    Money vent

    I think that you may be feeling overwhelmed and impatient. You seem to be a young lady just starting out. You don't have to feel like it will always be this way. From the website it appears that you and your boyfriend have everything under control on the ranch. Everything is clean and the...

    Anyone ever use salmon berries?

    I used to live where there were lots of salmon berries. They look like large rasberries. I loved them to bits. I made jam and pie with them. You gotta remember that they are mostly water though or your pies get runnier than you may like. You're one lucky girl.

    New here and needing mucho advice

    First of all...Welcome. If I were in your shoes I might consider moving away from the city to another state even. If you can handle Chicago winters you can handle anywhere. Get your truck fixed or even sell it and move to a little town in one of the midwestern state like North Dakota, where...

    log splitters?

    I know you don't like electric but i love mine, just place the wood in there and pull the lever, done, on to the next log. It's way quieter than the gas powered ones as well. You can get a good one for around 300 dollars and they last forever.

    The mentality of some people!

    I seriously think you might have to seperate your expenses. Don't you think that since he is in debt now and sees nothing wrong with it he will continue to buy things on credit as long as they allow him to? He sounds like a nice guy and a lot of fun. Nothing wrong with that. But as an...

    Natural fever reducer?

    People thought I was cruel but I let my kids have a fever all day and just treated it at night so they could sleep. I learned that they bounced back faster by letting the fever take care of whatever virus it was. Just my opinion.

    I got the Barefoot Beekeeper book....

    You can order books through the book exchange program at the library, just ask the librarian again and she can help. It's a free program and the other public libraries use this to share books between them. There wasn't a charge when I was using the system 15 years ago. Good Luck.

    An expensive mistake, and a request for recommendations

    Shred that debit card and any other household member's cards. My bank charges 23 dollars for each overdraft and six dollars a day after so many days. Banks make their money off you by letting you go over. If you have to go over then write a check for an amount that will get you through til...

    Obama will be speaking to all the school children of America this week

    Well, we all have our political opinions. What I'm concerned with is that the media threw this out there for the right and the left to chew on and they fell for it. Fighting over this issue for the past two weeks...it's a shame people don't realize what's going on here. The media runs this...
