Good for you ! Enjoy your day

I have been sealing jars for years with mine. I originally had the canisters. The jars stay sealed longer and keep things fresher. My seals on some jars are 4 years old. I love this thing !

AWESOME job Dr. !!!

At my beach cabin, we have filled small gaps and holes with steel wool. It works great. They will not chew thru it and it's easy to stuff into a small area.

Finally getting some good weather here on the coast of Wa. We did not have a spring, so I lost alot of veg plants. Given what others are having to deal with in regard to weather---I will never complain again about ours. I will resolve myself to being quiet. Take care ladies---I sure enjoy you all !

I wish I would have known about the raspberry tea----I went thru early menopause at 31. Good thing I had my kids before I was 25. In our family, it was hereditary.

I know it's a big job----but I love to pull weeds and always have. I find it to be therapudic---good for my brain !

Wow -- good for him !!!! There is something about an "empty cupboard" that just does not sit right ! Men sometimes do not care about it---but women----oh my, will NEVER stand for it. Cupboards at my house beg to be filled !

I have a small upright freezer. It took up two and a quarter shelves. It was all wrapped and frozen. It usually lasts us about 1 yr. Than we get another quarter. Hope this helps.

Happy Birthday to you !!!!!

Have a great day, and do something for YOU !!!!!

Thankyou, thankyou ! Yes, I did just what I wanted to do.........nothing ! I drank coffee on the porch , ate everything dangerous to my body (ya know, chocolate, fig bars..) glass of wine, a good dinner...... it was lovely. Now tomorrow, that's another story. I have to be busy again.

Thanks for the BD wishes ! -- Cheryl

How very nice for you ! When you are cleaning and fixing it up---you are doing it for you and that will feel really good !

Yes----Happy Mothers Day to all ! Enjoy your day however you may !

Way up here on the Coast of Washington, I have rubarb and lettuce for eating. Everything else is planted and will be awhile before I can harvest. Our weather has been fab for a week now. Hope it continues !

We bought plastic garbage cans and drilled holes in the top, then turned the lids upside down on the top. We then wired the lids down to secure them. When I need water for my garden, I un-wire one side and dip my garden water can into it. Here in the NW, it rains alot so we hardley ever have them run dry.

We had a major storm 4-5 years back and had no water for 4 days. Those plastic garbage can rain barrels came in real handy for water needed to flush the toilet ! The nice part is---they are alot cheaper than the "fancy" rain barrels.

Wow ! -- Job well done ! You should feel really good about what you have accomplished for them (and you). I have been through a similar situation, and it is NOT easy. Do not forget to take care of yourself and your goals. It sounds like you are on your way !

kind regards , Cheryl

NICE !!!!

I like it !! --very cool !

Horsehollow --- trust me--you have come to the right place ! I learned all I could from these good people ! They are very responsible for guiding me in the right direction. I lurked on MS for years and just recently joined. You and I are the same age, and share the same feelings about this country. I will not rest until I am self-sufficient and depend on myself to rise to any occasion. Welcome aboard !

Thankyou all for the warm welcome !!! Happy to be on here !!
