OH! Oh that is just so wrong. That cold weather stuff must be a Russian conspiracy.

Let's talk bones. I have been commissioned to henna some animal skulls. Problem is, they are still fresh as in, one still has hair on it. I've been told not to boil them because the teeth will fall out and she wants the teeth in them. Someone recommended I soak them in a septic tank solution such as Rid X. Have any suggestions or experience? We don't have any ant hills to put them on and winter is coming on fast.

Yes, I have wifi in my outhouse!
I have always let them sit out in the weather. The maggots and time clean them pretty well. Assuming you won't have that kind of time, I found this - hope it helps.

Oh, man. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I do skulls for people occasionally, I boil them with some dish soap (or oxyxclean if you can get it) for a couple hours. I then scrape any leftover flesh off the skull with a junk knife. If any teeth fall out a little superglue fixes that. Then I coat the entire skull with 40 volume cream for hair salons. Its a peroxide solution that bleaches the skull to a nice white (wear gloves!!!), let it soak for 24 hours and rinse. It should be a nice clean white color.
There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.
Him-"Whats the best knife for survival?"
Me-"the one that's in your pocket."
Him-"I don't have one in my pocket."
Me-"Exactly."
Winter is coming. Let's hope it's not a nuclear one.

My daughter will be turning 16 this month. I think I'm doing this whole parenting thing right.
She ties her own seats.

Got the parenting thing down you think???
Just wait until she turns 30 and tells you about all the stuff she did that you did not know about!
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

I was a single parent too and it can be rough, especially at the age your two are. Grown but still your babies.
I remember sitting down on my daughter's 18th birthday and realizing that I had gotten both of them to legal adulthood without burying either of them or visiting them in prison, and I was not yet a grand-dad!
I had not done everything right, but I had done something right, maybe just enough.
That was a good day.

That, my friend, is better than winning the lottery twice.
My son has Asperger's so is not as active (and not the social creature my daughter and I are) and absolutely hates to have his picture taken, so most of the time I don't take his picture. He is 19. He doesn't drink, smoke, lie, cheat or steal, not out getting anyone pregnant, is working on his GED and does his chores most of the time with out reminding. I'm good with that.

Kinda of the same way we looked at it...
When DD reached 21, graduated from high school and asst degree...gainfully employed, bought and paid for her first new car and insurance....as well no drugs, failed marriages yet, babies, arrest record....and still spoke to us.
Even became a neatnik after the big spider incident....(long story)
Had survived years of Rondys, shooting throwing hawks and knives.....good open fire camp cooking and camping many different ways.
Still holds the record time in the Frieson Mud Pit Runs...
Turned out pretty well.....She's 44 now....
Hang in there, MOM you are doing something right.
