I'm with you pat. I would probably be considered a "bleeding heart", in that I hate to see animals harmed unnecessarily. I can't imagine why you would want to kick your cat, and I can't imagine why it should be ok for someone to deliberately harm an animal just because you don't agree with...

Am I the only one who didn't know what hotdog sauce is? :lol: I am not a hotdog eater really. I'll have one every once in a while when we are camping, but that's about it. I'll have to ask my husband if he's ever heard of it, but considering he's lived in Southern California his whole life, I...

So, it's kind of like a chili? I've never heard of hotdog sauce before.

I haven't heard of that being allowed at any schools around here anymore. I don't know how I feel about it actually. I think that there are probably kids that need a paddling every now and then, but I don't know that a teacher or principal are the ones who should be doing it. I can't imagine...

I'd probably have to include books for myself also. I am a complete book fiend!

Is there anything you can't/won't give up when striving for a self-sufficient lifestyle? I can't give up air conditioning (at least where I live). For me, however, it really is a can't, not a won't. I literally would not live through a summer here without it. Edited to add: I really do mean I...

I am having to use my gas dryer right now. I don't like the way the clothes feel nearly as much as line drying. I can't wait until our landscaping is all done and the dust isn't flying anymore.

I would like to see people being more open-minded about others. I think if we could see an end to racism, sexism, etc., we would be much further along the path to peace.

What is hotdog sauce?

I would make sure my Israeli flag was flying high....

Pretzels are fairly easy and you can make big batches to store.

I've made my own cheese balls and things like that before. Baked ones kind of like cheetos, not like fresh cheese that you eat with crackers.

I'm going to try this as soon as I run out of the soap we have been using.

We don't celebrate Christmas but I have family who does. I like all these ideas. Does anyone want to share recipes for any of the items mentioned?

My Mom made the best rhubarb pie and jam. There was also an oatmeal spice cake with peanut butter frosting that was one of my favorites. I made it once for a function at work and found it must just be a family favorite because not much of it was eaten.

That just scares me. Fish that is at least 5 years old... :o .

When a neighbor of ours in our old condo complex moved out (rent was getting too high), she couldn't take her freezer with her so she asked if we wanted it. Couldn't say "yes" fast enough! It wasn't very old and still had the energy star sticker on it so we could easily see the rating. We...

We don't have too much of a predator problem here. I think our worst enemy is the feral cats. We have lost one bird and think that was the culprit. Plugged the hole in the coop and haven't had a problem since. If we were up in the foothills more, I'm sure we would have a bigger problem.

I'm not in Alaska now, but I grew up there and miss it terribly. We lived in Anchorage, but had a cabin on Big Beaver Lake and drove through Wasilla every time we went to the cabin. My parents still have a house in Soldotna that we try to get to every summer (didn't make it this year). I've...
