You're right, of course. It's nice to get something back from all that money out the door. I just wish I didn't dislike doctors so much. Nah, I feel just fine about disliking them. Attorneys and politicians, too. And Monsanto - I HATE Monsanto.

So, were the carrots still good to eat? I ALWAYS leave the mess until the morning, then whine about having to clean it up first thing. Go figure.<br /><br />CR - You, my dear, may pilfer my pantry.

There are two of the four of us who feel that the minutia of their medical problems are extremely interesting to all - they are not. Oh, that must have been a mess! I always forget to drink water - thank you for the reminder!<br /><br />Michelle - I used to recycle mayo jars, but two broke AS they were cooling. That was the end of that.<br /><br />Nancy - No, but it is on my shopping list now.<br /><br />Sandy - Much better, thanks! Ooh, I wouldn't like to have to deal with scorpions - they are small and deadly! You take care! I just canned them in a very light syrup. I am still eating jam from 3 years ago!<br /><br />Lori - Oh, yeah. We live life on the edge here. And I canned some peaches, too. Very, very daring!

To bad we cant use the Vet too. I have to say that I like to make a doctors appointment since I pay all this money for health insurance and never get to go. I hate the doctor, but I have my annual exam coming up and I finally get to use the darn insurance. It will be a $4200 visit ;)Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-70038559310619860462012-07-26T08:05:40.616-04:002012-07-26T08:05:40.616-04:00Good gravy, life is never boring, that's for s...Good gravy, life is never boring, that's for sure.

One was a jar of sweet pickles that made a terrifically sticky mess all over canner and remaining good jars. The other I remember was a jar of jam that didn't let go of it's perfectly cracked off bottom until I had it halfway between canner and counter.<br /><br />Ah, all the joys of homesteading!
