    Storing used oil......

    I think a month is the longest that I've let mine sit between frying. I usually have run through 2-3 time uses within 2 months. Of course sometimes I'll use it to fry donuts or fried chicken too. If I use it for chicken then that's it's last use before it goes to the dogs / cats. I'll use an...

    Storing used oil......

    It's shelf stable so you could go either way. I keep mine in a cool, dark cabinet and haven't had any problems :/

    Storing used oil......

    At least 2-3 depending on how dirty it gets. After that I add some of it to the dogs and cats food (little at a time).

    Storing used oil......

    I double strain it through a coffee filter after it cools and then store in mason jars in the cabinet.

    Come on Sufficient Self, lets push for an Animal and Garden section!

    Great discussion! Just a heads up...you don't have to lose categories to gain categories ;) I definitely see the perspective differences between the sites and how a garden/orchard and a livestock sub forum could be beneficial here.

    How about a SHOP section on the forum?

    Thanks. I asked because the suggestion of "making a picnic table" to go in this proposed Shop forum. So the Shop forum proposed would be all about tools and equipment essentially? And y'all would still be using the DIY section for the things that you make with the tools / equipment? As Nifty...

    How about a SHOP section on the forum?

    How would this proposed Shop section be different than the DIY section currently in place?

    How about a SHOP section on the forum?

    Great feedback! My name suggestion was just to make y'all think :) I think that "Shop Equipment & Skills" spells out what the proposed category is nicely. So where is the majority of the current discussion on these topics? In the Everything Else section?

    How about a SHOP section on the forum?

    Ok, then let's flesh it out. Here's some questions to help you convince Nifty of the idea. What specific types of discussions should go in this section? What are some ideas for potential names for the category? Shop by itself could be confused with store, so it would probably need to be...

    What are you doing with leftover turkey?

    I took 1/2 yellow onion and cooked in a little olive oil until tender. Added a little garlic. In went about 2 cups of chopped up breast meat, then a can of drained corn, then the left over noodles and gravy, finally about a cup of potato chunks. A little salt, a generous amount of ground...

    Sufficient Self Forum - Let's have a heart-to-heart

    No journal was deleted. If a member who left (of their own accord and stated so publicly) and returns and had their journal moved from the forum because it contained drama wants to have the drama removed and it put back then all they have to do is PM a staff member. I believe that this was...

    How many writers do we have here?

    Yeah I watched a story on J.K. Rowling. And in order to get published she had to hide the fact that she was a woman. That is just absolutely crazy!

    How many writers do we have here?

    If it comes to that I'll self publish. There are plenty companies that will allow you to send your work to them and they publish it for you and then it's up to you to market it and sell it. I know exactly what I want for each page and since I've hired (now 2) illustrators to get the job done...

    How many writers do we have here?

    Not published yet. In the process of getting illustrations done right now. Getting published can be difficult. I wrote the books as a gift for my boys and nephews for whom the stories derived their inspiration. And then had others ask for copies when they're published. I can't illustrate...

    How many writers do we have here?

    Not the novels that it sounds like you guys do. I write children's early readers.

    How about a SHOP section on the forum?

    I moved this into the News, Information and Feedback forum where it will get more visibility by staff of your suggestion.

    Sufficient Self Forum - Let's have a heart-to-heart

    The only way to get rid of the drama dragon is to stop feeding it. The pure fact that Nifty had to start a thread such as this shows that the drama dragon is being fed. I say starve that dragon.
