Welcome aboard. You made me think of my starts and stops. Something about doing things for the family that makes us proud. I started out with cloth diapers on my son but he was allergic to of all things - cotton. So I had to buy disposables. At that time I was the oddball out...

Amen Bee - everything is a lesson of some sort. DD built a small bonfire last night to roast marshmallows with her 15 year old son and almost 3 year old daughter (better known as Ms Emma). Emma had a ball until she burned her hand slightly on a marshmallow. Of course she had to have a bandaid...

:welcome.. I only speak hillbilly southern english. Thank goodness my drawl does not show in my typing. Well, maybe it does. Looking forward to following your journey.

I am not sure I understand totally. Are you saying that once your Grams passes you and your husband will then be homeless? From what you have stated here your Aunts will swoop down and throw you out. I know this is a tough situation and my next question is really going to be hard to answer...

I have no clue about fish meds being safe - I do know that my vet gets my pet meds from a people pharmacy across the street. The last time the vet prescribed antibiotics for the dog it was Cipro. They ask me if I minded picking it up and I said no. I ask the pharmacist if it was the same as...

You are all so sweet. Thank you all for your support. Bee - hug your neighbor for me. I was not raised in a house that did volunteer work. Both my parents worked full time jobs and struggled to make ends meet. There was not any spare money or spare time. Not having that in my background...

FC sorry about your fall. Hope tomorrow brings less pain. Marianne - I hope your cousin recovers quickly. That was a nasty fall he took.

Why didn't I think of that. My soups always get frosty on top. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks.

How big is your freezer? Frost free or not? Food last longer in a freezer that is not frost free. But if your freezer is frost free and you can afford the room loss you can line walls with frozen water bottles, frozen milk jugs, ziplock bags with a little water in them frozen flat and...

Oh my - I did that a little over a year ago and it was a total nightmare. I was without phone service for almost a month. Not cables fault - my Direct TV drug their feet on sending the OK for me to keep my number. And in the end - it ended up that I could not keep the number anyway due to 911...

Thanks QA - I am glad to be back posting. FC that was my exact thoughts. All that work, time, money - gone. I found ducks to be so much more work than peepers. But my granddaughter loved those ducks so I will probably bite the bullet and get more. I guess I am just a glutten for...

Well then I will pray for triplets for you. I wish I lived closer too. I would love some runners.

:welcome

Goodness - I can not believe I have not posted in my journal since I got goats. (Note to self: this is no way to keep a journal) I never even posted about getting 20 ducks, raising them, then having coyotes or wild dogs come in and take them all but 5. 2 of those 5 were pretty seriously...

What ya gonna do FC? You are aware that you will have to post a thread showing your progress?

Last week PB was 3.27 for 16oz at my local grocery. That was the on sale price.

I would not change much - I do wish my house was arranged a little differently so I would have more storage space. I want a wood cook stove but I am not sure I want it in my house. Maybe an added outside enclosed cooking area. I really want to build a brick/clay oven in my back yard but just...

:welcome Glad you are here. Sounds like I have more interesting reading coming

Great tip FC - Thanks for posting.

I have never thought of using persimmions for anything. Not sure I have ever actually laid eyes on one or if I did I was not paying attention. All I remember about persimmons is my Daddy telling me when I was upset about something was "You look like a possum eat'n persimmons". :rolleyes:
