    Several Weeks Later

    Christmas came early this year!!! On August 25th, I found my first eggs!!!! They are small - I thought NJs were supposed to lay large white eggs? Doesn't matter...maybe they'll get bigger as the girls get older. I am so EGGCITED!!!

    Five Weeks

    Week Five - And a New Bit of Scenery! The babies were complaining about their cramped quarters, and (of course) we I don't have the coop built yet, so I searched for another alternative. Turns out that my darling man has a 1980s Dodge Ram in the backyard with a cap. He gave me the...

    Once upon a time, in a very small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a banty hen made a nest in a neighbor's yard. Little did the neighbors know that their lives were going to be changed forever... Growing up in the suburbs of D.C., I never considered that I would someday have...

    New Forum Banners @ Bottom Of Forum - You Can Advertise Here!

    Hey Nifty! Can we run banner ads for causes rather than for products and/or services? Not political stuff, but, for instance, I'm getting more involved in ovarian cancer awareness. Would I be allowed to run a banner for that? Thanks - and I think this is a terrific idea! Beth

    Can you help me with a school project??? (Ovarian Cancer Awareness...)

    Thank you for your nice note... I believe whole heartedly in the power of prayer, so I thank you. The timing is a bit much to take. I'm a Christmas freak, and I haven't even put up any lights yet. Christmas shopping is a chore. Yet, at the same time, it's helping me to remember that we are...

    Can you help me with a school project??? (Ovarian Cancer Awareness...)

    Just wanted to update you... I gave my presentation last night and it was really well received. Thanks to all who gave input! On a not-so-happy note, though, I got a phone call yesterday and received the worst news I can think of. Mom's ovarian cancer is back. She's going on Tamoxifen to...

    Hardboiled backyard eggs - trouble with peeling them - help?

    Hi all - I once again made deviled eggs last night, and once again, some of the eggs ended up peeling strangely. I never had this problem with store-bought, so this escapes me. I did nine eggs last night and two of them did it - I did the light smash and roll method to start the peel, but...

    Can you help me with a school project??? (Ovarian Cancer Awareness...)

    Thank you to those who responded...and to the BYC member who PM-ed me. I am trying to make this presentation as person-oriented as possible. I have a lot of statistics - for instance, did you know that there are over 30 types of ovarian cancer??? Jeepers... I'd love to hear more stories if...

    Christmas lights

    Before I moved to my teeny town, I always did a huge light display - one year I won a ribbon! Now that I have the perfect farmhouse to decorate my darling man is worried about the electic bill (and I have FOURTEEN 1'x 3' x 1'-ish crates of Christmas decorations PLUS several wreaths and a...

    Can you help me with a school project??? (Ovarian Cancer Awareness...)

    Hi all - I am one of those "it's never too late to go back to school" people. My daughter (who's now teaching English in South Korea and working on her master's degree) talked me into finally doing it. So now I'm taking and Honors English (Argument) class and I have a final paper coming up...
