The cost of things has gone up so much. It frustrates my grocery bill too. I've gotten to where I don't buy any extras or "fun stuff", unless we've had a very good paycheck. Just staying out of the store helps a lot. Planning ahead and getting it all in one or two trips a month and staying...

When I got my EEs, I heard that they would lay a medium size egg and I only got them because I wanted the blue eggs. These lovely little girls have turned out to be my best layers though and lay nice large eggs all the time, with an occasional jumbo one like yours. I love my EEs! :love

Ha, good one! :lol:

Hahaha...that's for sure! That was one of my first gardening mistakes too. I was throwing squash at people, begging them to take it off my hands. Really, 4 or 5 is usually enough. This is a really good point. I have a relatively big garden at 2,500 sq. feet, but corn still takes up so much...

Oh, let's see...if I could narrow it down to my top 3 worst mistakes it would go something like this: 1) I am bad about crowding too many plants together. Things do better when they have their space, they get more sun and nutrients and are less prone to disease. It helps to bring a yardstick...

Gorgeous little girl! Congratulations!

I didn't see it mentioned yet, but for anxiety and panic attacks I swear by Valerian root. Not just any brand will do though, as the concentration may not be enough. I use GNC's Herbal Plus Standardized Valerian Root. It is 500mg per capsule, 0.8% valerenic acids per 4mg. (for comparison, if...

Talk to her--about everything; describe things in color, shape, texture, feelings, etc. The more you talk and interact with her, explaining and describing the world around her the better her ability to express herself will be. You'd be surprised how much they pick up at such a young age. I...

Hmm, interesting. I might try this on a couple next round. We like to hang our deer for 7-8 days if the weather cooperates and I know it really makes a difference on them. (Usually the people I hear complaining about tough, "gamey" venison are the ones who rush theirs off to the butcher the...

Maybe not acidic enough? Some tomatoes, particularly heirlooms can be sweeter and I always add just a little extra lemon juice to them (on top of what is called for already). That, or maybe they were not processed long enough...

My MIL does that for a living. She usually makes between $7-9 an hour. If they like you, you can usually get extra hours pretty easily and a raise if they really like you and want to keep you badly enough. Seems to be very steady work as many people are living longer and wanting to stay in...

Just wish my husband could find time to stack his...period. Never thought of making woodpile sculpures!

Here ya go-- Cabela's Roughneck Duck Hooded Work Jacket - Regular You'd want to get it a size smaller than what you would wear in womens. Mine fit me really well. It feels and looks lightweight, but being insulated and windproof, they are very warm. I've certainly had good weather...

That is for certain! If it weren't for loss, we would never fully appreciate what we do have and the time we have with those we love (including our furry friends.) I have so many good memories... Sorry for your loss too, OFG. Dogs really do become part of the family, don't they. :hugs

I suppose if I were loaded and could afford it, I would. 20K is a bit steep though! I lost my 12.5-year-old chow-mix Monday before Christmas. I got her while I was in college and she had been everywhere with me and through so many changes in my life. If there had been any hope and if it had...

I bought a nice black cotton duck winter work coat from Cabela's recently (good deal at $30) and it was cotton duck. I am really pleased with it. The fabric is very durable and looks nicer than a cotton canvas. It's sorta like a very tightly knit denim, as best as I can describe it. Being...

OH yeah. Nothin' much else to do in Jan/Feb, but plan for next year's garden! :D

Awesome! :) I got one last year and I use it all the time! They will cook up the most tender roasts you've ever made, even wild game. You can cook just about anything in them, especially the kind with the flat lid that you can put coals on top of. Enjoy!

Surprised so many of you cut your own hair. That's neat. I'm seriously contemplating it.... Exactly!! :th Last cut I had done, the lady informed me it would be an extra $5 to blow-dry my hair when she was done (after getting the FREE shampoo). I told her forget it and I went out into the...

Now that's a Christmas present! :D
