      MIT Police Officer Shot

      I read earlier somewhere that was from efforts by hospital to revive him. Open heart massage maybe?

      Dr. Kermit Gosnell caught giving post 24 week abortions in PA

      This stuff makes me ANGRY! Twenty-one years ago next month, my eldest son was born. He was 28 weeks gestation, weighed 4 lbs. 6 oz., and was 17 in. long. Everything intact and functional. No residual effects whatsoever. Hospitalized 21 days - never intubated, never any distress of any kind...

      Root cellaring without the root cellar

      I recommend a book from Rodale Press Amazon.com: Stocking Up III: America's Classic Preserving Guide (9781567310733): Carol Hupping: Books There is a section on storage with some creative ideas for storage as well as good information on storing individual fruits and veggies. One of my...

      Wash or Warsh?

      A good East Coast one is to ask someone from Philly to say water - they often respond with wooter. Yes. Yes, they do. However, many of the rest of us Pennsylvanians say water.:D

      Emergency butter candle

      Not sure how margarine would work, most margarines have water in them. As far as the crisco, I used to make candles and I added crisco to the wax I used for container candles. It was part container wax, part crisco and part beeswax. They made very nice long burning, low soot candles that held...

      Should those who drink alcohol pay a special tax to cover the damage it causes

      Why don't we just add a disclaimer to everything gun and ammo related. I suggest "Remember, shoot responsibility". Doesn't that cover it?

      Question about chimneys

      We heat our entire house with a wood-fired boiler and have done so for 33 years. Wind conditions, air pressure, and many other things cause the smoke to fall to the ground instead of rising. Yes, when a fire is first lit there will be more smoke. It takes a while for the chimney to be heated...

      Compact 9mm Recommendation

      Any time my husband wants to surprise me with a new gun - I accept! While it might not be what I would choose, I would never turn it down. (Just me I guess.) Having said that, my personal favorite is the Ruger SR9C I bought for myself. Love the size and feel!

      Fitness as a prep

      I have five rules I try to follow to keep healthy. 1. Eat right. - lots of veggies and protein, No white food (flour, rice, potatoes, or sugar), limited carbs - this keeps my reflux under control with no meds 2. Exercise - I can't run any more, but walk 4-7 miles per day. Free weights and...

      ? about hypertension.

      Do NOT skip meals. The largest part of our eating should be early in the day. Yeah, not what we are accustomed to. I have found five things that will make a good start at addressing our health issues; eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, stay well hydrated, and manage stress. Obviously...

      A little PSA for the ladies among us

      Much as I love bacon (cured my own), not sure I want bacon pie. I guess it might be like bacon and biscuits. However, we love the pie crust made with our home-rendered lard.

      Plantar fasciitis

      I also struggled with PF a few years ago when I was running every day. Remember to IceCompressElevate. I wore a foot compression bandage. You can even use an elastic bandage wrap. I found that I really needed the support. I also have very wide feet (EE or EEE), and they are thick (about as...

      How old were you when you had your first kid?

      Married at 19, first boy at 32, second boy at 34. Major adjustment after all those years - probably more so for me than my husband. There are both good and bad features either way. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Is a little bit tougher to have college expenses after you retire. (My...

      Our 2nd miscarriage

      Praying for comfort and peace for both of you. Grieving takes time. Don't be too tough on yourselves - try to embrace and work through each step.

      Thinking about going to the beach for a week.... where to go?

      My family is a huge fan of the Outer Banks. Lots of history, and the farther south you go the more unspoiled beach you find. We usually rent a home near Avon, Buxton or Cape Hatteras. Lots to do on Roanoke Island and we love the swimming on Ocracoke island. You can stay on the sound side or...
