Last year I started a thread where people posted things they were looking for to buy as presents for Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa, etc. They were items that the people wouldn't mind buying second-hand or that someone else could make for them. Then, people responded saying "I have this and I'd...

Spin off of a thread for a woman's super secret savings account. A lot of us have change jars. What are your particular plans for yours? I have no idea what I'm going to do with mine.

I thought it'd be a neat idea to share what we're planning on making, buying, doing for our men this holiday season... so far i'm making a blanket, some clothing (that includes winter gear), am thinking about special dessert cookies for each one... not yet sure about what i'll be buying. I...

Started bright and early bringing the cows:cowwave: in and turning the mares out. This has become and interesting job around here as one of the steers doesn't seem to realize he's NOT a bull and that I'm the boss mama around here! Nothing like having to chuck rocks at a 1300 pound animal...

Breakfast for me: my usual bagel. Lunch: turkey sandwiches. Supper: leftovers (meatloaf)  or maybe something else if I feel better later.   What are you having today?
