I LOVE Sketchers!! Chris and Ben tease the heck out of me an$ say they are from the 80’s...who cares if they aren’t the prettiest....they are the comfiest!! That’s what counts!! Besides..I like my gorgeous blue Sketchers and think they make me look quite cute!
I’ve been drinking my milk like crazy...sooo good!! Made more cheese last night too. We can sell raw milk here, but we can pasteurize it too, only takes a stainless steel pot. I just don’t know how much to charge? $12? A gallon seems quite high, but Walmart only sells the powder and by the pint for $11. Chris thinks $14 since that’s what we sell the cheese for....I would never pay that much!!
I think that is very generous of you to offer to watch somebody's children for free so they can continue working but to be honest with you...I think it has the potential to bite you in the butt. .... sick crying kids, parents stressing about money and what is going on, you getting accused of something ???? Unless it was someone I knew, I wouldn't go there ...unless it was something that could be organized with other volunteers and was in a place other than my home .... just my own personal opinion
Thanks. Just what i'm looking for. Reality. I cannot readily see the flaws in my ideas unless someone else points them out. Blinded by my own "brilliance" I suppose.I think that is very generous of you to offer to watch somebody's children for free so they can continue working but to be honest with you...I think it has the potential to bite you in the butt. .... sick crying kids, parents stressing about money and what is going on, you getting accused of something ????

I think if any of us wanted to "help" with the situation that we are facing.....donating blood, food pantrys, donating extra eggs to food banks, volunteer to deliver meals to the elderly, goodwill, offer yard care to those in need, j check your local animal shelter and foster some dogs....just keep washing your hands and practice "social distancing "
You will be better to not be connected to a water system where they can regulate you, charge you and untimately tell you what you can and can't do and how much you can and cannot use. I realize a well is not cheap, but I NEVER want to be at the mercy of any company for my water...... wanting to get off the electricity dependency too......Right on both counts.
But, you want to talk money . . . .
Our house stands maybe 50 yards from the ends of two streets. When we built the house (20+ years ago), both streets had their own little "package systems," both of which were maxed out on the number of homes they could support (or at least, that's what we were told), so we couldn't hook up to either one. Nonetheless, we were charged a hookup fee, even though we had to put in a well.
Over the years, the county took over the package systems and connected them to the county-wide system. At different times and for various reasons, we have put feelers out about getting connected, and have come to the conclusion that they really don't want to bother for just one house. Hubby inquired again, and was told that the distance is too great for the water to maintain reasonable pressure on the usual size of pipe that they use for connecting a house, so they'd have to extend the main from the street (weird; we've run a 3/4" hose from the neighbor's house to ours to have water during this mess, and the pressure is fine), price tag, $60,000. Doesn't that sound like "go away, and stop bothering me," to you?
So yeah, we are drilling a new well.
Same here...8 was lazy and didn’t go out until almost 9! I know they were all mad at me!!
