i'm afraid that the fdic will be run bankrupt. they can't back up the big banks so they have seized them and then sold them off. if a panic happens and the public makes a run in the bank i am afraid that will start a chain reaction. most folks don't keep cash on hand or couldn't live...

use caution when trying out herbs. to much digitalis gives you a corrinary collapse. overdoses on many things can be deadly. the new herb books skip risky plants all together but the old books before the sue happy age give good details.

It's great to see folks willing to do something for themselves. when one buys extra food not a new cell phone i feel better about the world around me. i think extra supplies are great but also knowing how to do something is priceless. it's like trying to light a fire when your fingers have...

i try to do most of our food naturally but he kids and i still have treats and fast food sometimes. i garden and farm animals, then i know others that farm what i don't have already. i hesitate to pay more for organic because sometimes it's not really better. it's hard to certify if it's not...
