To all my friends here: have a great day, stay safe, give thanks for the people in your life that bring you up. And thank you all for making this site a favorite one for me.

@frustratedearthmother, your post brought a pop-up ad for in-ground pools. Look though I might, I couldn't see a cat in the pool, though.

That sign on the Ford is a bit tacky, but says a lot.

Today is Kenny's birthday. I hope he has a day that is special and one that adds pleasant memories. Kenny is a newbie who joined Nov. 14th.

Good score, @goatgurl! I'm looking for a small wood stove for my garden shed and sauna. A double furnace pipe should work just fine through a window. The important things are insulating materials behind and under the stove. I can't imagine having such a treasure and never using it. Enjoy!

Happy birthday, @CDODD726! Hope you have a great day.

@baymule, we have sold three houses on Land Contract to the great tenants that were living in them. One Quick Claim Deeded the property back to us when he got in legal trouble and left us with repair headaches far above what we'd have had without selling it. One skipped nearly a year of payments...

I collect the rents here at home. I also store the paint and cleaning supplies for new tenant readiness (always my job). Manage getting son and DH to do repair work as promised in a timely manner. I'm ready to sell out and just enjoy working on my own home anytime soon. It seems we have spent...

One wrong word, sometimes one wrong letter. . . and history as we know it is forever changed!

I like your thinking, @baymule. Hoop housing is an excellent temporary way to provide shelter as well as a longer growing season if @Steffenkbh hopes for veggies to go along with his meat.

Sending you a big Wisconsin HOW-DEE! I hope you will quickly become comfortable here and that you will enjoy this group as you journey toward self-sufficiency.

We have members enjoying their birthday today. :thumbsup @Tuco, happy birthday! :celebrate:celebrate:celebrateI appreciate how well you have settled in and become an active participant on SS. :loveI hope today is a special one filled with friends, family, fun and good memories. :love...

:plbb I suggest a $5,000,000 grant from the Federal Government -- to me -- to study setting up this department.:barnie

Here abouts, IKEA is sold in the U.S., made in Scandinavia, and comes with instructions written in Asia. That makes putting things together a world of fun.

Right, @Myhouseisazoo2, there is a pretty short 'hunting season' on morels. The right temps, the right rainfall, and they pop up almost overnight. They are gone within a few days. Where are you (general area only) that you hunted morels as a child?

NOT a dumb question. @Myhouseisazoo2, store milk has been homogenized. This means the fat (cream) droplets are broken down into pieces that will no longer separate out from the milk as fresh (raw) milk will do. Also, what is called "whole" milk at the grocery store is only 4% milk fats. Much...

Here I am picturing a story about pigs playing musical instruments or chubby bikers getting down and mellow when you come up with a recipe. Hum. THEY say bacon goes with everything. I guess this would take the cake (or top the cake as it were). I agree with @baymule. Try it and let us know how...

My spouse has always asserted that the worst thing Man did to created a multitude of problems was to put water inside the house. I suppose that would apply to water piped through a plumbing irrigation system underground as well. Water in the house ALWAYS seems to remind me of Murphy's Law. If...

Happy birthday today to @Lawana! Hope your special day is filled with blessings and pleasant memories. Stop by for a chat.

@sumi, I have seen Patty Pan squash in yellow, orange, lt. green, dk. green and white. All different color variations of the squash. All of them WERE flat-ish in shape, though.
