How do you know when it is ready to be picked? How do you store it? I think I may have a boat load.

Just over 3 weeks ago we picked up a foster greyhound, Miriam of Ruckus. When we got home with her, our tripod kitty, Casey, immediately began grooming her, licking her ears and chewing on her. I guess she is truly a cat-safe greyhound:) Dixie had a very calm and happy look on her face. I...

My sister just called. Her boyfriend was ready to call 911 yesterday for his mom because she is so distraught causing her to have seizures. Yesterday morning her pug/english bulldog mix was sleeping in the closet, which he never does. He normally sleeps in the bed with her. He was having...

Do any of you have Hughesnet satellite internet? If so, what has your experience been? I have hardly been on today and I looked at my download allowance and it is telling me that I have exceeded my limit. I have been having router problems. I don't know if there is a connection with that...

I am not sure if is the right place to post this question. If it needs to go somewhere else, please let me know. My sister is setting up an account on Etsy to sell her hand-engraved glass (jars, vases, etc). She finally has her banner (I guess she had some problems with it) done. She is...

Yesterday before we went out, I noticed a turkey in the front yard. Roy looked and didn't say Holy Turkeys! He said something else. There were about 50 turkeys coming out of the woods straight for the house and bird feeder. They just kept coming and coming.... And this is the...

I know I saw a recipe for a homemade lotion bar somewhere here. Not a liquid lotion. I did a search and all I came up with was someone mentioning that they knew someone who made lotion bars. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks, Annette

I haven't heard about it and I don't see it on the internet, but I do know that incandescent bulbs will be phased out by 2012. My sil thought she heard that they also would not be able to be used in private households. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Annette
