I used to love to go to my families place out on a small pond. Lately though it is overrun with sand fleas. They really make it miserable unless you are actually in the water. I've tried spraying the area with Raid but that was useless. I don't want to disturb the delicate ecosystem but I don't...

I remember as a chubby little kid watching all the kids swing from the rope out into the water. It looked so easy. When it was my turn I grabbed on and went to swing right out but I immediately let go because I was heavier than I expected. Unfortunately I let go over the shore and not the water...

Even in winter people fish so I don't see why they would stop carrying worms. I've never not been able to get bait when I've wanted it so I don't see why this would be a problem.

I wouldn't know a meteroite from a rock if it fell from the sky and hit me on the head. I don't know about looking for them anyway. What about mutant space bacteria?

I want to get one of those ez up canopies. They have them at a local liquidation store for 200.00 but that seems kind of high. Has anyone bought one? How much did you pay? Do they last?

Thanks everyone. It is definitely not my boots. I've tried various sizes and styles and I always have this problem. Even if I'm walking for any distance in sneakers I get this problem. I actually think Dinosaur might be right though. I've thought about going in the past but I've just felt like...

I find herbs are way easier than veggies and they grow faster too. Be careful of Mint though, it will take over everything! The only herb I have a hard time with is Cilantro.

I mix the vinegar with the milk before measuring my powdered ingredients. By the time everything else is measured, the vinegar has thickened the milk. You can also use lemon juice in place of vinegar if you want. Just use about twice the amount of lemon juice as you would vinegar and it works great.

I could never limit to only four! We always bring a lot of lemons and fresh garlic- at least a dozen fists of garlic. For powdered spices: Garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, 7spice (which is an Arab mixture of spices) cinnamon and nutmeg.

I'm pretty sure the fear of incriminating snow burn on the face everywhere except for where your ski goggles cover is what prevents most of us from playing hookey from work to enjoy an extra day of skiing.

If I want a wheat flour I just stick with what I can get in the grocery store. I do use other types of flours though. I use amaranth, buckwheat and oat flour quite a lot when I'm making pancakes. And Grandpa I couldn't agree with you more about much of the organic trade. I don't even look for...

As long as I can see a hint of shore I'm fine but I don't like being all the way out in a small vessel. It makes me feel very lost and disoriented... I'm fine on a cruise liner though, then I'm just disoriented from the margaritas.

It doesn't seem to matter how low I cut it or how wide my shoes are, I have this problem with my baby toenail irritating the toe next to it. It doesn't bother me when I'm just walking about town doing errands but when I'm out on the trail it can turn into a painful bloody mess. I've tried a...

How does this happen in the first place? I'm having a difficult time imagining myself stranded on a mountain in the snow with no sunglasses. Seriously how did this man get himself into this predicament.

My son is feels terrible and can't sleep so I told him we can go out into the living room and he can pick anything he wants to watch from Netflix. My four year old son is now happily sitting on the couch drinking ginger ale and watching Glee. GLEE? When did this happen?

We usually just pack a ball of some sort but we don't even always use it. During the day we do exploring. At night we sometimes play games like Mafia or we'll tell a story a sentence at a time and everyone takes turns adding on a sentence. The kids like that one.

Wow that's a regular metropolis compared to the lonely huts I saw out on Moosehead Lake while visiting relatives there! I guess folks in Maine just like to live a little more simply.

...Do you bury your poo? Exactly how does that work? What is the poo etiquette when out on the trail? I've never even camped any place without a toilet so I'm completely ignorant on this subject.

Thanks Jason, I initially suspected that it was because he has an Arab name but we knew Arabs in other parts of the country who were Masons. Knowing that each lodge acts independently makes more sense.

It's not easy I know. I would suggest that you visit where he will be riding and only allow him to ride in approved places. Is there any sort of safety course he can take? My kids never had ATVs but I was a basket case when my daughter started driving. Moms are sometimes crazy, it's in our DNA!
