    State Fair

    Parking is free, but cost of the fair is 15.00 I think. Not really sure. As for seeing how you did, you'd better have excellent vision! They rope it off so you can't get within arms reach. As for categories, there are several sub-catagories. IE: strawberry jam is separate from berry jam. Each...

    State Fair

    Decided on the baked goods! Going to do a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and blueberry muffins. Decided against the chocolate cake, bread and coffee cake. I'll turn the baked stuff in Monday. The rest I turn in today! :D

    ever want to just chuck it?

    As long as I made enough to keep the bills paid, the rest wouldn't matter. If I'm self sufficient, then the income would equal the outgo.

    ever want to just chuck it?

    Sometimes I really love my job, other times I hate it. When I say I want to "quit work " what I mean is having to work outside my home. I will never just sit and vegetate. But work at home, while hard and exhausting, is fun. I love digging in the dirt and taking care of my animals.

    Root Cellar-Anybody Have One, Want One or Ever Build One?

    I don't have one, but I want one! When I was a girl, (a few years back) , we had an unfinished (read dirt) area under the front half of the house and porch. That's where we stored potatoes. Canned goods were put under the stairs in the basement.

    ... last time I try to be nice.... (rant)

    I'd do the same! They are going to complain no matter what, so I'd just get what I wanted, and if the others want something different, or special, they can bring their own crap! You were not put on this earth to be their whipping boy! If the others complained, I'd say "It's a free meal,you don't...
