Deer ticks are tiny - I mean tiny - the size of the period at the end of this sentence. With legs. They must be on you for 24 hours before they do their damage, but you'll no doubt never even see the tick, they fall off after feeding. They aren't like dog ticks that stay on for a few days. I...

Well, if you've got a house that was built before code, then you are SOL, aren't you? That's what I've got - and it would cost a heck of a lot more than $500 to fix it, I'd have to remove the whole roof, install a whole new rafter system, etc. The back shed dormer has a very shallow pitch...

Watch out for icicles, they indicate a warm roof, and ice dams can follow. Flat-ish roofs should be shoveled off. We have a snow rake, we can get the front roof pretty well from the ground, but hubby has to go up onto the back roof to shovel it off, it's got a shallow pitch, and I've already...

Yep, I was thinking the same thing, hoar frost ;)

I am 53, my birthday is in April. I may get older but I'll never grow up!

Let's keep the discussions along the forum lines and not about moderation.

Keep politics out of any replies here. Guns are a self-sufficiency issue, so this will stay open as long as posts remain on point.

Yes it can! :)

I bought it - need to watch it now!

Yep, the Walmarts around here all carry Lodge, too. When we got to Tennessee there's a Lodge outlet somewhere near my inlaws, I've always wanted to pick up a good fry pan, this visit I think I will.

Pat, I actually found that via Google, too. Amazon sells it, too! But thank you for checking for me :)

Why would a moderator have a problem with the use of the term 'castration' when discussing animal castration? :hu No worries.

They still make it, but we can't get it here - Sanders Hot Fudge. And Vernor's Ginger Ale. I was born in Michigan and we always had both.

Monsanto stopped producing rGBH, so you'll see that little label everywhere - they didn't stop willingly, they stopped because their supply dried up. :rolleyes:

We have bees in a bedroom community of Boston as well as up on 2.4 acres in Maine - ask me anything you want :). I have a list I've created called 'Using Internet Resources', all about beekeeping, that we hand out each year at our club's bee school, I've just updated it. PM me your e-mail...

This was my Facebook status on January 6, 2010: "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of 'bio-tech' food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job." Remember that...

Could you use a food processor? I have a nice bottle of cold pressed organic sunflower oil I'm going to try this with (got it up at the Common Ground Fair last year). I have a stick blender, but I was thinking the food processor might be better, using the pulse feature :hu

Thank you for that link, I ordered the bags - and more of the green produce bags, I think they work well, but mine have been washed too many times to be truly effective anymore.

No, they don't grow, they just store well in the ground :) The hay keeps the frost from reaching them - and believe me, it's been cold here lately, although right now we're in a bit of a warm spell. It's supposed to rain to snow tonight. Aly, you should be able to start spinach under that...

I had two bales of salt marsh hay in the garage I never used this past summer, so I put them on top of my carrot/parsnip bed (and worked a bunch around the poor cardoon, we'll see if it makes it up here in the frozen north!). The ground beneath the hay wasn't frozen, and I was able to pull...
