    Question for the ladies on here

    I would say it's just fine..... I mean you won't be having one for the last part of your life anyway. And if you are VERY fertile (like me) I'd say it was a lot healthier than having 8 kids. I've always used two forms of BC and this is the 2nd time it's failed me.(3rd kid though)

    Growing herbs and what do you use them for??

    Comfey is an absolute for me. Yarrow also. You can actually use a lot of your kitchen herbs as medicinal herbs as well. Example: I use a VERY strong sage tea to gargle with when I get a sore throat (wich is my main aliment) as it's very aniseptic. I love it.

    FoxFire cooking?

    I don't own any of the books but I've read most of them. I make applesause cake every fall and I love it , but that's the only recipe from Foxfire I use regularly. My favorite foxfire is the one about home remedies. Those folks used kerosine for everything!! :P

    waxing philosophical about homemade laundry soap

    Yes I hear that bread made from acorn flour is very tasty! In the SHTF situation there are several plants that can be used as soap. Horsetail is probably the most widely available across the U.S. And it grows right next to streams anyway so it's right there when you need it.
