I had to sing that this weekend when paddling against the wind for miles. Just keep paddling, just keep padling... It works for everything that might get you down! :thumbsup

Well, my husband is an impulse shopper. He bought us both kayaks, they weren't as expensive as I thought they would be, mine was around $150, his alittle more). But, now that we've used them and have done research we want different styles, that are more stable and sutable to "sport" and...

Yesterday I kayaked 15 miles. The way out wasn't too bad, the wind was at our backs, but the way back... It was hard work!! A lot of fun though!!! That's the most my arms have moved, ever! I felt very accomplished when I finally got back to the dock!

I did know about the hydrogenated and it took a while to find one that did not say it. The first thing I did when I got home with it was make pie crust and biscuits!!!! But a new bucket is in order for me now.

Thanks. I'm new to using lard and wasn't thinking. Just to be safe I won't be eating it. I've never made soap, but what a great reason to learn!

Ok, so I got my first tub of lard a couple of months ago. Since it was on a shelf in the store I have kept it in a cabinet at room temperature. I got to thinking, should I have kept it in the fridge? Is it still good to use since it has been out for a while now? Help!!!

This week, I have slowly been mowing the lawn with tth epush mower. About 1/4 acre at a time. Should finish tonight!! :)

I've eaten crickets. They had the wings and legs removed and were roasted. Tasted like peanuts with a strange texture. I've also had them in toffee, they added extra crunch.

I have enjoyed reading this thread! There is a lot of wisdom being shared on how to live a better life. The lyrics of two songs come to mind whenever I think of how I want to live or if there is something I need to improve on, both songs by Van Zandt (the brothers). "It's better to be hated...

That was my first thought too! :drool

Great photos, I especially like the bunnies!!!

I thought I would chime in to say - try your recipies with ww flour, I use the store bought kind. You never know, it may turn out just fine, and noone will care - I unnintentionally did that with my favorite biscuit recipe and I now I won't go back. If it turns out yucky, just give it to the...

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend!!!

Your weather sounds just like mine - everyhting in the garden is dead or dying and it hasn't rained in a month. I feel your pain. I hope your get-a-way is nice.

looks like fun!!!

Funny story!! I love the tumbleweeds, well, I actually hate them, but I love that you call them that. I was lying on the couch the other day and looked behind the tv, yep, tumbleweeds. :lau I sucked them up with the vacuum.

So, here goes, I normally don't post pics on the web (I'm paranoid that way, and I never knew how). This was taken right after we finished the coop, and the chicks were checking it out. (I did put more bedding in there before it was made permanent that evening and the feeder and waterer they...

So many goals, so little time... I have so much stuff I want to do. I have tons of stuff I need to do, I just need to manage my time better. The weeds in the garden are OUT OF CONTROL - It's the first garden here, so I should have expected it, I just put it off until the weekend and now...

I just saw this thread too, and I am really excited thinking about what I have done to become more ss!! I think this is what I've done this year: -Put up clothes line to line dry. -made laundry soap. -Got 11 pullets, just need a rooster to make some babies ot eat (the eggs will do for now -...

So I guess being able to exersice at home is self sufficient (even though I can't spell it). The dogs have made paths in the back yard that are perfect for a jogging path. So yesterday I mowed a person sized path and chopped down branches that were hanging down and viola - my own jogging...
