I also have freewebs site, and so far I have been very pleased with it. You do have the annoying ads at the top of the page, but they are far less obnoxious than those I've seen on other sites. The service is easy to use, and they have a lot of nice templates to start your site with. If you...

Hey there! :frow This is a great place to hang out! Glad you joined us.

Cool! Let us know how it turns out.

I have a couple dozen plain Gerber prefold diapers somewhere around here (that have never been on my baby's bum because I am admitedly a terrible cloth diaper snob and will only use Indian prefolds :lol:). DUH why have I not thought of this? Thank you for giving me a clue! I need it every now...

I planned to put in some blueberry bushes this year, but sadly, that plan has went the way of so many of my other grand ideas. :lol: Maybe next year. They do really well around here if the birds don't get them first! I considered trying to start a small orchard, but the only place for me to...

:ep, Karen! You really live up to the name "FarmerChick," huh? :lol: 80 acres in hay. I wish that I had enough flat land that wasn't in pasture that I could grow/bale my own. Decent hay is real scarce around here. And I'd love to have a market garden, but again, we don't have a place to...

Now that the sun is out, I'll have to head outside with the camera! Though, I wouldn't say that any of my animals "work". :lol: But we have a lot of them. And if I were more organized at it, I could potentially break even--though I don't know as though I would ever make money, much less good...

Thanks, all. This morning I have cooled off sufficiently to know that stringing up "clothesline" wires or shooting over their heads isn't the way I want to go. :lol: I did talk a lot of trash yesterday, though. But I don't want to hurt anyone, it's not worth that to me. Yote, love the...

Frugal, yes! I made detergent!

Hey there! :frow 7 children, huh? One of these days I'm going to have to ask you moms with large families just how you do it! :th I've got ONE, and I love him, but goodness he wears me out! :lol: But in the meantime, welcome to Sufficient Self! We're having a good time here; glad you...

So, I'm a bit ticked off right now. Actually, I'm just downright angry. My husband thinks that I'm overreacting (if I ever get him to join here he's going to find this post and give me a hard time about it, I can only imagine...:lol) Today somebody damaged our large farm sign at the end of...

Me? No. But I live with a husband, a toddler, and 3 pit bulls. 3 pit bulls that are, er, a bit too flatulent and otherwise odor-ific to share such a small space with. :lol: If I were young and single again, I'd probably give it a go. You can't argue with her reasons why, though. She wanted...

I don't think you sounded like you were rambling at all. It makes perfect sense to me, and I wholeheartedly agree. :D I have certainly fell for my share of useless junk and "convenience" items, and I don't expect that I'll be living like any of my Menonite friends any time too soon--but I...

I was browsing cookbooks in the library today and I happened across this one: http://www.amazon.com/Wilderness-Cuisine-Prepare-Cookbooks-Restaurant/dp/0899971148 and thought of this thread. It seemed to have a section about drying whole meals. When I searched on Amazon for it to copy the...

Between the talk of pickled peppers and gallons of hot sauce....I'm getting hungry!! Stop it y'all, stop it! :lol: It all sounds fabulous. Good Lord I loves me some good hot sauce. Yum. :P And apparently the thought of it renders me unable to speak decent English. :lol:

Oh, a spreadsheet of cloth diaper savings. That is just a beautiful thing. :lol: Thanks for the links!

Ours is masonry. Unfortunately, I don't have any helpful cost-saving information for you, 'cause the whole set up was here when we bought the place. We have a very large furnace that is wood-burning (actually, you can burn most anything in it) with an oil back-up.

Sweet! Do you ever sleep? When I get the chance I'll do a page on cloth diapering information. :D OT, but are those printer cartrides in your avatar, Nifty? :lol: You know, you linked to your printer cartridge forum in another thread and I was actually interested in it (we spend far...

I know people who have had very good luck with this stuff: http://www.wellinhand.com/wartwonder/index.html It's mostly creosote and bloodroot. Pricey, but apparantly good stuff.

Hhhmmm....very interesting idea! Like you said, it would be nice to have whole meals on hand in an emergency, especially ones that are family favorites! I don't know the logistics of doing this. I think that most shelf-stable meals (like MREs) are aseptically packaged; I don't know if the...
