    For REAL!??????

    Did anyone tell you what religion to believe in? Because I sure did not. And I hate to tell everyone here but the contitution does not seperate the Church & State(gov't), all it says is that the state can not make laws regarding religion. If you go to Washiington & look at every single...

    Raising livestock a bit more naturally...

    Pigs also use mud as a sunscreen to protect them from getting sunburned. Their skin is actually very delicate & burns quickly & easily. And they use mud in the winter to keep themselves warm too. Pigs are actually the smartest farm animals there are. Durocs have to be especially careful as...

    Cut in pay = cut in expenditures

    I usually save the left over taco meat(I just use salt & pepper to season it) for spaghetti sauce use. I have a few bags of it in the freezer. Then the spaghetti goes farther as it is more filling. I usually use the extra roast for stew or BBQ sandwiches. But that is a great idea about the...

    For REAL!??????

    For REAL!??????

    No you do not have to be stupid to have your guns stolen. You have to have someone stupid break your window in the back of the house, be boosted thru it & open the sliding glass door to let everyone else in. Then they ransack your house & find your guns, ammo, silver coins & even take your...

    Television

    Funny thing is a few yrs ago it was not a problem when we would go to our property up north(no elec, no reception), no TV wasn't a problem, we played cards, yahtzee & other board games every night. Now we have to take the little tv/dvd player with us(although it comes in handy for the trip...
