    Mysterious lurkers on the SS forum

    I posted often (for me anyway) when I first joined. Then there was a change in the "atmosphere" that made me go back to lurking, as I come online to relax, learn and peruse things that I want to learn. I've learned a lot from my online experience, but when it comes to this forum in particular...

    Hello everyone - I'm bursting

    Many moved to a new neighborhood over more than a policy issue, but that is beside the point I suppose. I am glad to hear you are recovering from your stroke, it takes a bit of work and will, but is totally doable ... keep at it and you'll be back to your old self before ya know it!

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

    I have to second that. Although I must say that reading his post made me think "wow, do I really want to be part of something that would even delete a journal???" I'm still trying to decide the answer to that question. If you expect everybody to be politically correct to everybody else, to...

    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

    I had a yellow lab (think Marly & Me x 10) who got into and ate EVERYTHING. Got so bad when I called the vet and said "this is ...." they instantly replied "what did Simba eat now"? Things off a Christmas tree that Simba adored? Anything glass would be gently taken off the tree and...

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

    Quite honestly, after all of this, I basically lurk the boards. I had a few pictures I was going to submit to POW, but find myself hesitant to do so because of this reason or that. In my last "evaluation" my boss said the only thing she wanted me to work on was my "tact". My reply was I...

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

    The summary you posted is pretty much what I expected. From my understanding, the bulk of the "issues" went on behind the scenes, in PMs, etc. I think this thread is a good one, showing that you are open to discussion and want everybody really know what is going on (although truly nobody will...

    Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

    Yes send it this way!!! I am just watching my ponds dry out totally. The smallest pond has MAYBE two feet of water in it. The "big" ponds, are just looking horrible. The one with the dock has about one inch lower to go before the dock is no longer in water :hit

    What's the price of turkeys in your area?

    Mine cost the time for my BF to "process" them. Two turkeys ... largest one 27 lbs, smallest one 25 lbs ... and we're having nobody over for Thanksgiving, so I'm thinking we're gong to have a LOT of turkey to freeze after cooking one and freezing the other!

    'Tis the season (coming up) ... time to make those ornaments!

    'Tis the season (coming up) ... time to make those ornaments!

    Oh the house will smell just absolutely heavenly! And THEN the best part, is when they're out on the counter, or hanging on the tree, the smell just wafts through the air, light as a feather, making you just stop and smile when you walk into the room...

    'Tis the season (coming up) ... time to make those ornaments!

    In my journal there was an interest in some of the ornaments I make and I thought it might be good to post them here, in case anybody would be looking to make christmas ornaments for the upcoming holiday season. 1. The applesauce/cinnamon ornaments are my absolute favorite because they smell...

    Going a bit nuts---

    We got rid of TV altogether. We belong to Netflix and have a que, but really we don't watch all that much TV so for us Netflix was cheaper and can be used to watch stuff instantly on the internet, so TV lost ... We've changed car insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, combined cell phone...

    If you could..........

    If I could change this farm to my "heart's desire" I would split one of my fields in half and goat fence it, getting a small herd of goats with their own "goat sized" barn, pond, jungle gyms, etc. Molly Moo Moo would have the other half of the field, and I would probably add another 2 heifers...

    Low cost High Speed internet for low income families

    I have no problem providing for those who have less than I. Although, I can't say that would extend to internet service. Would I give them food, shelter if needed, clothes, without a doubt. Internet, not so much. I can't afford to have TV at my house. Plain and simple can't afford it. It...

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    I don't envy you having a teenage girl, I barely survived. My DD started the "drama queen" at 10 and then when he father died at 13 OMG that gave her license to have a meltdown at every single little thing ... and at first, that's fine. Then a year later, when the psychologist told me flat out...

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    My daughter lost her dad at 13 and trust me she "worked" that! From age 13 through well their 20s :th they are drama queens, nothing more, nothing less. And it's like a light switch, perfectly fine talking with you and then you look at them wrong, the moon lines up with venus, a fly lands on...
