@Perchie.Girl... I'd like to try one of those jumbo guineas. I've never tried guinea or guinea eggs. I'd also like to have some in hopes they will deal with some of the snakes around here and be an alarm for the chickens. McMurray Hatchery has them.

Okay my ladies of wisdom, I am out of dryer sheets. I don't want to go into town just to buy some. Any suggestions on alternatives that will keep static out of my clothes and make them soft?

Line dried clothes are not static-y, but they aren't "soft" either. They are crisp and clean.

Try some vinegar. White vinegar should go the trick. If not I'll give you your money back for the bad advise. LOL

I need to get a line, I don't have one right now. Most of the times it is so dusty here they would end up dirtier than when I put them in the wash

Have you guys tried the homemade laundry powder or detergent? Now that I think about it, I have actually been out of dryer sheets for probably 3 months but my clothes were still soft and I never had a problem with static...hmmm. But I don't have many "fancy" clothes to wash either. lol I bought some more dryer sheets the other day but it was because I read that if you rub one on you it helps keep mosquitos away.

ya got an old piece of cloth? Just pour a dab on the cloth (NOT MUCH) and throw it in the dryer with the clothes.

Oh me oh my, don't try that! LOL You put it in when you wash them, probably best in the rinse water. I'm not sure how much I use when I do use it, maybe start with 1/2 a cup and see how that does. White or ACV should work.

I have tried to get my man to put me up a new clothesline... for too long! I guess I'm either going to have to whine or do it myself! lol

Could be worse, a friend of mine lives close to a river and she won't have a clothesline because her clothes would smell like dead fish! Pewww! LOL
