I know nothing about this except from for what the ad on Craigslist says, but over near Hardy (pop. +/- 600), somebody has 42 acres for sale for $54,600. This is the Ozarks, so it could be on two sides of a ravine, or it could be nice. I just thought that I'd pass it along if anyone was looking...

Pretty much the same here. We've has the policy with them since 1999, and no visits or questions until last month, when they showed up to take photos of the house. When I asked them about it, they just said that it was a company thing now to have photos of all of the property that they insure...

Amen! Hopefully this one will stay out to sea. :fl

It could be exactly that. I would guess that a lot of the feed mills get their grains locally, or at least regionally, and that the rise in local prices would be equaled by shipping costs if they were to bring in grain from other areas. I went to the feed store yesterday. A year ago I had been...

Forget Irene: The Drought in Texas Is the Catastrophe That Could Really Hurt "Texas and Oklahoma produce almost a third of winter wheat in the U.S. the hard wheat used in bread products. This week, Bloomberg financial news quoted wheat economists predicting a 50% jump in winter-wheat prices...

The backyard prawns have always intrigued me also. I had a small swimming pool "pond" that I raised some bass and catfish in years ago, and even a small aquaponic system with catfish for a while, but I would love to try prawns because I am a shrimp addict. We make twice yearly pilgrimages to...

Doing so after replying. Keep us updated.

Hmmm..., I've never had farm raised shrimp, only gulf shrimp. There was a company about 60 miles from here that was raising prawns (fresh water shrimp), and I was looking forward to trying them, but someone left a valve open between the fish ponds and the shrimp ponds. All they ended up with was...

:pop I'd be interested to hear some experiences also. All I have are solar, and regular LED flashlights that I solar charge AA and AAA batteries for. Oh, I do have two of those shake type flashlights. They are a real pain in the rump and don't work exceptionally well, but they were free (and...

We're cleaning out the chicken coop! :ya :weee :ya

I love taters, and this sounds great! :thumbsup

I can't remember too many times where a group of friends were sitting around together and having a discussion, that the topic didn't stray a bit. It's just normal, and this medium is no different. We may go off on a tangent from time to time (like this post), but someone will generally move...

Not a problem. Personally, I don't think of it as hijacking, when the discussions "wander off". These forums are the closest thing to having a conversation, and conversations hardly ever follow one track. It's one of the things that I enjoy about this group. :)

Wow! Am I in the wrong area! I can't hardly find anyone to buy mine for $1.50 a dozen. :(

Well, if it doesn't apply to you, then no need to be concerned. Personally, I'm topping off my 200 gallon diesel tank, that powers one of my generators. It's only about half full at the moment. I have two 55 gallon drums set up (but not yet filled) for gasoline as a reserve for my tractor and...

Things seem to be getting pretty tense very quickly in the Mideast. With tensions between the two countries already tense from several terror attacks launched from Egypt into Israel, Israel is sending two additional ships to the border area. Iran is sending its' 15th Fleet (whatever that is) to...

Yep, that is cool. Most non-glazed ceramics will work, but I had never thought about a mug. I use ceramic rods to put the final edge on all of my knives.

To quote a recent post that saw on another site, "If youre prepared for the zombie apocalypse, a hurricane is just a storm." :old

I believe that the point Sunsaver was trying to make was that in Katrina, besides the staggering loss of life, an estimated (by the American Red Cross) 340,000 homes were destroyed. While it is a rightly a disaster to anyone that has their home destroyed, comparing the recent hurricane to the...

Yeesh! That's a new one for me too. :ep
