FarmerChick, I second that. Truth is maybe if more of us DID walk/ ride bikes, the trucks and vehicles would become more accustomed to dealing with us all, huh? The go-cart idea was pretty cool too. LOL

enjoy the ride, I'm the same way with borrowing and buying to 'pay' for help :rolleyes: I don't know why I feel compelled to do that, but I've done it MORE than once. LOL I've been working at doing so many of these things for so long and NOT getting them all done. I love coming to this board to...

I know huh? That is the part about biking, especially in rural areas. (and especially with children) the danger involved in getting from one place to another. While I had five acres and were 'out' of larger populated areas, the one big highway connecting us to the (very small) NE OK town we were...

YES! I loved to go to Gurley Street Grill, they made a beef stroganoff to die for. And I'm not going into beer as that is an all day (and night affair) I had a love affair with 'Whiskey Row' LOL Lizards, Matt's, The Bird Cage. There was a bike rally west of Prescott called 'Too Broke for...

dacjohns, After reading the posts and noticing the forum it's in (How to Save Energy) I'm thinking the original idea was to see how many of us are walking/biking, etc to keep fuel down to a minimum? I think that's the idea. A common thread here is that it is either unsafe, completely...

I live in town, not out in the country. A small town, but 'town' nonetheless! I have a few trees that are over fifty feet, but not within 60 or 70 feet of where I'd like to put the generator. I haven't found out 'for sure' that I am going to be allowed to do this, but if I am not, I intend to...

Thanks for sharing everyone! Nice to 'meet' you Tommy! We're almost neighbors... ! Glad to know your grandmother is keeping land in the family too. My grandmother was left out of her husband's land when he didn't leave a proper will, it is very sad. Land is precious and there IS a ton you can do...

Hi! :) I lived in Prescott for four years and Phoenix for one (eww!) I hated Phoenix, but I loved Prescott. I just missed the 'green' of Oklahoma I am only thirty minutes from Broken Arrow! Wow, what a small world we live in!

That is SO very cool! I have wanted a windmill since I was a little girl. My grandfather's arm was cut off in a sawmill accident, just below his elbow before he even got married and had his own children (my dad) ;) And my grandmother used to tell us that he got it chopped off in a windmill. I...

yeah Gina!! :) If we can all 'take the plunge' you can too ! I spent two hours putting photos up on photobucket to send this in, LOL (i'm so embarrassed) but once I got going, I thought, hey! Now when someone from the family wants to see photos of the new grandbaby and that instead of sending a...

Wow. I just joined this forum this morning and just spent the last ten minutes going through this thread. HOW COOL to put names with faces of people all over the world that are working on being self sufficient. Just cool. I'm like the rest of you... not crazy about posting a photo. It's like...

LOL Quail_Antwerp I'm trying to decide which way to go here... I claim to be an Okie, but I was born at the AF base in Wichita Falls Texas, Aaaahahaha. But I'd have to say definitely yes. ;)

Hi all! I'm new here and resurrecting this thread a bit.. I was taking a class at our local college and the biology teacher was working on his thesis. It wasn't exactly on windpower, but on the effect that cellular towers have on birds.. it's not NEARLY as bad as they expected it to be. My...

Hey everyone! Claremore (NE Oklahoma) here! Nice to 'meet' you all. I lived in Arizona for five years, Homesteadmom, and you're right! It's prettier back here! I didn't realize how much I'd missed it.
