I'm ordering a side of beef (the organic, non-hormone, yada, yada, yada kind). Besides the cuts of meat, I have to tell them if I want the following things. Would you take these parts and what would you do with them? short ribs soup meat bones tallow kidney Why wouldn't somebody want the...

What are the green tanks by the side of the house? Love the patio! Beautful chickens and beautiful kids :) Inchy

My favorite hen is shedding feathers like crazy. Her comb is also very pale. This particular hen is 16 months old. She started laying in August 2008 and was an excellent layer until she went broody 7 weeks ago. She hatched a duck egg 2 weeks ago and is tending to the duckling. She is eating...

Sorry about the shingles. :hugs I had them while in grad school in my mid-20's. Try to stay on the meds. I hear they help prevent post-herpetic neuralgia (a recurrence). I have a bit of the neuralgia. My back still gets prickly and sore at times. I know it's my sign to step back from...

Just saw your soap pics. They look scrumptious -- like melt-in-your-mouth fudge. I'd buy some :) Inchy

Well, the rabies test came back negative on Monday. :bow So this morning, my daughter looks out the window and shrieks that the cats are after a bluebird. I dash outside to save the bluebird, but it's not a bluebird --- it's another bat! This one is bigger and alive. I don't think anyone got...

Big cat poo? Are you keeping a lion somewhere? We're just starting to look into some kind of deer deterrent. I fence the garden in a way that they can't get into it, but they destroy my roses every year. But, I can live with that. The problem is we've had a bumper crop of deer ticks the...

Jason, Looking forward to part 2! My taters are growing like weeds. I wonder if there'll be any taters by the end of it.... Inchy

I went to Kelley Blue Book's website and plugged in your info. I don't know your exact model and I plugged in my own zip code. It says the value of your car is $1725 if in good condition. Transmissions probably cost a bit less than that, but not a lot less. I think in your shoes (and it...

Why don't you tell us what kind of car and age and mileage? And then list the repairs you have done recently and cost and what still needs to be done. I bet by the time you finish, you'll have a clearer idea of what you need to do. Inchworm

Earlier this week, my darling cats left a snake on my doorstep. Thankfully, it was dead. Yesterday, I was greeted with a bat. Mentioned it to DH who said it might have rabies. I told him I thought bats having rabies was an old-wives tale. He looked it up and informed me that bats were a...

My pride and joy is 17 years old. Still looks like the cream puff it is :love

I recommend boxing things up and storing them in a dark corner. Label the box with the contents in little letters and the date in big letters. As time goes by and they ask where is this or that, go get it for them. After 6 months, don't look in the box, just take it to goodwill. If they...

Gee, I wish I new the answer to that. We tend to be the last owners of our cars. I figure the devil you know is better than the one you don't. Generally, I figure out what I want to replace the car with and shop around to find out how much it will cost to buy it. If the repair is cheaper, I...

If we decide to keep our duckling, can it swim in our man-made ornamental fish pond? Or do they eat goldfish, dig up water plants, and foul the water too badly? Inchworm

We seem to be in the same weather pattern. I'm happy not to have to water the garden, though. Someone said something to me yesterday about it being summer. I was floored. It hadn't really dawned on me that it was June -- kind of feels like a perpetual April around here. Inchworm

Gee -- and I was feeling perky yesterday. You all went and burst my bubble....:hit Inchy

Mmmm. I noticed a lot of tall blondes in Salt Lake City last time I was there....

Sorry about your duck. Skunks do eat things besides the eggs :( We all feel overwhelmed at times. Things will be better tomorow :hugs

Aw, come on you guys! Earth 2100 was on TV because some evil corporation put it there -- not because the evil government made them. We're talking about it here because some evil corporation sponsors this website -- not because the evil government is making us. Being "Green" is the biggest...
