The drop off rate here is terrible, and will remain so until about March. History shows that starting in Nov. my place becomes the "dumping ground" for elderly or crippled/ill pets. In mid to late Jan. the tide turns to pups...my theory is that people can not stand by their comittments to the...

I learned something new yesterday, that I bet a lot of people don't know (or maybe I am the only one)...When a coupon said one per purchase, I always thought that if you had 2 coupons for the same thing, you had to use them in seperate trips to the store. That is not true...if it says one per...

The recipe I use is : 1 cup Borax powder 1 cup washing soda (none of the stores around me carry washing soda so I use baking soda) 2 cups grated bar soap (Fels Naptha, Ivory, Zoat) Just a note that I have found useful...freeze the bars of soap before you grate them as all these soaps are...

My washing machine died this past summer, and instead of replacing it I started using an old wringer washer we had here. It is electric, but does not run nearly as long to get clothes clean as my "modern" one did. Also wash in cold water, and make my own laundry detergent, and household...

Anybody know what Lot # 6 brought?

I had to scrape a few stubborn spots, but not many. In fact, my 6 year old did the bottom parts of the walls, and thought it was great fun to peel the paper off the walls

Try fabric softener...dilute it 4 to 1 and put it in a spray bottle. Worked great on wallpaper that had been on my walls for years. Sprayed it on and waited a few minutes, then it peeled right off. Smells better than vinegar too!! Teresa

That is a poem that a whole lot of people need to be made to understand!! Once again it "tis the season" at my house...have had one dog, and one cat dumped at my place already. Hopefully it is over for the "throw away" period. The dog is a pointer, and young, but is missing one back foot...

I guess that particular quote has always struck me when I get to the bottom of your posts because it sums up what I think will be my fate if my fur kids were taken away. And I still have human family around me. But the connection is different, and I can't imagine not having the unconditional...

I pulled this quote off the bottom of AppyLover2's signature as I thought it very much applies to this situation. If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit..... author unknown

: : : VERY well said, Sunquest!!!

Earlier I posted that I was in contact with someone from Dreamhorse forum that was in KS. This is the e-mail she sent me today. Not much help, but another contact suggestion. Yesterday I forwarded the link to one of the Horse rescues in Bourban County, they probably already had it/knew of it...

I'm guessing Ronnie is the one that made the report of trailers, and is probably not able to report and keep an eye on things at the same time...at least that is what I' hoping is happeneing!! I have copied and pasted Marty's last update to the Dreamhorse forum, as I have been keeping them...

I think maybe it should be WE ARE HORSEMEN But either way you shout it...Keep shouting!!

My husband made these for me, and they have worked really well. If I need to I can also put a tarp aver the whole thing and keep the wind and rain out. Each piece is seperate, so it is easy for me to put on my truck when I need it. We use rachet straps over the top, just to be sure none of...
