Hubs has a metabolic disorder and thyroid problems. I outweigh him even though he is 6' and I am 4'8". The thing is-I LOVE things like rice and yogurt and hot wings. he hates them. he LOVES pickles and cottage cheese and beef. and I HATE them. So diet vs non-diet isn't really an issue here. Our tastes are so different I…

Sent: "Pigs eat anything" is exactly like "goats eat anything." He turned down cereal, corn, feed, bread, and scratch for weeds. Received:He is really enjoying all of this too.

I don't eat for pleasure. That is not to say I don't enjoy eating once in a while. I eat when my blood sugar drops, or I get hungry. Then again, I grew up poor and now I live self sufficiently so food is not a luxury and never has been here. In my house, you eat what you need, no more. There are times the garden does…

1. Machete 2. firestarter 3. pocketknife 4. string/twine 5. a cooking pot because the knife and machete are lifesavers in those situations, firestarter because duh...you need fire and I suck with a bowdrill, string or twine to bind nets or use as fishing line or snares, and a cooking pot because it would make purifying…

Depends on what it is. If it's, say, a granola bar/snack cake/etc? To the chickens it goes! Popcicle-type things? Dogs. Sandwich wrap/taco/portable meat cheese thing? My pig gets it. If it's full of chemicals, preservatives, artificial coloring, etc I don't typically feed it to the animals, i'll chunk it into my compost…

Holy cow. I can't even fathom going to bed at 1am. I have no advice, but maybe a little perspective will help: I get up at 5am to cook breakfast, feed dogs, and walk dogs. By 6:30, I am out the door to feed my livestock (at least get the feed in buckets) I come inside around 6:45 to have breakfast before my husband goes to…

That I play guitar and classical piano.

I agree. I was on this site years ago and I can definitely see how the replies have taken a downward turn. I just recently came back on because it was so aggravating to read so many s....well...crappy responses from what I can only assume are crappy people.

also want to add: why walk outside if its that cold? I ran out to feed the livestock today and got my butt back in the house. im only venturing out to walk the dogs and chop firewood if I can help it.

No idea what you call cold, but im investing in some insulated jumpsuits and boots I found on amazon. bear mountain brand or something like that. but im a total sissy in the cold.

I MUST have turnip greens with chicken and dumplins. I eat cream-style corn by scooping it with a fried green tomato. I only drink cocoa/coffee if its just under nuclear heat. I put mustard on pizza I eat hot sauce on everything
