so if Internet is a "necessity" how did people live for HUNDREDS of years prior to its invention? It's not a necessity, it's one of those things that have made life easier and because it's easier, it's now a "necessity". Trust me, you would not die if you didn't have internet. That's the...

And that is fine me&, but it is not a "necessity" as you can still manage to do your work from work. It is a "luxury" in that it is easier from home. That doesn't mean that low income families should have a "luxury" that is cheaper for them than it is for me. That is all that I am saying.

Okay time to take a break and reach into the inner b*tch inside yourself, plain and simple. My daughter is an only child and quite frankly, a spoiled rotten brat. She is very self-centered only because well she never had to be anything different. She flipped out when my bf's son was going to...

To me, anything that is not required to maintain life is a "luxury". Seems now that society deems many many things that have recently (in my lifetime and before) become "commonplace" but does that make them a "necessity". It is not a necessity to have the internet. People lived without it for...

What she said ... This country was founded on the belief that everyone should be able to worship how they wish and one of the fundamental cores of the country was "free speech". To truly be an American is to be able to allow people to live their lives as they wish... You make a choice each...

Here is Molly Moo Moo

Lasagna and garlic bread... best part ... bf cooked it!

I bookmarked it to keep an eye on the link and if you need any help, please let me know.

I will have to remember the washing with water part... thank you!

That is great! I just read through it and added it to my favorites. Now to wait until Molly gets old enough to breed, carries the calf, delivers the calf and then the time it takes me to figure out how to milk!!!! No problem!!!!

To me it means the process of going from saying "I'll be back in a few minutes, I have to run to the store" to walking to the freezer and getting dinner. It means figuring out ways to break myself of the use/throw away lifestyle that seems to be the "in" thing. It means going through the...

I turned the heat on technically; however, I set it at 56 ... Seems my hot flashes are working and since I'm comfortable with the heat generated by them, my SO and his son can wear sweatshirts :lol:

:yuckyuck :gig

I may not post much in the journals because I feel almost as if I shouldn't until I know people better and have been here longer, but I'm here, confused and kinda lost, but I'm used to that feeling so just sitting back and trying to see what comes of it (or what I think "it" is) and then decide...

I thought the article was informative, and as it didn't ask me for any information for the HSUS, so not worried about any infiltration here. I look at them as a necessary evil since not all people can be trusted to take care of their animals and/or animals don't always have somebody around to...

I had never heard of them prior to this post. But that being said, I'm going to try my first time making my own laundry detergent, so really wouldn't have a need ... but was an interesting read!!! Ya learn something new every day and since apparently I'm not learning the microbiology at least...

Don't take it to heart CC .... you posted a picture to be proud of, giving the purpose of this forum, being self-sufficient. I bet you that for the ones that took offense, two or more thought it was an amazing picture! Don't let anybody ever take away from an accomplishment for yourself. If...

I don't find it offensive, I find it right in tune with the fundamental theme of this forum, providing for oneself. So for me, at least, your apology is accepted, but not required. Think of how long you can feed your family and even clothe them (not that I would know how to make a coat out of...

Thank you so much for the explanation of tools needs to store stuff! Now I have my "research list" and my "shopping list" going I can figure out what I need to buy to store and what to store it in! The amount of knowledge I have gained in just a few months here is probably more than I gained...

I have started pricing spices, sugar, flour, etc believing that I need to start stocking up on this stuff as the prices are going through the roof. My problem is storage. I have to buy something to store all of this stuff in to keep it fresh, but what do you store it in? Well, I should reword...
