Homestead mailing list

I don't know why I didn't see your survey, but I read that book years  
ago and found it spot on for me (O), Paul (A) Maeve (A) and my Dad  
(O). Now that I think of it, it's true of Roy, too. When I attempt an  
"A" diet, I do not thrive, not even eating beans by the shovelful.

Funny, I can't drink at all. I never really equated that to the  
"eating by blood type" thing, though, interesting.

What I really want to know is...how many homesteaders are left handed?  
I am willing to bet that there is a higher pop. of left handers in the  
homesteading community than the non-homesteader.
