    My first attempt at making my own bread :(

    You beat me to it! This is absolutely correct. And if the yeast didn't do what it was suppossed to, it may still rise, but not be as open and airy. So it would be more heavy and rubbery. When I make bread by hand I do as described above for the yeast. When using the bread machine, the order...

    Scrounge any good things lately? I did!

    My boss had an older photo copier that still works fine sitting out back. Has a new cartridge and everything. I asked. He said, "go ahead and take it." So there you go. Easy as that!

    Working for salary vs hourly?

    I work salary and have for a few years now. I have in the past 28 years off an on as well. It used to be a benefit back in the day. If you were an efficient worker and you could get your work done acurratly and quickly, you could then go home before your 40 hrs, etc. However, in the past...

    Had it with my bank! What are some alternatives?

    If you have an account with USAA which it sounds like you may be able to do. You can take a picture of a check with your phone or scan it and email it into your account. So if you have cash, your hubby can deposit it into his account and then write you a check and put it into your account that...

    how much for your farm eggs?

    I have seriously turned into an "egg snob." We had a local restraunt bring us a complimentary breakfast of some egg scramble. I took one look at the pale eggs and said, "no thanks." They were not even appealing in the least bit. Even if I didn't have chickens of my own, I would pay someone...

    metal coat hangers

    You can use them to hang bird feeders. You can use them to bundle things; one on each end, twist to tighten and then hang from the hooks. I am thinking storage for garden hoses that normally end up in a tangled mess.

    how much for your farm eggs?

    I only have 2 customers. They pay $3.00 per dozen, mixed size/color. The first customer happily set the price and the 2nd customer happily followed along.

    Had it with my bank! What are some alternatives?

    I too would maybe check out a local credit union. We are mostly cash based, but once a month put money in to pay bills that have to be electronically paid or a check written out. We use a credit union and I "would not" use a financial institution that had fees for anything other than a bounced...

    Is it financially worth it to buy a meat grinder

    We purchased a very nice meat grinder two years ago from Cabelas. Normally $599.00, but it was on sale, we had some Cabelas points and a coupon. I believe it ended up being about $299.00. Still a lot of money, but we also grind between 4-10 deer each year for ourselves and friends and have...

    Have any of you ever been asked to take control of someone's finances?

    Agreed! The principals of Financial Peace University was a blessing that was shared with us through another couple. We have gone from making a lot of money and not being able to pay our bills, to making a lot less - having the same bills, prices being higher and actually being able to pay our...

    IRS Refund??

    Nope! We like our money when we earn it and decide to do what with it then. But I hope that your refund is a nice one and that you are able to do all that you are hoping for with it. I'm sure it is very nice when you see the check come in the mail, or the deposit go into the account! Yipee!

    What did you do to MAKE money today?

    That is a great set up! I definately understand about trusting that the new hens are all healthy. You just never know and I for one would hate for your current healthy, profitable flock, to be endangered in any way. That would stink! Sounds like you have a great business going. If you think...

    Well my SS family.....

    Congratulations and Amen to the above words. Running water would be helpful for sure. Shelter, food, clothing and love are all a baby needs. Same with us really. :D But the shelter, food and clothing don't have to be the brand new latest and greatest. The baby doesn't know or doesn't care!

    What did you do to MAKE money today?

    Wow what a great score! Do you have a space to keep them separated from your current flock for 30 days to make sure that they are healthy? Sounds like you have a great egg business going on there! :)

    Re-purposed ......

    I just had my boss and another lady bring in 5 egg cartons today. The lady buys eggs from me, my boss does not. (But when I give them to him free, he gladly accepts! :lol: ) I did notice that he also brought in a case of empty beer bottles to a guy here that brews. My boss is not on a tight...
