First let me say... :welcome next... I would love to hear more on how you tan the rabbit hides... I have several that I've saved back they are salted in ziplock baggies awaiting the day I can figure out how or what to do with them... about the cityboy thing.... I have one of those and...

chocolate is worth it's weight in gold! so it's still cheap enough for me to afford! LOL

Ok first the price of gas going up which in turn makes the price of everything (even local items) increase in price to cover production prices is what I feel is the primary cause of the current price fluctuations. Farmers need fuel to run the tractors then trucks need fuel to deliver said items...

wow that is soooooo awesome!!! next time the wife is upset with ya can I borrow you? LOL

Inflation (without getting too technical) is when the value of the dollar decreases. Which in turn typically doesn't hurt the economy with small fluctuations over time... because with inflated prices typically comes inflated saleries as well... comparing us to the 50's prices also needs to...

I can't remember where I read it at but I also heard that the something in the concrete will break down the plastic and for long term it can put holes in your buckets or weaken the bottoms...

I mix powdered milk in with my reg milk to make yogurt all the time... this added milk thickens the yogurt... just make it like you always would... as for cheese I've never tried to make it with powdered but all I could find said you can use the powdered milk but it won't melt like normal...

I get my rice and almonds from sam's club... beans I buy at aldi's they don't have them in bulk but it's still cheaper than I've found them in bulk different places, I haven't bought any wheat in bulk yet... but best price I found for it was an LDS cannery... they are all over the US so you can...

wow that is so cool! I used to make jewelry and such with polymer clay but that stuff got so stinking expensive... we have the natural red clay here in our yard and I've thought of using it for some projects but I'm not huge on the terracotta color... Never even knew you could make your own...

LOL glad I'm not the only mean mom! Man I hate doing it sometimes but how else are they going to learn! My kiddos are picking up pieces of styrofoam by hand now as I type... (yes a vacuum would be easier but I'm not letting them tear it up too) they thought it would be fun to take a giant piece...

I don't really feel that that new law is limiting self sufficiency... they are limiting roosters to two for a 1/2 acre area... to have a sustainable flock you merely need one rooster so I feel that's very generous... That article is trying to save a rooster sanctuary.... I'm all for the...
