My intentions were not to offend anybody or to make WV jokes. Please accept my apologies. I've been to WV and think the area is beautiful. In fact I think some of the prettiest areas are WV, Va, and...

my husband and i moved from Long island to upstate NY 3 years ago. My advise would be to first decide what you want. You like the mountains? Ocean? Desert? Skiing? swimming? etc. Then you can narrow...

the trunk MUST be at least 10 inches in diameter. That's like a 20 to 30 year old tree! As the tree gets larger, you can add more taps but i wouldn't use more than 3 or 4 on a tree; and I'm talking...

I'm doing syrup this year plus I have friends that do it professionally. If you are making syrup for yourself you don't need to worry about color and grades. If you boil your sap with wood outside,...

I had ducks when I was a kid. The ducklings need to be kept at 90 degrees, just like chicks. You can keep them in a cardboard box with a heat lamp in the house or garage, etc. I wouldn't put them...

When I was about 15, I got 2 white pekin ducks for pets. I kept them in a dog house my father built, and I had a wire pen for them. The pen was small because that was only for night use. During the...

How...

there are good websites you may want to look at, plus maybe go to a dog show. My mother's friend had one years ago, and they loved it. It use to travel with them everywhere in an over-the-shoulder...

Of course this is only a guess, but she looks like a alpine or toggenburg cross. Maybe with pygmy. Whatever she is, I like those "Goucho Marx eyebrows". /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
