If you think you would be safe enough block the road when he pulls into the dead end road to dragster.Back your car into the road and with video cam in hand tape away so you get the license. Police will do little.Maybe ticket.My friends son got a $600 fine for drag racing.

DH has been looking at cell plans and said a 2 year contract anywhere would be around 3k. I said we should do without phones for 2 years and put that cash on the mortgage! We canceled our cable last April so that saved $65.I canceled the land line phone and it was $23.Our cell is $110 for 2...

There will be other houses.I know you liked this one,but don't let emotion get the best of your pocket book. I hate looking at houses as we have no money,but I just found one that is only 39k.It started out at 65k.It is hard to stomach the house prices these days when just 5 years ago homes sold...

The grandparents need to add you to the property deed.Forget wills.Wills go to probate.Wills get contested. That deed alteration would end the bickering.Talk to them about it.I had my mom add me to her deed under a survivorship deed.When she dies I can avoid probate and go straight to the...

I was cleaning up half my garden box(still have tomatoes growing),and planted some swiss chard and mixed lettuce.Radish and beets would grow quick. I don't know if the zukes would make it.

I was reading of drying the fish in 2 books I read by Velma Wallis(two old women and rasing ourselves).Seems like a good way to stock up the meat.

I have 8 chickens and have less than an acre. There is a self suffient book I got from resale that was written in the 70's.There are pictures of what could fit on a 5 or 1 acre plot.Pretty amazed at all you can do with an acre,so you will do well with 3 if you plan it out.

We are the poorest family in the whole clan(various countries included),but we are pretty happy with what we have.Would be great if we had a bit more so dh could work less.Even if we had more money we would not spend like some relatives that buy $200 gucci glasses and $300 armani watches.What is...

I just read of the ground beef recall today .Dh told me about the turkey one.Then he told me about the canadian bacon one.I said," Thats it I am going vegetarian!" Then I remembered the 10 dirtiest foods list I recently read. http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/foodborne_illness/

I have been having cucumber yogurt salad with some garlic and a dash of salt.Also, some naan bread with sun dried tomato(in olive oil) and zatar seasoning.Broiled in the oven and great with the cucumber yogurt salad. Love veggie chips(beets,sweet potato,and so on) but I eat way to much.

When I can't pay my bills I don't go asking for a higher credit limit.I cut my spending instead. Personally I find it very insulting to see the govt. threatening to not pay the military or other people in need.The government workers should take the cut/no pay not citizens and soilders.

I came across a booda cat litter box at goodwill.It comes with a lid.The hens now all lay in that.Before they would lay in milk crates.I also used an old wicker laundry basket,but they were pooping on the top of it. Lol, I just noticed that I wrote egg crates instead of milk crates.Boy that...

I got some great rubber boots from the feed store.Only cost $18.They had really nices ones for 40-100,but the cheap ones are comfortable and good.The boots are better quality than any I saw at Walmart,Target,and so on....and cheaper too!

I used to have huge ones for like 2-3 years,but they are gone now.Disappeared.Kids had fun catching them. I thought I had them again this year, but it turned out to be spring peepers hopping in the grass! I read of a trap of molasses/water mix in a coffee can buried at ground level. I didn't...

I followed your link from the lemon verbana,and my first thought for cold summer soup was a cherry one I had as a kid in Hungary. Thanks for the recipe!!!!! I am going to make this for my mom one day when she visits. I really need to plant some hungarian cherry trees.

I ordered a dozen book from the library interloan program. Also I have read the comment section on canning books at amazon.It is useful in that people mention mistakes within the books.

Hope it is ok to post in this thread too. I see mention of the canning pot with the rack that I did not buy at Walmart today for $19. I see the reason for it is the need to keep the glass off the botton of the pot. I don't have a cake rake so I guess I buy that or use a towel.

Do you guys sell your cheese? I saw goat chesse 8oz for $3 on craigs.Is that a good deal?
