    wind turbines all around...

    We have a few in our area. Some seem to be locked down. Don't know why. It gets really windy here sometimes, but then sometimes it's totally still. I would like to get one of those things that measures wind speed. Can't think of the name right now. Last time I looked on line they were kind of...

    New (to me) "soy" sauce!!

    I always thought Soy Sauce was made out of bugs. We always called it bug juice.

    Now where did I leave those big girl panties...?

    Put a bag over their head so you don't have to look at that cute face and bill.

    This might be a little OT but not completly

    I'd pull the burner out. Usually 2 small screws where it plugs in. Be sure to cut the breaker. Take it to an appliance part store and see if it has a short in it. Shouldn't cost more than 30.00. They should be able to put an ohm meter on it. Might have a spot burning out. An appliance repairman...

    Interesting Statistic

    It's the same as eggs. It will take years to recoup initial investments. It's worth it though for the extra flavor and better nutritional value. We grow about 500 lbs of tomatoes per season. The supermarket tomatoes have hardly any flavor and are thick skinned to hold up to mechanical...

    This makes me truly angry

    For sure. They just aren't as prevalent as they are in some countries. Most of ours are fed. They are just malnourished because of the content of the food they buy with the help they get. Yep the media is always barking about B/S or what Lindsey Lohan stole to day or the latest reality show...

    Cleaning Faux wood 2" wide blinds

    Thanks for the info. These blinds came with the house when it was new. I'm quite sure they are molded in the color white. They can be had at HD for 69.99. So if they fall apart I'll just dump them and get something else. Trying to not spend the money if I can. :)

    We Felt Our First Quake Tonight

    Maybe Arkansas will fall into Tx. I've been in a couple quakes in California. It's scary because where you are when it happens controls your survival. It's not like you can see or hear it coming and get to a safe place.

    Interesting Statistic

    I wish it was real instead of metaphors. So far everything I've seen in the way of food production isn't really saving much. It does however provide you with a better quality safer product. It also makes it so that if prices on fresh produce get seriously out of hand there is always a plan B...

    This makes me truly angry

    Our current media is to blame. We have media outlets that don't report news. They fabricate it and present it as fact. Then people vote based on what they have heard on that outlet. The country is controlled by a very small handful of people. It is scary, but I think most countries are the same...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    Don't bother I tried. Of course my perspective is different than yours so it might not get deleted. So I'll say my piece right here. What the governor is trying to do in his efforts to abolish workers rights is just wrong. That being said what the 14 Senators is doing is also wrong. They...

    This makes me truly angry

    Maybe it's a back door way of punishing people that cause a miscarriage through an auto accident or a boyfriend beating up his pregnant girlfriend. It's probably also an attempt at doing an end run around Rowe vs Wade. That's all it could be in a highly conservative state like Georgia.

    Cleaning Faux wood 2" wide blinds

    I've got 2" wide faux wood slat type blinds on the kitchen window. They are greasy dirty and I was wondering if it's possible to clean them in the bathtub with a hand held spray head. Mostly I am worried about the strings that hold them together and if it will deteriorate them.

    Silver Coins WTSHTF?

    Koxxx, sounds like you got a nice setup for an SS person. Sounds like just about zero services available, but then you don't pay anything for them. That's pretty darn fair. ICU4days Why do you mention the very small % of people in this country that buy illicit drugs. They make up a very small...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    I agree with you that illegal immigration needs to be brought under control. I don't ever see it happening though. The dems want the Latino vote and care about the human rights issues. The pubs of course want the cheap labor force that has absolutely no rights and can be completely controlled...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    I would guess it's mostly a one sided thing. There are a lot of militias forming in Idaho and Montana. They practice maneuvers where they simulate some pretty far out scenarios based on Obamas alleged ties to the Muslim faith. Of course Sharia law figures into it and they practice taking control...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    I'm scared now. I have Xenophobe phobia. I would guess that they might be doing this thing with Canada because they are worried about all the somewhat crazy militias that are popping up all over Montana and Idaho. By the way. Since when are the liberals promoting illegal immigration? The...

    More problems discovered with the useof Roundup

    I heard something about that on the radio this week. Something about it affecting bees too. This is only one study, but it sure does indicate that more needs to be done. Of course they may already be fully aware of this and feel that the additional yields produced through the control of the...

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    You only live 50 miles from me. We had about 3 snow flakes this morning. Now we have sunshine. We do have the ever present wind though.
