    Making sugar... is it possible?

    Incorrect. The example I have closest at hand is my Denver Sectional aeronautical chart published by the FAA. The southern border of the chart is ~ 3530' North latitude and the northern border is just above 40 North latitude. Parallels of latitude increase as one travels further from the equator...

    Making sugar... is it possible?

    Sugarcane and sorghum are two different plants. The process to extract sugar from sugar beets is quite complex and of doubtful feasibility on a small scale. Sugarcane and sorghum are easier. Sugarcane cultivation is limited to lower latitudes; TX, LA, & FL produce much sugarcane. Sorghum is more...

    Can anyone recommend a good dog rescue group?

    I suggest Animal Rescue League-Iowa. If they can't help directly, they can probably refer to a group that can. http://www.arl-iowa.org/

    What to do with all that bologna???

    Perhaps not an answer for "a lot of it" but it is pretty good fried crispy and used in place of bacon in a BLT sandwich. It can also be diced, fried, and put on baked potatoes.

    Zucchini?

    Many possibilities. My favorite is sliced in a salad, or a large quantity sliced & combined with sliced Roma tomatoes w/ a modest amount of ranch-style dressing. I've been known to make a meal of just that, in a soup bowl. Also good pan fried or deep fried (again, my personal choice is to serve...

    For those who want to learn to Weld

    A good overview of the hazards of welding can be found at http://www.lindecanada.com/en/files/pdf/Safety_Hazards.pdf I see nothing there that would apply specifically to a pregnant woman (or one who might be pregnant) except for radiation exposure during electron beam welding.

    Cheap and easy drop pan?

    I'm sure that not everyone here subscribes to the standards set by CertifiedHumane.org, but they do have many good ideas in their certification program. For broiler chickens, copied from http://www.certifiedhumane.org/uploads/pdf/Standards/English/Std09.Chickens.2J.pdf

    Stocking Up, Putting Back, Prepping = Paranoia?

    I know I'm probably taking the OP too literally, but my take on it is this: stocking up on food & supplies isn't paranoid, but there are some characteristics of some preppers that do fit the criteria. Per Wikipedia: The World Health Organization's ICD-10 lists paranoid personality disorder as...

    Wire and Bale Jars

    I've bought mason jars from this site, and believe their prices to be good, although minimum quantity for most sizes is 12. I cannot speak directly about their wire bale jars, but perhaps it is a place to start. Good luck...
