I like the following books: Don't Panic Dinner's in the Freezer & Don't Panic More Dinner's in the Freezer. I have tried several recipes and liked them all. I change the ingredients to make them healthier. I found them at Sam's a few months ago. Maybe you could try the local library to see if...

Tami I can absolutely relate. My sister was recently diagonosed with what her doctor called an aggressive form of breast cancer. My mom had breast cancer at the same age. Another sister died at 27 from Leukemia. This has freaked me out a lot lately in regard to family genetics. It also has put...

Gayle Thank you very much for all this info. I will pass it on to my DH. We are just looking to safely co exist with our bears.

The deterrents recommended by the D.E.C. are an electric fence and/or boards with nails sticking up. Neither of them are supposed to harm the bear just let him/her associate coming to the hive with pain so they won't return. The other suggestion from what we've read is to move the hive to...

Phyllis I did notice the signs going into your town about bear alert levels or something like that. Never saw that growing up. Having them in the backyard down here is a surprise though. I realise they are noctural animals but I will be a little nervous this year when my berry patch produces. I...

We have a small bee hive and last year harvested the most incredible honey I have ever tasted. I was so looking forward to this years harvest when we woke up to find a bear had trashed the hive. Not to be deterred, my DH set it back up and darn if a month later the bear didn't return again and...

Phyllis, check you PM's please.

I have and have used this bread machine book: Bread Machine Baking for Better Health by Daniella Chase and Maureen B. Keane It was published April 22, 1998. I am not sure of the availability. It contains 2 amaranth recipes that use spelt and amaranth flour. It also calls for rice polish. There...

This happened to me recently with UPS. I ordered a new cell phone for my husband. A confirmation of delivery was sent to me. I could not get them to believe we did not receive it. After endless phone conversations with Sprint AND UPS they all finally agreed it was not delievred to me but another...

I can't remember what variety of grapes we planted. It was a while ago. I did do research at the time and I know they are appropriate for our area. I will look into a soil/nutrient problem. We do have a co operative extension close to us also. I never would have thought of that. Thanks everyone...

Thanks so much - I don't want to give up yet.

I have a modest fruit and berry patch. I grow currants, blueberries, red raspberries and attempt to grow grapes. If anyone has had success growing grapes in a home garden I could use some help. The vines produce grapes however they never fully ripen. I've read many books on this subject but have...

PLEASE don't stop taking your meds without working with your doctor. I realize everyone if different so I am just going to relate my experience with this. My Mom's doctor cut her anti depression meds cold turkey ( another story) and she had such withdrawls that she took her own life. I am not...

I'm understand how you feel betrayed by his sargent but they can and will use ANYTHING you do and say to embarrass and "motivate" them. I know now that you send all letters in plain white envelopes - do not put anything on the outside or use colors etc. that they might be able to embarrass him...

Use a mixer I have not tried this with almond butter yet however it works with peanut butter. Take a hand held mixer, only use 1 of the blade attachements. Hold the jar with one hand, place the mixing blade in the jar and turn on low. It mixes it very quickly. It's very important to use a low...

GO My son graduated Marine boot camp last October. I know other sons who told their parents they didn't care if they attended or not. I encourage you to attend for several reasons. It's a once in a lifetime event and that alone is a reason to go. The military puts them through hell before they...

donating to science I have a deep respect for those who choose to donate their body to science. My son is a physical therapist and as part of his training he had to work on a cadaver. I was relieved and impressed to learn that at his university they were given explicit instructions on the...

jodijodi My next door neighbor was Robin and I liked to see her in my yard come spring along with the first robin. Nice catch.

Great thread - 1. Peepers 2. Bullfrogs - I have the loudest one in the pond across the street from me - OK maybe that's a little later in the season 3. The smell of lilacs 4. Seeing the first crocus blooming and Robin in my yard 5. The smell of the first cut grass 6. Seeing this...

soccer schedule I just want to respond to the whole soccer practice/game schedule thing. I only have three sons but they all played soccer both club and travel. The practice and game schedules were incredible. They also did indoor soccer tournaments during the winter and travel tournaments up...
