    His cardboard sign simply said "Just Hungry"

    As people are out of work and unemployment benefits begin to run out, I think we are going to see more of this.... some scammers will be out but there will also be people who are in real need and the only thing that is greater than their pride will be their need to feed their children. I think...

    What would you do if you were President?

    I would stop bailing out and micro-managing everything. There is a reason banks and businesses fail and they will either 1. learn from their mistakes and be better at business because of it or 2. get out of the way for a better business to take its' place. I second the fair tax. We spend an...

    How do I use this waterer?

    Ok... DH went to Lowes and got the adapter and it now works BUT how do I adjust it, how far do I fill the ball thing underneath... basically, how do I set it up to work. There were no instructions with it and I don't know what I am doing. Thanks so much.

    Day 22... When Do I Give Up?

    It is Day 22. Out of 12 eggs, one had a blood ring and never formed and another never formed and was culled at 14 days. Five have hatched already. The other five have done nothing... no pips, zips, nothing. How long should I give them before I open them up? I tried to candle last night...

    What is the difference between fryers and roasters?

    Can I add a question to this??? If you use a Cornish, can you also fry them, boil for chicken pie, etc or is another type of bird better for that? I guess what I'm asking is are they multipurpose as far as recipes go or typically a leave whole and roast bird? Thanks so much.

    How do I use this waterer?

    I bought a waterer off of Craigslist that looks like this... http://hickory.craigslist.org/grd/1103016836.html The person I bought from said you can attach it to a 5 gallon bucket but... I have no idea how to do that and what parts I need to make that work. Any help would be appreciated.
