Official Squatch Watchers

I saw one of those tubs today at Restore, they wanted $175. For it! Robbery! I do love them though, grandma had one.
We saw one sitting in someone's field near a road not far from here. It's pretty grotesque looking, but I'm going to stalk that tub and do a very slow driveway to assess it's condition. You're right; they're ridiculously expensive these days.
 
It's totally inconvenient that we're rural on a couple of acres of land, with BLM across the road, and yet Starbucks is ten dang minutes down the road.

My closest Starbucks is more than 60 miles away.

Tell me about it. I live in a town that has 1 street light, but 4 pizza places (it was 5, but one closed last year). Why we need so many pizza places, IDK... but instead of a Taco Bell we got a Pizza Hut 2 years ago.

No restaurants within 3 towns either direction. Closest is about 25 miles, unless you count wally world which is 18 miles.

ETA: Morning all:frow
 
There is a starbucks INSIDE the grocery store and another less then half a mile away here.
:th
We have these inside the grocery stores too and one on pretty much every other street!
 
#3 is the lie! My kids were born in June & August.
#1 - My 2 1/2 cousin is a result of my mom's first cousin and my first cousin on my dad's side getting married and having a child. Apparently they don't have a real name for that so 2 1/2 cousin it is. Oddly enough that's not the only time my family tree has crossed. My dad's sister married my mom's brother. AND My ex-husband married my brother's ex-wife's aunt. There ARE people here I'm not related to that people could marry, but apparently you have to drive more than 1/2 a mile and attend functions that don't include family members.
#2 - I got ran over by a go-cart when I was 8 and it cut through my thigh down to the bone. They managed to sew it back up, but it got badly infected. I missed months of school and couldn't walk for months.
:eek:
 
I lived in a log cabin in Alaska years ago. My plumbing was a five gallon bucket and an outhouse. :p

The good old days!

Our only heat source is a wood stove, which I adore ... well, okay ... I'm in Henry the Rooster's Recovery Room and am sitting in front of a space heater. But mostly we just have the wood heat and dry our clothes near the stove during winter. It doesn't look too pretty, though. We also used the ceiling fan for socks and underwear, until we replaced that old honking thing with a new one.

I'd like to make an Amish style drying rack for the clothes so clothes aren't strung all around the house when it's raining. We had tons and tons of rain last winter and spring. It was like a constant underwear and clothes drying factory in here.

You can buy a wooden folding drying rack pretty cheep at Walmart. I saw I really neat idea on Pinterest.

There are also retractable lines you can string up.
