I've wanted a Wedgewood or O'Keefe and Merritt stove for so long, but never dreamed I've ever be able to afford one. Opportunity is knocking now, at an incredible price. But, I really don't know much about them, and have always had trouble finding much information on them. Do any of you have...

ALL of my 45 Christmas menus have included turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, etc, etc. A rerun of the traditional Thanksgiving menu. And, we've never given it a second thought before, because we all LOVE leftovers. Some of the leftovers are even better the second time around. However........this...

Anybody else been busy cutting, stirring, and prepping for tomorrow's big feast? Got the pies done first (pumpkin, pecan, chocolate - and a cheesecake). Sweet potato casserole is ready for warm up, rolls are rising, ham's baked, sliced and ready for warm up, veggies are cut, Frog's Eye Salad...

I'm just looking for opinions here. I've never sold anything via craigslist, but I listed a couple items on our local craigslist a couple days ago. Yesterday, I got an email from someone asking only "Is it for sale". This particular item is listed in the books section with a price marked in...

A bit of history first: This past Saturday, I discovered one of the more shy EE hens has bumblefoot. I separated her from the rest of the flock and began treating with the only antibiotic (Duramycin-10 [Tetracycline]) I could find locally on a Saturday. As a precautionary measure, I also...

Went to the henhouse mid-morning yesterday for an egg check and was able to pick up one of the EEs who never lets me get that close to her. I always check their feet due to their constant unearthing of old nails and pieces of broken glass, in spite of my constant combing of their run. At any...

This is Taz. He was a January 1, 2009 hatch. He's a beautiful, healthy, virile boy! He makes the third roo in our flock of 30 hens and there's just a bit too much testosterone flowing. He's my daughter's and she's looking to get $15 or best offer for him. Sorry, I won't ship, but would be...

Anybody heard of this? I took my MIL to see her lawyer today and he started talking up this therapy to her (she has terminal lung cancer). Course, he gave the whole, "I'm not a doctor, have NO medical background" shpeel. But, he said he has a client who was diagnosed with Prostatic Cancer...

Back in September, I found a little Chihuahua dog in my fully fenced, gates always closed yard. Called the Humane Society to give them a description of the dog and my info. Once upon a time, they would gratefully accept any offer to foster a stray, as they are always so full, particularly in...

Anybody have a tried and true Praline Pecan recipe? I was sure I'd seen one here before, but my search came up with nothing. Thanks in advance! Topic/Subject edited to more accurately describe what it is that I am looking for. Subject edited again to reflect my new need for advice.

You know, there truely are few things in life that really touch you emotionally. Marriage, the birth of a child, the death of a loved one. I've had the honor and privilege of being a part (twice) of a different kind of deeply moving event. Our Interstate 17 was dedicated as an Arizona...

So many threads, so many thoughts turning toward the holidays have me thinking...... I'll be making something extra special for the adults in our family this year. In the past, gifts for the adults always range from something really fun, to baskets full of homemade goods, to fancy. This...

It's horrendous! Hit me at 3 am Tuesday and didn't let up until about 4 am today. And, I still don't feel back to par, just upright. Haven't eaten since Monday. In fact, Tuesday morning alone, I lost 5 pounds, and a total of 8 after this thing. The last time I experienced anything like...

I was down taking a couple pics of my youngest hen today and took these. Up first is Rhett (who was to be Scarlet until I realized at about 8 weeks she would crow someday! LOL). He's my gorgeous 27 week old RIR roo. He towers over everybody, and really does over my papa roo, Sparky. That's...

I have a question for you MTs here. When I was transcribing last (3 years ago), I bought a Panasonic Transcriber. I've got less than about 20 hours on it. I didn't use it in the office, and after I left the office, I thought I might go into transcribing at home, but that never came to be. At...

I took my MIL to the hospital for a procedure yesterday morning. When they came to get her, I went out to run a quick errand. I (truly by accident) went out the entrance by the hospital gift shop. This little treasure was sitting out on the clearance rack outside the shop door. I couldn't...

DH just emailed this to me. It is the funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time, maybe EVER. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash my face and put my makeup back on.....

Hi, I'm chicken-mama and I'm a bawkaholic. It started 3 years ago when I decided I wanted "only" 5 hens and a rooster. Just for fun, but also for a 'few' eggs. My little flock had grown to about 20. Until this year that is........ I took in 10 chicks, then a broody hatched a loner who now...

I know all you expert builders out there will think this silly, but when I consider the fact that I don't build anything outside of the kitchen (salad, cake, cookies, pasta, etc), I'm pretty proud of this little charmer. My broody and her lone, 5 week old chick have tired of the solitary...

I have 3, 8 week old Polish chicks who are beginning to show signs of their gender, I think. I'd love to hear opinions from all the experts out there as to pullet/cockeral on these three. Here's Pancho. He won't let me see him attempting to crow, but I'm sure it's him I've been hearing. He...
