Does anyone have any tips you can share for tactile/kinesthetic learners? My son is definitely in this category. I am glad that we are homeschooling cause he would be labeled as ADHD for sure. He just has to move around and use his hands to "get stuff" even when I'm reading out loud to him he...

Does anyone have any experience with it? My husband just got me a Taurus .357 magnum for our 10th wedding anniversary, I'm not a jewelry kinda gal :P, and I am thinking I may take it deer hunting. I have never hunted deer with a handgun before. I usually hunt with a 30.06 and am used to...

I thought it would be a cool idea for those of us that quilt, or sew for that matter, to show pictures of our finished projects. Sometimes I get so much inspiration for my next project just from seeing what someone else has done. I can't tell you how many times i have googled "quilts, pictures"...

I decided to put this thread here instead of the journal section because I really wanted everyone to contribute. Here is my story--after moving to a new property and planting lots of fruit trees, almond trees, and berry bushes we decided to get some bee hives to help with the pollination and...

Hey guys, we are trying to figure out where to put the bees so they have good morning sun but the best spot is right out in the open. We need to construct some sort of windbreak that is like 4-6ft tall but hubby doesn't want evergreen trees or a fence cause it is right in the middle of the...

The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of math disruption. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery. A dog...

So now that I have gotten the hang of GF I am ready to dive back into breadmaking. I have a bread machine but I am looking for good GF bread recipes that I could do in the bread machine or knead in the dough cycle and then finish in the oven. I just need one loaf at a time because I'm here all...
