  1. Is there an App for scanning books of my personal library?

    I was wondering if there was an app that one could use to put together a list of books I own?


    I would like the ability to scan bar codes and possibly put the list into Excel.


    It would be a benefit for me in many ways.... time saver in entering everything by hand, knowing what I have, and what I want or need.


    Any experiences would be helpful. Overwhelmed when doing engine searches.

     

  2. I have two such stores about an hour south of me.... one Amish and one English (non-Amish). They have lots of things that are not expired. In fact about all of the edible stuff has time. Even their medications have expirations of 2013 up to 2015.

     

    Both have items that are dented and ding... those I'm more cautious of and inspect well. Where I do well is torn bags of dog/cat food and slightly dented cleaning/laundry items.

     

    Ironically these two stores are within about 10 miles of each other. Each gets their salvage items from different places... English from Minneapolis and the Amish from Pennsyvanlia.

     

    Some of the best deals I have gotten at either was the Amish store have two flats/boxes of wide mouth Ball canning lids for $1.00 per box....yesssiiirrrreee got both boxes. :eclipsee_Victoria: Organic laundry detegrent from New Zealand for $2.00 per box and is the best laundry detegrent I have had... cleans well.

     

    Yes, agree... be cautious but I save BIG money with those stores.

  3. Monarch Wood/Coal Cookstove

    • Cream colored enamel.

    • Water reservoir, leaks a tad.

    • Warming oven.

    • Wood box is small but can burn coal with no problem.

    • Located in Central Wisconsin, will not ship due to possible damage so would have to be picked up.

    • Items on the stove not for sale

  4. I have used Family Tree Maker since 1999 and have liked it. I now have the 2010 version and still like it but have plenty of questions. I have tried their forum but don't get the results that I like.

     

    One of my questions has to deal with facts. Years ago one could put in all types of facts, now I seem to be stuck with just the primary - birth, death, marriage, and etc.

     

    Help?

  5. For Sale: Back Home Magazines Issues 1 – 113.

    The only issue is #3 which was out of print almost immediately. I didn’t start getting the magazine until year two. One can buy from Back Home directly a photocopy of the #3 issue. http://backhomemagazine.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=BBM&Category_Code=BI8

    I will not remove the address labels as I know it will damage the covers (experience). They are in excellent shape, some corners might be a curled a tad from reading. I have a dog in the house so if one has allergies to things like that; this set is not for you.

    Want $200.00 for the set. Will barter, so throw out what you might have. Shipping weight is 47 pounds, you pay for that. They all fit in a paper box with the lid being raised to accommodate the magazines.

  6. Let me tell you.... I own a washer like that listed at Lehman's... mine's is called an James washer from S&H Metals from northern Indiana... it is 32 years old. Paid $250.00 complete then.

     

    I have used it many times over the last 32 years when the wringer, regular washer, or just wanted to be in the pioneer spirit.... and you need one strong arm and 5 minutes is an eternity when you are washing clothes for a family of 9. The wringer isn't the best but better than wringing the clothes out by hand. Running heavy jeans through the wringer is a challenge as the wringer will slip. To get the best cleaning action, one can not even put a complete set of queen sheets in it.

     

    Yes you want to put the lid on to prevent you from getting as wet as the items in the washer. Because if you get that baby going... no lid.... you get your bath at the same time.

     

    Still have it... use it for really dirt rags or oily ones.

     

    Prefer a wringer if I can't use my Staber washer. And if I need to... and I have many times before I'll use my agitator http://www.lehmans.com/store/Home_Goods___Laundry___Washing___Breathing_Hand_Washer___1138390?Args= in a big ole yard tub.

     

    So needless to say... I have no problem sitting my Staber washer on 5 minutes to wash, cuz if I thought clothes were clean enough with 5 minutes and arm time.

     

    After a while my kids found out that the washer wasn't fun... :clothesline:
