    MAKING $ FROM CHICKENS, GOATS AND GARDEN

    Alot of states dont allow meat or milk to sell for human consumtion, without a permit and inspection. But in most states there is a way around that, sell for "animal use only". And what the people do with it after they get home is up to them.

    USA Gas Map

    That is true. But the thought of over 50 miles per gallon seem nice. But only if you can afford the car to start with. We only buy our cars with cash. So I ended up getting a car that many people get up to 40 mile per gallon on the freeway..Depends on your driving habits also. I havent tested...

    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

    This has happened to me. We go to the dollar store or craft store and buy the sparkly pipe cleaners they use in crafts.
