Subject: [Homestead] Checking out

Well, my friends, it is time for me to simplify my life and leave the
homestead list for good. It is hard to believe now, considering the
normality of silence, but it used to be a lively place that I could
visit to find people who were willing to lay it all out there on any
subject. I credit this list for getting me interested in politics and
in homesteading issues like NAIS, permaculture, and alternative
energies. I've been on the list for the better part of 15 years, and in
that time, you all have molded into the person I am today. For the last
5 or more years, I've started probably more than a third of the
conversations on this list, for better or worse, in trying to keep the
spark alive and to continue my own learning and understanding. Now, I
am forced to look elsewhere for intellectual stimulation and debate on
issues. As an aside, I have to say that according to my own definition
of homesteading, I am no longer a homesteader, just a poor person with a
cabin in the boonies and a bunch of chickens. I don't belong here
anymore, and it seems hypocritical to call myself a homesteader and
organic gardener/rancher when I have to take engineered biologic drugs
to function.

Many of you are on Facebook, and I thoroughly enjoy following your life
journeys there. I hope that I might continue to be a part of your lives
there. If you aren't on Facebook, but you still want to keep in touch,
you can always email me directly (erthnsky AT gmail.com), but this is my
last post to Homestead.

Peace, out..

Bev

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit. It's like "Just Do It!"& "Go for It!")
