    Concern about missing members

    Damn. That's over the line.

    Concern about missing members

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Dr. Jenner's one of the people I was looking forward to 'seeing' again when I came back. :(

    Vintage family stuff

    Haha - seems unlikely then. 😁 The crown made me think of things I've seen amongst my Canadian cousins, and saw that you were from Canada, so... Now I've got nuth'n.

    Neat! Could that have something to do with Canadian history? The crown makes me wonder - perhaps a commemoration of some kind.

    "SURVIVAL" Easter Candy............??????????

    Lol, there rarely seems to be any middle ground when it comes to black jelly beans. Love 'em or hate 'em. 😅 When I was a teenager I always had a figure skating competition the weekend after Easter - so no Easter baskets full of candy for me, always had to eat healthy before competition. But as...

    Alcohol Prepping

    I have thought that in a true SHTF/post-apoc world, it would be a necessity for things like cleaning utensils for medical preparations, other things along those lines. A couple years ago we had a tornado go through nearby and we were without power and water. I am no germ-phobe, but yowzers, it...

    I Remember When . . .

    I believe being able to wander around at a young age helped us to be more capable as we grew up. We knew how to behave in stores/libraries, how to understand and watch for traffic, how to navigate, how to manage time... All sorts of things that are lost today. I remember being one of the...

    I Remember When . . .

    I remember riding around in the bed of a truck, as many of us as would fit. I remember loving the pop up seats in the back of the country squire wagon. I remember calling collect. I remember being 9 years old and riding my bike several miles to town and spending the day there wandering around...

    Nut oils

    That article is interesting. Thanks, @randyt. We have quite a few bitternuts - I wouldn't have thought they would be good for any foraging. Cooking oil is something I'd like to be able to produce myself - for both health and preparedness. Due to inflammation I'm restricted to olive oil and...

    Home made remedies for pets!

    The universe must be telling me to give my pets pumpkin. For a couple weeks nows I've been hearing about it from all sorts of unrelated places. Maybe I should grow and can it for my furbabies.

    Do You want a "FAR" better experience on this "FORUM"........???

    Lady, you are one of the sweetest people here! Even your 'smarty comments' are sweet. 😅

    Do You want a "FAR" better experience on this "FORUM"........???

    I don't think using the ignore button is high school at all. It's a tool. Sure, it could become a crutch if overused. But especially in the case of personality conflicts, it can help keep threads from devolving into pissing matches (and that's good for everyone). No one has to use it, but it...

    Two new laws

    Well, students all across the country are doing SO well with their reading and math, teachers just have so much free time in the classroom. I'm sure they appreciate all the non-teachers dictating how they should fill all that free time. <sarcasm off> :rolleyes: I did hear about the bar exam...

    What's Everybody Canning?

    @Magpie, thank you for posting that! I've never made lemon curd and need to do that (been saying so for years :oops:). Love that stuff on shortbread cookies. Yum!

    New territory with cat's health

    @Patchouli, that's one pretty floof-girl. 🩷 Yay for activity and litter box proof!

    Concern about missing members

    You caught me! 😅 I'm sneaking around here, trying to get caught up on everyone. Gonna take me a while! 😂 I'm really awful at staying on top of things, but I'm going to try to at least dip my toes back in the water here. You all are the best - there are just too many good people here for me to...

    What's everybody doing today?

    Middle son (the one who had the bone marrow transplant) just headed out the door. He got a job this past week, and is now looking for an apartment. Getting a sense of normalcy back! This recovery has been a long road - harder and longer than expected - and there's still more to go. But I am so...

    And THIS is why I refuse to eat anything made in China...

    Yeah, that's the thing. The stuff we know about is nothing compared to the stuff we don't about.

    And THIS is why I refuse to eat anything made in China...

    :barf: Yet another reason to be producing our own food (gotta tell my hubby this one).
