Taking advantage of the fact I'm feeling pretty good right now, I decided to make a big pot of soup last night. I made potato-bacon, one of my favorites. It turned out okay, tastes great, but it's not nearly as thick or creamy as I'd like. How do other folks thicken their cream soups?

A few weeks ago, I bought a box of mixed young chickens at a local auction. 3 were standard size and the rest were bantams, so I separated the 3 bigger ones. They are now almost as big as my laying hens and are very crowded in the only cage I have available. I want to move them in with my...

I am in complete shock and totally devastated. I just found out that a lady I know from a Canadian chicken forum was found murdered in her home earlier this week. The "alleged perpertrators" are two 14 year old boys who escaped from a youth correction facility and went on a random killing...

After talking with my surgeon, I was beginning to think I was going to get away with just the mastectomy, but it looks now like that was wishful thinking. I got a call from the cancer clinic. The oncologist who treated me last time wants to see me and the nurse said he'd ordered some tests. I...

Believe it or not, I'm home already. Had the surgery at 8:00 Thursday morning and the doctor released me this morning. I feel not too bad, considering. I still have a drain in place and I have to monitor and record the output from that till Tues. morning and if it has dried up enough by then...

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for the kind words, prayers and thoughts. The results are in and, yes, it's malignant, but it's not the end of the world. I do have to have a mastectomy, but I was pretty much expecting that. It may sound like a horrendous thing to be facing, and I don't mean to...

I have an appointment this afternoon to find out the results of my biopsy. Please say a quick prayer if you have a moment. Thanks.

You know the old saying, "expect the best but plan for the worst"? While I'm playing the waiting game for the test results, the only thing I can do to keep from going insane is plan. I need ideas on how to make the farm chores as easy and efficient as I can, so I can do as much as possible by...

It looks like I might be about to start round two against the nasty dragon called breast cancer. Two years ago, almost to the day, I was diagnosed with BC and underwent a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. The treatment took a total of about 5 1/2 months, and I spent the next year or so...

Our winters in Saskatchewan are long and very cold (-40 or even lower). One of the biggest drains on the electricity is the de-icers we need to keep open water in front of the goats. I'm also planning to start raising chickens and need to keep them warm and watered. Anyone have any good ideas...

Hello everyone. I just joined and thought I should introduce myself. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and have raised Boer goats for about 9 years. We moved to Sask. from BC a few years ago and now that we have the land base, I'm working at becoming more self sufficient. We raised a few meat...
