Wannabeefree - I am about an hour from Vicksburg - so not out of the question - but still a long way. Plus it involves a trip on the interstate which I totally hate. Around here if the posted speed limit is 70 you better prepare to go at least 90 and sometimes then they will run over you...
Was that drying rack something like this but on a smaller scale?

I have one: As most of you know my DH has ALS - I needed a wheelchair ramp. A local carpenter and his son not only came and built the ramp but refused to let me even pay for the materials. They did a beautiful job and I doubt seriously I would have such a beautiful addition added to my front...
ummmmm Moolie - I have not heard about that. And never actually given much thought to other mammals not drinking milk after a certain time in their lives. I will have to research that as well. But I doubt I will give up milk as long as I can find something I can drink. Of course I am not...
Wannabefree - Even if he is approved - it still takes months. My DH has one of those automatic approval diseases. No questions asked after you file and show your medical records. Guess what - even that took almost a year to get started. There is a 6 month waiting period and they were nice...
What an absolutely wonderful surprise. It is truely amazing how an act of kindness, be it in a physical gift form or a gift of showing that someone really cares by a simple smile and hug, can make you have that warm and fuzzy feeling.
I am so glad you got that type of gift.
There is suppose to be major health benefits to raw milk, however, you better trust your source. I personally do not have a source - trusted or not. So I purchased goats - but upon further reading and reviewing decided I am not sure I can go there completely. If and when I finally get to milk...
Thanks Lori that looks like a good site. There are few nigerian dwarf owners around here - all high pedigree types. First my girls are not even registered much less have a pedigree. There in lies the rub. My goats are not worthy #1 and #2 even if I could present them as being worthy the fees...
Maybe I should introduce you to my Dr. She lets me have "keep around meds for just in case". Not a lot of them but she knows me and how I am. She knows I will self medicate in a heartbeat. Especially if I am sick on a weekend. So she figures its better to give me a couple of days extra meds...
:weee I am so excited. In Mississippi I am unable to purchase raw milk. So I purchsed goats to have my own. Well, I have been unable to find a billy to breed them with without purchasing one. And right now that is not on my agenda. To many time constraints.
No one local to purchase goats...
After you decide on exactly what and how many of each item you are going to stock - you might consider keeping an inventory/grocery list to make things easier.
I keep a clip board handy with a list of all items I have and how many. When I take something out of the freezer/pantry/cubbard I put...
Your winters are 25-30 celcius? WOW You can pretty much have a garden year round.
I think I like your tag line - if I translated it correctly. "The good thing about crawling to the cross is that it hardends the knees". Is that correct?
Sorry you have been going through such tuff times with your Mom but sounds like she is getting the care she needs now. :hugs
Hope she is better soon. And from one caregiver to another - be sure to take care of yourself.
