When we were preparing to move, we hit the semi-rural yard sales, looking for hand tools for gardening and repairs. We found quite a few really good tools in the $1-10 price range. We cleaned tehm up and then stored them away until the Big Move came about. I don't know how far you're moving...

I used to work at a bookstore that stocked a Roadkill Cookbook. Although much of it was written tongue-in-cheek, it was a real cookbook with some valuable information in it. "The liberals raised such a fuss about how it showed disrespect " That statement just shocks me to the core. I am...

I'm one of the most liberal people I know, but 14 and 12 is too young to be left home alone all night. They would likely be just fine....PROVIDED nothing unusual occurs. But you know that the minute you drive away, something strange and unusual will happen. What do they do when some weirdo...

You don't want to hear what I'm thinking about my mortgage. Foul-mouthed sailors have better language. Our bank mortgage got sold to a mortgage broker, who is now under federal investigation for fraud. They immediately filed for bankruptcy after being raided a year ago. All their lockboxes...

There is a free Greek/English translator here: http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html You could type in a few key words to see what it says.

I've got the time.....I've got the room....I don't have the nerve! I know so little about cattle, and I want a Dexter soooo bad, but I need to apprentice or something until I know enough to properly tend to one.

Hubby is cooking tonight, so we're having burgers, mac n cheese, a salad and some sliced tomatoes. If I ever get my butt up from the computer, there will be banana bread for after dinner.

Murphysranch, I have to respectfully disagree with you about Washington State. Hubster and I moved here to SE Washington three years ago, from the glorious California Central Coast. We got an 1800 SF house with a finished walk-out basement on just under three acres for about $170, 000. We...

I went to the Friends of the Library book sale. Spent $20 and came home with over 40 books on gardening, beekeeping, DIY home maintenance and repairs, making garden furniture and ornaments, quilting, plus a bunch of novels. In the Black and Decker home repair book, I found the information I...

Alan B, I would love to advise you, but I am but a novice myself. From what I've read, making butter from goat's milk is quite a challenge, as goat's milk is naturally homogenized. From what I've read, only cow's milk separates like that, into cream and milk. And Sunny, I've been seriously...

You've got plenty of room for goats, for milk, cheese and meat. I was surprised how quick and easy it is to make goat milk mozzarella....only about 1/2 an hour!

I found a racoon turning over the trash cans one time and shooed him away with a broom He had the nerve to turn and hiss at me. I wacked the heck out of him with that broom! They are ornery little buggers.

What's your address? I'll be there as soon as I can. SOMEBODY had better do a thorough taste-test on that stuff, to see if it's as good as it looks. I can help you with that!

Make your bid contingent on getting a satisfactory report on the well and the well water, as well as the condition of the home.

I have to put in a plug here for my family, who not only accept my handmade gifts and baking, but enthusiastically encourage me to continue with the Christmas Gift Baskets. I've given other handmade gifts over the years, too, and I know they are appreciated. I've come across my mom at the...

Homemade soaps, jellies and jams, mead, crocheted items and cross-stitched pillowcases......wow! Are any of you looking to adopt a slighty chubby granny who has a great appreciation of handmade gifts?

For about ten years now, we've made Christmas Breakfast Baskets for each family and for our neighbors. We find pretty baskets over the year at yard sales and thrift stores, usually pay 25-50 cents a piece. We buy wide ribbons and big bows at the after-Christmas sales, usually getting enough...

I'm sorry.

I want one! My '87 Toyota Camry wagon does its best to imitate a pick-up truck, but it just ain't the same.....
