Every year DGD dyes eggs(this year, DGS will help) and later on DH and I dye special eggs for the Easter bunny to hide. I am try to come up with something different each year. I have so much stress right now I am having trouble thinking of something new. Any suggestions? What do you all do? Monica

Thank you all so much! Mom is home now. She has a rechargable oxygen thingy (that I wanted her to have last year) now, and is walking around her house instead of sitting or laying all day and night. I am going to go see her this week. Monica

Thank you all for your prayers! She was moved out of ICU yesterday! She still is not out of the woods yet though. You all know how it is, you're sick with one thing, then out of nowhere, BAM here comes something else. Monica

brelansmama- I do most of those things also. I use the same coffee or tea mug for days. I use the same water glass for a few days. I will use the water glass for milk or juice, but then it goes into the dishwasher. DH rinses his milk glass out and uses it for water. I have gotten DGD to be...

Thank you all. I have not heard anything more yet. Monica

I just got a call that my mom is in icu. She has been sick for a long time but the drs. don't seem to do much for her. Hopefully she will get better care there. I don't know when i can go see her, we live a couple hrs away. I don't drive and dh is at work over an hr. away. I was told not to come...

I ALSO live around Frazier Park! Small world! We have a five acre ranch, we are just starting out. We have chickens, I make all of our baked goods, have the first garden going, this spring we will be making several more. Monica

I have several that I love! I use tham for dry storage also. I am always looking for more. Monica

Great!! Monica

Good idea wifezilla!! Good idea using them for insulation!! We use them when we go target shooting. They hold up well with most of our guns. They are lighter and smaller than when we have to use wood. After elections DH just grabs them off the side of the road, why wait weeks for someone else...

I used to put them in the 'scrubbie'bags also, great for very dirty hands. I also used to put them in pump jars for liquid soap. Now we plaster it onto the next bar-so no chips here either! Monica

I use them whenever I need to do coating/dippings on foods; onion rings, chicken, cookies, mozzarella sticks, etc. Monica

MY step father was a vet, he always had us put mineral oil in animals ears for mites. It always worked well, and was cheap. Monica

We had planned on using ours for some fencing, new coop, brush cutter and auger. That is ALL gone now, DGD's mother is taking us to court to try to get our guardianship of DGD cancelled and get her back. So all money we get goes to an attorney! Monica

2dream- Do you know where we can find 55 gal. drums that you are able to store gas/diesel in? We have been looking and can only find plastic ones that say not for storing gasoline. We wouldn't be leaving our ranch if/when TSHTF, but need enough to last us a while if/when it does. Now, we...

I do most all of these things you all do. When my kids were growing up, I kept frozen pancakes and french toast and waffles on hand. Great for school day mornings, snacks, and especially when you are sick and don't want to look at food. Almost any age kid can pop one into the toaster. I also...

I am going to post on freecycle today!! We have been talking about making a root cellar for two years and have been trying to decide the best way to do it. This sounds perfect. I will have to run it by DH first (of course). Feed storage is also a wonderful idea! Monica

I LOVE the blister pack idea!! There is NOTHING worse than being very sick and having to deal with those awful torturous things! I also love the popsicle idea, I must try that! DGD uses them to catch insects for her collection. I use them to go around our ranch every summer collecting...

beekissed- YES!! I have thought that the drug companies mostly, and the insurance companies also are manipulating us. I remember a time when the only drug comercials you saw on tv were for aspirin and cold medications. Before we stopped watching tv, it seemed that everyother commercial was for...

My neighbor told me that one hospital gives cash discounts for people without insurance. Her bill a couple years ago was over $125k and they paid $15,000! Monica
