Nicely put, Roxanne.  

I don't even dare to call myself a wannabe homesteader , anymore, because of the petty nature of the label makers.  But, I do provide for myself; I am making preparing, to a much larger extent than I mention on this list;and  I depend on no one or no entity; so I guess I am fairly self sufficient, for where I am.

  And I try to treat others with kindness and understanding, whenever it is possible.  I believe I will simply refer to myself  (when having conversations, of this sort, 'with' myself) as a 'bobfordian'.  

p.s.  did you get any pics of the icestorm?
