You know, I found Laura's thread about her small town and I sure miss it since its been shut down because of a few complaints. I know I had to check in at least twice a day to catch up on the thread. Y'all posted alot!!! I just miss her "Mayberry"<pun on the real show> stories about some of her neighbors which I found entirely enteraining. I sure hope we could start another thread and just talk about the things that happen in our every day life, whether its significant or not.
Today, I learned to make tomatoe juice. My Mom taught me. She's been canning for years but this is something I felt I needed to learn as I think alot of skills and trades that our parents took for granted or was just common place knowledge is something many of us will need to learn again. Things like gardening and when to harvest and how to preserve. I guess Im trying to become self suffiecent. Probably why I also have chickens. Not sure I could ever process them if I had to, but then again, maybe one day I'll have to. I also learned to can green beans.
Why do they call it canning when you put it in jars?
I am miserable at my job. Agreements made when I took the job has been changed. I have found out its mostly jealousy because I make alot as a groomer. But, the changes made werent what I agreed to when I took the job so Im considering leaving if I get another job somewhere else. I have decided I want to be happy and Im not happy anymore. Course, there's probably alot of people out there who arent happy with thier jobs but keep them as I am now because its better than being unemployed in this economy.
I have three dogs, thirteen chickens<counting the rooster who might one day take a bath in my crockpot>, too many cats to but I claim but I think around ten<two permanent indoor cats and two that go out when they want> two parakeets, one cockateil, and a horse. I have been divorced since 98. Sometimes it gets pretty lonely but I like being able to come and go as I please and nobody gets on my case if the house isnt spotless. The animals dont care.
Well, thats my ramble for the night.
Miss everyone from Lauras thread, thats why I named the topic the way I did. Hope I didnt offend anyone.
