RE: Where to haul the dog??
Yes,but it is my choice. The animals never 'dictated or altered' my life.

RE: Where to haul the dog??
The day will never come that I'll allow a dumb animal to dictate/alter my lifestyle.
Hmmm? I would never 'allow' a dumb animal to dictate/alter my lifestyle, either. And I've owned animals all of my life. Go figure.

RE: How do you handle leaving pets while site seeing?
We handle it as if we were home. How long can you leave them home alone? Take them for a nice walk before you go, crate them if they are small enough. Close the blinds, leave a radio/tv on to block outside noise. Keep the temperature comfortable. Keep the sight-seeing short until you get them adjusted to being alone.

RE: Hello and need some advice
We travel with a 185lb English Mastiff and a 60lb Pitbull. They are perfect campers! Don't make the mistake of traveling with your dog in the trailer, they belong in the TV-with the rest of the family!

RE: Pepsi and Horse show
dspencer, I agree. If it was a human instead of a horse, someone would have been in jail.

Pepsi and Horse show
Horse abuse
This is a story about Tennessee Walking horses being abused. Someone made a hidden video of the abuse and Pepsi cancelled their long-time sponsership of the horse show, after viewing this video. Apparently, to get these horse to raise their legs so high, bad owners use acid or trim their hooves too much, so the horse doesnt' want to touch the ground. Sad, if it's true, but Hooray for Pepsi.

RE: Homemade wine...cheap, easy and not too darn bad!
Kittykath. The wine is bubbling away on day 3! We did a little research and ordered a beer kit,too. Like I said, I am not a drinker but I do like to bake/cook and this is similar. The videos on YouTube about wine/beer making are amazing. Thanks for starting this discussion. If I get a good batch of wine, I'll be so pleased!

Jared, when you post your thread, look at the icons above the box. There is one that looks like a globe, the 10th one down the list. If you click on it, you can create a hyperlink. You can copy/paste the URL and name it,(used POP #1, etc.). This will make it easier for the reader to look at your POPs. You can edit your post right now and do this by clicking on edit.

RE: Homemade wine...cheap, easy and not too darn bad!
We went to a wine /beer supply store and got some advice and supplies. We bought a vaporlock, yeast, corks, and a hygrometer. We came home and made a batch with the frozen grape juice concentrate. Hopefully, we'll have some luck! I looked into brewing beer at home and that 'looks' pretty easy. After the initial supplies are purchased, the clerk said that homebrewed beer can cost about $20 for 3 cases. That might be next, I don't really care for beer but I have lots of relatives/friends that do!

RE: Homemade wine...cheap, easy and not too darn bad!
Found this on the internet. Sounds pretty darn easy. Might give it a go.
Freaked Out Hippie Wine Recipe
2 - 12 oz. cans frozen grape juice
3 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar
1/3 cake of yeast (Fleishmann's is best)
A large Balloon and some strong string
One Gallon Jug
First, set the grape juice out to thaw, until slushy. Next, mix the sugar thoroughly in with the grape juice. Pour the sugar and juice, into the gallon jug. Dissolve the yeast in a cup of lukewarm water and add to the juice mixture in the gallon jug. Mix everything thoroughly. Now add just enough lukewarm water to fill the gallon jug up to about 2 inches below the neck. When this is done, place the balloon over the top of neck and secure tightly with a string or heavy duty rubber band.
NOTE: This must be an air tight fit!
If you have followed all directions carefully, the balloon will soon start to expand with the gas, caused by the fermentation. Store the mixture in a cool area, 60 to 75 degrees is ideal, for a period of from 3 to 6 weeks. Check the balloon every other day. If the balloon expands too the point of bursting, untie and allow the gas to escape and then reseal. Be sure to reseal tightly to make it air tight once again. When the balloon ceases to expand, the wine is done.
WARNING: Do not bottle this wine before it is done fermenting. Bottles may exploded from excessive pressure.
Strain your wine with a cheese cloth or a tea towel and pour into bottles. Cap or cork bottles and store on their sides in a cool, dark place. All that's left now is to enjoy yourself, man.

RE: Camper "wishlist" for families with small children
Our first RV was a hybrid. We would still have it but my husband has back problems and we could not modify the bunks enough for him to sleep comfortably. They are great! Ours was easy to tow, 21 ft with a slide. It had a complete bathroom, AC, an awning,etc. Everything that a regular TT has but with the bunk ends. They were big beds, too. The only thing you are giving up with a hybrid is the bunks. They have to be folded up/down as per your set-up and take-down. Once you get the hang of it-20 minutes. You do have to be aware of condesation but they have little fans to help with that. Also be aware, if it's raining and you have to get ready to leave-you will have to dry things out when you get home. They are alot of fun and affordable!

RE: Late and in pain
I'm a little late to this forum. Here's my 2 cents. I've been in the health care biz,(never forget-it IS a business)my whole adult life. 'Pain is what the patient says it is.' I have seen young healthy men crying like babies after an uncomplicated surgery and a little old lady sitting quietly after the same surgery with multiple complications. You have to beg her to take 1 tylenol. Some people are raised to take pain more stoically.
Chronic pain can be exhausting, it is worse at night. One good way to deal with it, is to distract yourself. Reading, a hobby, etc. The pain/depression meds can alter your thinking and make it difficult to concentrate. Instead of taking an extra pill,(it's not working, anyhow)try a distraction technique. Save your simple chores to do at night,(folding laundry, doing the dishes). Come to the forum here and talk. There usually is someone, somewhere to talk to.
Water retention is related to salt intake.My Dad's cardiologist told him to think of salt as fatal poison, then eat all you want. I agree with other post to increase fresh/raw foods.
I will say a prayer on this Mother's Day Eve for all that suffer.

RE: Homemade wine...cheap, easy and not too darn bad!
I know zip about wine-making or drinking it. I use a lot of cheap Chianti for cooking but that's it. My sister is the wine-expert and goes to California wine country twice a year to buy wines. I would love to get my feet wet,(no pun) making wine. I have seen the grape juice sold in 5 gallon plastic buckets at the wholesale places. How much room do I need? Could someone give me a little primer or a point in the right direction? TIA!

RE: Simple Beer Bread
ventrman-Sorry, but I don't know how to adapt it to a machine. I can tell you this recipe is so simple, that it's no problem to do it in the oven, no kneading, no rise.

Simple Beer Bread
I got this recipe from another forum. I have it in the oven right now. I used one stick(1/2 cup) of butter and honey instead of sugar.
There are a few recipes for Beer Bread out there, but none as simple (3 minutes prep. time) and tasty as this one.. Sensational with soups, salads or just as a snack, but it won't be around long once your family gets a taste of it. Be sure to use a sheet pan or foil under your loaf pan to catch any excess butter that may drip during cooking ( I didn't have a problem with that).
Buttery Beer Bread
3 cups all purpose flour, SIFTED
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1-12oz can or bottle of beer
1/2 to 1 cup melted butter
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Sift dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Mix with beer.
3. Pour into a greased or sprayed loaf pan.
4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
6. Updated notes: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like traditional bread), mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring over the top. ENJOY!

RE: Need a winning smoked BBQ rib recipe...FAST!
I like pork, baby rack ribs but I don't like too much fuss. I start mine in a pressure cooker. Rub them with your favorite rub and use a can of beer for your liquid and give 2 racks about 20 minutes under pressure. Release pressure and finish on the grill, add your sauce towards the end so the sugar in the sauce doesnt' burn, too much. I like a little char on them. The pressure cooker makes the rub and beer infuse the ribs with flavor, and keeps them moist.
