I keep getting calls from telemarketers promising 0% interest on my credit card because I have such good credit history and make my payments on time - even trying to pay more each month but every time I get one of these calls they end up cussing me out after I've spent a lot of time hunting for...

With spring approaching and berry season upon us, I thought I'd share a good foolproof strawberry jam recipe for those who may have had trouble making strawberry jam before and prefer not to buy a lot of additives. Decap strawberries and weigh them. To the net weight of the strawberries...

Did I mention I have been having trouble with a calf who insisted on getting out? Santa's elves helped me break him of that nonsense.

Occasionally, like once in a blue moon, I'll do something nice for someone. This week I made a mess of snack sticks and carried them to the Sheriff's Boys Ranch so the children could have something to snack on after school. I really admire this organization because they seem so genuine and...

Empathy Here is some food for thought which might help restore what is becoming an endangered species. What level of certainty about an accused guilt should drive anyone to crucify another? The standard to convict a defendant in criminal court is often understood as requiring anywhere from 95...

My neighbors' grandson went to camp and ended up getting sick. Doctors were at a loss as to what was wrong with him at first but then they diagnosed meningitis. It was touch and go for a while but he ended recovered completely and he doesn't remember anything that happened during his illness...

Been having a snake problem around my chicken coop and have been relocating them but they just keep coming back. Last straw came when one gave my daughter a big scare. Its one thing to scare me but its another when you mess with my daughter so something had to be done. Since I didn't want to...

Was tempted to cut hay yesterday because the weather folks promised good weather for a few days. Something didn't feel right to me about it though and reluctantly I didn't cut even though was promised a few days of dry weather. Pretty blue skies seemed to mock me. Temptation grew but I...

Its that time of year again. My fields are covered up in them. Too wet to spray with a tractor so I'll be hitting them from the air tomorrow morning assuming its not raining.

Anyone know if a 3-D printer could be used to print straws? Just asking for a friend of a friend.

If only I could cut hay. Not complaining about all the rain but it would be nice to be able to cut hay sometime. I just checked on field and its falling over and there is about an inch of standing water on it. More rain in the forecast. Got plenty of grass. Cows are fat and sassy but it...

Here is the receipt for two gallons of milk I bought last week. Seems to be holding at $1.25 gallon. I've been upping my consumption trying to help the dairyman via the supply and demand thing. My dog is happy and thinks I'm a god because he's now getting two bowls a day. Water is a buck a...

I think what he was actually saying is it wasn't the cows but the education you needed. Don't feel bad. About the same thing happened to me when I dealt with a purebred breeder, he showed me some nice fat big framed Angus heifers in a field and I agreed on buying about half of them only to...

Years ago I heard that lightning strikes follow paths and can be charted over time. If I remember right the explanation had something to do with a charge from the earth and this will move with time. I don't know if this is true or not but at the time when it was pointed out to me we had three...

Saw on the news where Europe is demanding stricter laws on computer privacy to keep business like Facebook, Google and Amazon from collecting so much of our personal information and these new laws will inadvertently help us here in the USA. The news showed how you can fairly easily opt out of...

I prefer to work by the job and not by the hour but some people are hard to deal with and sometimes I have to remember that I'm just the hired help and don't know squat and just need to do as I'm told. Though I don't like the idea, I'll be doing this job by the hour after all - customer is...

Just wondered what peoples opinion was on the best way to hoe their garden. Do you hoe shallow and lightly hoe up the weeds or do you hoe deep or do you use the how to throw up dirt to cover up the weeds like a cultivator does? Just curious.

While I hate to see any business fail there are some businesses that are doomed for failure from the start. Like selling snow cones to Eskimos is a poor business model. I mean that's a no brainer for sure just as this idea. Of course for those who believe I'm not seeing the big picture and...

Don't normally name livestock but when a certain animal excels in some area making it unique I sometimes will. I'd like to introduce you to Stormy Daniels. Not sure if its her bleached blonde hair that just sets her apart or what. Name just seems appropriate.

I volunteered to help haul off a bunch of stuff from an elderly person's home who was unable to do it. It looked like this person was a borderline hoarder but I imagine if I live 86 years my home might look the same. I carried my trailer to the home and they filled it with a bunch of stuff she...
