    Are we living our dreams?

    Well, this isn't SS at all, but its about my life and will possibly affect my homestead, so I will tell and if it actually helps me, I certainly will confess it. I got involved in Life Vantage last night, under my son. We had a meeting at my house and I signed on, mainly because I was mildly...

    Are we living our dreams?

    I can't wait for mine to come in. I want to get started ASAP. The lye recipes will take a month of curing, but I can probably get some shea butter and glycerine soaps made really soon. I saw a display of soaps, made in Australia, and there was no packaging at all and only a label on the...

    Are we living our dreams?

    About 2 months ago, I ordered Design, but maybe I ordered the wrong cologne. Well, I just pretty much paid out all my expenses for the home and farm improvements, which exceeded what I really wanted to pay, so now, I will tell the guys to tie it all up....hopefully within the next 2 weeks and...

    Are we living our dreams?

    It so happens I saw Rosemary Gladstar's video making an onion and honey syrup right after I started the brew we have. I used mullein in a glycerine base, for children and flavored it with grape Kool Aid, at DD12's suggestion. To tell the truth, it was all her idea. Well the past 2 days have...

    Are we living our dreams?

    Yesterday took a turn I wasn't planning on. BIL and SIL both showed up to help with my home and farm, due to certain arrangements and I let SIL have my kitchen while BIL and I tackled the problem of chainsaws, woodchippers and the firelogs. I have now spent the money I had allowed myself on...

    Are we living our dreams?

    Are we living our dreams?

    Been having technological problems, so I am now typing with a brand new computer. This one shouldn't crash. My cell also drowned, so didn't have much access to the outside world, except a land line. Well, my fence continues and so does the work inside, but the 2 men apparently needed a 3 day...

    Are we living our dreams?

    Hoping by tomorrow I can make dramatic clearings. SIL promises to come early to help me out and both younger should show up to make me happy...indoors and outdoors. Totally love looking at my north side fence, even if it is incomplete. Just 2 weeks ago most of it was nothing but junk in my...

    Are we living our dreams?

    Well I'm still alive but my computer isn't. Lots of changes. I have turned in notice that I want to go part-time. Weekends only and only one shift for now and not very often either. I'm going to try to start a home based business selling herbs and organic foods. It's a little scary but I only...

    cornish rocks

    So sorry guys. My computer crashed and I'm waiting for a new one. Well my experiment continues. The cross are with some Marans crosses and they are much larger than the Marans. I do have a problem though. I found my roo dead today and I'm hoping it is accidental. He was near the milking...

    Britesea - Living the good life in rural Oregon

    My tax preparer fell sick, so while I was thinking she was preparing my taxes she was probably coughing up her guts. I was hoping to help my godchild with something...and still might, but the gods of poverty, must have heard it was about that time....well the house DH and I bought is coming up...

    Anxiety/phobia remedies

    Long or short-term....St. John's Wort. Skullcap. Valarian. Or maybe just steep some catnip or chamomile as a tea. Lavendar for aroma therapy. Push all negative thoughts away.

    Sugar free options?

    I never exactly got it in writing that it is officially safe to use, but I read it can be used, cup for cup, as a sugar would and I knew it was a 'diabetic sugar' so a few years back, I called a nurse I work with, who is very old school, really smart and also a diabetic and she informed me that...

    Are we living our dreams?

    Had the munchies, but came here instead of feed my face, because its not hunger....its boredom. And I'd like to either stretch or get on the eliptical today for a little while. So.....got a visit again from the new customer. OMG...should I??? Well, he wants a woman...for whatever reason, but...

    Sugar free options?

    I fixed some preserves a few years ago, using Splenda, in place of sugar and I got away with it. I don't recall if the Ball Blue Book has recipes requiring no sugar, but whenever I decide to preserve, I fall back on that book, but for me, it is mainly figs, which I have no need for instructions.

    Are we living our dreams?

    Just got a call from the new customer. He is coming over tomorrow. Not sure if I understand him, completely, but I think he is going to wipe me out of all my eggs....chicken and ducks. So DS did the outside chores so I can find the table and cabinets and start a meal and he did, as I asked...

    Are we living our dreams?

    For now, I have ordered the small business management course. I had discount due to being a returning student and DS will get a discount, due to being my referral and I'll get a check once he is enrolled...$50 both ways. I did ask if there was a limit and there is, which doesn't make too much...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    When DH first began having symptoms of being a cardiac patient, he should have had a few diagnostic tests done. perhaps, he could have had the angioplasty done, before having the heart attack. Then he wouldn't need a defribulator. But he hasn't learned his lesson :( I understand what your...
