BB - I have always felt that evolution/science and religion go hand in hand. My little simple mind only has to go back a 150 or so years to come to that conclusion. On a tour of antibellium homes the first thing I noticed was the beds. They were all so tiny and short. I am only 5'5" tall...

Britesea - Beautifuly worded.

I can't answer your questions at this time Rathbone and I think we should use caution here to avoid this thread being closed. Because I personally love this new thread. So comparisons with the Bible or other religions may need to be left alone. I apologize. I started that particular line of...

You are correct about the simularities and there is a reason for that. The Christian faiths that I am aware of took root from Pagan beliefs. Kind of like once upon a time before Christianity. :) Its not that we disagree. Its simply a difference in the way we worship. Differences we all...

http://www.texasescapes.com/CFEckhardt/Preserving-Meat-on-the-Frontier.htm Try this link for why you might not want to try this unless forced to. :lol: I am sure there is more info out there but this was the most interesting one I found.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for shareing. I have totally gotten away from any attempt at any practices over the last 4 years. Funny how things work. A few weeks ago I was outside walking the dog. My 3 year old granddaughter insisted that she help me and begrudingly (I was in a...

:welcome Mississippi here. I love Ponchatoula. It is a beautiful old town. The stores downtown are so much fun to visit. I use to come to the Strawberry Festival every year. Have not been in several years though.

ORChick, I think that was Mother Earth News. If so they also tested the waterglass method of storage. And if I am not mistaken - 6 months was the time frame they used. The results were that the waterglass method was no better than storage in the fridge using your method. I personally find...

WOW - You are a very busy person. Like Britesea - I am amazed at all you do plus have a job.

Another Mississippian here :welcome This is a great place to share and learn.

Since FD says she won't be back for a minute or two I decided to try and answer your question as best I can. Not being well versed in all Wicca practices but fairly well read on the subject with some personal practice, maybe I can get this half right. 1st - Wicca is not organzied. You can...

WOW - I love the planting/harvesting by the moon phases section.

Hi snapshot. I just finished reading your whole journal. I don't get here much anymore for many reasons. I just kind of pop in and out. I read much more than I post these days. (As you can tell from my number of post, it has not always been this way). I tip my hat to you for doing all...

:welcome One more Mississippian here.

I have to tell you this. I almost fell out of my chair laughing at our very young local weather man last night. Our temps have ranged from mid 30's overnight and back up to mid to upper 70's during the day. Typical weather. Nice, nothing major. The 30ish temps only last a few hours in the...

:lol: Yep, know exactly what you mean. Mississippi is having its first cool spell. I actually had frost yesterday - and the heat has been on for 3 nights and 2 days now. I actually had to dig out a jacket yesterday. Day before a sweater was enough. I think I have a couple of more days of...

:welcome You have a beautiful family. Glad you finally joined us.

FC - have you tried storing your taters in one of your fridge crisper drawers. If I don't use all of my taters in a timely manner and only have a few I will store them there in a flour cloth sack. If I have lots of taters that I know I won't be using quick enough I store them in wood shavings...

I chop and freeze onions, peppers and celery. If you have a regular freezer that is not frost free they will last longer than 8 months. Or at least mine do. I freeze mine after chopping by placing them spread out on a cookie sheet. After they freeze I vacuum seal most of them in small...

Thanks for posting Free. I find it very interesting. With all the chemical coatings attached to the actual cans of commercially canned goods, not to mention the preservatives in the food, I am thinking 10 pounds is probably a conservative number for some people. Especially teenage boys who...
