It kills me what people throw out, when they could give it away. My DH tried to throw out his mom's silver sugar/creamer set, but I went out digging in the trash after I discovered he'd gone on a cleaning rampage, and rescued them. He's also thrown out his grandmother's jewelry.

Beekeeping, crochet, small engine repair, making herbal remedies (BTW, Abi, we've used your cold remedy with turmeric & milk a couple of times, and it really helped!).
