One of our 12 week old Americanas (my son's favorite named Delgado :hit ) was missing at roll call last night and I found her this morning under my tractor. She had been dead for many hours. I examined her and saw no signs of wound or blood. She did had quite a lot of poo near her rear-end...

Kay...here goes nothing... 1) How long have you been interested in self sufficiency? I've been slowly learning and becoming more interested over the past 5 years. 2) Does your family think you're nuts or are they as crazy as you are? Nuts doesn't begin to describe it!! They were ready to...

My in-laws shared that the national Route 40 yard sale is going on this weekend. They drove most of Rt. 40 in Licking county and saw more yard sales than they could count! If my daughter's sleepover ends early enough tomorrow I'll be driving Rt. 40 myself!!! :fl

I save money today by grinding up 6lbs of ham that I got free from my work. I now have 3 bags of frozen ham to use for ham salad on those days when I don't have the energy to cook!!! :thumbsup

LOL, yes fever is better. It was a hellish 3 days and I never did present any other symptoms. The epsom salt bath worked wonders, it eased the aches and helped me sleep. My whole family has been plagued with colds and illness this year thanks to sending my girls to public school after a...

I paid $3.79 today :celebrate when I went to fill up the gas can for mowing!! I told the hubby to fill up while he's out as that's the cheapest I've seen it in quite a while.

Thank you all so much for the great ideas!! Hubby is very anti-medication but sees herbal remedies as friendly!! I will discuss with his the suggestions then hit the health food store. It's hard on both of us when he can't sleep at night then finally passes out in the early morning and...

My hubby is under a tremendous amount of stress and is having difficulty sleeping. He gets really tired but when he lays down his heart and mind begin to race. It takes hours to fall asleep. Are there any natural anti-anxiety herbs out there that would help him relax enough to sleep? Deborah

When I was preggo with #3, I had severely low hemoglobin and iron issues. My midwife suggested I take alfalfa supplements. They worked like a charm and my levels were normal in no time! Hope you figure it all out.

My grocery/household stuff bill averages 100-150 per week for a family of 5. I've been slowly cutting it back by switching to cloth napkins and rags instead of paper towels. Once I get a return on my garden, it'll drop a bit. I am challenging myself to keep the total to under $100 a week...

I'm trying a new strategy for grocery shopping which includes only buying items from the current week flyer or items from Aldis. I hit Kroger and Meijer, bought only from their sales flyer and used these awesome free coupons Kroger sent me and only spent $88!! Thant includes a "splurge" on a...

DH and I got the final copies of our new mortgage modification notarized and sent back to the bank. They made an error when calculating the interest and our payments dropped $75 per month!! A bank that can't add?? Shocking!! :ep Saved us $$ in the long run and we ended up getting a .25%...

I have been running a low grade fever for the past 3 days. Ranging from 99-101.6. When I go thru the cold and chilled cycle of the fever I get muscle and joint aches something terrible. It has been horrible in the mornings and gets progressively better as the day goes on. No other symptoms...

I would love to have Millie!! Unfortunately, I don't have a barn yet. I am still a little nervous about taking that leap. :hide The Hubster and I have discussed the merits of having goats but are fearful of going broke trying to care for them. I've researched hoop barns and we can get set up...

My top 12... Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Garlic Powder, Oregano, Basil, Dried Onion, Corriander, Chili Powder, Red Pepper Flakes, Sage, Dry Mustard and Ginger. Great idea! I appreciate homemade and handmade gifts so much more than store bought ones. It takes an effort on the giver's part and shows...

I read through the Chapter 901:12-13 of the Administrative Code and came across this in the definition section as to what a Dairy Farm is: "(B) Dairy farm and farm mean a place or premise where one or more lactating animals (cows, goats, sheep, water buffalo, or other hooved mammals) are kept...

Congrats!! :ya

Maybe to paint a picture that the families struggling are in that position due to being lazy, undisciplined and financially irresponsible. :hu It will be easier on the elite and politicians to discount the poor if they can shift the blame off a government who consumed more than it produced...

It would be a bit of a drive and with gas prices as they are I wouldn't be able to afford the drive home!!! I do appreciate the offer!! :D

$38,000 income would be a step up for my family. We supported a family of 5 on just under 30K last year. DH lost his job in October and we're making it work on even less now. I understand her frustration...she had a dream of how their lives would be and it crashed. Letting her laundry pile...
