    Does anyone know the Inuit or Native Alaskan name for "Big Dog/s"?

    Does anyone know the Inuit or Native Alaskan name for "Big Dog/s"? I know this is probably a little off topic, BUT my hubby swears he heard the word before and he really liked it. We are starting up our kennel and trying to remember this name to incorporate into the name of our kennel and...

    How is homeschooling self sufficient?

    You were very blessed to have all 5 of your babies for sure. I'm glad you were able to show the doctors. I really get touchy about this subject. I hear people trash the duggar family for having 18 kids. While I don't think my body could personally handle that many, she obviously can. They are...

    How is homeschooling self sufficient?

    You took the words right out of my mouth!! Oh and by the way we found out when we visited Australia, people make comments there too. One of them was "do you guys own a tv?" (Like we had nothing better to do other than make babies) It took me a minute to figure that one out and when I did I was...

    How is homeschooling self sufficient?

    You know I love to respond to those comments about "are they all yours"... with "no I just picked them all up on the way here"...Some people are so stupid!! My older two kids are actually my step children. Their mother has nothing to do with them and we have had sole custody for over 4 years...

    How is homeschooling self sufficient?

    I stay pretty busy escept at the moment due to an injured ankle which has me on crutches. I actually was an only child growing up and always wanted a big family. I got my wish. What I hate is when we go out people look at us in a negative way and I get some of the most rediculous questions asked...

    How is homeschooling self sufficient?

    I love homschooling my kids. We can incorporate teachings from the bible as well which they won't get in public school. Hey and let's be completely honest....at least at home we don't have to worry about some lunatic shooting/stabbing our kids. They are home safe and sound. They get a wonderful...

    Can you live without paper towels?

    This is so funny, my DH and I have been debating this exact thing. He says we don't need them, that they are a waste of money (and he's the one that works). When we were really poor years ago I never had the luxury of them, so I know I can live without them because we have before. Now I get them...

    Very Cool ECO-FRIENDLY house!!!

    You do know it's a regular size house right??? I think they are awesome and much healthier for our families than the new modern "toxic" homes of today.

    Very Cool ECO-FRIENDLY house!!!

    I first thought about the hobbit houses in Lord of the Rings, but they are very real, cheap and very eco friendly. How cool.

    Very Cool ECO-FRIENDLY house!!!

    My DH found these a few months ago and I thought the folks here might enjoy them, too. The first house is truly an eco-friendly self-sufficient house the other house is kind of a wannabe but still nice looking. Let me know what you think! http://www.simondale.net/house/...

    Wow...I'm so jealous 120 acres. I wish! I only have 20 which nothing compared to yours. We are renting this farm (we got very lucky to be able to do that) cause we just moved up here from VA and had never been here before. I want to buy 100 acres or more in the next few years once we've been...
