WE have a local dairy farmer here in wa. that was raided and property siezed because of raw milk. They were a producer and maker of world class cheese. If you Google Estrella Cheese you will probably get more info. They are now out of business, and selling the farm. It was heart wrenching to everyone here. They and their children worked night & day to make that cheeses what it was -- and it WAS good !

This is the hard part about loving a pet. The time we have with them is very special, knowing that they have to leave us. I am so sorry for your loss.

I have them and use them for all kinds of things. I do not put anything in them that I would consider storing long term. Just extra stuff that I make, ie.. salad dressing, croutons, leftovers.etc

Arby--thanks for posting this.

Annarchy--beautiful pictures !!!!

Today was our once a month breakfast outting and a trip to the gun store with our one and only "like minded" neighbor. The rest of today was spent doing "research & developement" on how to make fine chocolates. Something I have always wanted to learn.

I got rid of the Corelle because when it does break---it creates "shards" of glass. The pretty fancy stuff out is cheap made in China stuff, and believe me, it makes a huge mess when dropped !

I threw out everything and started using the old Homer Laughlin restaurant ware. I absolutely love it--and it's tougher than nails !!

Yes, it is a hard meeting, and I am sorry you have to go through it. In my case, they did not do what was promised. I know that most of the Hospice workers are good, but unfortunately, not all.

Yes, we thought it was a little fishy. When DH called them, they wanted to replace it with a different Ball ammo, not the same as he ordered. He said no. He wanted the exact same as he was giving back. He won and they are sending him the same, but more of it ! He asked them if this had anything to do with the Gov't----they laughed at him and said no. They did not want to give up the armor piercing ammo.

They mysteriously had the 5.52 stuff--
"in stock". But you cannot buy it.

We got notice yesterday for a recall & warning on Winchester ammunition- 5.56mm M855 62 Grain PENE. It is due to incorrect propellant in the ammunition.

Check your boxes for this # ZGQ3308 Lot # WCC10M106-004

If you do have it then call Winchester at this number - 866-423-5224. They will make arraangements to have it picked up--and replacement ammo sent back.

Thanks for posting this---I always wondered about that !

Kimberly, Good girl. Now you MUST consider that this IS your mission. Providing for you and your children must be your first priority. Make every decision based on this new mission. Try to overlook what your husband does. I know it's uncomfortable and scary---but you CAN do this, I promise you.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed, then come here for your support. Gunplumber overcame his odds---and you can too.

You are gonna be just fine !!! ---Cheryl

Myself-----I would not. I do not trust Fema, which is a shame. They do not always look out for the folks---only themselves. They drop the ball too much for me.

Nothin like "daddys little girl". Congratulations !!!!

Ok, now I will give you a dose of reality.

He is NOT going to change. I am never an advocate of a wife leaving or a divorce but.... I have lived this nightmare. It was a very tough situation as yours is. He was manipulative, dishonest, and had plain disregard for me and my children. I did not work, and he made the money. This is a form of abuse. It took me a long time to save the money and be able to leave him. Anything I faced after leaving him was better than what I faced being with him. It made me a better human being. It WAS the best thing I ever did, and I am proud of it today. Did I love him---yes, more than anything.

25 years later--- I have a good life, and he is an alcoholic and his children do not have contact with him. Your children WILL remember their upbringing, and they WILL remember his actions and how he treated you in regard to the finances. I wish you the best of luck with this---since you will have to be the one to change this---he is unable to. - Cheryl

It was Taco night here ! yum !

The vet is putting her in harms way. I was bitten a few years ago by my neighbors dog. It happened out of the blue. It was a very ugly bite and situation. once he bit me the first time---he tried to knock me down and bite me again. Very painful experience. My neighbor was horrified. Her dog was a very aggressive stray that she took in.

Welcome aboard young lady !!!!!!

It's just a matter of time now before most merchants will post different prices for goods---one price for credit and one price for cash. Remember when the gas stations did it in the 70s ??

I am patiently waitng because I pay cash for everything ! It's about time !

All kinds of music. My latest greatest find is a guy named Joe Bonamassa---wow can he play guitar. I like hime so much that I bought concert tickets to see him in Seattle in April. --Yeah !!!

Holy Cow !!!!!!!!!!

Amazing ! what will they come up with next ?

Wow--I LOVE this idea ! Can't wait to try it out.

I am so very sorry for your loss. We also welcome you back home here. Please use all of us to help you go forward in your new life.

You have a very good support group with family and friends, and for that, you are very fortunate. Martianchick is right---take a breath, take your time with your decisions. It is critical to helping yourself and your future. I know you will find all of your answers and your peace of mind.

Years ago when I raised chickens, I would grind up the eggshells with a rolling pin and feed it right back to them. They seemed to love it. They were the best laying hens ever !

That is nice ! I love it when this happens !
