Okay, so its been a little while since I've been here and everything looks different.  What happened to the "new posts" I used to be able to click on to see whats been happening since the last time I checked in? I tried "unread content" but just got messages that someone had responded to someone else's question.

I'm embarrassed to admit it because I know the odds are astronomical, but yes I did. This is the first time I've ever bought a lottery ticket in my whole life. I'd love to win just a little - heck, I'd be thrilled with $100.

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Kappy - you should write a book and include pictures and detailed info!! I'm fairly new to foraging and would love a good reference book. Do you know of something like this for the southeastern part of the country?

We do this quite often. Whenever we smoke meat on the smoker, we lay blocks of cheese on foil, smoke till they start to melt a little, take them off to cool, then smoke them until they start to melt again. We do this 3 - 4 times and the results are FANTASTIC! So delicious!!! We usually do cheddar and mozzarella. The cheese is so good on a sandwich or the "Flipz" crackers!

That's awesome! I usually make pear preserves from our trees, but we got ZERO pears this year. Had a bumper crop last year, so still have plenty of preserves left, but this year we got nothing. My grandmother always said when God blesses you with a bumper crop, preserve all you can because the next year might be slim pickins!

Thanks, Momo! You might want to check out www.checkout51.com and www.savingstar.com . Both offer different rebates on grocery items each week. You upload your receipt and they give you the rebate. You can choose how you wish to get the money - check, deposit to account, etc. When you combine a good price, coupons, and a rebate, you can really get some good deals. The Savingstar site offers something free each week - reimburses the total price of the item.

Some really creative ideas! Love the animal feeder!

Yes it IS nice! I can't tell you how many times I've told hubby, "I'm so glad you're handy!" It has saved us a ton of money on both house and car repairs!

That's awesome! Thanks so much!!

We got those in the mail too! Stupid question....are they part of Obamacare, or something else? We already have a prescription program with our health insurance company and was wondering why we got those too.....and with instructions to give them out to friends and family. ?????

Okay, I downloaded the free app on my PC...tried to download the book and got a message that the app is not registered under my email address. What do I do? sorry if this is a dumb question.

I truly believe God made dogs to bring pleasure to our lives and give us a reason to smile! My little dog can make me smile even on my worst day! There is just no end to the silliness!!!

Oh, Ambergris.......I can feel your pain and heartache. Keep your chin up and know there are a lot of people praying for you - and him.

Time to stock up on larger candy bars! They will be great in Christmas stockings and birthday gifts once they are no longer avaialable over the counter. They will be a novelty!

Thanks, ladies!!! Gonna try some of these recipes this weekend!! I just hate to throw something away if it can still be used. Also, good info. for when times are really tough and you have old mixes lying around!!!

Spoon bread? Sorry, but I'm kinda a novice. Can you give directions? I'll probably feel real dumb once I hear them.

Using it as breading is a great idea!

Ended up paying about 10 cents for each box, so it won't be the end of the world if I have to toss a few boxes, but I just hate to be wasteful.

I got a good deal on Jiffy cornbread mix last year and bought a good amount. I have a few boxes left and it is out of date. The cornbread still tastes good, but it doesn't rise like it should. I should probably know this, but can I revive it by adding baking powder, baking soda and salt? I hate to throw it out. Anyone have experience with this?

Okay, not to be dumb here, but what are edc tags?

Those are so cute!! I bet they are super warm!! Add one more request for pattern and instructions, please!!

So glad this was reposted!!!! These are the kinds of things that will save real money on the grocery bill! AWESOME post!!!!

My oldest daughter is learning to drive the tractor and cut, rake, bale and haul hay.

My youngest daughter is learning to do a lot of cooking from scratch this summer.

Both are learning to sort and wash laundry, and hang it on the line.

We are trying "tire taters" this year. Will let you know how they turn out.

Can also take heavy cotton string, cut into two inch sections, dip in wax and let dry. These are tiny and therefore don't take up much space. You can pack 50 or more in a film canister. 50 fires for the space of a film canister - pretty good.

Several years ago, my dd took swimming lessons at the college. They must have had some serious chemicals in the pool because the build-up in her hair was unbelievable. We couldn't even get a comb through it! My stylist told me to wash her hair with baking soda and it took it right out! Amazing stuff!
