Not much to report. I got my first mini egg today! Looked it up in the storey's guide and they called it a "wind egg". :lol: It was a slow day for the girls, I only got what you see below from 14 pullets. Oh well- I expected a slow-down in winter. The eggs shown are smaller than "large"...

I steal a bottle of the distilled water hubby buys to top off the batteries. (Shhhhhh!) But not because of possible funky bacteria- we have really hard water. I see what the mineral deposits do to the shower head and the boiling kettle just in one week. I can only imagine what it'd do to my...

I second hq13's suggestion. My aunt stopped wheat first. Her symptoms got a LOT better, but she wasn't perfect. Then she stopped dairy. She hasn't taken antihistamines since. Her asthma has disappeared. She tested negative for allergies to both. I am working myself up to try it too...

Thanks! I love that my 6-year old son would rather watch "secrets of the dead" (archaeology or related) than a lot of other stuff. Of course, I do let him watch some stuff I can't stand that isn't too horrible, just so that he can have something to talk about with his peers. He's already so...

I like some tv. We don't have cable or a dish, just air channels. I get 3 PBS stations, which I really like. Local PBS, create, and world. We also get abc, NBC, CBS, fox, This, CW, and the weather version of the local station. Sometimes they play local college hockey. I have a few shows I...

I don't know how many people have to pinch watts like I do being off the grid, but maybe some of you like to! ;) When we switched from a propane fridge to an electric refrigerator, We took the icemaker out and saved quite a few kwh/year. (I can't remember exactly how much now- but it was...

I don't qualify for any of the above. I live a mile back in the woods with solar panels and wood heat. Hubby hunts sometimes. I grow a few veggies in raised beds. Picture any other house in suburbia, only now move it to the middle of the woods. The only thing different about the house and...

This is an older thread, and my comment is only partially related to the original post. but this has inspired a rant. How about- instead of a store telling me what foods are "green", "sustainable", "heart- healthy", etc- put ALL of the info on the label and I will figure it out for myself...

:lol: The "Lance Armstrong on crack" analogy is a good one. The youth group I work with went to a presentation with an "energy bike" from Cornell University. It's really neat. It has the bike hooked up to a circuit board with a few different electrical items on a display board. A 5th...

I don't know. I haven't paid a monthly bill since 1998. But we have upgraded our system several times, and we just spent a ton of money on batteries. So it's not like it's free. ;)

Well now. I must be a very smart and well-adjusted person. I here I thought I was a clutterbug. :cool:

I am going to try this softener recipe. What I have done in the past is... drip a few drops of scented essential oil scattered around on a washcloth and throw that in the dryer to give the clothes a scent. It works well. Some scents are much stronger than others, so start off with a couple...

Mmmm bread. I used to make 4 loaves every weekend to get us through the week. I've been so busy I haven't done it in about 6 months. I got a book for christmas a few years ago... By Peter reinheardt or somebody. He has a special technic for getting 100% whole grains to rise well. It...
