Most of the cotton fields here in Low Georgia were soybeans a couple of years ago. What happened is the cotton crop in India was especially low, so Ga farmers are taking the opportunity not only to grab higher prices but also to grab the cotton market back from overseas. My neighbors are...

We cook chili like that - and as a neat coincidence we had chili tonight. Only difference was we did it fast this time and used canned beans..... Anyway, with dried beans we soak the beans overnight first. The next day (cooking and eating them day) we change their water. We pour the water...

As it so happens, I was going to the range today. I had that little gem running through my head the whole time I was there. I was sure I had seen that guy somewhere before, and now I remember where - it's Elmer Fudd! Be veewwwwy quiet - he's hunting wabbits.....

I really don't have anything to say.....

Much safer in the military than driving a car

Alright First off, I was a college drop-out at the usual college age. At that time around 2/3 of the people who started college never finished. I was an adult student later - very focused, knew what I wanted and made A's. Hated the young students during that time, watching them being a...

I don't have a "real" job. I work for Local Government.

I have to deal with flouride every day - it's my job. I hate it. There are studies that have proven it does little good and possibly has some serious bad side effects as well. Yet for every such study with such results somebody has a study that says it is wonderful shtuff. The stuff is a...

:rolleyes:

Ya'll lost me when you brought up Glen Beck and Nostradamus sorry just not my cup of tea

Very astute. Very well phrased. I wish I had said that.....

Split it and make wattle fencing - or cover that with clay and make a wattle & daub house. Bean poles Trellis - tho it won't last that too terribly long Split fine and make a porch shade Most anything you need relatively short term structures, it's very light and strong

I never was very good at Wall St type stuff - but I'll be watching this thread

My apologies for my contribution to the thread drift - it was very interesting however and someone should start a thread on the Amish, Menonites and such. The original Q was: I think it is already happening. It is almost like the "frog in the pot" scenario, as it is going rather slowly. Not...

I'm glad you chimed in - I think I remember seeing that you have a successful solar oven. Insulation is corrugated cardboard There was a breeze I'm starting to wonder if the aluminum flashing I used isn't shiny enough. I understand that people make solar ovens with aluminum cooking foil, so I...

Went and got a new pane of glass today at the big "home improvement" box store. Of my entire shopping list, that was the only thing I could find. I am certain that American retail giants do things to deliberately P me off. Me in particular - but that's another story. Anyway, with the new...

Sorry, I do seem to be having trouble explaining myself today.... I am not saying that prepping is shutting out. Whether you do that or not is irrelevant to whether you are prep'd up or not. I put forth a statement that the world is changing, and there are two ways to survive: adapt or find...

okay, I got nothing . . . . what were we talking about before we went Amish?

I feel you there. Hoeing by hand just plain sux.

Yeah? And my very point was that times are changing, as they always do, and we are all going to have to adapt to them or find some very remote corner of the world to hide in. My Grandparents told me about the Great Depression in the South. They told me they barely noticed. Grandaddy did say...
