    Mothers Day without Mom

    No you are not wrong at all. Some days are just sad days when we have lost someone but having your own children around helps you deal with loss and grief. Besides, as you are a mum it is your mother's day too. I'm sure you MIL would agree with me.

    Mothers Day without Mom

    That is very sad. It always hard to lose a loved one but a mum is very special. I'm sure you feel that she is never-the-less close to you in all you do.

    Anyone take Dave Ramseys Financial Peace University Class??

    So let me summarise. You are saying that this chap gives financial advice about living within one's means and advice on how to avoid/get out of debt. He uses the church then merely as a meeting point for his classes. He encourages his students to give a proportion of their income to their...

    Anyone take Dave Ramseys Financial Peace University Class??

    Is there not something slightly sinister about this sort of thing being associated with a church though? We read of these churches that make a lot of money I can only hope they are using it for the poor?

    Anyone take Dave Ramseys Financial Peace University Class??

    I say do not get involved. If I am correct this is someone who makes money giving others investment advice. It's like these people who write books on how to profit from your unique ideas. The only ones to profit are the authors, who sell millions of copies to desperate people. There is something...

    Great Depression of 2016

    Farmer Mike I have always understood it is best to spread your investments, and buying small, gold jewellery can be a good investment. You must however be very wary. If you bought a diamond ring for lets say £1000 ($15000) today, I can assure you that you could not get anything like that back if...

    New goats and pen

    My advice if you are new to goat keeping is check the fences every day. They are amazing escape artists. We had a break out of two pygmy goats today. I was the only one at home, and I couldn't shepherd them back into their field, much less repair the fence. I ended up putting horses lead ropes...

    Cats!!!

    We are in a similar position with 13 cats since the people left the farm down the road and just abandoned them. We suspect we have kittens on the way as well! We are having our boys neutered as it is cheaper and there are no other cats around here.

    help dog attacked

    Bless his heart I feel so sorry for your elderly neighbour and the whole situation. The most wonderful thing that has happened for him though is that he has neighbours who are unstinting in their care and concern for him and his pets. I hope you know that you really are quite remarkable people!

    Great Depression of 2016

    Even if every adult of working age did work though, they would still have to pay taxes in order to finance the country. Whether it is taken out of earnings or as a purchase tax, it still has to be collected by the government.

    Help! Too many bunnies!

    It is good lean meat but I think people have a fondness for bunnies. Also, because they are kept as children's pets, some feel it would be like eating the family pet.

    Children and Chickens -what are we teaching?

    I have an answer to this constant sniping by neighbours who take it into their heads to complain over the most ludicrous issues. Make litigation so prohibitively expensive that no one in their right mind would even consider going to court over these trivialities. Then maybe people would have the...

    Great Depression of 2016

    The difficulty of such a large country as the US is that any system can become unworkable. It would appear that each state has the autonomy to set the level of purchase tax and local taxes. This could lead to disparity between both prosperity and standards of living around the country. I can't...

    Chicken sitter from HELL!

    I am so sorry for your loss, what a tragedy! As you hired this person you have the right to A) know what went on and why they neglected and then abandoned the chickens, and B) have a full refund of your payment to them at the very least! I know this will not bring your chickens back but I also...
