Have you ever cut up old wood pallets and burned them in your wood stove for heat?
I have an abundance of these and was thinking of doing it..What is the pros and cons of doing that?
What else can you do when a baby won't burp?
My son is 3.5 months old and rarely burps anymore. This is an issue because he seems to spit-up when he does decide to burp, and often times before he burps. The doctor suspects he has reflux and started him on liquid Zantac when he was around 4-5 weeks old. That really isn’t helping. We used Dr. Brown’s and Platex Advanced bottles and he doesn’t seem to get gas like he did in his newborn days.
Sometimes we will rub (in a circular motion) and pat his back for five to ten minutes with and STILL no burp. The other issue is he becomes hysterical when we remove the bottle from his mouth to burp him. He starts screaming to the top of his lungs, kicking and locking his legs up so we can’t sit him down. He’ll also jerk his body around making it extremely difficult to hold him. He is very strong and, yes, at 3.5 months he is throwing a tantrum. I have tried inserting his pacificer (which he rarely sucks) to keep him calm while I’m trying to burp him but he just spits it out.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone know where to find information on an older cast iron stove made by Dee Dai Co. LTD Taiwan?
I recently found this wood burning stove at a yard sale. It is pretty rusty and I wanted to see a picture of it when it was new so I can restore it. It has this amazing molded picture on the sides of a man and woman dancing in the mountain woods. You can even see their cabin in the background. Has anyone seen a stove like this? It has an information plate rivited on the back that says the company is Dee Dai Co. LTD out of Taiwan. But their website doesn’t have any way to search through their old stuff. Any advice?
advice on cats and wood burning stoves…?
My husband and I bought a house with a woodstove and plan to use it throughout the winter. We are nervous about out cat trying to jump on it and getting burned. People have told us that cats are usually pretty smart about this and will sense the heat first, but I am not so sure. Does any one have any experience with cats and woodstoves and possibly any tips on avoiding an accident?
Our brick fireplace is rolling smoke back into the house.?
We recently bought a tri-level house built in 1973.
In the sunken family room there is a huge red brick wood fireplace that had a woodstove ducked into the chimney by way of the face.
After we removed the woodstove we built a fire.
All of the smoke rolled right out and filled the whole house. After putting the fire out I noticed that the hole to the flue was only as big as a single red brick. The bricks on the top inside appear to be 4in fire bricks…and no damper. I do not know for sure if this is typical as this is the first brick fireplace I have owned all the rest were inserts. How can I remedy this so I can enjoy this lovely fireplace in the winter without dying from Carbon Monoxide poisoning? Also the lathe on both sides of the inside are exposed inside. I don’t remember ever seeing them on any of my previous fireplaces.
Please no mean or nasty comments, the previous owners were using the woodstove as a secondary heat source a week before we moved in and had stated they just got the chimney cleaned a month prior.

Did you know that most used up landfills turn into golf courses?
I always found that interesting. After a landfill is at capacity they will usually turn it into a golf course( in places with land to spare), They will build houses for the upper class on this land and the grass and shrubbery will flourish. How do I know this? My Republican(Mexican)Engineer husband has spent his adult career working with landfill inspection and alternative energy.Wind power, and natural gas. Got to love those Texan, Mexican, Republican environmentalists.( the ones that actually know what can work and what is a bunch of political BS)
(insert liberal self rightous crap here)
My husband just told me to mention playground and ball fields

Anything other than bundt cake?
Hi all! I recently bought the Nordic Ware bundt cake pan in the "Holiday Tree" and the "Wreath". These are the heavy cast aluminum pans.
I was wondering if any of you could suggest to me something other than a bundt cake to cook in them? These are new and not seasoned yet, and have very decorative detail in them.
I was really hoping to find something to cook in them before Christmas to take to my family Christmas party.
If you have a suggestion, please give recipe with it.
Thank-you so much!!!
