A neighbor gave us some yellow squash. What is the best way to fix it? (I have done the simple thing of just cooking it in a pan with butter, and that was good, but looking for other simple ideas.) Keep in mind that I am not an experienced cook. My wife is sick and not up to cooking. Any...

I vote for "pwn3d!" Or using "teh" for "the" [intentional] Others "slanguage" from these whippersnappers on their new-fangled innerwebs that bugs ya? Or that makes you ROTFL? Your favorite? [edit typo]

Would love to hear creative, simple, and fun party ideas for kids ages 8 to 12. One thing I have thought of is making their own invitations. My wife suggested making a pinata. Any other ideas for games, contests, party favors, etc.? that the "host" kids will enjoy preparing and the kids at the...

Anyone do paperbackswap.com, swaptree.com, etc? Experiences? I'm particularly interested in paperbackswap.com, because it looks like you do not have to post credit card info as you do for swaptree. Any good / bad experiences to share? Worth doing? Thanks

I am writing an article for The Old Farmer's Almanac about the Amish. I have noticed that quite a few folks on BYC know Amish people. I'd be interested to hear what you think is the most interesting part of their culture. Also, what MYTHS about the Amish have you heard? Thanks for any insight!

Any suggestions for supplements, vitamins, or even foods that can help with low energy and clinical depression? Thanks!

Just ran across a helpful website that has reviews of various hatcheries. Here is the link to the reviews of Cackle Hatchery, but to look up another one just use the Search function in the upper right-hand corner. http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/4436/ [Mods: I am aware that we are...

Has anyone had experience with: 1.) Egyptian Fayoumis 2.) Golden Campines (or Silver) 3.) Red Caps ? ? ? I don't see much on these breeds here and am wondering what their temperaments, etc. are like. Pics would be great, too. Thanks! --Sitka

Is it OK to feed hogs raw eggs from a home flock? Shells-on OK? Thanks.

I've observed that if you want to see the best of what BYC has to offer, look at just about any post. If you want to see the worst (true for any other forum) just look at a thread about politics or religion. The majority of these get UN-civil fast and end up getting locked. To be honest, I...

My wife and I are big "cat people." It has been a rough week for us. Our wonderful guy Scooter has been battling hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, and liver problems, and on Wednesday he had an apparent embolism. The vets could not do anything and we had to put him to sleep. I was with him and...

I have noticed several times in the last few days that some people will post a thread and then if they do not get a response within a few minutes (literally) will post again saying, "Hello" or "Anyone?" etc. I certainly understand that it's hard to be patient, but please wait for responses...

What does the abbreviation LF stand for? By the context, it seems to be a breed, but I can't think of what it could be. Thanks.

I'm sure I have been guilty of this myself, so I don't mean this critically ( ) , but I have noticed a lot of threads lately that have very vague titles that don't let you know what the post is about. For example, something like "Check this out" or "what is wrong?" We all have limited time...

Is a naked neck like Turkens have dominant or recessive? How about Easter Egger-style muffs / beards? Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I have had this happen twice: A hen sets, all is well. Until....A day or two before the eggs are due to hatch, I check on the hen and find the hen pacing back and forth, very upset, and no eggs left in the nest. Not only that, but no evidence of egg shells or anything. Am guessing this has to...

The other day I posted a paper shredder on craigslist. A guy responded and we agreed to meet halfway between where we lived for him to pick it up. The shredder was new and I had priced it at $30 --- a good price since I think ones like it cost about $50 in the store. He had asked me if I had...

Here's my vote: Kid vs. Rooster [edit to correct link]

Was talking to my aunt recently and she mentioned that at one time they had "some of those chickens that lay green eggs....I can't remember what they're called.....oh, yeah! Anacondas!!!!!" I didn't have the heart to correct her (or laugh).

What's your favorite hatchery catalog? I so enjoy looking at hatchery catalogs --- like how the old timers used to call the Sears catalog a "wish book." I like the Murray McMurray catalog because of the many illustrations and because I have looked at it for the last 25 years. The only...
