    Sufficient Self Journal Section

    This is JMO but I think that journals might turn into a train wreck on BYC for a couple reasons. 1) They provide a really good avenue for "picking on" someone. 2)The number of posts/replies is a bit of a popularity contest and someone is bound to get offended. 3)They will take away from the...

    Cooking with less meat ideas? (to save money)

    For a burger, I like sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter until they are brown and then add a splash of red wine to the pan. We used to put these on burgers but IMO you can just dispense with the patty. They are great on a bun with all the trimmings. We have drastically cut back on our meat...

    Schwans

    I think you may just have been lucky. I've lived on both coasts, and have never placed an order, or even looked sideways at a Schwans guy, but I've still had them come to the door and knock, and be pushy to the point of me considering calling the police. When my husband and I were first...

    Self Insufficient: My procrastination list

    Whoa Pat, a whole new list for today? My list for today has one item: 1. Fix plumbing and stove in rental house. And let us all cross our fingers that it is something I can fix without needing to call in professional help! It is very appropriate that I will be spending Halloween in a crawl...

    Patandchickens' journal - please think good thoughts for my cat!

    Soooo cute! At that age they get a lot of mileage out of their costumes. Makes it worth it. When my youngest was little he was very concerned about his first trip to the dentist, sooo I let him wear his cheetah costume. The trip was a success. Love those ants!

    Self Insufficient: My procrastination list

    Another thread briefly touched on procrastination. For some reason I am cruising on this forum instead of doing the stuff I am supposed to be doing. Instead of holding you all responsible,(because you are much more interesting than the stuff I am supposed to be doing) I am going to post a...

    From the Outside Looking in

    You and me both. I wonder if maybe everyone feels like this to an extent? Part of the reason for me is that I read something that I really disagree with and figure, I just don't want to wade in too deep, so I don't reply. :hu What I'm trying to say (rather ineffectively) is that more...

    From the Outside Looking in

    Hey farm mom, I totally hear what you are saying. I was tweaked at that BYC thread too, for a number of different reasons. However I keep coming back here because I have learned so much about making the most of my resources. This forum has been a huge benefit to me. Forums are funny though...

    Smilies question

    Well it took me forever to figure out posting a picture, and I'm avatarless to date. :) Just wait till that cute little baby grows into a second grader. She'll run circles around you on the computer. My kids make me feel incompetent on a daily basis.
