I think your right, a combination of genetics and early training. but my son is always hot when he plays and I always tell him to put on a coat-he thinks its ok to play outside in 40's with a short sleeve shirt and jacket, no gloves no hat, hole-y pants, so we have had the lecture session many...

You know how they always say women get colder than men? Well absolutely true! I have always been skinny-not healthy, but skinny-not near enough fat! I already wear 2 layers! Double socks and slippers just to think I might be warm! My house is cold to me at 74! If I had my way it would be 78. I...

My husband is an electrical too, and I have heard the same things about power use. He although is in no big hurry to be conservative, and 1st to complain about the bill going up b/c of winter! In Oklahoma, I keep our thermostat at 74, I hate being cold and am still suffering in a sweater! I...

I read in consumer reports that they aren't as economical as they say. It was probably 2 years ago that I read that-late 2009. Ever since then I have had it In my mind they are bad. Now i happen to have taken that issue from the dr's office! As i read- some require premium pellets, supposed to...

Thanks so much for all the feedback! I'm going to use your ideas! Guess I'll .just pour what I have out in the woods, maybe feed a few wild things, then going to try the soap thing, and making my own lard! I'm surprised about the amount from a goose! I dont know much about geese, but I would...

I mix it all together, except bacon grease, that I keep. So do you use your all your meat fats for flavoring? Do you mix them or keep them separate? My oil is try to reuse, its usually never enough for the next pan, so I end up adding some. That's a great idea on the restaurants. How do you ake...

I dont have a clothes line! So are your clother wrinkly? I am incredibly ocd about my laundry, colorcoded, folded perfectly, washed appropriately , the whole 9byards. So are they stiffer, does the use of fabric softener help with that? I iron everything that needs ironing before it goes in the...

Just fyi- I've been spending enitrly too much time online looking for this exact thing! All I found were a bunch of scams, so be very careful. I also want to note that the build your own kits, few actually work, or work the way you are told they will. So do your research before you spend your...

We just moved from one power district to another, we were on a city owned electric company and paid about 7.9 cents, but now we are on a co-op and pay 8.3. Since I haven't looked at that stuff in a while I would say the gradual increase is the difference. And I have been thinking - there should...

2 years ago I was in a car wreck and sustained a concussion,prior to that I had never!-yes never had a single headache! Now I get debilitating migraines. July and most of August 2010 I was in bed- barely left my room, bathroom breaks were dredful b/c of the light in my house, no sound, no TV...

As a rule I used to take mine to the recycle center, we had a biofuels dumpster. I always save it in a old butter bowl, when its full I have no idea what to do now! We moved and the only biofuel recycle place is 50 miles away. Is there something functional I can do with it? I won't put it down...

I just signed up for their newsletter! Can you give me and idea what the article was called so I can check it out? I have the right windows for that! I have been freezing! I have to keep thermostat at 72 or 73 so we have propane through the first part of winter- and that's just guessing, since...

thanks Jim! And welcome! Yeah I kinda think it is, im going to keep digging though, I know people have done it, and I will eventually figure it out. I was originally going to probably do it anyway and then I checked that site, glad I did! Thanks for finding that! Saved my $50. I may not be able...

I did a bit of research on solar and wind power, want to convert totally, but in time. So we all know how outrageously expensive it is and if your over 50 you may never see a return on your investment. So I found this guy earth4energy.com he has a 'Special offer' for $50 he shows you step for...

I think this for this reason, people will lose the basic core of who they are b/c of fear and desperation. We will lose people of all backgrounds, that could have been very valuable to us as a whole.the doctors aren't going to just all die, they will just be in a bad situation for a lot of them...

That is a great idea! And a dual purpose! I know I dont think I could be desperate enough to try to get through a BlackBerry bramble! And we were just talking about planting them this spring! Now I know where to put them!

I have no idea what that is, but I found this olive oil reciepe, very simple! I think that the oliveoil will do wonders for him. I have been stuck on this site- lilltlehouseinthesuburbs.com. Its been so informative and teachsoap.com has a lot of recipes for lotions, face stuff and the extra...

I wish we could build anything underground! We have about 1 1/2 ft of soil then solid bedrock! I would love a root cellar! As much as I would love to be semi prepared with everything, im afraid we won't get there, but having it in the fore front of our thinking puts us way ahead of many many...

That is a great idea! We actually have bamboo growing down by the lake! May not be the right kind but bamboo is bamboo right? The sad thing is that so many people don't want to think about the real consequences of this country's decisions. While I may not be directly to blame- I certainly wasn't...
