So I'm starting a Gallon jug of homemade vanilla for Christmas presents this year and after my soap making class I'll be all set for Christmas presents. Whatcha gonna do for Christmas this year?

There's a lady down the road offering goat milk soap and goat cheese lessons-she's charging 75 bucks for each day of training and she gives you your own starter kit whatever that might entail AND of course she just HAPPENS to have milk goats for sale-talk about your win-win! But as cynical as I...

Here's a link to get a free sample of clear jel. Clear jel is the thickener to use when canning Cream of Something soups so you don't have to use flour. It's hard to find and you usually have to end up going through an online source to get it which is scary if you've never used it and don't...

They've received our paperwork and we're fixin' to offically re-open the doors as a foster home for sick infants. Scared but excited. Still need to get some baby clothes and STUFF gathered up when I get a little money ahead but we'll figure it out, we always do.

One of our adopted sons has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and he gets really OCD about some stuff from time to time. Just worries or obsesses about something until you think YOU'RE going crazy. Like right now, he wants a ventriloquist doll and he's just nuts worrying about whether he'll be able to...

Okay, this may not seem like a huge achievement but I had my surgery December 21st and between complications requiring more hospitalization and complications that require a nurse to come here and feed me by tube I STILL haven't been able to do any of my usual housewifely duties. This is very...

Five years ago I nearly died after I got a strep/staph infection in my back surgical site. They debrided me and put me a couple months of IV antibiotics but it was touch and go for quite awhile. Now I have this surgery on my stomach. One of the first things I ask the doctor is if it's possible...

Well kids, I'm going to have to leave for awhile. I have surgery on Monday and the next few days are going to be very busy getting things ready for the family to eat while I'm gone and recuperating. I probably won't be home for Christmas and the surgery has big ol' long list of complications...

Just an anecdotal observation: I've been taking an extra vitamin D tablet for a few months now. I also take an anti-depressant. Last week I was having some stomach trouble (stress ulcers) so I cut out all the multi-vitamin and the vitamin D, just didn't think I could keep them down but I...

So, I'm on an antibiotic from the dentist and I'm sitting here wondering y'know those antibiotics they sell at the feed store for animals? Can those be used safely on humans if there was an emergency?

Dixie, my pretty, tiny leopard appy gave birth to her baby last night even though she showed NO signs of even being close last night. The stud is a Friesian/Paint cross but baby girl gets her coloring from Grandma Appy who was a sorrel blanket app. She does seem to have the typical Friesian...

Lookee here!! This is a great resource for anyone looking into home food preservation and they even offer an online canning course! I didn't check to see how much the course costs but this could be a great thing for people who aren't sure how to do this yet. http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/

So yeah, I got this dry spot on my belly. No rash, no flaky, no redness, just a slight difference in texture like the skin is tougher there (which it could be because I scratch it like a madman) and a LOT of itching. Tried more moisturizer after showers and bath. Tried cortisone ointment...
