Thanks for the info and support Karen. Yes, I agree, cancel as needed. DH comes up with ALL kind of things then changes his mind. DD told me to tell him to stop being such a girl! He changes his mind more than anyone I know. The only thing I really worry about is meds. We can always use our NRA...

DH told me last night that he is cancelling our insurance. So by cancelling we will be getting another $1000 a month. Right now construction is so slow, he has only been working 2-3 days a week for the last 2 1/2 months. With me not working, it is making it hard to keep our ranch. He also is...

Pam- here is a website with instructions.I haven't ever made them but have wanted to for years, just keep forgetting about it until it's too late. http://www.oldenglishcrackers.com/make-your-own-crackers.htm Monica

We use hawk rodent block for killing. For deterent we use dryer sheets! I read that they hate the smell and stay away from areas with them. So I went around and put dryer sheets everywhere they liked to go. Now and then I still find the poison nibbled on, but for the most part I find NO evidence...

Someone elses would be very gross! Like bee, I have gotten cold sores since I was a teen. Usually when greatly stressed or change of weather(going from beach weather to desert, low alt. to high, cool, to hot,etc). I don't get them as often now, but deffinitely will try this next time! My oldest...

We got ours at our neighbors yardsale, 10cents!!!! DH has smoked many things, our favorite is lobster tail, I haven't ever had any better!! Since we moved up to the mts. we haven't used it, I miss it ! It makes a mess from drips so we can't put it on our deck with our bbq. We can't put it out on...

silkie- I like the flower pot one, it would be perfect to take camping! DhH was just talking to me about making a smoker for curing the paint when painting gun stocks. He can't use our small food smoker and we really don't want to use the oven. Thanks for the links, saved me time. Monica

I love borax for cleaning my stove and anything greasy. I don't even have to scrub. Otherwise I use baking soda, vinegar and HOT water. I am trying to use up my ammonia and I do keep bleach on hand as we have a bthroom that get mold on the ceiling now and then. I zap it with bleach and it's...

When we were remodeling our house to sell in 05, we had considered at first to move. I did lots of research into the states we thought that we would like to move to. We REALLY HATE CA! It is 'The No Fun State' anything that is fun is illegal. We finally decided to stay because all of our parents...

Farmer chick- Thus one MORE difference between N.C. and CA! Or should I put, One more difference between CA and the rest of the country! Monica

etr-I wholly agree!!:gig Last spring We were getting firewood, DH was cutting rounds from a HUGE downed tree. They were about 2' across and about 175lbs. DGD and I roll them across the road and up into the trailer. My hand slipped and stupid me tried to stop it from rolling back! I sqished my...

We have good insurance through DH's work. But for a family plan we pay $475 a month and work picks up the rest. We sure could use that $475 though! We were sooo glad we had good insurance when I busted my ankle in '06!Shattered both bones, have screws and plates in now. $54,000!!!! We paid...

We lived two blocks from the beach in CA for 10 yrs. (I lived ther much longer). We got full guardianship of our 7yr. old granddaughter. We lived in a nice neighborhood, but the gangs were starting to incroach. We started remodeling our house to sell right at the top of the escalating selling...

I was making dinner the other night. I measured out rice and proceeded with dinner. I went to get the grater out of the cabinet and found that I had put the rice in there instead of in the pantry! I feel sooo dumb when I can't remember what I'm saying after I start. I'm glad I'm not the only...

Acre-I JUST saw those, they were sooo cute! I am going to make some too! ETR-When I was a teenager, I used a 2 litre bottle to make a terrarium, it worked very well. I would assume that using the soda/water bottles for seedlings would work. captchris- How do you keep the critters out of your...

Thank you, that sounds good. Monica

Does anyone have a good cooked eggnog recipe? I have always wanted to try making my own and have heard that it is sooo much better than store bought. Monica

We don't drink soda so I don't have soda bottles often. But I LOVE the mini-blind idea!! Monica

DGD and I used our snowshoes to walk back and forth to the school bus stop last year. We use them around the ranch also. Last year we couldn't walk without them. Monica

homestead- I hear you there. DH wanted to 'take care of him' years ago, but DD 'loved' him. As much as I have wanted things like that for certain people that deserve it, I am a firm believer in karma. I try very hard to keep my karma clean, sometimes it is very hard. Especially when you do all...
