**Toddles off to read up on laundry bars and salt**

truly the whites are effected Yes they are...but I always thought it was because I was using Ivory instead of fels naptha. Can't find that stuff around here. I bleach my stuff pretty regularly. I despise dingy whites! They are my curse! :barnie I gave up lol Sometimes I wish I could give...

Oh that's aweful. I sure know about medical bills and car problems. :hugs Just keep truckin'. (no pun intended)

I definately want to sign up. I just made another batch of soap last night. Dark chocolate scent colored with cocoa powder. It's the first time I have ever used any sort of color and I think it came out pretty well. I tend to make my bars a little on the small size to feel comfortable in my...

I'm the youngest of two. I have an older brother who I love very much, though we aren't as close as we used to be just because of the distance factor - he lives in TX. Dad was the oldest of 3, the grandson of a tenant farmer. He was the only boy and was adored and coddled. He served in Vietnam...

I'm terribly sorry WZ. It's so hard to lose a pet. :hugs

:hugs It'll get better soon.

I had a hard time with bad odors as well, until I started adding baking soda and vinegar. I keep some commercial stuff on hand for the smells that JUST WON'T COME OUT. I use the ALL perfume free and dye free. I wash with my homemade stuff twice before I go that route though, and I don't have...

I was talking to a lady a couple months ago about her garden and she said: (paraphased of course) Every night after I gave my kids a bath, I would get the bucket and bale out the tub and go pour it in the garden. Everyone's garden around me was dying because of the heat, drought and water...

I can't really offer to much more... I have a family of 4 (that's me included). We have 1 Buff Orp (her eggs are a medium on the egg scale I got for Christmas and this is the third time since the spring she has gone broody), 3 RIRs (a good medium egg) 2 Barred Rock (a good large egg), 1...

:yuckyuck I have a friend of mine that has one of those too. He put one of those pink plastic flamingos in his yard right by her house so she has to look at it every day. Needless to say, he only did it because she hates them LOL.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't even know there was such a thing. I'll keep my eyes open.

My DD got my DH and I aluminum wallets LOL. She found them at Walmart...as seen on TV.

LOL I guess it must seem that way.

Welcome. I certainly envy your growing season, but not your humidity LOL. Good luck to you and your hubs on your prepping and self sufficiency adventures. It's gonna be fun and frustrating!!!

They would be great for setting some onions out to cure on!

:gig

Agreed

Sorry Toulle, I didn't mean to skip over you here. I was responding to ICU and got caught up in the regular goings on around the house and I took me quite a while to finish. I am going to take a big chance, go out on a limb, and run my mouth off some more about the question here. By all...

If you are a really great shot, are able to "keep your cool" when you have to find and use that gun(which takes some experience) then go for a gun. Frankly, carrying a weapon in areas that have other folks close by might not be the best option for those who are not highly trained with a...
