Thanks. I clicked on it and I guess I should go check my e-mails soon. I do want my kids to know how to take care of some of their own needs, in the most natural way possible.

The legal cards are all stacked in favor of the contractors and the big guys. Makes me sick. Legal doesn't mean right. My septic tank works just fine and hopefully no neighbors decide they hate me and report me to the board of health, because it stinks to high heaven when all those beautiful...

Well I just paid out a bunch of bills, so I'm totally in the mood to decrease expenses. Before I slaughter those broilers, I best slaughter my extra roosters. Really gotta put a few girls on weed control instead of the men. Practically free eggs would be nice. Time for St. Nick to pass. I'm...

I put 2 cattle panels in an arch on the middle of that bed, so I can put up a tarp, for cover against chicken hawks and rain for 2 or 3 weeks. By then, hopefully they will have thinned out the weeds really good and I can do the rest by hand because I need more humus and maybe 2 inches of chips...

Sorry back so fast, but I went out to move the broilers to the asparagus bed, feed and move tractors around and I found some broilers that had room for each another 3 Lbs of meat. This is what I have: But on the bright side, once they got over the shock of being thrown in that bed, they...

I'm going to try to keep a good sense of humor today. My BIL, who is DH's oldest brother called DH yesterday to see if he wanted to clean 10 broilers and keep 5 and, of course, DH said no, but that he'd call me. They are in a dog crate, on the girl's playhouse and I am about to throw them in...

Wow....this has been a week!!! Won with the pics I learned how to post with!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

When DH and I split, I bought him a repossessed house, but I really wanted to buy him a house boat. I live in a bayou community which connects the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, so I felt with water access we could go almost anywhere, if we had a mind to and could get any amount of...

Okay, I was able to post the video on youtube, but can't (at the moment anyway) post it here, but if anyone wants to view it, or drag it here, its called Rhoda's Terra-Cotta Tea Candle Heater.

A while back, my godchild was having too many seizures because of changes to her medical coverage and out of desperation, I pulled out all my books and decided skullcap was what I needed to order for her. Apparently it suppresses the nervous system. So the same herb can also treat anxiety or...

Oh my!!! So I have been asked to post step by step instructions on how I made the terra-cotta heaters, so I got DD 12 to video me and I caught hell trying to put it up here, so I am now downloading it to youtube and I have about another half hour to go. I have been asked by a lot of my...

I got my daughter to video me, but really having trouble uploading it. It looks like it should be as easy as posting a pic, which I only just learned how to do that.

Thanks. I'm sure one of the members can help me. Thanks. I will, as soon as I can get out there, weather permitting. Now that I've learned how to sneak pics from my cell phone to my computer files, I'm sure I can figure it out. I'm feeling mighty lazy right now. I just got back from...

Today I have redeemed my Araucanas, if not for their weirdness, then for their eggs coming through. True, they are seasonal layers and not known for being good or even decent producers, but it has been my experience that when other breeds go on strike, the Araucanas are the ones that give me my...

My unassembled and assembled terra-cotta, tea candle heater.

My 2 largest bedrooms, both have clothes lines inside. I only use my outside clothes line for towels, sheets or when I'm in a rush to dry stuff fast on a hot day. I'm too lazy to go there. I just go straight onto hangers and use my inside lines. When dry, they can go straight into the...

I figured it out, with a little help. On the first pic, maybe I could have put a few candles burning to give a better idea. But hadn't thought of it. There are 4 terra-cotta wedges or supports, that I have calked in place with cement filler. I put this idea together, because of the plan DH...

I saw a rack for kindling made out of masonry blocks, but when I tried to put it together, I didn't get enough of an angle. I'd have to see if I can find something else I can use, because I do have 2 wood burning stoves, to keep my house warm and I am making an outdoor oven to keep my house...
