    I am here...still fighting the DVA for my benefits that are mine; that I've earned; The American People proffered pending that I honor my part of the contract that I toke an oath to uphold AND now the professional politicians do not wish to "honor" that contract made to this professional...

    Calling all veterans and family members. Allies too.

    I had originally started a VETERANS DAY post a year ago and had my wedding picture and my "military" record upon my chest. DACJOHNS, as I soon learned, has quite sharp vision and the prerequisite 'attention to detail'; sent me an email querying about my statement as to my 2nd award of the Purple...

    guinea housing

    Ever since my "goony" birds were day-old pips, I've housed them with my regular flock; in the big coop. In fact, some of the chickens act like the guineas until it's flying time. After two months the goonies are still in the coop at dusk and raise a ruckus at 0450; which is the time the...

    What brand computer should i get?

    To FCM I agree with you on your 3 factors regarding Mac computers,especially the third. Every time a new MAC OS comes out, none of the older software works, you have to go out and buy all new versions of the same stuff. That's odd! Up until a few years ago, one could only buy parts...

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    what's the point of patting dry, the herbs, with paper towels? If you're going to shove these in ice cube trays and fill with water, why waste money on paper towels? Brain fart?

    my favorite is either paper thin slices of zukes deep-fried or stuffed zuke flowers then dipped and fried...a big bowl of marinara sauce and grated cheese yummy!!

    Calling all veterans and family members. Allies too.

    It never ceases to amaze me, that those that come from North of the Mason- Dixon line always call"it" the "Civil War?" There wasn't a thing civil about any of it! Here in the Deep South... "it" was the war between the states; a difference of opinion that got blown out of proportion by a bunch...

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    carugoman--were you SF? Dacjohns, If you're referencing SF to Semper Fidelis... I was 8 years; US Army, 16 years; USAF. I was a combat engineer in the army, then I was "air commandos" in the air force; more specifically- RED HORSE + PRIME BEEF. Suffice it to say, I jumped out of many...

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    You must not have been to southern WV or the eastern panhandle, Carugoman! You have to lean OUT of your car window to see the top of some of these hill farms! I grew up just NE of Elkins, WVA. We grew diagonal/ horizontal crops,hehe! What I was referring to was the way the camera was held...

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    Dacjohns, Now let it be known, that I'm no expert on coffee horticulture. That being said, I've been to Yemen and Kenya,and You're right- it's an arid part of the world. Although I haven't been to the coffee plantations there, I have been told that it does get humid enough in the...

    The village; Modena, in Italy; the place made famous for its style of vinegar [balsamic], is also famous for its cuisine...The best place in Europe to have, you guessed it, horse meat ragu. Or stewed or pan-fried...for get about it, I'd rather call it "trigger" and ride swiftly out of town!

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    It takes a certain type of environment for a coffee bush to thrive. My understanding of this: soil should be igneous and near where coconut palms thrive-so tropical temps and humidity seem to be necessary. The biggest factor affecting coffee's habitat is elevation...it needs at least 3400 feet...

    well,gee, buc, here I was thinking these past 50 years, that a 'bale' was a three- dimensional object, more commonly referred to as a 'cube?' Here, I went and got a master's degree in mathematics...that info must've been in the doctorate program, ya think?

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    This salmonella "crisis" has nothing to do with tomatoes in California, but maybe some sensationalism by some zealot journalist that wants to make a 'name' for themselves. The so-called outbreak scare happened back in March, in New York and in Massachusetts, with imported tomatoes that have...

    Moral Conundrum -- The "Bartering Eggs For Coffee" WILL HAPPEN!

    purslane is not the same as a moss rose i.e. the garden variety of portulaca! It's like saying since eggplants are edible, therefore nightshade is edible too! If you try it...you're dead...and quickly.

    DC, I am also, disabled, having my left leg amputated. I didn't know about your mum so I apologize if I had given any offense. I only mention the cardboard method as a no-dig,no till method of gardening. Personally, I eat the purslane. Purslane contains a high dose of Vitamin C and...

    I don't shop in Pcola thankfully, because the price per bale for June 2008 is $3 per 100 lbs and I bought 250 bales one week ago on the 4th of June. With it being so hot and dry this spring it's been tough to grow enough fescues and grains in the pastures to cover my horses, mules and goats...

    I'm paying $3/100lb bermuda bale, but I have to go pick up and load. It's no problem since it's 11 miles away, gives the neighbor boys something to do and the younger one gets to "practice" driving a flatbed dumper with manual trans. I have two mammoth jakes and they just enjoy the bermuda...

    DC, In your photos, it appears like you have chicory, purslane and miner's lettuce growing all around your fancy city- girl raised beds? When purslane (portulaca odorfera grows in a garden or a field, that's an excellent indicator that the soil has all the nutrients it needs to grow almost...
