    building a healthy meal plan

    I enjoy my salads and the salad dressings I make to go on them. I've long used sprouts in them and other food items. My sprouting jars are simple. Basic canning jars (pints or quarts) and the "rings". Find a used "lid" to use as a template, an ink marker and a pair of scissors. Next you...

    Latin American sightings

    Kinda like our Medicines here in the States hmmmm Ruff Too bad these small trucks can't get an Agricultural exemption to be employed for "Farm Use". I'm sure a lot of Farmers would benefit by having some light fuel efficient utility trucks in their operations.

    Latin American sightings

    Looks it was some kind of food truck. Above the right side front door is: Ordene, Pague, Recoja .... Order, Pay, Pick-up. On the right rear you see a window and a fold down table. Not sure what the gap at the rear bumper area is about. The right front fixture that looks like a mirror is...

    Cheap weekend homestead outside BIG 500K population city?

    Would it necessarily have to be 500K ? Could it be smaller ? I would imagine a city with population of 500K would have quite a few people wanting a week end retreat outside the city. It may take a longer commute to find cheap land or lease land around the big city and as Bullfrog...

    The REAL Reason No One Wants To Work Anymore

    ^^^ Camper It is up to the individual as to whether he or she wants to scam or offer a service that is ethical (which could include any of trades) One fellow who contacted my Church was from Atlanta, GA and a talented woodworker and painter. He did a restore of the Chancel woodwork and...

    Mexican car insurance

    That's 110,376 peso's. But for 3 days 54 dollars are a bargain. And if one was buying for a whole year, the scale would likely adjust lower.

    Mexican car insurance

    As I remember, it had to be purchased before you crossed the boarder into Mexico. There was a place on the edge where a hole punch indicated the date entering thru the date you intended to leave. The holes were odd shapes and our only had the date for that day. We were day trippers. I...
