  1. Thanks for letting me pick your collective brains ( ) I can see I have a lot of reading to do.
  2. A nurse told me I have the option of bringing my daughter in at age 12 for the vaccine that prevents the virus that leads to cervical cancer. (She's 10 now, I have plenty of time to make up my mind) I don't know much about the effectiveness of the vaccine, but I'd like opinions both good and bad about the idea of giving this vaccine to my daughter. Here are some questions: 1. Would you consider or have you had this given to your daughter? 2. Does this give girls the impression that it prevents STD's? Or pregnancy? 3. Does it give girls the impression that irresponsible sexual contact is ok and permissible? 4. What explanation should or could be given to girls who receive this vaccine? 5. Would you give your daughter this vaccine and NOT tell her what it's for? (At least until she is an adult) What parent wouldn't want to prevent any type of cancer in their children, but would I be sending a mixed message with it? Thanks for your thoughts on this.
  3. Isn't that a great site?? I love it! I've seen it posted somewhere here before and I made it one of my faves right away. I can't wait for the chance to visit a local farm and pick my own fruit/vegies.
  4. I admit my daughter and I have fibbed to neighbors about why we really want their pine cones out of their front yards. We tell them it's for art projects but really it makes extremely effective tinder and it's free. lol
  5. There is a lot of horse property around me, I think I'll be tapping a few for some free worms. These red worms are also known as 'manure' worms so me and my gloves will do some harvesting. I thought it was interesting how gardening lime will help lower acid levels in worm bins. I think my brain grew this last weekend. lol
  6. *Deep breathing* I can do this! Thankyou for the time you put into answering my questions and mostly calming me down. I'll be reading up and soon there will be my own strawberry jam on my shelves. I'm so excited!
  7. I want to can! I've never done it, never seen it done, and I do not know a soul who does it or who has done it so you guys are my only guides. I am intimidated! Here is what is hanging me up: How do I know what I have (will have) canned is safe to eat? Is the flat seal the only proof that the food is and will be safe later? This one thing haunts me and keeps me from taking the plunge. I'd be devastated to find that something I canned made someone sick. (heaven forbid). How do you trust what you canned? I know in store bought cans and bottles I can see a popped lid, or bulging cans and I avoid that. Home canning is different. No machine sealed it so how will I be absolutely sure it's safe? All those strawberries at the store are calling my name....
  8. Gosh, guilty of only thirty. I saw a couple dozen I'd like to add on and will do so this year. lol **Your kids cherish the shake up flashlights you gave them for Christmas. **You don't trim your hedges but you can button up your home in twenty minutes flat and have drilled it recently. **Your young children want zippos and can start a fire without a lighter or matches. **You can cook for a family of four on a set of (empty) coffee cans in a matter of ten minutes. **While others plan vacations you have planned multiple bug out routes.
  9. This is *exactly* what I've been trying to tell people. What you see on shelves at any given moment is all that is in the store. With 'Just In Time' there is nothing stored in the back. It takes only a couple of hours to empty a large store, and it would take a couple of weeks to refill it!! Thankyou so much for posting these pictures, I will point folks to take a look and hopefully open some eyes to what 'could be'.
