Decutttering my heart = not holding back with the things I want to do in life. I always am thinking about something fun to try, something to learn, something to experience for the first time. I always seem to get caught up in this and that....meaning I am the peacemaker at home, for my...

Well all, after a weekend of crappiness, I am back. I just loved the muffin. I think we would have to take a chainsaw to that bad boy to cut it up!! I think I said it before, I have officially named the month Craptober. The going just seems to be getting rougher and rougher. Do you ever...

BRAVO yet again!! Every time I seem to log on here, SKR8PN has written yet another wonderful, informative, well thought out piece of literature for us. What a pleasure to read :) I cannot add another thing to that....it was just too fabulous!! Well, except to say that I very much agree that...

Political topics....always cause ripples....but I enjoy it none the less because at least we still have the freedom of speech. God Bless America!! I myself am alittle puzzled about the whole Nobel Peace prize thing. 12 days in office and POOF!! I do like the president and think he is a man...

I once saw a news segmant that a standard box from the cable company if turned off (standby) by the remote, will still cost $3.50/mo. So I did a test. We took part in a pilot program measuring the electricity we use and letting the power company turn our ac thermostat up on days that normally...

Hi :P I just discovered this wonderful website the other day and am so interested in it. I have now posted a new topic (with many replies), and commented on a few by others. What an awesome place to be!! Well, I thought since I am home sick today, I would work on setting up my journal for a...

And what a gracious host you are here on your front porch :) Thank you so much for the words of encouragement this morning. I know people say that you can't get to know someone over the internet (well, dating sites say it anyway) but the kindness and compassion you send even through typed words...

I fully back up post #10 with the olive oil thing. I don't suffer from stones, just it becoming agitated and sure enough, a cup of olive oil and a few hours rest (I do it at night) and problems are totally resolved by the morning. I try now to maintain with a daily regimine of olive oil, eith...

I am new to SS but stumbled upon your "Front Porch" this evening. I have been reading most of this and felt like I had to respond. You do not know me (being so new) but hopefully in the future that will change. I read or at least skimmed through most of the 171 pages that so far make up the...

I thought hoarding was only bad with cats?!?! Now food, oh boy!! If you are not selling it to starved countries for crazy high prices. And if your home is hygenic (I mean cleaned on a regular basis and you don't have to swat the roaches out of your recliner first to sit down) then why not...

Okay, a few things that have failed to be mentioned that I have encountered as snags.... #1 - the Salvation Army (in my area of Virginia) has stopped accepting used toys. I hope this is because the Toys for Tots program is really doing that well. So I drove around for half the day trying to...

Okay, I am VERY new to this site but spent most of last night hooked on all the great topics. This one in particular caught my eye and thought I had to contribute. I hope some of this info is useful.... First, I know nothing about electricity but upon looking through some content, I feel that...

Oh my goodness, so many super responses in so little time!! Thank you all so much!! I am so addicted to this site now. The information gathered in 16 hours is incredible!! I am curious about the pressure canning vs. water bathing. I assume that means machine vs. boiling. Am I correct...
