I just wanted to mention, to cover my bases - if anyone decides you may want to try the HCG diet (refer to last post), I thougth I should share a little more info: Surprisingly enough there ARE scammers out there, but that doesn't mean there are no legitimate sellers. The website I used was HCGbasics.com - not that that is the only, or perhaps best resource - just what I used, and just f.y.i. There are quite a few sites, sellers, information, and youtube videos available as resources. There are risks (usually listed on the sites) and possible side-effects, as with, well...pretty much anything. For the record, of the 28 days I did this diet, 2 of them I felt really weak and just exhausted - but that is all the side-effects I encountered. Also, research the diet, learn all the aspects of it before you decide to do it. Its not easy, it is kind of hard especially those who have a hard time with self-control. This diet is up to you to follow the instruction SPECIFICALLY, and a couple of times I didn't, and each time I regretted it. But, again, it worked...so far. :)

I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year. I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations. The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres. The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard. Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store. We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...
