Uranus turns direct in about 10 days - any other astrologers on here?

Well I didn't get my rott's hole next to the greenhouse filled in, but I did get the tires moved from the mazda to the ford, between one of my helpers pulling all 4 tires, (the oldest are 8 months old, 2 of them didn't have 3000 miles on them); then the tire store I got them from remounted them...

Tomorrow will be better. i had an emergency root canal without anesthesia once, and it felt better within 5 minutes. (I had spent the night before feeling my exploding nerve rather too much.)

when you are ready, visit www.beesource.com. Good people, good info. But remember beekeepers never agree on anything!

My dogs are spoiled. My rott wouldn't comprehend sleeping in a dog house, he sleeps in his crate in my office. And since he chewed up his blanket, again, he hasn't got a dog bed, but it isn't freezing in here. All of the dogs are gated out in the main yard this morning though, so he doesn't do...

Well I went to work today, with most of my tools transferred to my daughter's truck.. Tonight my rott dug through my guard that was supposed to keep rodents and possums out of the green house where my pullets are living, and darn near got into the greenhouse. He is in big trouble. The dogs are...

oops, hijack. :pop

I started bringing home bags of leaves from the curb for my compost back in the 1990's at my old house. I don't know much about animal husbandry, being mainly a dog, cat and fish person. One day I will probably have to learn to butcher some hens in the next year or so, if the cost of feed...

I just learned to get my parlor stove to cook properly yesterday. I thought I would need a damper to hold more heat in the stove, but I learned if I closed the stove draft vents down somewhat, the stove heated up better, I believe I'm using less wood, and getting more heat to boot. (Because it...

I'm working on a cookbook for my kids and grandkids and nieces and nephews. I spent more time with my Grandmother than my sisters did. Granted the great cookbook project hasn't had much added in 2011, but a few of the recipes (from scratch) are in circulation. And all of my girls know how to...

I drive all over Dallas-Fort Worth on business. And my old chevy is far from properly restored, it is just mechanically functional. Gets a little more rust each year. Sadly. I want a truck cover for Christmas to slow down the rust attacks (although the drought helped). Figure I'll have to buy...

:thumbsup Great idea. This would be why I have boxes of how - to books in print, can be read by sunlight or candlelight.

I am an old truck sort of gal. I own a 1975 chevy silverado - needs an engine (again - lotsa bad work done on the one I just threw a rod in) My1986 mazda just got totaled - see my diary thread for a pic. One of my daughters (mother of 2 grandkids) had just replaced her 1986 ranger with a newer...

The truck driver slowed down, then hit the gas, or so I am told. I was a bit busy spinning. I never saw the semi, and only saw the first vehicle that hit me, the small black car the semi hit was flung into my right front, just behind the headlight, which started my spin. Traffic was heavy...

No, not my first grandchild. Her sisters have been busy. Although genetically she shares genes with my 7 and 11 year old grandchildren, who spent last weekend with me. (My oldest 2 girls are identical twins). And my youngest daughter has an 18 month old little girl. In replacing my little...

I use passive solar to heat my house on sunny winter days. Total equipment: Curtains - close them at night and run the wood stove, open them in the morning as soon as the temp between window and curtain is warmer than room temp. My house has large south facing windows, it was about 64 in the...

I am proud to announce that my bull-headed daughter, whose room was 3 ft deep and I had to pull the black hole cleanup on, who I was quite sure would not live to 18, is now 28. And in about 2.5 weeks she will graduate college with a masters degree. Except for my providing my income data for...

I used to declare my teenagers floors black holes. Actually only one daughter, and only once. Everything on the floor went in a big black bag. The only things not thrown out were school text books. Which means she had to explain to her friends that their clothes were gone forever. And I do mean...

I need to learn to sharpen my scissors and chainsaw. Actual real small engine repair would be good. (I'm pretty fair with B12 chemtool and a spark plug now and then, and oil changes and checking)

Complicated hobby that engages your brain: beekeeping, but clear your schedule for several months first. Smocking for OP: hard but doable. Get some cotton fabric, scrap, to practice on. mark evenly spaced dots (you remember playing dots in school right - where you make squares and put your...
