I don’t know if I can survive another depression or not, but I will go until I can’t go any further.
I know a lot more than my mother did, and of course I am 3 times older, they had it hard as many people did.
I didn’t take the time to answer the test, as I can’t do any of the things on it, so it wouldn’t mean a lot, it has been more than 4 years, since I went to a store in town, or so Scott told me tonight, I skipped one of those years.
Stay safe.
I’m hoping TAC will do her magic on this thread and create files for us to keep and refer to.<<<
Vickie can do magic, she has proven that on thread #1.
Yes they are online rareseeds.com
Thanks for the links, and do post any time that you would like, there are so many sites and many of them have something of interest on them.
I bookmarked your links, see several there that I want to read.
Morgan Stanley and AIG bought 2 Billion bushels of cereal grain and withheld it to artificially inflate commodity prices???
So when they went bust it was because they were speculating in commodities like grain and oil??
And we bailed out AIG. Thats BS!
Since I have a small incubator, I have 4 batches already spoken for - people wanting some of their own a bit later in the spring. Geeesh almost 3 months of incubating...
Every rooster I've owned has been one mean son of a gun. I used to have to keep a 'rooster stick' by the front door - never left home without it for fear of being attacked.
Where I live now there's a lone rooster that lives in the woods next to my house. He used to have a few ladies but because of one mishap or another, they're all gone now. I hear him daily and see him once in a while when he strays into my yard. I'm hoping he'll be attracted to my hens. I feel so bad for him, they're social critters and like companions.
Ive never had an incubator, I might have to get one of them someday. The grandkiddies would be fascinated.
How are the summers there? We were in Corpus for a while and had to leave - the 95+ degree temperature combined with the 90+% humidity drove us out. But...the plants sure loved it! The acre or so we had there probably would’ve been a good idea when TSHTS (IF we had the electricity to run the A/C day and night)
Thank you.
Summers are hot but I have a little pool that gets a lot of use. I have central A/C and my summer bills are high. I live alone (except when an grandchild or two or three sleep over) and I'm thinking of getting a window A/C - especially for night time use. Why cool all that square footage when I'm in one room . . .
Ace hardware has wicks and oil. they also have replacement chimneys.
Thank you. I’m sorry you couldn’t see the video.
I had bottom of the barrel tenants. Twice I had to get evictions for non-payment of rent. That takes two months here and a tenant can do a lot of damage in 60 days.
I posted what I found on the moon signs here, sorry I missed the fact that it did not have your name on the post.

I’ll have to keep track of this section. I ordered peanuts for the garden this year. Don’t know how well they’ll do, but thought it would be fun to try.<<<<
Yes it would be fun to try.
At the least, you will have a magnet to draw the wild animals in, so set up the cameras and get those super photos, sell them and you will be able to buy new peanuts.
Plus your squirrel stew will be richer and not require extra oils.
My hubby suggested I weave new wicks out of thread or cotton string. I wonder if that would work in a pinch. I’d much rather have some replacements on hand. Also need to look for lamp oil/kerosene.<<<<
I would be afraid of that project.
First is the pure cotton thread and then getting it tight enough to not burn instantly and start a fire, plus the danger of it being too loose and burning into the base of the lamp.
If the hardware store does not have them, try a camping store, I either bought my spares in the camping section, maybe at Walmart.
Next I would check the Walmart craft section for the wicks and new burners, as they did have a craze a couple years ago of making lamps as a craft, in jars and bottles, the instructions were all over the place.
Frankly, using a glass jar with a slit cut in the lid for the wick is not something that I will do, it is too dangerous.
I have had lamps flare and it is scary and dangerous.
If I HAD to invent a wick, I might try using a piece of an old Levi pants leg.
I was curious as to the results on the above search: [LOL]

Best Days for Fishing in 2009
Fishing
The Best Fishing Days for 2009, when the Moon is between new and full:
* January 1-10
* January 26-February 9
* February 24-March 10
* March 26-April 9
* April 24-May 9
* May 24-June 7
* June 22-July 7
* July 21-August 5
* August 20-September 4
* September 18-October 4
* October 18-November 2
* November 16-December 2
* December 16-31
The best times to fish are when the fish are naturally most active. The Sun, Moon, tides, and weather all influence fish activity. For example, fish tend to feed more at sunrise and sunset. During a full Moon, tides are higher than average and fish tend to feed more. However, most of us go fishing when we can get the time off, not because it is the best time. But there are best times, according to fishing lore:
Best Times for Fishing
* One hour before and one hour after high tides, and one hour before and one hour after low tides. Inland, the times for high tides correspond with the times when the Moon is due south. Low tides are halfway between high tides.
* During the “morning rise” (after sunup for a spell) and the “evening rise” (just before sundown and the hour or so after).
* When the barometer is steady or on the rise. (But even during stormy periods, the fish aren’t going to give up feeding. The smart fisherman will find just the right bait.)
* When there is a hatch of flies — caddis flies or mayflies, commonly. (The fisherman will have to match his fly with the hatching flies or go fishless.)
* When the breeze is from a westerly quarter rather than from the north or east.
* When the water is still or rippled, rather than during a wind.
Tackle-Box Checklist
* Fishing line
* Bobbers
* Swivels, to keep fishing line from twisting
* Leaders
* Sinkers
* Different sizes of hooks
* Pliers, to help remove hooks
* Stringer, to hold all the fish you catch
* Sharp knife
* Ruler/scale
* Flashlight
* First-aid kit
* Insect repellent
* Sunscreen

Comment from Jerry Buerge on January 19, 2009
You should also add soap to your checklist, used to wash any gasoline off your hands before you touch any bate - artificial or live. Then, if you are not squeamish, and are using live bait, it does not hurt to make sure that your hands smell exactly like the bait by whatever means you can muster.
You will catch more fish if you do that and you will NOT, if you don’t.
Comment from Mike Shoemaker on January 28, 2009
For catfishing with chicken livers I keep some regular sewing thread in my tackle box.Once the liver is on the hook wrap it a few times with thread and it will stay on.
Comment from Frank York on January 29, 2009
THE BEST WAY I HAVE FOUND TO KEEP LIVER ON A HOOK IS TO CUT A PIECE OF MY WIFES OLD HOSE INTO SMALL PIECES AND WRAP THE LIVER WITH IT AFTER THE LIVER IS ALREADY HOOKED IT WILL NOT COME OFF THIS WAY.
Comment from ramiro vela on January 30, 2009
The best way to fish in South Texas with chicken liver, is to let it sit a while in the good Texas sun, sprinkle a little garlic powder and a little chile powder. This combintion makes the liver pasty and it will stay on your triple or single hook with little to no problem. I do offer a warning, that pow you will feel on your line is going to be one big Texas size catfish, so get ready and have some good Texas fishing fun.
Comment from Jean Cannon on February 1, 2009
A real good bait I have found is hot dogs with chicken meat. Cut them in desired pieces and set in the sun to ‘dry up’. When they are ‘dried’, they will stay on the hook better. You can put them in a bag in the freezer to keep. Brim and catfish will bite this bait.
Comment from Joey Brown on February 5, 2009
The best catfish bait around here, when they come out, are catalpa worms. You can put what you don’t use in the freezer with a few catalpa tree leaves, when you are ready to fish again, take them out and they come back to life, start reeling in the big cats.
Comment from Chuck Hubbard Jr. on February 10, 2009
The best catfish bait that I have found fishing for catfish anywhere bar none is shrimp, go to a walmart supercenter and by you a couple packs of the frozen whole large shrimp, yeah it’s a little costly but let me tell ya somthin friend, it’s worth it.
Comment from Bill Ledford on February 13, 2009
any Crappie fishermen out there that can tell me is they spawn year round?
Comment from capt Don on February 13, 2009
A salmon carcus after the fillets are laid off is pretty good halibut bait. Use a size 20 circle hook,(through both lips works best. 2 or 3 lbs of lead and runner to the bottom. When a barn door hits it?better hold on. This is a good way to keep the little ones off?the ones under 100 lb.
Comment from harald martin on February 15, 2009
The best bait for me was Spanish Mackerel bought from the grocery store, we caught Cats all weekend long on the Colorado river, but you have to cut it into little pieces no more than a quarter of an inch square. (Biggest mistake people make is using too big of a piece of cut bait). For Big Cats (35lbs or more) you want to use live Gold Fish or Bream (Blue Gill). The best bait for large Yellow Cats (The best Tasting) is a 14 inch Bass (Illegal to use), but it will catch the monsters.
Comment from leonard moczygemba on February 18, 2009
something to think about,
Comment from tom obriant on February 20, 2009
can biscuits pinch some off roll it into a ball about half the size of a marble and put it right on the tip of your hook. you will have to change it often ,the fish go frenzy for it .brim ,crappie, bass and turtles Still water fishing.
Comment from greg serna on February 23, 2009
push the stem of the treble hook through a nice chunk of liver,up to the points and let it hang.put treble on a snap swivel and toss her out about 30 or forty feet into the lake or pond and have a nice cold one!
Comment from michael gilbreath on February 24, 2009
i can never find where the big cats are hiding can anyone help?
Comment from Todd Heil on February 25, 2009
It would help out if you know the underwater structure of the pond,river or lake. Find DEEP holes with lots of cover as in over hangs. Gravel pits are a great place to fish for cats. If you know that 3 feet out intowater from the bank is a big drop off into the water and it drops down about 20 feet deep, you want to fish 4 feet out from the bank and fish the bottom first. If nothing happens with in a 1/2 hour, put a bobber on and fish 2 feet off the bottom. Just repeat that if you dont catch any thing in another 1/2 hour and lower the bobber another 2 feet and try it again.( You must use a split bobber to fish this way.
Comment from Tommy Bays on February 28, 2009
I am Blackfoot American Native. We live to fish & hunt our meals. a true hint in catfishing is to never use any type of scents( Cologne,Powders,Oils,Perfume,Hand Sanitizer,Dont handle Cigerettes or any type of Tobacco products without washing your hands before applying baits,hooks,sinkers,new line,ect... And only use the same water to wash off any of these scents, the fish know these things, weird but true. And NEVER fish a Full Moon, it is actually the worst time to fish. The Moon is in its reverse cycle, meaning a change of atmosphere. I have fished since I was 4 yrs. of age, everyday, except on a Full Moon. Trust the words of somene who is honest and knows the land,the animals & The True Spirit. A 2/0 Hook with small amount of Chicken Liver is best. Do not freeze it then reuse it, for whatever is in your freezer, the smell will also be on the liver, even in a plastic tub or bowl. Do not eat without washing hands with same water from where you are fishing, no scent soaps, Ivory or Lye Soap is good, non scent. Chief Vyper.....

Olive’s Hobo Bread
Yield: Makes 3 loaves.
A rich brown bread laced with raisins and baked in one-pound coffee tins. It is an eggless quick bread that gets its moisture from the oil and raisin liquid, and keeps well for days.
* 4 teaspoons baking soda
* 2 cups boiling water
* 2 cups dark raisins
* 4 cups flour
* 2 cups sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 4 tablespoons oil
Mix baking soda and water together and pour over the raisins. Let stand overnight without stirring. Next morning sift together the flour, sugar, and salt, and stir this into the raisin mixture with a spoon. Add oil and continue to mix well with a spoon. Batter will be thick. Grease and flour three 1-pound coffee cans and put one third of the batter into each can, leaving top of can open for baking. (Cans will be about half full.)
Bake at 350 degrees F for half an hour; reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake another half hour. Near the end of the baking, cover the open cans with foil if necessary to prevent excessive browning. Test breads with a long cake tester and remove from oven. Lay cans on their sides and turn occasionally to loosen the bread. (Be sure to do this.) Remove from cans when cooled.

Apple Rolls
Yield: 3 loaves (36 slices)
An unusual recipe that’s easy to prepare and very good. It is best made with Granny Smith apples — or any other variety that’s crisp and tart — and with bread flour, which is high in gluten, rather than all-purpose flour. Serve in thick slices as either a bread or a cake (delicious with a hard sauce drizzled over it). The recipe makes a lot, so if your crowd fails to materialize, freeze the extras right in the baking cans, covered with the original plastic lids. (If you don’t have a good supply of leftover coffee cans to use for baking these rolls, standard 8-inch by 4-inch loaf pans, filled half full, work just fine.)
* 4 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples
* 1 cup chopped nuts
* 1 cup white sugar
* 3 cups bread flour
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 eggs, beaten
In a medium-size bowl, stir together the apples, nuts, and sugar. Let them stand for 1 hour, stirring often. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease three 12-ounce coffee cans.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, soda, salt, and spices. Add the apple mixture and stir well. Then add the oil, vanilla, and eggs and mix well.
Divide the batter among the prepared cans. Cover with a double thickness of foil folded so that it comes down over the sides of the cans at least 2 inches. Bake for 1 hour. Let the cans cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before turning the rolls out of the cans to finish cooling. To serve, slice 1 inch thick.

Avoiding Colds and the Flu
Sniffles
If you’re trying hard to avoid colds and the flu, here are some prevention strategies to keep you healthy—short of moving to the North Pole where germs cannot survive!
* Keep current on inoculations, and ask your doctor about flu shots.
* Wash your hands often, with lots of soap and lots of water! Don’t share washcloths or towels.
* Use disposable tissues instead of cloth handkerchiefs.
* Colds are only caught from other people; during cold season, don’t shake hands or touch surfaces and then bring your fingers to your nose or face.
* Don’t bite your nails; it spreads germs.
* Don’t share food or drinks, even a taste.
* When in doubt, hug instead of kiss, even if your heart feels otherwise!
* Drink plenty of liquids, especially fresh pure water.
* Get plenty of sleep. Go to bed early!
* Cut back on sugars and alcoholic drinks.
* Eat correctly, especially lots of fruits with high vitamin C content as well as veggies and grains which cleanse your system.
* If you can, take it easy as soon as symptoms develop.
And here is some good old-fashioned advice from our 1852 Almanac!
* To avoid fall fevers, eat moderately, drink sparingly, lie not down on the damp earth, nor overheat yourself; but keep your temper, and change your clothes as the weather changes.
Have you heard about the Google Flu Trends tool that estimates flu activity? Get an early-warning system for outbreaks of flu in your state.

The easiest way I have found to clear stuffed up sinus and make it easier to breath. Ease the aches and pains that are associated with cough, cold and flu. Rub Arthritis’Tiger Balm’ or Vicks on the soles of the feet. Put on a pair of socks at night time. The look forward to a good nights sleep. May be repeated during the day.
Comment from L R on December 9, 2008
To help kill germs in your airways during a cold: CAREFULLY use a lidded mug of boiling hot water, to which you add 2 drops of eucalyptus oil, and 2 drops of pine oil. Place mug on counter to avoid risk of spilling. Allow vapour to accumulate under the lid for a minute, then VERY cautiously, (so as not to scald your nose and face with the hot steam), ... gently inhale the vapour all the way to the bottom of your lungs through your nostrils, and hold for a bit, replacing the lid immediately. Then exhale completely and repeat a 2 or 3 times until the scent or steam is depleted. Repeat 3 times a day. The medicated steam travels through your entire airway.

Apples are good sources of Vitamin C and soluble fiber, to clean intestines. Two or three a day will help you fight colds and reduce bad cholesterol as an added benefit.
Comment from vicky gostnell on December 18, 2008
For an ear ach take a spoon and fill with alcohol (not the kind you drink) use a lighter to worm it from the bottom. Not for to long. Place in to ear for about 30 seconds then drain. My grandmother used to do this for all the kids.
Comment from Lori Brown on December 24, 2008
I find the best way for me to clear my stuffy head when combated with a cold is to eat very strong curry beef and broccoli.
The curry helps not only to open up the air ways but is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is a good source of Vitamin B6, Foliate, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Copper, and a very good source of dietary Fiber, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Iron and Manganese and the broccoli is chalk full of vitamins C, E Beta-Carotene, Iron and Folic Acid.
Broccoli is chalk full of Vitamin C, Vitamin E Beta-Carotene, Iron and Folic Acid.
Beef is a good protein which also contains Zink, Vitamin B-12, Iron, Riboflavin and Thiamin.

Comment from MaryAnn Evans on January 22, 2009
FOR A SORE THROAT, gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide Topical Solution U.S.P. A nurse told me about this in 1973 and I have not had a bad sore throat since. The sooner you do this when you start getting a sore throat, the faster it works. I keep my own personal bottle so I can get a mouthful straight out of the bottle. Gargle as deep as you can, swish it around in your mouth, spit it out. Wait 10-15 minutes before drinking anything. IT WORKS!!!
Comment from Betty Worthington on January 22, 2009
For Sore Throat,,,,,,,,,Gargle with very warm salted water every hour throughout the day until bedtime. Repeat daily as needed. Relieves throat pain and cough.

for a sore throat.....take a spoonfull of vicks and eat it.it works and does not taste bad
Comment from Jared Leff on January 23, 2009
dont forget spicy foods. natural anti-biotics. so are garlic and onion. a few drops of tabasco in a few tablespoons of water will clear sinuses, if you can handle it. eat lots of tomatoe, onion and garlic in your foods during the bad cold / flu season, it will definately help, and cant hurt either!
Comment from DONNA ESTEPP on January 23, 2009
I’ve been told, it takes 7 days to get over a cold with medication, and it takes a week without any. If that doesn’t work, take 2 asprin and call me in the morning. HAPPY WINTER..........
Comment from Teresa Jenkins on January 23, 2009
I’ve tried the vicks on the bottom of my feet with socks and it works very well. But, I remember when I was a little girl my mom would put vicks on my chest and throat as well as make me eat a little and that worked too. The thing with vicks is to know that you cannot put it on and go outside as it opens your pores and you will have an even worse cold if you do!!
Comment from Alcide G. Fortier on January 23, 2009
The vicks rub really works,my Mother used it on us 55 yrs ago and it still works to-day.
Comment from mildred allen on January 24, 2009
If you have a sore throat a piece of peppermint will help.
Comment from Robert Turmel on January 24, 2009
Vicks, that’s the cure for relief of coughs & sore throats, Apiece of wool on the chest and throat will do the trick. MY MOM DID IT for all 7 of us kids. The old remedies always work the best! MOM’S have always been the best Doctor;s.
Comment from Alden D on February 20, 2009
Medical expenses are the costs that can ruin your finances and can leave your pockets empty. Colds are common disease but can surely affect your finances. People rush to the hospital not realizing they’re just colds, especially with young children ? or possibly hypochondria or Munchausen’s. Many of those people get a cash advance to cover the hospital expenses. Medical researchers have announced that they have cracked the genome code for the rhinoviruses, otherwise known as the common cold. This is good news, although they say it will be few years before a form of treatment will be available. I’d give them a cash advance for no more sniffles ? though it begs the question of whether they can get on that cancer thing.
Comment from Glenda Ward on February 23, 2009
To keep from getting colds and flu ..I put vaseline jelly on a Q=tip and coat the inside of my nose every morning. Then follow the don’t touch your hand to nose or mouth and wash them regularly rule. I haven’t had flu or cold for @ 5 years.

Beer Can Chicken
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Start to Finish Time: 150 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
“This dish is fail proof,” says Steven Raichlen. “It always comes out great.... The steaming beer keeps the bird moist, and the fat drains out of the bird because it’s upright.” Recipe adapted from The Barbecue! Bible.
* 2 cups wood chips (preferably mesquite), divided if using charcoal
* 1 12-ounce can beer, divided if using wood chips
* 1 large whole chicken (about 4 to 5 pounds)
* 1/2 cup Memphis Rub, divided
* Canola oil for grill
If using wood chips, soak them in half the beer mixed with an equal amount of water 1 hour, then drain. Meanwhile, remove the fat just outside the body cavity of the chicken; discard. Rinse the chicken inside and out, then blot dry with paper towels. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon Memphis Rub inside the body, then rub another tablespoon all over the skin. Cover and refrigerate while you heat the grill to medium (about 350°).
Set up grill for indirect grilling, placing a drip pan below your cooking area. If using a charcoal grill, preheat to medium. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips in the smoker box and preheat the grill to high; then, when smoke appears, lower heat to medium.
Using a church key-style can opener, make six or seven holes in the top of the beer can. Spoon the remaining dry rub through the holes into the beer. Holding the chicken upright, with the opening of the body cavity down, insert the beer can into the cavity.
When ready to cook, if using charcoal, toss half the wood chips on the coals. Oil the grill grate. Stand the chicken up in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan. Spread out the legs to form a sort of tripod, to support the bird.
Cover the grill and cook the chicken until fall-off-the-bone tender, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. If using charcoal, add 10 to 12 fresh coals per side and the remaining wood chips after 1 hour.
Using tongs, lift the bird to a cutting board, holding a large metal spatula underneath the beer can for support. (Be careful not to spill hot beer on yourself.) Let stand 5 minutes before carving the meat off the upright carcass.
