LOL! that's easy ! Sea level . I live in the SC Lowcountry. :cool: Thanks Everyone. This is absolutely the best forum with the most generous people! At least one of my daughters is also interested in canning so this is a big help.

Veggies and fruits. Maybe some soups and stews,spaghetti sauce.

As usual ,there are too many choices for me :P Pressure cooker/canner? Ball complete set? Set with a blancher? Please share your favorite,can't do without,canning equipment. My dad was a compulsive canner,but he's gone now . I really think it's a necessary skill these days and want to make...

It makes me wish I was a hat person!

The flip side are the families whose incomes come from people buying new cars,homes and ,yes,even pools. Small businesses are collapsing because no one is buying. It's a catch 22.

Sometimes I still feel like that teenager who never felt good enough.......I'm a LOT older now and starting to get it.You really started me thinking with your closet makeover. It's a lifestyle change. A thought process about what we are and who we are. This is amazing stuff ! Thank you.

Wow! This should be a sticky post. Full of wisdom we can all put to use. I have all those in my closet and drawers,and more. I tend to dress sloppy, but have a job in DC that I have to dress like a professional a few days a month.. I never feel good enough so I keep buying things that I hope...

I' so glad you told us about getting rid of the shelves. I have that dilemma in my bedroom and just realized I should do the same thing. Thanks for the idea! So, what are going to wear now??????? LOL

. This is a Win Win situation ! Do not feel guilty or selfish !!!! Everyone is looking for a bargain. Why shouldn't you resell what you paid good money for? Just do 10 or 15 minutes a day working through your piles. Add a bag of clothes to the laundry each week and have a box or container by...

That's exactly what one of the hoarders said on TLC's show last week (rerun) . Going through the piles ,and rediscovering items was like getting a present all over again ! I can so see myself in some of those people. My dad,too. Watching shows like Clean House and the hoarding shows on TLC (I...

Thanks for posting this on the weekend !!!! Lots of late night reading...........:)

If you enjoy kids, families are always looking for good childcare. Pet sitting or pet checks may catch on. I hate taking my dogs to a kennel. I'd rather they stay home and have someone check on them and feed them each day. Caring for farm animals when people leave town or have a medical...

He looks like a big ole batch of awsomeness!!!!

DANG! you are quick! Pictures?

I haven't started yet,but I'd love a good one made with olive oil. I have Rosecea and it's getting worse. : ( One of my nubians is still nursing ,so I may be able to get some fresh milk from her,also. Any ideas or recipes?

I could eat boiled peanuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As the mom of seven ,I'd suggest including toys and games. Simple handmade toys are still irrisistable to kids and adults,alike. Pop guns,potato shooters and slingshots are still loved by boys. Handmede cloth dolls,tic,tac,toe boards...

My husband ripped an almost new button down shirt a few days ago. Now I can use the fabric for the cuff at the top of the pllowcase instead of throwing it away.

We thought we would be able to sell the house I recently inherited and pay off our own mortgage, with money left over for the retirement fund. Now it's no longer worth nearly as much , even if we could find someone to buy it ! My parents have not been able to live there for some time. The...

I would add two inches for seams to the actual size of whatever pillow you are cutting for. Maybe more if it's really fat! I'd rather take it in more and waste an inch of materiel,than cut it too small .

I'm thinking of making special ones for the grandkids,but what a great project for kids learning to sew!
