Our house is in that dark purple spot. You should see all the granite we have unearthed.

me&the gals - Where are you located in Central Wisconsin? I'd love to see your operation. We have thrown about the idea of doing CSA farming someday. It all depends on the economy around here picking up and one of us having a job in the area. Right now my husband is working in Eau Claire...

Possibly pancreatitis? How much fat is in the food you are feeding your cat? I know our kitty cannot have venison, beef or salmon. She is borderline pancreatic. Too rich for her. Lefty does fine with chicken, lamb and some tuna. Lefty did not puke after every meal, but she would puke at...

Welcome! We are practically neighbors. Annette

Welcome Calendula. We live about halfway between Marshfield and Stratford. Annette

I saw that someone used old-fashioned milk/cream cartons for soap molds. Would plastic grated cheese containers (cut to the thickness of the soap) work as molds? I made basic lye soap with pork lard and beef suet and used an unused litterbox (don't know why we have an extra one lying around?)...

We'll have snow on the ground tomorrow, the day after, maybe in May yet, who knows with the way the weather is acting. We got 13 or so inches between Sunday and Monday. Our grill is surrounded by a 4 foot drift and dog is sniffing out mouse trails in the 2 1/2 foot drift that is our yard...

Nothing 'bout snow here. My little Cobalt is surrounded by a drift up to the bottom of the passenger door windows. Good thing the pickup truck is parked way at the end of the driveway where I will have to walk through 20 degree temperatures and 30 mph winds. Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Annette

Six companies that I have worked for have gone out of business. When I worked in Chicago and told that to a co-worker, he called me "Typhoid Annette". That was the last former employer to go out of business. We have lost a lot of manufacturing around here: paper mills and prefab house...

I think Roy wants to stick to old Fords or AMC's. Our '79 Ford had over 360,000 miles on it when it went to "Ford Heaven". The Chevy he rolled had 376,000 miles on it when he rolled it. We had a '68 Chevy that had 350,000 miles on it when it went to "Chevy Heaven". Our Cherokee has something...

We don't necessarily have names for our current vehicles. Most often they are called "Piece of_______". Over the weekend the driver's door handle (inside) broke on our new to us '96 Ford F150. You should have heard the choice names that truck now has. It also ate a wrench when it fell down...

Firewood is fine. Propane tank is fine. Refrigeration - no worry, haven't been above freezing since New Year's Eve. Generator if needed. If our driveway is snowed in - He is on speed dial. We aren't in the path of the blizzard, but we live in the middle of a farm field with no north wind...

How about if someone lets their altered male be alpha over them by letting it hump their leg, or if they are sitting at ground level and said dog gives them a "hug" or just has radar lock on said person? Then the person just complained all the time because of the dog's behavior??? Then that...

I don't blame any of our critters for responding to their instincts. Our greyhound, Icabod, had absolutely no prey drive. When we lived "down south" (for us, 180 miles south of Chicago is down south), we were out in the boonies on 17 1/2 acres. On one occasion, Roy unknowingly mowed over a...

Dixie has never had the opportunity to meet a domestic rabbit, but just look at her enthusiasm for the wild variety :rolleyes: I am sure the chase would have been on if she were off lead inside the yard. They just learn they can't catch the bunny when there is a long necktie wrapped around...

We try to be good fur parents.

Our kitties have always been indoor kitties. I don't know if we have any secret to their longevity otherwise. Spooky, Garfield and Taffy just ate Purina Cat Chow and a variety of canned. I remember having Taffy on a special diet for pancreatitus for a while, but she did not like it and we...

We currently have one 15 year old kitty. Doesn't she look innocent? Lefty was found on the side of the road by someone my husband was working with. He got back to the office and told him about her. When Roy asked him what he did with the cat, he said that he left her there. The coworker...

Awwwwww I have to post my kitty pics later

glenolam, believe it or not, there are fat greyhounds out there. Scarlett, our greyhound dressed up as Scarlett O'Hara in my other post, was a 55 - 57 lb greyhound normally. When she was an only hound child she got up to 65 lbs. I always joked that she was trying to be a black lab (I know not...
