    How many use and appreciate.......

    I never understand why one person cares what another person does as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.:idunno Okay, I have a couple of question about the cloths, not the monthly ones but your regular bathroom use ones. You said you put the #1 cloths in a bucket. Does that bucket have soapy water...

    Home Made Dish Liquid?

    Am I missing it, or is there not a 'search' feature in this board? Could someone direct me to a thread on how to make your own dish liquid if there is one already? If there isn't, does anyone do this and how? Thanks! PS: Not for a dishwasher, just for regular sink washing that is.

    Chocolate Formula!?!

    Ditto for me. That's exactly what I was disgusted at.

    An Easier Way To Empty Eggs?

    Good idea, I will buy a couple of the kits. I almost asked you if they last very long. Since I have chicks now, I'm sure I'll be doing crafts and stuff with the chicken eggs too. Thanks again, I'm psyched that there's an easy solution!

    An Easier Way To Empty Eggs?

    for 6 bucks?! SOLD. I'd spend more in gas money driving to the vet to get a syringe. Thanks for the various tips, but if this gadget works I am totally sold. Thank you! :) :clap

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    Thanks for understanding. A lot of people would just say I'm being silly. You said, "If you are against slaughtering animals, using the "waste" meats like chicken necks that aren't in grocery stores is a nice option. You aren't contributing to the slaughter of animals for human consumption...

    An Easier Way To Empty Eggs?

    Hope this is a good place for this, I had no idea where to post it. I was searching craft websites for the answer to this question, but when I had no luck I thought that a lot of you have chickens and geese, maybe you can help. You know when you want to do Easter Eggs and you take a raw egg and...

    Chocolate Formula!?!

    I thought you wanted a recipe for chocolate. :P This is so wrong on so many levels. Did anyone watch Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver? I don't have kids, so I was shocked to see that they hand out chocolate milk to elementary students. Oliver said it has more sugar than a soda! (or a "fizzy...

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    I'm sorry Tortoise, I did read that after all. I think the "chicken necks" and "other types of meat and extras" turned me off a bit. I know it may sound stupid. I don't think it's literally the cutting that bothers me, but seeing a recognizable part of an animal is what grosses me out. I need...

    Has anyone ever grown sweet potatoes in pots?

    So coincidental: Remember that guy on public TV who used to do the show The Victory Garden? Well, it aired out of Boston, so it may have just been a local show. I think his name was Crockett. Anyway, he wrote a book years ago on gardening. So I'm at my neighbors yesterday and he had that book...

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    I wish I could let my cats go out, but they can't. I used to let them go out a few years back in another town where I lived, but one of them would literally break a bone just about every time he went out to play! He would leap up into a tree, freak himself out and DIVE out of the tree. He's...

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    Um yeah, I stopped at "6 whole chickens". There is no way I could stomach that, I am way to squeamish. I can deal with a lot of gross things, but not chopping up animals parts. NOT knocking it; kudos to those who can, but not for me! Thank you, though.

    alternatives to egg cartons?

    You can get the plastic egg containers like what Crusty McPottydoodle linked to at your local RV shop. We used to travel in a motor home, and these were commonly found in RV supply shops due to their portability.

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    I was on another thread asking for advice on reducing my trash, and someone suggested making my own cat food to eliminate all the cat food cans. I looked for a thread on this, but didn't see one. Does anyone make their own cat food, and if so what do you use? How do you prepare it? I would love...

    How Can I Propagate Lilac Branches?

    A house down the road from me has been vacant and for sale for a very long time. One night, as I walked down to check the mail at the end of the road, I decided there would be no harm in picking a few Lilacs that are at the edge of the road near the house. I remembered my ex said that he was...

    What To Do With My Trash?!

    Oh, I was responding to Abifae who said "...if your neighbor has so many bins, would he mind you stopping by to sort?..." Yes, I would love it if I could work something out like that. Right now he plows my driveway for free in exchange for me feeding and caring for his geese & checking on his...

    What To Do With My Trash?!

    I appreciate all the suggestions, thanks. As far as using the neighbor's bins, that would be a bit awkward, it's not like they're big bins in his yard and I can just walk over. They are small trash cans lined up in his kitchen. So that would be incredibly intrusive. I'm not exactly sure what...

    What To Do With My Trash?!

    A lot of people are suggesting that I simply reduce my trash, but I live alone, and being alone I now have the freedom to do certain things that a spouse might not like, such as reusing paper towels (or using rags & rinsing them), most paper gets put into the kindling basket to start fires, I do...

    What To Do With My Trash?!

    That's right. There isn't a "curb" around here for miles. I live on a dirt road way out in the middle of nowhere. There are no garbage trucks or curb pickup, etc. Some people around here have dumpsters from private companies, but I can't afford that. Otherwise we're supposed to drive our trash 5...
