You have to go to the NRA website to see it, but it is well worth the time. I just wish the folks in charge would take the time to listen to it, and truly consider the points he makes, rather than take such a "Oh my God, it's a Gun!" attitude. I hope this post is not too political to have on...

I think I am going to have to start freezing some of the raw milk I get. Since I don't have the grandkids over here regularly, we don't go through enough milk to keep it fresh. And it's so darned expensive, I hate to toss it out.

Lots of good information and ideas here. I think I saw that one about meditation when you wake up at night. It's a great idea. Other people I know who have a cpap love it. It seems to be an awful lot of trouble, but apparently you get used to it quickly, and you feel so much better. My DH had...

Once you get into a pattern of staying awake for several hours in the middle of the night, it's really hard to break it, and you create anxiety about it, so that decreases your chance of getting back to sleep anytime soon. If you take melatonin, you need to take magnesium and calcium with it...

My DH took some pictures, but for some reason, it is difficult to send them or post them with our antique computer system. Well, not difficult. Has been impossible to this point. I may try again after I get done cooking tomorrow.:)

Hi, Lettermullen, what part of the country (or world) are you in? We have folks from all over the world on here. But most of us are in the US. Welcome to the forum.

I got the crazy idea of making some of the little grandkids "stick ponies" (hobby horses) for Christmas. I used the instructions I got off you-tube. It was pretty easy, but trying to make them sturdy enough for the rough housing I know they will go through was challenging. I finally got them...

We have an old coverlet that my FIL made out of discarded mens' suits. It is very heavy, and rather ugly, frankly. But I bet it would really keep a person warm. He was a dry cleaner, and altered suits for people. He thought nothing of putting new cuffs on, new zippers in anything, shortening...

What do these basal cell spots look like? I'm amazed that your doc didn't want to start whacking on them immediately.

Jamie, I just finished listening to the interview. You did great, and your accent wouldn't be noticed around my neck of the woods. I loved that you left the hosts speechless several times. Look forward to hearing future interviews. Maybe they will do one of you and Jackie together!

My 6 y/o granddaughter wants to sew on my machine *so bad* but she has a sister who is 18 months younger and is really hyper. I rarely have the older one(A) by herself, and everything A does, H wants to do, has to do, insists on doing. Maybe over the Christmas vacation I can get her by herself...

Dawn, I just now read your comment asking for the link. I'm sorry, I have no idea where I saw it. I think I made my fire cider in October; really can't remember. Can't believe I didn't put a date on it.:( Well, it must be ready about now.

Rhoda, I don't remember where you live, but I do know panthers are getting more numerous in our state (Missouri). Maybe in other states as well. I don't blame you for being scared about it, and for wanting your kids to stick closer to the house. One thing you might do, is get on the net and...

I must say, you are managing to do a lot, even with a debilitating illness. You are to be admired for carrying on. How long were you sick before you got a diagnosis? The biological injections/infusions for Crohn's RA and other immune system diseases are really rough on your body. You could be...

Cornmeal and sugar, for starters.

The "experts" in my area keep warning us that a big earthquake is emminent. I'm not that far from New Madrid. But few people take this very seriously. The main thing I feel really unprepared for is having no water. I want to look into digging a well on our property, but DH keeps putting me off...

Have you looked into selling your sauces and meat rubs online? I'm not sure what legal hoops you have to jump through to sell a food product online, but many people are doing that. It might be much easier than trying to get shelf space at Bigmart. Good luck to you, either way.:thumbsup

Well said, FarmerJamie!

There are independent grocery/produce wholesalers in every city. Finding them may require some "yellow pages" research. Do you have someone to harvest the crops? Surely there are unemployed people nearby who would be happy to work for a few days this close to Christmas. Can you hire independent...
