Thank you @Poka_Doodle. Memorial day is just a few days away now. And I haven't been entirely open about my entire family. Partly because on boards similar to this one I have been on in the past have been particularly toxic. A lot of politics and very vocal people made me why away from opening...

I tend to not post in journals at all. Its not that I don't care about what people are saying. Its just that it's a journal. I don't expect anyone to post in mine. But they are welcome to. I guess I kind of see journals as a place to write your thoughts down or your happenings for you. Just...

Sorry. Its been a very very busy couple weeks. Like 12 to 16 hour days six and seven days a week. Congrats @Hinotori While I'm preparing the brine for Monday's dinner. Here's one I took of a little thing I did with a sharpie and pencil. Sometimes it's good to just sit down and let your...

Lol Sumi. Not to go off topic. I like Guinness. But if I had my druthers it would be Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout (though their imperial stout isn't bad either). That's if I had to drink beer or the meal called for it.

I saw that one on FB the other day. Lol

I've been contemplating building a moveable greenhouse that I can erect right over the small garden I have growing and then move elsewhere once the weather warms enough that it's not needed. So thank you. This thread has given me lots of ideas.

Very very true. And good on your baby girl.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the proper place to put it. But because it does have to do with financial stability I figured it does. Like I said before I don't have kids yet. But I know the kind of mother I want to be. I'm sure that everyone who has kids had told them that they can be...

Lol. The last batch ended up a little more dry than usual. Good but dry. Maybe because of the acidic nature of kiwi.

Spinach is about ready to harvest. Corn is valve high maters are doing great. But the peppers and cucumbers need a bit more heat.

So it's that time again. Well kind of. This wine is going to be made into brandy. But the process is basically the same. Ish. When I was grocery shopping today I found strawberries on sale 2.99 for two pounds. So I bought six pounds. And half a pound of raspberries. Instead of starting out...

Bleach does kill everything if you leave it in it long enough. 5 min in 5% bleach especially. Clorox comes at 5.5% Or so say dads NBC manuals. But I didn't think to wash them before using them next year. Thanks. I like that term. Curbside shoppers. It sounds like a tv show.

His. And yeah they did need trimmed. His middle two toe claws always grew fast for some reason. The quick grew out with it. So we had to take him into the vet and have them cut back.

I found them. Apprently I carried them outside in my hand after I left the store then set them in my lap when I got into my truck. They ended up by the front tire of my truck. I need to dry them again so they can keep till next spring. Marigolds and morning glories.

I'll have to look. But I thought there were HSAs that you could sign up for yourself. Or maybe you 'm only sign up for them if you have a high deductible policy. Which are common for self insurers.

With the rise in the cost of healthcare and the debacle over insurance I figured I'd talk a little about health savings accounts. These are nifty little ways (at least in the states) where you can put more taxed money into an account that you can later use for medical purposes. Something a...

So as I was riding home from work today I saw an elderly lady taking an armload of planters out to the dumpster by the end of her drive. They weren't anything special. But there were like 60 4 packs. She looked at me like I was crazy for asking if I could have them. But have them to me none...

Welcome. You will love it here. This is by far the best group of people with the self sufficient mindset that I've ran into on the internet.

I managed to loose 3.95 today. I found some seeds on sale and can't find them now.

I'm gonna Google some saw mills. I'll let ya know
