    Those living in the city or the barley rural.... How many chickens??

    City allows three hens without a permit. I got me four chicks (just in case something happens to one--which at 4 weeks old now isn't a very likely scenario now and none are looking like roos). So i guess I'm going outlaw with four. Also my lot is only 50' by 100'. Pretty typical lot size...

    Good news stories about global warming

    Quote: BTW- gravity is a theory too. So are atoms, and time. The term theory, doesn't make it wrong or not fact. You need to do some research into the scientific method. Theory doesn't mean guess. I'm tired of people that always claim that theory=hypothesis. United States National...

    Good news stories about global warming

    It's naive to say that as humans we have no impact on the climate of the planet. We've killed entire species, destroyed forests, there is a giant island of discarded plastic floating in the pacific. And though the lingo has changed, it's still global warming. Things seem cooler cause the...

    The Ideal Place to Live

    I'd think some place like Little Rock would be alright. Lexington Kentucky (probably one of the friendliest places I've ever been- and there is only 4 states left for me to visit) isn't bad either. Both are good towns. But I'd still stay in Portland. I couldn't imagine living anywhere...

    Would/do you kill a chicken to eat?

    My kids named my hens, but if push came to shove I wouldn't have any problems with Honeybunny soup or BBQ Mother Clucker.

    In need of Spring break ideas...(little to no cost)

    I think they're still looking for help rebuilding New Orleans. Check with Habitat for Humanity. You can drive there or ride share. If you've skills you might even be able to have the trip and lodging paid for. I don't know if they are doing this, but I looked into about two years ago when it...

    Questions for the DIY painters..veneer cabinets?

    Sanding and priming is a must on painting a veneered surface. Oil paint is a better option over acrylic. It's more durable and less likely to chip. however it has a much longer drying time, and is more expensive. But personally, if you get away from using the cabinets for a week I think the...

    Thoughts on Universal healthcare

    Sicko is the best of the Moore films by far (Rodger and Me was great--the others are pretty much garbage). But it does open ones eyes to the problem when Cuba makes a mockery of our system, and not by words but by actions for those unfamiliar with the film.

    Thoughts on Universal healthcare

    I have a job and medical and dental insurance. I also have compassion for my neighbors. I know that even with this job and insurance that either could go at anytime, I could have benefits denied even with the good coverage I have (and in fact I have been denied benefits). I know that...
