  1. There is a proper way to educate young people, and today's education system has moved away from those methods. In this free digital version of his popular book Liberty and Learning, Larry P. Arnn of Hillsdale College explains how education—and free government—can be restored in our country. http://lp.hillsdale.edu/liberty-and-learning-free-ebook/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=newsfeed&utm_content=hslda&utm_campaign=liberty_learning_ebook

  3. Found this on a friend's FaceBook feed today. ================== Spring also brings flowers. And pollen. And if you suffer at all from allergies, you’ll want to know about switchel. Also known as Harvest Drink, Harvest Beer, Swanky, Haymakers Punch, and a host of other aliases, switchel is a refreshing beverage that has been fortifying the American immune system since at least the founding of this nation. This is a remarkably refreshing beverage that I would easily make any time of the year. The vinegar and the ginger give it a nice bite, while the molasses keeps it from being overpowering. I can see the centuries-old appeal of switchel. You don’t need to heat anything. You’re using ingredients that don’t need to be prepared. It comes together quickly and can be stored for a decent amount of time. The variations on switchel can be plentiful. Let your imagination guide you and once you’ve tried it on its own, play with it. Remember that each household made it to their own tastes. Harvest Drink. Mix with five gallons of good water, half a gallon of molasses, one quart of vinegar, and two ounces of powdered ginger. This will make not only a very pleasant beverage, but one highly invigorating and healthful. Reduced Adaptation: 5 cups of cold water ½ cup of blackstrap molasses ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar (preferably raw, unfiltered) 3 tablespoons ground ginger Mix ingredients thoroughly. Store in jars, jugs or bottles. Shake before serving. Serve cold.

  4. Salt and a potato! http://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/clean-and-organize/kitchen-clean-up-videos
  5. I see NO reason for making changes--period. It is only being done for "political correctness." Previews of the bill show that the only change is in the image on the bill: there are no additional safety measured, anti-counterfeit measures, etc. It is just another way for the POTUS to cause more racial, ethnic, and gender tension within the US. (It may also be a way to find out who has been "hoarding" cash as they may decide to 'update' their paper money supply.)
  6. You have to have a Kindle UNLIMITED acct to get the free download. O.o
  7. There must be a reason for the Jack Daniel's in the recipe!!! Maybe the glaze should be used for the slug fritters too.
  8. I consider this forum to be the best place to post this story because History is once again being threatened to be rewritten and the Holocaust NEEDS to be REMEMBERED! If you have a Facebook account, please go to this link and share it on your page, then ask your friends to pass it on. (I know it was posted in Oct, but it just showed up on my Timeline today.) https://www.facebook.com/don.walk1/posts/10208111474162106 An afterthought. Perhaps it "offends" the muzzies sooooooooooo much because it was one of their ayatollahs/sheiks/princes who offered the final solution to Hitler in the first place and they don't want THAT remembered!
  9. $5,000! I'll wait for the 10th generation, thank you very much!!! Besides..................standing at your fridge looking at a picture of what is inside is NOT the SAME as standing in front of the open door of your fridge waiting for something to "jump out" at you!!!
  10. Another common ordinary household object to be aware of. Vigilance and safety consciousness are needed when toddlers (and pets) are in a household. From a related article: “These devastating outcomes occur in small children when batteries get stuck in the esophagus,” said Dr. Toby Litovitz, center physician. When a lithium button battery lodges in a child's esophagus, it causes an electrical current to go through the tissue, she said. “The electrical current is causing more damage because it is splitting the water surrounding the button battery and forming hydroxide, which is an ingredient in lye. Imagine dropping little tiny drops of lye in one place in the esophagus,” Litovitz said. The lye substance perforates the esophagus and goes into whatever tissue is nearby — it can be the aorta or the trachea.
  11. Natalie Cole has died at the early age of 65. R.I.P. Natalie. I loved your music, especially the duets with your dad. <3 http://www.mail.com/entertainment/music/4044240-natalie-cole-grammy-winning-singer-died.html#.7518-stage-set4-4
  12. Got Christy's today so my collection for 2015 is now complete. Thanks everyone.
  13. I won't buy any kibble that is made with corn or soy. I am currently feeding a brand called "Evolve" which I buy at Winco (also available at Raley's but much more expensive). I dry feed the kibble in the A.M. and the dinner feeding is mixed with veggies, broth, chix livers, etc. (I make up a week's worth and keep it in the fridge.) Her waste is firm and not too stinky.
