    thank you. I don't argue your opinion, but I found it disagreeable to the topic. there are lots of places we can debate the issue you raise but it isn't in this thread. Everyone is entitled to an opposing view, but there is a way to do it in a dignified manner and in the right setting. You...

    Exactly my point. Taking the thread way out into left field with a flaming attitude is not helpful. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Many differ. But the direction this was taken had NOTHING to do with the subject of the thread "on a public forum" and managed only to detract from the issue in...

    Given the completely dissociative approach you seem to have taken, why not just invest in a dose of cyanide and take it now? Then you could avoid the "rush" when all the city folks in LA come looking for your stash and decide to kill you to get it. Obviously, you like to flame. Frankly, I find...

    Removing stuck screws, bolts & nuts - how-to info

    One of the more successful things I have done was to spray the rusted bolt with Liquid Wrench or Blaster PB. Then (and this is the secret)...GO AWAY and leave it alone for a day or so. Since there is no shortage of things to do on my farm, I can easily find something else to do until it is...

    I guess my only comment is "why bother with going to the Kaczynski cabin..." if no one is going to survive the "big event"? You send "mixed messages". Despite the fact that everything you said was within parameters, True, I guess my personal perspective is that you only have to go "back in...

    Who among you has defended the United States in Uniform?

    Welcome shipmate! Good to see you here. I don't come here much any more because of things like the comments above...by folks who never served. Sorry, I don't need that nonsense in my life. This thread is about those who wore the uniform of our nation and sacrificed their safety for the cause of...

    Thanks for the reply. I've been so busy lately I haven't been on SSF very much. Given the current situation, digital is the most expedient. Certainly paper is better because it won't disappear when the Internet goes down...which I believe WILL happen. But it is also nice to be able to look at...

    It is early morning...(sorta). I have finished the chores; Lou is still sleeping and WW went back to sleep after cooking me some bkfst. She is working on a sewing project that she needs for THIS WEEKEND so she seems to do better when she has enough sleep. The dogs woke us up at 0530 this AM...

    Well, it is certainly something we may have to consider. Everywhere I look, the world is coming unglued. It isn't just here...it appears to be everywhere. My life is certainly showing some signs of it...nothing I can't handle but this just seems like a bad time to have it happen. The books I...

    Well, I guess so, but so far she is still out "getting bred" and has not returned to my farm. Not sure what is going on. I have talked to the vet several times and he says she comes into heat and they try to breed her but haven't heard anything from them so far that this is the case. I guess...

    Back on topic. Yes, I am working to compile a library of as much "useful information" as I can accumulate. As I see it there are three phases to the situation we will soon face. 1. As I see it, something will decimate much of the population. What exactly will happen is anyone's guess but the...

    Right. It seems like there is something I am expected to do by a power greater than my own. Caring for someone with mental illness is a calling...a very hard, challenging and painful calling. I hope I don't fail when I am called to the "debrief"

    Well, yesterday she called me. She found out that I put money into her bank account and bought herself a TracFone so she could communicate. She still can't use the Internet but at least she decided to communicate with me. Yesterday was full of turmoil and difficulty. Her family tried to help...

    OK so I've been away for quite some time, but I found this in my SPAM folder and thought it was important. Boogity, I REALLY like the idea. I can be reached at icu4dzs AT gmail dot com I would be VERY interested in sharing things like this with you and whoever. A lot has changed in my life...

    We're talking Llama here. Are they like horses with respect ti training? I figured out how to get him into the stall and then if he wants to get back out he has to go through the grooming frame where I can get him where I want him. He has been a little shy of it, but then I have been away for...

    well, Jack has a new halter on now. I got it on him two days ago and we've had a few "walking with a lead" lessons. This morning when I went to feed him, he was wise to that trick and wouldn't do it so I stopped letting him eat grain...which he loves. Maybe a few days without grain will...

    Well Jack has taken up socializing with the cows. He spent a long time by himself on one side of the pasture gate (which I had opened for him to come closer to the buildings) but would not cross because of the swampy, deep mud on that side of the gate. For a few days, even the cows wouldn't...
