    guinea keet with a badly splayed leg...

    I had one like that too! It lived quite a while but never really "thrived" it ended up getting killed by one of the varmint attacks. The leg never healed. I had hatched it from the incubator so I just didn't gave the heart to destroy it. But it never really did well. It ate and drank ok though

    hqueen's collection of Far From the Usual stuff.

    You mention having anticipation jitters with the handgun. What caliber? The you said .22LR is good for you. SigSauer makes a dandy handgun for .22LR called "mosquito" and it is what I use to train my daughter. Very nice and easy to handle. Try that one and let me know how it goes. Saepe...

    Are we close to SHTF scenario?

    I believe we all benefit from the wisdom in the following statement: It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Stop all your consumerism and start putting away for the rain...which IS coming! Look at your expenditures and figure out how to change them into sustainable living for a minimum of...

    Nifty little hand crank washing machine Groupon!

    Here is another option for some useful things. Most of this is marketed by the Amish. They seem to have a handle on SS. Cottage Craft Works The one that got my attention was a 3 point hitch mounted tool for building mounds for the garden. I liked that but will build one myself... assuming I...

    Ingrown toenails

    I've never used them so I can't comment. No matter what you use, it needs to clear up the infection first otherwise whoever it is will NOT let you touch that toe! Trim sends //BT//

    Ingrown toenails

    First you have to resolve the infection which is caused by the little spike of toenail that is found in the nail fold. Then you have to get that "SPIKE" of nail that is buried in the nail folds removed as that is the basic cause. These form because the nail is not properly trimmed and often just...

    Null Says Organic Gardeni will be resticted and driven out of existenc

    C'mon now! How is anyone going to monitor what or how you work your garden? This is preposterous attempt to scare folks. On the other hand, I did watch the "Thrivemovement" video and it was very good because it offered real solution, not just complaint. The trick is "getting folks to do it!"...

    For those who want to learn to Weld

    How interesting to read this latest entry today. I just finished using my Hobart handler 135 because I ran into a really interesting problem with my wind turbine guy cables. What happened was I had bought an eyelet that was three-quarter inch steel but it wasn't completely welded shut. On...

    Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

    A few things hit me on this. First, how nice of the folks inthe county to pick everyone else and none of them wanted to work! What's up with that? Really makes you feel good to be "last choice"! What jerks! I do hope the job is to your liking. Your friends at that barn will become annoyed with...

    Stress...how do you deal with it?

    Going to the garden does a really good job of relieving stress for me. I have about 4 stressful jobs, not just one. Most of the jobs I do causes stress of one sort or another. Working in a busy emergency room is always very stressful. Folks walk in all day and night and most of them are NOT...

    Nifty little hand crank washing machine Groupon!

    I looked at that one too. I noticed that it was made of stainless steel, or actually looks like it is. It does have the appearance that it would last significantly longer than the plastic one in the other catalog. What is interesting to me is the fact that I would be a lot better off just...

    There are generally only a few explanations for this rash of "destructive" experiences. The most common of these was what we in the Navy called "Get-Home-itis". You get so focused on "getting home" that you skip safety steps or generally just don't pay attention to what you are doing, then...
