Glad to have you here! :frow We have several members from all around the world - Australia, New Zealand, Poland, England, Canada and others I can't recall. We have a great time on this forum learning and sharing. It is amazing how we Sufficient Self folks are so very similar and have...

I became GF when my daughter (D2) was diagnosed with Celiac. I have not been "tested" either, but I am also Celiac. Before going GF I had severe acid reflux. The doctor had prescribed over the counter medications and other treatments and was ready to "step me up to stronger drugs" that I...

Lately we have been watching a lot of old movies and educational films that are now public domain. (I KNOW we are SO cool at my house. :lol:) The thing is that a lot of these old films had subjects like: Proper table manners, How to date responsibly, Hand washing, Being a good citizen...

Sliced Ginger Pears! :D

Encourage those projects then! A person can make a fine living doing custom cabinetry and other custom wood projects. Perhaps if he has a secure skill to go on he will be more likely to get the move on! ;)

All you need is a bright idea (which you have got) and the first few chapters to submit to a publisher. Easy Peasy. ;)

Get typing girl! :cool:

I love this one. :drool Cinnamon Toasted Almonds or other nuts 1 egg white 1 teaspoon cold water 4 cups whole almonds or other nuts 1/2 cup raw sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll...

I am certain that what ever it is ... HE has you perfectly groomed for the job. ;) :D Nobody ever thinks about the real lives of the disciples. Many of them left family, all left friends and belongings and personal expectations behind them in order to follow Christ and to do his work. I am...

Few of us are called so specifically as you have been. HE must have big plans for you my sis. :cool:

My hubby gets the downs about work pretty frequently as well. :( It is too bad that we are not wealthy enough for him to just quit and allow us to move on to something that is more fulfilling for him. It was HARD getting him interested in our homestead, but he is starting to come around...

WHERE did you find that? I LOVE IT! :thumbsup

God bless you and give you courage! D1 took hubby on a ride when learning. She backed out of a driveway across a busy highway. When she was supposed to step on the brakes she - instead - stomped on the GAS! She shot across the busy highway, down the ditch on the opposite side of the...

You must be a saint. This one was a REAL peeve of mine. When people asked me, "Can I feel your stomach?" I usually replied something like, "Well you could try, but I won't be held responsible for the results." I guess I am scary, because nobody ever reached out their hand. :lol: I had a...

No need to be Self Sufficient Bee. His Grace is Sufficient for us. :love

Don't get me wrong there IS a place for pain meds and other medical procedures that sometimes occur with child birth. I am sure 20 hours of labor would do it. :lol: My whole thought is that a NORMAL child birth is a natural process. At least I knew when squeezing out that first 9 pounder...

I am taking it easy today! :D Too much running yesterday. Here is my list ... 1) Make GF biscuits with GF Bisquick then make sausage cream gravy and eat until I am SICK! :sick ( :cool: already did this! I haven't had actual biscuits and gravy for nearly 5 years. YUM! :drool) 2) Read...

I think that is often the case. Commercial soaps are harsh and full of additives. Just a simple pure soap, with no additives or fragrances, often works wonders!

There is a recipe in The Complete Soapmaker book by Norma Coney. So far this is my very favorite soaping book. I really recommend it.

I can't imagine that a deer hide would be any different. Perhaps you would need slightly different chemical mix, because sheep hides are greasy, but the rest would be the same. I have done sheep and rabbit hides, but both were hair on. I think you do have an additional step or two if you are...
