Hubby has access to 5 gallon pails from work (clean, never used), and we intend to add 3 or 4 of those to our stores. We did have one before, but made the mistake of not staying on top of changing out the water, and it got nasty.

In light of the media panic about food shortages and such, my husband and I decided it might be a good idea to stock up on a few things (rice, flour) and we figured, while we were at it, we had best set up an emergency kit that could get us through a couple weeks of stressful times. We bought...

how many threads do we need about this?

Mocha Fudge... MMMmmmmm.

He spoke as he was drowning? And people heard him? Over the screams and splashing of others dying? Brilliant. So eanassir, can you respond without quran quotes?

Okay, so the topic of cultural gender selection came up, and talk about odd timing. A friend sent me this article link today, about how scientists think there is perhaps a caloric link in how our bodies select the gender of our offspring. High calorie diets mean more boys. Our current low cal...

A book written for children by a plastic surgeon, to help explain the changes mommy is going through when she heads to the plastic surgeon.

See, I think that thinking is indicative of why people go hungry, but it's not because gerry's throwing food away, it's because gerry's got enough money that he's actually willing to throw that away. It's an inequality in wealth distribution that makes it impossible to feed the poor of distant...

lol... I've actually lent out my mouser before. A week with him in your house and even the smartest mice are taken care of.

I wish I were closer Mikey.

Made what up? You never said you've ever gone hungry a day in your life. You just wished it upon others.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351275,00.html An atheist father has lost his court case attempting to keep his son out of Catholic school. All religious arguments aside, separate school seems to be the way to go, even in Canada, so I really don't blame the mother for pushing for it.

You're making me want a bread maker. lol.

Yep. But mainly by downed livestock being ground up for feed. The instances of it being on the plate in your local diner are pretty few and far between. The risk there is minimal.

cannibalism is actually the most effective way of spreading it, and has happened in humans. Yum.

Also, it occured to me once I'd replied to this that feeding downed animals back to animals is the way most disease spreads. presumably, our food supply isn't downed animals, although, that has been shown to happen. But, then we're at as much risk as the pigs getting it in their feed are.

The program I saw the tossed pork product in the garbage. I had a cousin who had a hobby farm and worked as a waitress, and it was the same thing for her... she kept all the scraps in a 5 gallon pail, but any pork went in the garbage.

Oh wow... do you make it a habit to pull this sort of thing in conversation? Perhaps I'm taking it as much more rude than it was intended, but where I come from, speaking to someone in a language you know they do not speak or understand is a blatant attempt to dismiss and end a discussion. To...
