    Overpopulation...how does this set with you?

    Anybody that believes that the world is in trouble because the population is growing and there isn't t enough farmland to feed all of those people has not driven through any of the plains states and seen all of the farmland NOT being farmed because the farmers are being paid to NOT farm it...

    Question about Chicken Feed

    Thanks for your input everyone. I got it a couple of nights ago. The guy actually had it delivered for nothing. He is over three hours away and he had a friend who lived near me coming out for pheasant hunting. So he brought back 1000 lbs with him. I wasn't sure how much space 1000 lbs would...

    I need someone to explain elctricity to me.

    It is possible, but not sure how much "heat" you're talking about. Enough to heat a house? That is unlikely. I don't have a lot of time to go into it now, but ohms law is still ohms law and you can't change it.

    Can you believe some people?!?!?

    I guess I have a different opinion on the reasons why there is so much abuse nowadays. I think more people ARE getting involved more than they have in the past, and it hasn't stopped the abuse. I like your signature, by the way: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish...

    We tithe on the gross as well. Malachi 3:10,11 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for...

    Can you believe some people?!?!?

    I couldn't agree with you more about the "total nanny state". It is bad enough as it is. It's best to take care of it yourself, in a self-sufficient way, without getting the authorities involved.;)

    Can you believe some people?!?!?

    I pretty much agree. If you really care about the cats, handle it by talking in person and offering to help the situation. It seems these days there are a lot of people mad about this kind of thing, but it used to be common place for farmers to cull unwanted cats and/or dogs by shooting...

    Question about Chicken Feed

    I have an opportunity to get chicken feed at a pretty good price. It is made up of some spilled grain and cleanings from mostly golden flax. Everything in the bag is organic but not certified. It is made up of spring wheat, buckwheat, oats and golden flax along with weed seeds and stems. Is...

    First time I have seen this thread! Looks like a good one. On the children in church misbehaving, i understand completely. Our church has a children's pastor that holds a service geared towards kids with puppet shows, lessons, etc. Anyway, just wanted to say i like this thread. Oh, and if...

    What's your fav. deer rifle?

    :D I love the 30-40 Krag! My dad has one with the open site. My son used it to drop 3 deer in the last half our of the day last year. Pretty nice for a nearly 100 year old gun. Another favorite is the 270.

    Are you ready for winter?

    As far as codes go, I am pretty sure you can't have duct work going between your garage and house.....(maybe I read what you said incorrectly?) Anyway, if that is what you have, I would check if that is under code. I think the reason they don't allow duct work between garages and the living...

    David Ramseys Finance Univerisity has anyone take it here

    We took this a few years ago at our church and really liked it. Most of it is common sense stuff, but it helps to have that common sense reinforced. A lot of what he says is Biblical.

    Ya all might wanna read up on EO13575.......

    Definitely one of those things that makes you go "Hmmmmmmmmmm.........." Anybody else see the 25 members of this council? Talk about intrusive. And I don't know why we should be afraid to post about such things. It has everything to do with our ability to be self sufficient.

    Railroad ties OK for a raised bed garden?

    Proof that once the "green" people get something banned or negativity associated to that something, it is difficult for people to think rationally about it even when the real facts are presented later.

    Railroad ties OK for a raised bed garden?

    Nice job egg rookie! I haven't had time to take a look at the ties yet. If I decided to use them, I too was planning on lining the bed with plastic.

    No it isn't. Well, it might be "free" for some people. You know, the ones that don't pay for anything the rest of us provide. ;)

    Heal Naturally - Go To Jail

    Sorry that you took it wrong. It wasn't meant to be a slam on anyone. I have absolutely no problems with doctors. In fact, my wife is a nurse so half of our income comes from the medical field. My comment is more on the lines of saying that I avoid them as long as I can. Some people can't and...

    Heal Naturally - Go To Jail

    Couldn't agree with you more. As far as doctors go....who goes to doctors? I don't think I have been to one in 10 or 15 years.
