    If you have large families and bonus families, who need your help to prepare for them, there will never be enough. I say if you have more than you will need for your whole life, then it is for whom ever comes after you. They will need it. My question is what do you make your TP alternative cloths out of? Would it be old towels or quilting scraps? Am I even close? Trying to remember what my grandmother used, thats been a few years ago.

    Thanks for posting this info. Was excited to learn chicory can be fed to chickens. I have planted several herbs from seeds, in order to feed them to my chickens. My husband says I need to plant more seeds to feed us. Haha!

    I sure hope so. There has been wonderful testimonials, and not so wonderful reports. Only time will tell what kind of fruits have been sown.

    Weakness: Not having goggles to protect eyes from the cold freezing wind, when outside taking care of animals. We are from the South, not accustom to negative wind chill temperatures.

    Strengths: Overkill on insulating exposed outside water faucets and pump houses. Buried water lines deeper than necessary.

    I bought one this year. Top flimsy. I think I will buy some from Bootstrap Farmers or Hoss Tools. I have trays from Bootstrap Farmers which are very sturdy. I bought some on-line from Walmart, do not remember company name, they were very good also.

    Bought Dumor laying feed and hens stopped laying. Changed feed and they started laying again. Chickens eat bugs. We eat chicken.

    Could your oven have been too hot? This same thing happened to my husband when he made a crustless coconut pie. It rose as high as it could without spilling over, then fell. He said he did nothing different than any other time he made the pie. It may be just one of those things.
