Well I hope you birthday girls are having a ball today!! AND MANY MORE!!! I have a lemon bundt cake if you care to come over? My Mother used to tell us, when we came around bothering her, and with some silly bunch of stuff...that I suppose she didn't want to get into, or poor thing, maybe she knew whatever it was , happened to be beyond her reach, anyway...she would say, "why don't you go on about your rat killing and leave me to get finished here...or something like that...My husband said it too...Maybe it is a locale based expression...but I heard it all my life.

Hey Stella, I consider myself a Southern Gal and I've never heard of the expression "Rat Killing" either. Maybe I'm not far enough south!!! or am I too far south?? I would never take on a rat either!! One time I was sitting in the kitchen and saw something move out of the corner of my eye... and it was a little mouse... He/she/it was so cute... but I caught it in a trap later and gave it a good looking at, and that rascal wasn't at all cute when you got up close to it. Don't want anything to do with mice either. I have a cat now but he's scared of everything!! I don't know what he'd do if he saw a mouse. He's even scared of my three chickens! They're almost 15 weeks old now... How much longer till they start laying eggs? Anybody know? I have one rooster and two hens... they were all supposed to be hens! Oh well... too late now! I fixed up a flower pot with some straw, hoping that one of them would start laying... but I guess it's too early. The rooster hasn't even started crowing... Time will tell... Hey... today's my 75th birthday...

Hey stella girl..... I also use 7th generation and Method. I am going to our D.Genl store tomorrow....it's teeny weeny but does have a few things. Have y'all noticed how many of the canned goods are from Thialand or China? I was amazed that Dole and others are now packed elsewhere. I did find some USA canned goods....Libby for one and Oregon fruits. I tried to grow dill and it all rotted..... I may try again this winter when the humidity goes down (IF it does!). I surely do miss my fresh herbs. Maybe I should start an herb garden inside....have to find a place where my kitties can't get at them. I've called companies when there is an issue...... recently I got coupons for two gallons of free milk.... most places are really nice. STELLA.... WHAT RAT KILLING??? no no no, say it ain't so..... are you runnin' around with a shotgun shootin' rats?? paulette in sw fla usa.......it's a good day to be alive regardless.....

You are welcome, Paulette, and Judy for the info about Dollar General prices . I had never shopped at one of their stores until I moved here in the apartment. The store is a block away.My daughter bought dog food there, but I am a nut about where things come from, and USA products Our situation in this country,might be grim at times, with contaminated products or E-Coli...but I still trust our laws and regulations a little better than other countries.I will call the companies or get it online if a date is not on things. You can give them the number above the bar code, or on top of a can, etc, and they tell you exactly when, where that product was packaged.I would not buy canned goods just because they are "cheap" in price...in fact I always go for better name brands...even at higher cost, but I trust a family owned tomato growing place like the Red Gold Company in In.. You can call their 800 number or email them with any question. They sent me a letter of thanks for calling them.Company dates back for years and years..And too, as I said...I found out through studies that tomatoes are good for several things...like our hearts, arteries etc. So...I try to use a lot of tomato sauce.Tomato paste has less sodium,etc in it, but doesn't have the seasonings that the sauce has. I am putting my dried rosemary in zip lock bags and in jars too, today.I have been drying it for quite a while. Still have too much growth out there to go into spring with. Sure wish all of you had a dozen long sprigs of it! I already did some dill weed, lemon thyme and mint.My pot of mint dies down to dry stems in the winter so I have to save it dry.I have a small dish in each room , like potppori...just crush with fingers as you are passing through, .I love the smell of it. I stopped at the store for a minute yesterday to get some get-well greeting cards...and thought to tell you...Dollar General has pretty cards 2 for 1.00 that really seem as good as paying 3.95 at the store. I know...to certain occasions you might want to send a Hallmark, or whatever...but I got 12 cards. Afraid they will be marked up, too.Stamps are going to continue to increase in price...you can count on that. We are definitely facing a recession...if not a depression.I also added some more cleaning products to my stash. I have very sensitive skin (to detergents). It costs a lot, but I buy Seventh Generation. clothes washing detergent. It is all natural.I think you all know more about me than my family does!1 lol Gotta get back to my rat killing...happy shopping ---as Paulete said, ,no harm done in getting it while we can, .we can always use it. As for me...with four daughters that only live for today...they may be crying "Wolf" one of these days and running to "Mama".But I always look out for Little Nick too...Ya'll remember him. Stella

I just fired off an email to my senator. I know I won't get a personal answer though. I thought we were in ruin because of the crooks that are running the financial institutions..... the ceo's, etc. So how is giving 192 millions dollars to the puerto rican rum industry gonna do that?

You're not thinking deep enough, Paulette. If 700 m is financial ruin, why wouldn't an extra 150 m help us out financially? You're not thinking like a senator (and forbid it that I would ever become one). I don't understand congressmen and I doubt if I ever will.

Stella, We have a Dollar Store here in Owensboro. I could live for a long time on the things you suggested. I find it very interesting as these are what we eat a lot of anyway. You must be an extra good shopper to know all the prices on everything off the top of your head. Sounds like they passed the bill tonight so the economy should get better I hope. We have a lot of storm warnings and these items would be good for any mishap. Thank You, Judy in KY Stella Roper wrote: > Judy...do you live close to a Dollar General store?
