    2023/2024/2025 Question of the Day Archive & Suggestions

    I can't be the only one who is finding this annoying. Is there any way to have consequences for the people who repeatedly ignore the one rule of this thread?

    Question of the Day - Friday, September 19th, 2025

    I do love pumpkin pie, and I like to add pumpkin pie spices to my coffee. I like the roasted seeds, too. I roast them in oil and garlic salt and make sure to undercook them a little, and then I have my husband hide them from me or else I'll eat them all in one sitting. When I make pickles I...

    Question of the Day - Friday, September 19th, 2025

    Pumpkins are my favorite, but not really to eat - their mere existence just makes me so happy. I think the main reason Autumn was my favorite season is because suddenly pumpkins are everywhere. Pumpkins are the reason my guest bedroom is painted a shade of orange. To eat? I love pickles, but I...

    Last Photo You Took?

    I love this, it's such a sweet idea! I will definitely be stealing it. My husband and I trade off deciding what we do for date night every week. The only rules are you can't get out of date night for any reason outside of illness or similar type emergencies, nothing involving watching TV or a...

    This sums up the only correct response to this question. The thread should have been locked after this.

    Yes! I came to a similar conclusion long ago, although I think my hypothesis settled on something like humankind's first successful breatharian.

    I think apples? Orange juice is better than apple juice, but apple juice is better for dying my hair. Both are great in baked goods, but my favorite stew is made with apple juice. My flying squirrel loves both, but I can't feed oranges to any of the other animals I own. So yeah - apples win.

    The Authentic Scavenger Hunt

    He's injured and convalescing in the tub for a few days, and decidedly unhappy about it. Next: a molting bird.

    Random Blindness

    If you don't have money, do you have access to mouse/rat traps or a pellet gun? If you can catch and kill some rodents, rabbits, and other pest animals around the property and give the carcasses to the chickens to eat, it would really help to offset the poor diet they're getting. You could also...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, September 16th, 2025

    I'm not sure why anyone would want them over a lemon meringue pie. Lemon desserts are pretty good, though. I hate sweet and love sour, and lemon does a great job canceling out the sweet.

    Gander crabby AGAIN???

    What do you do when he's being crabby? Where are you usually when he charges and bites, and how do you react? I try my best to respect the space of my geese when they're crabby - if I don't need to be in an area they're protecting at the moment, I don't go, or I'll give it as wide a berth as I...

    Does that ever work for you? I've read a bunch of stuff on how to trick your brain into quitting a spiral, but none of it is effective. I really feel for people whose brains can't let go. It's not fun.

    Question of the Day - Thursday, September 4th, 2025

    Yes! It is super annoying having to lug around a coat in the middle of summer because of those businesses! I think it's like that high pitched tone some places play in order to keep teenagers from loitering.

    Question of the Day - Thursday, September 4th, 2025

    Come to think of it, you're right! There were a lot of Canadians that would come down for training near where I was living at the time, and I remember talking to this one group around about June. The temp was in the mid 90s and I was enjoying the few odd days of pleasantly mild summer weather...

    Question of the Day - Thursday, September 4th, 2025

    Heat doesn't hurt. No matter how hot it gets, at least my lungs can work. When it gets cold any amount of breathing is a struggle because it's a fight against the air freezing the moisture in your organs. It doesn't even need to be that cold before I feel like I'm drowning, and exercising in...

    As someone originally from an area hot enough to make a Canadian burst into flames, I corrected your post.

    It's more uncomfortable being cold. It's easy to cool down in a hot environment, but cold is near impossible to mitigate.

    Question of the Day - Friday, September 5th, 2025

    Bagged. I have my mother-in-law's vacuum she bought the year my husband was born. I don't think people today always truly comprehend what we're telling them when we say, "Things were better made back in my day." It's not just nostalgia at work.

    Question of the Day - Saturday, September 6th, 2025

    Salt and Vinegar chips. I will finish a whole bag in one day. I once bought two bags, thinking the first bag would get it out of my system, and then I'd have the second bag to enjoy at my leisure over the course of the month. Nope. I found I'm like a labrador when it comes to salt and vinegar...
