Chickens are not considered pets, they are livestock. Many areas have rules for livestock including minimum grazing areas. In my rural area, you have to have 5 acres to be able to be zoned a farm.

I am a baby when it comes to pain, the mohs surgery was just not that big of a deal. The thing that annoyed me was that the spot was too small for them to see, there was a delay due to communication with my doctor, yet i wound up with an inch long plus scar, and my right eyebrow is at least 1/2...

Are you living your life, or are you trying to live your father's life? Why have you decided that a 12 hour day is an ideal you are required to match? Why are you in the field of law if you no longer enjoy it? I felt when reading your post that there are a lot of "shoulds" in your life, that...

Tilling destroys the soil structure causing hard clumps over time which need to be broken up, needing more tilling. It destroys fungal colonies which feed plants, particularly perennial plants. Tilling destroys a lot of soil critters thst add fertility and allow oxygen through. I realize in...

I'm still in the "struggle" phase. I'm in a rural area where there aren't a lot of activities. I have a number of hobbies but am lacking in social connections. Still working on this and trying lots of things. My life feels a bit self centered now as most if my activities improve only my...

Every morning for at least an hour- treadmill, rower, stationery bike, weights. I've been doing that routine for 25+ years in my basement. Also do yoga once a week in a group setting and occasional hikes.

I'm 3 years in, and still struggling from time to time. I have plenty of things to "keep busy" but not enough activities where I get the sense of accomplishment that I need. I also in need of local friends to do spontaneous things with. A number of acquaintances, just not friends (yet). I've...

I am feeling similarly isolated and alone. The senior centers where I do a number of activities are closed for the month of January. The weather has been super cold, and there is a mix of ice and snow on the ground, so my favorite hiking trails are treacherous. Its too early to plan or...

I'm keeping my account, because I can still help make introductions for others.

I use one daily that is kind sized. The adult size kept falling off the bed due to its own gravitational field. ;). Too big and too heavy, but not an issue with the kind size one. It is kinda hot but that's what i want in the winter. It its too much, i just kick up a corner.

0 for me. The good restaurants are gone for the most part. I'm a pretty good cook with a veg/herb garden for fresh ingredients and a vegetarian spouse. I do go out when meeting friends and I'm often disappointed with either the quality or the price.

I finally got my 2019 refund after 14 months.

I'm still waiting on my refund for 2019, mailed March of 2020. In November I got a notice I was missing a form which I mailed the next day. When I called a couple of weeks ago, I was told it's still on hold but they couldn't explain why.

I visit Mom once a week, I live an hour away. I had never had a good relationship with my mother. She has always been incredibly selfish and self centered and said many painful things to me when growing up. She and I are completely different people in so many ways, and wouldn't have much to...

We mailed our return at the end of March and the first week of November got a notice we omitted a form. As a result our refund will be 6k instead of 5k, but I've not heard/seen anything further. I've never seen anything like this.

I fertilize (organic) in the fall when I remember. All my energy goes to various gardens and not my lawn.

I bought them, think they are horribly overpriced for what they are, look kinda cheap/tacky, but they do protect more of the carpet than the rubber mats I can buy from the dealership, and here in snowy/muddy New England, coverage is important.

A couple of cheap additions: sprouts made in a jar, doesn't require refrigeration while growing and only after its full size if you don't eat them all at once. You can put a days worth of sprouts in each jar to minimize refrigeration. Just need rinsing twice a day. Last time I calculated...

I'm not seeing any vegetables in your diet, and only one fruit, plus a lot of carbohydrates. IMO, not a healthy balanced diet. You might save money in the short term but will likely pay for it later in health issues. Since I'm only cooking for 2, I do bulk cooking where I will cook a batch...

My husband is on Medicare (so minimal there for his Part B and a medicare advantage plan). Mine is $126/month for premium. Much better coverage and cheaper than when I was employed. I am in MA, and intentionally quit in May to keep my income under the 4x poverty level to get a subsidy.

I'm now a month into this retirement thing. It's awesome. My last days were kind of weird. I've been working from home full time for the last 3 or so years. Our corporate office moved a couple of years ago from just-barely-commutable on the edge of the Big City to center of the city with...

Me too. I'm still in the infancy of my retirement (this is my first month) but I'm determined not to waste it. I have picked a few areas to get outside of my comfort zone and have a weekly planning session (like 10 minutes) where I think about I have extended myself and what I want to do next...

And here I thought I was living comfortably, yet what I spend in an average year is only half of what this article thinks I need....

In many cities, there is a arts/gallery district with a one evening a month gallery walk (often "First Thursday" or some such title). Often times, some drinks and possibly snacks are free or cheap.

Tomorrow is my last day. Since I work at home, there are no parties, or groups of well wishers. Its rather anti-climatic. I've cancelled all my meetings, met with HR and my boss. Nothing really left to do, but I'll be online tomorrow trying to find someone in IT to send me the paperwork to...
