Aw, thanks! I always like hearing that. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the forums! What brings you here? :pop

Wow, I'm glad you're getting that taken care of! Headaches from neck/back problems are the pits. But good doctors can make all the difference, so I'm glad you have one.

Ohhhh, that one looks good! I'm always surprised by how well bananas and chocolate go together. They really, really do. Thanks!

Score at the Goodwill store! An Oster bread machine for only $10. They usually cost $25 there. New ones cost $65 or more at stores like WalMart. It must have just been put on the shelf or it would have been gone. And I found the manual for it online, downloadable for free! So far so good with...

Good afternoon, all! I have the opportunity to pick up two lambs at a really good price. Up to date on worming and vaccines. Four months old. What are the plain basics of lamb/sheep care that I would need to know? I believe I've read everything and am ready to handle this, but I'd hate to get...

Congratulations! That's awesome news.

Good for you! I'm glad you were stubborn and kept looking. Thanks for posting the plumbing resource.

Yes, he's still where I put him. I never heard of a possum that could play possum for a whole week, so I think we can safely assume he's "really, most sincerely" dead! My friend to whom I directed that blog post is a college professor. She spends her days doing e-mail, powerpoint, and standing...

A friend of mine recently said that reading my blog makes her tired because of all the things I do. So recently I typed out everything I do throughout the day and posted it as "A day in my life" on my blog. I joked that I was giving her a good reason to go to bed early! I know most of you have...

"Growing pains" - that is an excellent analogy! Thank you! As adults we sometimes have to self-inflict them to ensure we keep growing. I'm glad I'm not alone in this internal debate over where I am supposed to be in life. I appreciate hearing similar stories from others. I'll encourage you, too...

I really like my current lifestyle. The way I have it set up right now, I don't really have to do anything I don't want to do! (Isn't that nice?) But I've gotten complacent. Too comfortable. And honestly, sometimes bored. So - I have challenged myself. For the next 10 weeks, I am going to do...

No worries, hoosier. Maybe the next place I live won't have a glass-top stove and I can get a second one! (Oh dear... another thing for me to start getting duplicates of...:lol:)

What wonderful information, everybody! Thank you! I think I've settled on the larger of the two Presto canners I linked to, and the utensil set. Presto is the only one I can find that says their canners can be used on a glass top stoves, which I have. (Don't like glass tops, but this is a...

I'm excited. My mom was going to give me her old one, but when I was there a couple weeks ago, she couldn't find it. So she told me to pick out one online and she'd buy it for me! Woohoo! BUT - I thought I knew what I was looking for, but the more I look the more questions I have. Hoping you all...

I've never actually seen a dead opossum before - only ones that were playing dead. So when I saw this one in my chicken run this morning, I gave it a wide berth but continued doing my chores. I expected it to get up and run away! When it didn't, I got the pitchfork and poked it, and it seemed to...

I am seriously considering toilet training my cats. I have three of them, all indoor. I'm TIRED of the cost of kitty litter. The stuff that actually does a good job on the odor is just too expensive. So - toilet training. I've read as many sites as I can find, watched videos, read tutorials...

Back when I had money I paid $70 each time to have my hair cut and colored. But I tell you, it was the BEST stylist I have found EVER. Worth every penny. For 3 months after one of his haircuts I could wash it and walk out the door and my hair would simply dry correctly and lay the way it was...

LOL! Chickens that have NO problem figuring out how to leave a pen are hilarious to watch when they want to get back in. Somehow door=out does not convert to door=in inside those little feathered brains. Repetition is key, I think. Whatever helps lower the feed bill!

Yes you can tractor them. But most people keep them in suspended wire-bottom cages because it keeps the poop from getting on their feet. All that fur on their feet collects mushy poop and packs it in, creating conditions ripe for yeast infection and other yuckies. So if you tractor them, it...
