Hey Tommy,
Just dropping in to say how much I admire you and your family. You really are working hard at the ss stuff. Keep up the good work with the bills and the new chickens.
I also live and was raised on the rez. It is a hard life but one I wouldn't trade for a million bucks. We...
I am so sensitive that if people were to make me feel taken advantage of I would be ruined for good. I feel for you guys who have been used. I know that it hurts sometimes to help others and they should appreciate your kindness.
As for borrowing out money; I always only give money that I am...
Shareneh, I understand completely!!! I can honestly say that every church I've ever attended has been a disappointment when it comes to true Christianity and fellowship. I go anyway because the Bible tells me to, but I don't feel loved or nourished by those people
Yeah, I know, I tried that...
Yeah, I used to attend church three times a week. Wednesday nights and twice on Sunday. I guess that's where they get the saying "once a week and twice on Sunday". I really got into the church, I was a sunday school teacher, church secretary, van driver, cook and all around worker.
Me and my...
Sorry to hear about the roll over Bee.
You know what? I think you will get all those things that you want. I think that they will be provided and none of your plans will have to wait. I really think you don't have to worry about that stuff happening because you deserve to get it.
Ask and it...
Obama is being pushed hard by my neice's teacher. She came home and told me that her teacher said that GW Bush was a war monger and that Obama was better than Bush.
I advised my neice to tell her teacher to state the facts, she can't be on one side or another and she can't tell the kids what...
I bought a hedgehog at the pet store for $175.
I put it in an aquarium and covered it with a mesh top. The hedgehog was unfriendly to say the least. A hedgehog is covered with sharp spikes all over it's body. It stabbed me everytime I tried to hold it. For the first three months the...
That is disgusting. You would think that the stupid mayor would have at least waited for people to harvest before taking the land. I bet he doesn't get voted in again. On the other hand, he will probably make a great deal more money with shady deals down the road. How can he sleep at night...
Something must have been telling me that I had all I need yesterday when I posted this. I came home from work about 8:30 am and found my chicken coop smoldering! The chickens must have been raising a fuss and somehow knocked a lamp into the pine shavings. It was so smoky. My cousin was with...
This is what I mean.
We are self sufficient and we also have enough to give to others.
I love my new lifestyle. I am not worrying so much about just my family, I have branched out. I look to help when I can. Before becoming ss I felt I never had enough time to help. I worried about...
Times are hard right now. The economy is down, the energy rates are up and people are just having a rough winter all around.
I know there are a lot of unsung heros on this forum. I would like to hear what little things you do to help your neighbor.
There is a story about a Michigan man who...
We have 3/4 of an acre. We have a chicken coop with a run on both sides, a large shed and two small patches of grass for a lawn. We grow veggies and flowers around the borders of the house and yard. I have plans for a nice clothesline and garden this summer. My neighbor lady also has room...
I have recently decided to scale back. No reason other than I was sick of chasing my tale when it came to paying bills and figuring out which new gadget to buy. It seemed like I was never satisfied. I decided to clean the basement one day and found things there that I had bought but never...
We have lived with coyotes for as long as I can remember. Thankfully they haven't ever came through town or accosted any farm animals.
Cougars are the main scare around here. My son was running for excercise about a mile out of town and no kidding a cougar crossed the road at a trot in...
