Pork chop, mashed potato's, and fried apples. John

The woman sounds like she needs some serious mental help. John

Happened to me also. John

Went to a local dollar store today and got seeds for $0.02 a pack. Came home with 110 packs for $2.42 plus tax. Two packs were $0.13. It's worth checking out. John

I would look carefully at the lid and sealing area on the canner for dents, nicks, gouges, etc. Put the lid on & tighten it down to see if it seal properly. Look at the bottom to see if it is flat & not warped. No way to check to see if the guage works, (they are about $25.00). Check the lugs where the clamps go for cracks. Inspect the handles to make sure they are not loose. That's about all I can think of. A new one depending on size is over $200.00. John

Thank you Ambergris. John

Dehydrating also heats the food more so than freeze drying. Also no way would I try to dehydrate something like pork chops. John

I have a question. If I was to purchase this machine how do I figure how much say pork sausage to freeze dry if I want to end up with 5 #10 cans? A #10 can has about 29 ounces in it of finished product. How many pounds of fresh product would I need to get what I want. John

Do you know how to do the thumb nail test? John

I hope you have a sand box big enough for me to join you. I get in the same pattern as you at times. I seem to do better with deadlines than not. John

Happy belated Birthday to you Jeeper's, keep on trucking girl!! John

I may have to buy a new rider myself. I went out today and mine refused to start. I've got my money's worth out of it simce it is about 22 years old. I just hate spending that much money. But after mowing with the push mower it will be worth it...my back & shoulders agree. John

Some of our members here make soaps & lotions. Necie & Darlene come to mind since I have bought from both of them & they both have great products. Send them a PM, I'm sure they will get back with you. John

Happy birthday Zophiel. I often wonder how you are doing. John

I'm still eating food from 2010. John

You can try reinstalling the latest version of AOL and see if that cures the issue. It should not mess up anything. John

Rain, nothing but rain here. I can't even get the garden plowed. It may be late or it may be nothing at all this year. John

Yesterday was the best day I have had in a loooong time. My back is sore & stiff due to laack of mobility but otherwise I felt really good. This morning I am hurting but not as bad. I am not real keen on vaccinations myself but to each his own. Since going through this I would take the shot. This has been a lot of pain for a long time (39 days) and counting. I have had operations that were painful but not for this long. Trudy says she is doing much better also. John

I have not read One Second After but I would like to. Maybe ya'll would like this book. I came across is several years ago and totally liked it. I think it is 99 chapters long. http://thisismesurviving.blogspot.com/2010/01/prologue.html This is Me Surviving A fictionalized coming of age account of a teenage girl's effort to survive when the world as she knew it came to an end. - Story Complete John

I would question it. Free installation means no labor fee. John

Jeepers, they make saws for cutting off door jambs & they do a very good job. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ajamb%20saw John
