X2 eta: Hadn't heard anything about March until I read this thread but I can believe it. Rising prices are almost killing me. Hubby got cut on Sunday and blew a lid on my medical-supplies prep ... boy was I not prepared enough. Stocked up today but still need to find a suture kit and topical...

I absolutely LOVE the carrots/tomatoes book. I have a copy but couldn't find it this year (my home is in major upheaval) so I borrowed a copy from the library. Using it to plan my new veggie garden, but soooo disappointed that it doesn't really go into herbs, like soapwort and other unusual...

Oh poo. Just lost an entire posting! Here's to retyping everything! Thanks for the thought. If we asked the kid to journal, he'd consider it as more schoolwork and just get angry. Things to think about. Thanks again. Now ... trying to type what I just spent 20 minutes typing ... had a...

Any hat I can grab on my way out the door! I have a big straw hat but it doesn't cover my neck so I sewed a piece of fabric at the back and crocheted a "strap" to tie it under my chin (we have fierce winds). Sometimes I use a baseball cap (on top of a handkerchief for same reason: sun). I'm...

Can't file yet. I need to call the IRS 1040 helpline to find out what paperwork we need since Hubby's dad (kansas) passed away last year and left a little something for hubby. Estate isn't settled yet, tho... only got partial money. So no clue if we need to get a 1099 from the executor of the...

You better cut that out, young lady. :old "I'm dying" in your thread title? Scare me silly. ARGH! :rant Feel better.

thanks. pink: how long have you had them? do you take meds .. if so, are they under control? see, i hadn't really seen many seizures since his first last april and his second last may. the only ones that continued, that i knew about, were the simple partials. now with the one yesterday...

My life is filled with selling chickens and goats, building new housing, setting up fencing, planning the garden, training the pup, housework, writing, teaching my kid and keeping him safe. But now ... Let me go back to yesterday morning. Early. I'm getting old so was up at 12:45 to visit the...

all the blue tarps i've ever bought (new) have torn when used often. not very dependable. just saying. somepeople bounce from project to chore to computer to chore to running kids somewhere to computer to ... you get the drift. nobody wants to keep hitting "refresh" for every moment of...

good. let's hope she's there when you go!

That was last night. Any contact yet?

Change of plans. Decided adding even one more breed of animal is just too much for our little 2 acres to be sustainable. Pigs won't work. For just meat and "soil turning", it's not worth it. We'd need an additional goat just for the pigs' milk. Buy barley or other grain for them. Space to raise...

So many unscrupulous and stupid people on CL, but that's the same everywhere. Most garage sales are ok tho. Look for sleds this summer there, or try to catch get-rid-of-winter-supplies sales in March. You're talking about the plastic sleds for sledding? We got a couple a few years ago and use...

I hire 3 neighbor teens for handyman work. We're doing so much building, and with my disabilities, aches and pains, I just can't do them by myself, and Hubby works. My teen has no upper body strength. So yesterday, these kids came over and in 6 hours, built a 6x6x4 chicken coop (for our bachelor...

Thank you, Deb. I appreciate your concern. How are you holding up, by the way? Edited to move the other part to my journal thread. I had a mental lapse and forgot where I was! But ... we ARE getting pigs!

I've dreamed of being SS for many years. Hard to figure out how to do it as a single mom on a nanny's pay with a kid and disabilities. Hubby had given it thought too so when we met (online), this was a big part of our discussion for the future. Our families think we're nuts. "You eat eggs from...

Thanks for posting that. I'm not buying one either. I like controlling my own choices, especially with everything we need our herbs and herb-space to do.

I just spent 6 hours yesterday building a new chicken coop and attached 3-sided goat house. I know that pigs are pretty destructive but I'm thinking that by Fall, we'll have a mobile pig pen and a couple of piglets in a fenced half-acre field. Hmmm... bacon. If I could do chicken tractors...

Just saw that but I'd really want to know what seeds are in the bank. Not everything grows everywhere. Didn't see it anywhere. Did you?

I'm upgrading this year too, and even tho excalibur is a bit more expensive than the cheapies from Wally World, they are more heavy duty, fit better on counters or in cabinets, and will last longer. Not sure which one I'll get ... since I dehydrate almost everything, probably the biggest I can...
