aww! She is so cute. I have a pitty too. He is my 70 lbs cuddle bug. Every night we are on the sofa under the blanket together. Congrats on the goat babies. They are so cute! I wanna snuggle them! :)

I have this problem too. Mount Laundry has taken up semi-permanent residence on my kitchen table. I think though, that if you have a table that can fold up against the wall when you are finished with it, then you'd be OK. Well, that is if you clean up and fold it up when you're done working! I...

Back to the original thread, because of the high possibility of flooding around here, what we do for our food stores is to keep about 2 weeks worth, maybe a little more, here at the house. The rest goes to my MIL's house. She lives well out of the way of storm surge. Up by her house we only have...

I don't know about that. Wouldn't surprise me at all. I do know that it was proven that some of the levees were not built properly. The levee that failed in the 9th ward was one of them. Also, the 17th street canal levee. There was a lot of damage there too. I can tell you that it has been...

Yes, it was from levee breaches caused by a 40ft tidal surge funneled through the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet or Mr. Go as we call it. The surge came in and busted the levees. That is where most of the flooding came from. In fact that is where all of the flooding in the lower ninth ward and my...

I know this quote goes waaaayyyy back, but I just found this thread. While I agree that these people probably only had a can of soda and the ends of a loaf a bread in there houses.........during hurricane season.......in a city below sea level..........with Katrina staring them in the...

:gig That little guy is so cute. Glad they caught him. I don't think he'd survive a New Jersey winter. I live in SE Louisiana. Grew up surrounded by them. You could walk 4 blocks from where I lived growing up and there they were on the other side of the levee. Had someone ask me a few years...

Thanks everyone! I will be trying lots of new things in the next few days! :D I'll let ya'll know how it all turns out!

We gutted and rebuilt our house 6 years ago (thanks to katrina) and it's a shame I am ready to do most of it over again. I've decided I don't like the tile we put in and the pattern, which I love, is going in the wrong direction. I want to put in new vanities in each bathroom and change the...

My grandmother has a lemon tree which is FULL of lemons right now. She is going to give me a whole bunch of them which is great, but what can I do with all of these lemons. I will certainly make lemon pie and lemon aid. I also plan to pickle a bunch in salt and water. So here's the question...

Always dishes. I'd rather do anything else, like till the garden or wash a car or go to the grocery or do laundry or haul fire wood (and I don't even have a fireplace :) ) or sweep, or dust or ............ well, you get the picture.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful to everyone here who has given me advice to help me on my way. I hope you all have a blessed day.

Got up and picked beans and peas this morning. I have 3 eggplants left on the bush that will be ready in a day or two. Still have figs on the tree. Maybe sometime this weekend or early next week I might be able to make another batch of fig jam. That should be it for the figs this year I think...

Ok. I do feel a little better Evidence: tomorrow's project? Some of these guys:

I'm grumpy today. Hubby and I had a long talk this weekend about buying a 2 acre piece of land that I found. He pointed out a lot of logical stuff like it's in the middle of nowhere and where would we work (because we'd still have to work) and we really want more land than that and blah blah...

When I get my land (somday) I hope to get a couple of miniature Jerseys. I think when that time comes I will be very "focused" as well. Congrats on your decision and I'm sure you'll find just the right cow. I love the name Gladys. :)

That is adorable and sooo yummy looking!

That's what I'll do. Thanks :)

OK, so only let them dry on the vine if I want to use them as seed for next season? That must be where the misunderstanding was. So, if I am going to freeze them, should I pick them and shell them right away? Do I need to blanch them like with green beans?
