    Beavers - destroying my trees:(

    I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for dealing with destructive beavers. Please don't state the obvious......killing them or relocating them. We don't live by the river where the property is being affected and the river is well traveled in the summer season so we don't want the...

    What do you use a UV flashlight for?

    I went looking for some UV flashlights to give as gifts for some kids. They go camping and look for rocks that 'glow'. They also have lots of fun with them when they play b/c it makes their shoelaces and white clothes glow. I remember my kids going midnight bowling and playing lazer tag at a...

    The War on Children

    I haven't seen the whole video yet, so I'm parking it here for later. It's very interesting so far, yet so sad on so many levels. https://hugh.cdn.rumble.cloud/video/s8/2/E/q/g/1/Eqg1p.Faa.mp4

    Local fundraising event - anyone with experience?

    I'm just tossing an idea out there. There is a lady that works part time in one of our local establishments. I have gotten to know her a bit just through normal business interactions. She's a sweet soul who I would consider a friend, albeit not a really close friend. She's been to my house...

    Motivation - where do you find it?

    I thought this might be a fun thread to toss out there. Some days I have a difficult time trying to get motivated to do things that need to be done. Some days I'm on a constant run and doing all kinds of things. Other days, I struggle to get out of the chair.🪑 Most of the time, I fall...

    Make your own butter

    I found this video on how to make your own butter using cream and your own food processor in 10 minutes. I thought it was interesting and thought some of you might find it useful as well. If the video doesn't play for you, here's the gist of it: Put real cream in a blender or food processor...

    Ridding the body of the radiation of X-rays

    Hubby needs to go in for some X-rays. Very few people think X-rays are anything to worry about, but I do. I have done a bit of research to find out how to rid the radiation of the body after the procedure. I found this article below helpful even though it's not dental x-rays that will be...

    Consider preparing for a Black Out or Grid Down situation

    I found this today but I don't know when it actually aired b/c I loathe that lyin' b$#@h! The sound of her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. :mad: https://media.gab.com/system/media_attachments/files/149/657/563/playable/19db98b9b24f2ef2.mp4 They might as well just scream to the...

    Looking for Mattress Suggestions

    I got a new mattress about a month ago and I hate it. I spent $1800 on it and it doesn't have a sleep guarantee. It's a good named spring mattress but it felt way more comfortable in the store. It had a soft feel to it, but the one we got is not soft. It's killing my hips and shoulders b/c I...

    Dirty Bomb.....what would you do?

    I really don't know the difference between a dirty bomb and a nuke, except that they are both bad. I feel like I am much more prepared for a nuke. I have the testing equipment even though I'm not necessarily proficient in using it. I've messed with it a bit, but it's not something I unpack...

    Let's talk Supplements

    I've never been one to take many supplements b/c I thought eating a balanced diet would provide all the vitamins and nutrients that I would need. However, as I'm getting older with more aches and pains, I'm reconsidering that stance. I think our food supply has been manipulated to the point of...

    MEGA corporations coming down?

    I don't know what ever happened to our anti-trust laws in the USA, but the Dept. of Justice apparently doesn't care much about those laws since we have consolidated wealth at the top of the markets. Here's a thread where we discussed those companies...

    Storing LTS food in an old refrigerator

    I was wondering what you all think of storing LTS canned food in an old non-working frig or freezer? I'd like to diversity my storage spots and am wondering if I could store cans this way with a couple of moisture absorber packs that I get from the dollar store. If the door were shut, it would...

    Dollar Stores

    I was recently at Dollar Tree and was stocking up on some things. An older guy came along and was grumbling that he heard prices were going up again. I did a quick search online and didn't really see anything new, but apparently Dollar Tree is going to implement Dollar Tree Plus which will...

    Foldable bike for emergency transportation

    I have just starting looking for a decent foldable bike to store in my trunk to use if I'm out of town. I like to stay pretty close to home, but it simply isn't always possible. I have a conference in a couple of months and it's about 2 hours away. Not only would it be nice to have a bike for...
