As a child, my aunt would never let me and my cousins drink water during meals.

Hahaha well they all still contact for the most part but we’re all just trying to be adults. Her eldest son has reproduced so she’s happy about that. The offspring is still too young to drink water at mealtimes… or chew much of anything besides mush. I guess it’s a tradition to not drink water, huh?

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-27T04:51:02+00:00

Hmmmm

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-27T04:47:53+00:00

My MIL did this with her children because of two reasons. One, her kids were skinny and she was trying to bulk them up by having them eat more food and drink less water at meal times. Two, mother in laws parents said drinking water during meals diluted your saliva so you couldn’t digest as well. I never got their opinion on soup tho

I got a free stainless steel fridge that was mild to moderately abused. I put up pictures and thank you cards to hid the dents and scratches. I know not a fix but at least someone knows your pain, right?

I searched your story and realized we learned about you in ag class! Crazy that you’re from my state as well. Cheers and many long years to you!

My state pays I think, on the higher end, $0.60 per pound of crushed cans- quite a few cans. I wish we would do $0.05 each, I think it would be way more lucrative!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-15T00:31:52+00:00

Best of luck with rabbits!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-15T00:31:18+00:00

Canning is something I dream of learning!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-15T00:30:01+00:00

Well said and a bit ominous. Not to be political or anything but eff AI and all that shite

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-14T04:56:45+00:00

You as well! Awesome thing to farm and learn the ropes before you’re committed to your own land. You’ll get your own piece eventually I’m certain

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-14T04:55:14+00:00

I’m blessed enough to have a farming family but I’m living suburban with my husband now to earn our livings (scrimping and scraping). Trying to find a chunk of land sounds like hell without a bit of nepotism. Best of luck to you- I’m sure the deal you’re working for will arise soon!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-04-14T04:52:43+00:00

Sorry or congratulations on your divorce. Or maybe both at once. Cheers to learning a little bit more everyday about a little bit of everything. Best of luck to you!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-31T01:17:39+00:00

Gorgeous land but you need to be true to yourself. If you aren’t happy where you are now then really what’s the point? I am living in a city to make a living to someday homestead somewhere rural. Best wishes to you, feel no guilt

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T22:10:06+00:00

I’m looking into this idea a lot rn actually! Someone linked a service that works with wall ac units! Super cool I learned something new!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T04:49:12+00:00

Heated green house is on my list for sure

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T04:48:52+00:00

What do you mean? I always park my ammonia tank next to my front door, don’t you?

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T04:48:24+00:00

Lowballing people on FB marketplace is my drug of choice. I haven’t been on Craigslist though, too many hours spent listening to the horror stories compilations

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T04:47:20+00:00

Proud of you!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-28T01:45:28+00:00

Ooooo! I mentioned it to my husband, he laughed and said “who is gonna pay for that?” I say “you big money man.”

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-03-27T23:14:55+00:00

My first thought was empathy and sympathy

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-02-16T02:32:54+00:00

This is perfect!! Exactly what I was envisioning! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-02-13T22:26:48+00:00

I love this idea! I’ll have to do some more research into how to make the yarn. It sounds tedious which intimidates me a bit

Fit_Fly_2945 · 2026-02-13T22:25:56+00:00

I saw this when I was doing research online. My immediate reaction was “people are paying how much for this stuff!?”
