    Can you tell me what this means?

    This isn't a doomsday scenario and I told you I know it's a pseudonym. Truly none of you have ever heard of zerohedge? Most of the people who write for it use pen names because they work in finance. This isn't a doomsday scenario it is evidence of a crime. So what does it mean it means at...

    Can you tell me what this means?

    I know the last time I posted a Tyler Durden article I was roundly chastised. But, THIS Tyler Durden is followed by some very sound minds in some very high places. No, I don't know who he really is. I DO know people I respect from multiple places keep sending me his articles. I got this one...

    Children's chores.

    TV is a privilege. Toys are a privilege. Extra things in their rooms are a privilege. Any and all are taken if the rules are not followed. You will always get weather appropriate clothes. You will always get food. You will always get shelter but none of those three need to be what you...

    Anyone make $ from selling breads/baked goods?

    I have managed to sell to a local bed and breakfast, and special orders from friends and relations. The bed and breakfast gig was good at first, they were happy to be able to say they got their fresh bread from the same farm their eggs came from. But we could not produce enough eggs to keep...

    Trespassing?

    I'm with you sunshine DH pulled a gun on his own mother once for trespassing. She was playing a "halloween joke" and came onto the property wearing a stocking over her face and dressed like a bum. As our house had been broken into and I have been threatened before ( I work sometimes with...

    low intervention births ( carryover from BYC)

    Hey horse - I am sorry I did not have a doula - I think you mean some one else. OK here goes: I am small. I think all women should know that not all women's bodies are the same. Some of us are built better for birthin' babies than others. Had I lived even 50 years ago I would not have...

    It has always cracked me up how few people have ever stopped to wonder why Easter is celebrated on the first sunday, after the first full moon after the spring equinox.......

    What SS Mistakes Have You Made?

    Not enough fencing. Someone gave DD a book on how to feed the birds. I said, "Spend 200 on supplies, spend hours putting in a garden and there you go!" You've fed the birds! And the rabbits and the deer and the groundhogs and and and Can;'t say I am not doing my part to support my local...

    The Self-Sufficient Skills thread (new name, old thread!)

    I took a canning class this last fall, what I canned tasted great so it was all gone by Christmas!! So next lesson: put up more food!! I learned all about chickens and raising them. I learned about tensing and harvesting and then canning heritage grapes. (Dang seeds!) I learned how to...

    Easter on a budget

    We're pagan, so we celebrate Ostara. The date has already passed for us so we do a secular bit on Easter sunday so the kids don't feel left out. But, we focus on it being spring! We have small baskets, not too much candy, they get enough of that that we still have Halloween candy to work...

    An awesome documentary that in the end proves the point

    If we had a large enough group of people it would work to take over a place like Cairo for a return to subsistence farming, but too few and some of us would need jobs off the farm and Cairo's biggest problem is a lack of jobs. :rolleyes: So who wants to go first??

    An awesome documentary that in the end proves the point

    Detroit is doing a sort of urban homesteading..... Like the way the West was settled, if you come in and maintain the land eventually it will become yours. In a few cases I have heard of you have to pay a $20 to $50 title transfer fee. In most they did not ask for back taxes or anything...

    free ranging.....and it didn't cost me a dime!

    You might want to anchor it. My niece did the exact same thing - it even really looks like the same brand of cage - and they managed to flip it on the side and whooooosh they were gone!! Like Dace, she had three girls and I think they done got some ants in their pants if you catch my drift...

    An awesome documentary that in the end proves the point

    Most of us here recognize the future will be different than many people believe. This BBC documentary, beautifully done and not insulting to your intelligence is worth the time and very worth the ending!! Yes, it is broken up into pieces, but the BBC hasn't allowed it in the US yet. So...
