brita has a rebate on the pitcher right now up to 10.00 rebate

walmart has it for like 8.97 and the last time i checked there was a printable coupons for 5.00 off a pitcher

so you can get it for 5.00 and get a 10.00 rebate.

ive done it twice and got the 10.00 rebate both times

I've been using a Brita picher for years, and am quite pleased with it. Our water (if I can believe the annual report the water company sends out) is quite good - contains the things it should, and doesn't have much or any of the things it shouldn't - but it smells too much of chlorine. The filter gets rid of that. I find that it filters through fairly rapidly - I can make 2 pots of tea in quick succession, filtering a new pitcher of water while the kettle is heating the first lot (DH and I drink different teas in the morning :rolleyes:). As you like your water 'fridge cold you might want to consider getting some sort of 'fridge pitcher to pour the filtered water into; that way you won't be mixing the cold and room temp. water together, and will always have enough filtered water. That way, also, if you choose to use filtered water for cooking and tea/coffee (as I do) you will have room temp water, and won't need to heat the 'fridge water up from cold. Or, maybe, get two of the Britas, but for just you that might be more than you need.

Cute bunnies! :love

yes linkage for coupon would be great!
will just have to find a printer :D

glad to see ya back sis! was getting worried!
aint they stinkin cute? i was dead set on eventually getting some tris so the girls were amust...
the buck was labled as a "grey" so when i saw him...that was it! hes very definatly a little opal, if hed been a chin like i was origionally assuming, id just brought the girls home, but i couldnt pass up an opal LOL.

now i just need to get my hands on a Tri or tort holland buck, and a couple of blue/opal holland does to get the mini plush project going (going for blue/opals and tris :D)
and i need to ge tmy hands on a couple standard bucks... lol.
rabbits are quite addictive.

realy need to think about placing the runer duck order too, right now i have one person interested in taking a couple of ducklings (ive asked him how many exactly he wants) min order for no charge is 16, i want 6, so ill only have 10 to sell.
since i won tbe doing chickens untill 2013, i need the duckies if i want eggs, i figure ill probably be able to trade some duck eggs for chicken eggs each week and i love duck eggs for backing which i plan to start doing more of ;)

going through the goats milk carefully lol, i didnt buy milk yet this week so im trying to not just drink it all lol. but yeah ive had goats milk in the past but mostly cooked/cheese, but fresh as a drink..yummy...and i could drink milk by the gallon on a normal day anyway, but the fresh goats...yup, just cements that im going to have a goat herd running round here soon LOL.

todays been pretty lazy, so far the rain cover has worked but i need to get the grommet kits soon to make sure there not going to tear, one got pulled off in a big gust just after a big flash of rain but i think solid grommets will fix that issue. the fabric right now is flexible so when the wind gets it it easily wiggles free.
the good news is weathers supposed ot be ok over the next few days so im planning on heading to lowes/walmart on thursday will pick up a grommet set kit, and go get the supplies for bank #2, the sooner i can get the Babbits into thier own house the better. still debating if im going to do a full bank now or if i do 1/2 a bank now the other half later... half bank means 1/2 the cost now but another trip to lowes later to build the 2nd half of the bank.

i think if i get the stuff on thursday i can probably get the babbits bank built before monday :)

toorrows clean up, but if im done early i might go tomorrow afternoon at least then thursday doesnt become a wated day and i can get them started.

I love the Opal boy! He is gorgeous!!!

How much are those runners? I had been thinking about it, and may get a few of them as well. So, just let me know ;) I have 38 eggs in the bator right now. Did you realize when you bred the rabbits their due date is Vaentine's Day? I thought that was cool when I figured up the due date :)

I am SO glad to be back on here!!! I missed ya'll a smidgen :p I reverted to watching sitcoms in the afternoon, and while Fresh Prince is still funny, I already seen all the episode's a half million times each. Me and DD can almost act them all out now :p

unforutnatly buff MONEY is a big factor in what i can and cant do and when...
the 2 sheds i was hoping to salvage are beyond help and need to be ripped down, then new coops built, i just dont have the money i have to prioritize projects and i dont eat enough chicken eggs to make going bankrupt trying to build them a house worth it...lol

the rabbits wil be putting meat (and hopefully some cash) on the table and in my pockets, and i prefer duck eggs for baking so ill use way more duck eggs, per week than i will chicken eggs (which i generaly use mabe 6 a week)
and of course goats are a must get set up now kinda project, im planning on doing young doelings so i can train them up the way i want them form day 1, so they have to come soon so i can have the milk sooner.

i am thinking of doing some "freeky meaties" though in tractors but we'll see...
feeding them is also something i have to keep in mind lol.

Free....the runners vary on price depending on what your looking for
fawn and white straight run are $5.69 a peice, sexed are $7.19
blues blacks and chcoolates are $5.99 straight run or $7.49 sexed
and the "assorted straight run" are $5.39 a peice.
im personally going to be doing a blue drake, 2 blue hens and 3 black hens, if i order 16 though theres no small order charge and shipping is free so if you wanted some it would be whatever the actual cost of your ducks are...for everyone else im hoping to get $7.50 a duckling to cover the feed and heat for them until they get picked up, and more for any that end up staying to fledging ect...but the fawn and whites are pretty as are the chocolates. just let me know if/what ya want.

im realy hoping they do kindle on valentines day :D wouldnt that be awesome! lots of "love bunnies" lol!
