shortages

on top of that, avoiding having to find boxes for packing up all over again. i moved so many times for years that i kept my boxes and knew what fit in each of them so it went quickly to pack up and unpack again.

I'm looking for a farm! I really don't want to get settled in here. I am grateful for a place to be, but I want my own place. I can put boxes under a bed. LOL

i know and good luck in your search! some friends of mine were able to leverage some funds they had so they've ended up with 20 acres of good farmland for $10,000. that's an amazing result and i sure wish i'd been able to do that myself.

Wow… you can’t get anything for $10,000 here now!

How big of a farm?

Texas never crashes. With so many people moving here for jobs, real estate will continue to go up. Prices may level off in another couple of years, but I don’t see prices going down. For Texas to crash, the whole world would have to be in a depression. Not bragging, just read lots of economics articles. It can get tough, inflation is on the rise, my money in the bank is worth less each day. Thus my diligent search for moving NOW. Again. And building fence. Again. It’s official, I am an idiot. LOL

No less than 10 acres, preferably 20 acres and up. Run down farm house is fine with me.

Like you, I wanted 10, Almighty obviously had other plans. I'm still in agreement with you. There is a farm with your name on it.

We WERE energy independent. Now we are not.

I looked up oil imports from Russia, we only imported THREE PERCENT of our oil from Russia. Banning oil from Russia is not responsible for high prices at the pump. The unrest and war shakes markets across the globe, causing futures to soar, thus high prices. The attack on Ukraine IS Russia's fault-entirely. Paying ridiculous prices for fuel is not a donation to Ukraine or freedom. I consider it a kick in the teeth to hard working American families. If we shut off imports and ramped up our own production, we could make it. Not to mention American jobs. We might still have high prices, but blaming it on cutting off Russian imports is a big fat lie.

Boycotting Russia by McDonalds, Starbucks, Cocoa Cola and Pepsi is the responsible and right thing to do. Every American company with a presence in Russia needs to close up shop and leave.

High fuel prices are impacting everything we buy and consume. Train cars don't line up at grocery stores, 18 wheelers do. That cost will be passed on to every single item that comes off a truck. Everything is going up, the sky is the limit. Factor in rising inflation and it gets scary.

I could not have said it better myself! 1000% agree with you

i'm not sure where you're getting your information from? we've not really been independent of our neighbors for many years. electricity we get from Canada (and now Mexico as there are some cross border installations), oil we've at various points been an exporter and importer with recent years we've nearly reached parity or are now exporting some oil, but we also import it (for various reasons). natural gas we export.

yep, it's just a small amount and no reason for what has happened, however, the biggest thing that will increase prices quickly would be everyone running out and buying more fuels all at once and also increased demand from other countries bidding up prices.

it will take some time to get production increased, it doesn't happen instantly. even if they release oil from the reserves that still has to make it through the pipes to the refineries and then from there to the gas stations. it takes time.

seems like they are.

gardening is looking better and better. i don't care if it means i have to work outside and sweat a little, but it will be interesting if enough people will be willing to do that or not. i'm willing to teach those who'll listen or ask questions.

Time to stock up on flour

Analysis: Russia-Ukraine conflict highlights wheat supply vulnerability

The threat to wheat supplies from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been exacerbated by a shift in global stocks away from major exporters such as the United States and European Union, undermining their effectiveness as a cushion in times of crisis.

On my list for this weekend, along with dt coke, lots of it. (I don't usually drink soda but over the next 3 months we have a HS play, First Communion, 7 yr old dance recital, Show Choir Show and 2 choir concerts--oh and chicks, yep chicks).
