Thanks! My mood is better than it has been in longer than that.... and I'm not taking, drinking or smaoking anything. It is amazing to see how a bad relationship can drag your butt down in the pitts and how long it takes to dig out. I feel like the old me again. Watch out world. lol


You sound great! This might be the most upbeat I've heard you sound in
10 years or so! I am really happy for you. You deserve good stuff in
your life. It is hard to believe that your baby is now 17. Wow.

As to the weed, I've forgotten what picture I sent. I have a file of
photos of plants that I want to ID. Perhaps I should put them on the
blog and tell everyone take a gander at them.

Hi Bev,
I'm still in Bloomsburg, PA. I work for PPL (a power company) now and
recently bid into a position that pays me over double what I was making in
my old position. And I love it. I'm still on my little half-acre with my
youngest son (17). I'm doing very well. I'm still catching up on some
debt left over from when I was unemployed with four kids, but now that will
be taken care of in short work and I can put money aside for a home with
much more land. I haven't given up my desires of homesteading just because
the last ass-hole I was married to stole the downpayment for my last farm. I
have a nice little garden out back with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, snow
peas, zucchini, green beans and beets along with my rambling herb/flower
beds but I still have to board my horse :-(. It looks like the real estate
marked rattled just in time for me. I believe we are going to see another
big drop in real estate prices from the next wave of foreclosures in the
next year or so. This area has a nice four season climate, good soil and
lots of nice rural land. I'm a happy camper.

I still haven't figured out what that weed was that you sent me a picture
for ID. Did you ever find out what it was?

Wendy

We have used rubber sidewalls from tires for hinges. Good to see you
Wen. What is going on in your life? Are you still in PA?-can't
remember where...

I noticed the flip-flop hinges. I use the bags from coffee "bricks" for
hinges. Just fold them into strips and nail into place. They are strong
and last a long time outdoors..

Very cool website! I particularly liked the Toyota Cowrolla!--Sage

I would say this is a good way to waste an afternoon or a weekend, but
it is not a waste of time. This is homesteading in it's purest form,
making do with what you have, innovation showing no bounds. I saw this
work ethic motto on one page:

"Never expect magic from no where"

http://www.afrigadget.com/

I was mesmerized by this site, alternating between extreme heartache
and
profound admiration.


Bev, wondering why no one posts to this list.
