That kind of explains why we don't get many new, lasting members here, doesn't it? One young person with a fresh and enthusiastic outlook on life doesn't stand a chance against a bunch of jaded middle aged "preppers."

I'm so sorry! I was just wondering how everyone on here is doing with the gnats. I don't live near water, so I guess they aren't as bad as they could be here, but are still an aggravation. Anybody know what their life cycle is? When will we be rid of them?

As far as I know, lettuce cannot be preserved. Maybe someone else has heard of something.

There was a marathon of Hillbilly blood on last night. I felt sorry for the chickens in their "winter coop" which was totally boarded up and about 4 by 8. And their summer pen was chicken wire. I didn't hear how many chickens were in that house, but it wouldn't be pleasant for any amount. I...

It comes on another channel, besides DESTAM. I can't remember which I watched it on. May have been Nat Geo 2, or Science?

I just watched a couple episodes of this show for the first time last night. Pretty interesting. I went to Spencer's site before posting this. I knew he was more educated than the show seems to want us to believe. Sometimes you can't hide smart, just like you can't hide stupid. Too bad the hour-...

I think the weather affects us more than we realize. It seems that the barometric pressure fluctuations make me feel bad. Of course, the day before a low moves in, my joints ache. High presssure gives me a headache. I am at my most energetic on overcast days. (I'm just too sensitive for this...

I think I would feel safer putting the extra in the fridge. (Just my opinion, however) When I render lard I keep the extra in the freezer.

After reading Boogity's description of the shingles that never did break out in a rash, I am thinking maybe that's what I had about a month ago. It was on my shoulder and across my upper back/neck. It felt like bee stings or hot pokers, especially when my clothing would touch it. Getting the...

Fortunately, the ants we have around here aren't big enough to crunch. DE is used for fleas; I would think they would "crunch"

Can you see a trail they are following? You might try putting diatomaceous earth down on the trail. My son had those little black ants really bad last year. He sprayed and powdered and everything else. They got into all the food in the kitchen. Granted, he's not the tidiest person, but still...

I like the natural look, and don't see any reason to prune them. They're perfect the way they are!

I just kinda figured that in a SHTF situation, we would all be too tired from all the stress and physical labor, that the "urges" would be knocked flat. Of course, possible lack of showers and soap may add to that. ;)

So what exactly is the intent of a troller? Of a spammer? Joel, I think you are referring to the type of post that sort of agrees with something already said, but in an odd, disconnected, non-specific way. I have wondered about those, too. I once asked the poster a direct question and got no...

I'm taking several ladies from a retirement home to see a local drive through azalea/rhodedendron garden this week. We did that last year, and stopped for ice cream. I think it's a shame the activities director doesn't take them out for stuff like that. All they do is silly crafts that a 5 year...

You can buy sublingual b-complex that comes with a dropper at big-mart. Might be more effective than tabs? I still have energy, but the weather lately has joints protesting loudly. I was reading up on shingles, cause the chiro mentioned that the pain in my shoulder and neck sounded kinda like...

:lol: OK Rhoda, now is when we need to have some valerian tea.

Are they outside yet? Or started and growing indoors still? Inside, overcrowding and general lack of nutrients can cause yellowing.

I'll try to keep aware of it, and post the results, if I can tell. I had been taking SAM-e, but was advised to stop when I was taking another remedy, and now I haven't gotten back on them yet. They work really good for a while, then the effectiveness seems to wane. You need to stop for a while...

When I went to my chiro yesterday for some really sore messed up muscles in my neck/shoulder, we talked about the stress I am experiencing right now, and he recommended a B-12 shot. He said it would help with my energy and coping ability. I said "Sure, why not?" Well, after the shot, I did...
