"Will you just give me the goat/rabbit/duck/chicken? I'll give it a good home!" It already has a good home. I SELL them for a reason, I'm not running a rescue or a charity.

For a long time, they were gourmet chocolates and books like, "Tanning with brains," and a $700 microscope. Because my amazon wishlist is a scary place sometimes.

That doesn't show up on my page. Right now, my ads are for pajamas with goats on them, fur stretching hoops, and snow boots. Amazon, you know me too well.

Well, my oven has been out for three days and I was sick of stove-top cooking (and I do not cook in my microwave....ever.) So I spent the morning chopping wood and building a fire-pit and I just got done cooking a rooster we processed and had in the freezer, some sausage, a few potatoes from the garden, and the last of…

"If I just get done with this, I can take a nap." "My feet are cold my feet are cold my feet are cold." "One more thing to do and I can go inside." "One more step. One more step." Because usually I am running on complete EMPTY and I have a list of things a mile long, usually outside, that HAVE to be done before I can sit.…

I will be starting over the first of the year. This year has chewed me up and spit me out-between layoffs and emergency vet bills and illnesses I am D-O-N-E. I think I have started and stopped about 50 times (you try to maintain a workout program when you are bottle feeding sick baby goats, dealing with rescue rabbits,…

hurricane-force winds. Ain't it a shame to have a drink on a....

I have noticed the number of them increasing here too. We shred the letters and put them in the compost.

my uncle has polycystic kidney disease, has gone through three years of dialysis. he has bad days here and there, but it looks like my aunt will be a match so hopefully he will be getting a kidney next year sometime. hope everything goes smoothly for you, best wishes.

I have tried a few. they lasted anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. the effects? headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, grumpiness, low blood sugar, racing heart, sleeplessness, irritability....let's just say I don't do well with deprivation.

I don't eat things I can have any time of year, like sweet potato or corn or lima beans. I eat a slice of the seasonal pies we only have at holidays, my moms sausage balls that are xmas exclusive...you know-those family traditions that have your mouth watering the week before? Eat those. they only come around this time of…

I don't worry about it when I'm sick, and I have an allergy we haven't pinpointed that causes my lip to swell at random, making it unpleasant to eat anything. I stick with broths and soft foods if im sick, if I eat anything. I don't ever hit 1000 calories if im ill. Hope you feel better soon though!

Eh, I count it as walking, just because my line is waaaaaaay out in the boonies (stupid me for putting it there, but I digress). I call it "laundry day" and log it since I do about 5 loads of clothes once or twice a week

I have no advice, as I am up before daylight to feed livestock every day and would likely be committed to an asylum if I attempted to workout at that hour. That being said, I hope you find what helps you stick to it, and best of luck!

Getting back on track after a year full of disasters, near-misses, and emergencies.

We get eggs from our hens...and dear lord it takes about 4 weeks for them to get anywhere NEAR peelable. I have just about given up on boiled eggs now that we have chickens, haha

[/quote] i did nazi that coming. [/quote] This seriously made me spit out my coffee laughing. Not cool.

my brain dances like that when it heard the coffee pot come on.

We eat a lot of rabbit, squirrel, chicken, duck, and deer. FYI- if your protein is set that high, you're going to get really tired of eggs and beef really fast.

aahhhh, thank you. I feel like an accordion that's all squished up right now. had I KNOWN I would be out and about for the ENTIRE weekend I'd have worn my better boots and I am PAYING for it today.

Weigh your food. We inevitably eat more than we think we are, and an extra 30-40 calories a few times a day adds up fast.

I missed the first two weigh-ins buuuut... SW: 140 CW: 138 GW: 130 This week I am thankful for: Already having antibiotics on hand when my chickens got sick.

2 scoops vanilla protein powder 2 TBS peanut butter 2 TBS butterscotch pudding mix ice water tastes like a butterfinger candy bar.

My reason is simple: It's getting cold, I'm cheap, and none of my jeans fit. I am not buying new pants, so the ones I have need to button.

Nope, I don't buy it. You mean to tell me you have had turnips, radishes, jicama, yucca, beets, collards, romanesco broccoli (its really neat and spiraled), more than one type of eggplant, plantains, aaaaalllll the types of peppers, celeriac, broccoli raab, arugula......get my point? I am 24, I have gardened my whole life…

I think im going to need one more cup of coffee before I can be anywhere near this chipper, hahaha! Thanks for the motivating words though, sir :)

Nope. We have paid over $1000 in vet bills in under a week to remove a tumor from my four year old dog, which might have bought us another month with her. If it was possible, I'd sell everything I have to buy more time. There's not enough money in the world to buy any of my pets.

I work from home, and my only outing is to the feed store. If you're immunocompromised, please refrain from buying anything from me so as not to risk contamination. Otherwise, it is not my responsibility to keep you healthy. In return, I will do my part by staying home if I get sick (which is where the stupid problem comes…
