    Dog or no dog?

    Another thing to consider is the breed's basic temperament. I have Pomeranians because I love their sense of humor--always joking, looking for a laugh. Almost always friendly to strangers, unless the strangers should not be trusted anyway. In turn, I put up with a lot of unnecessary barking...

    Dog or no dog?

    For me, the dog food has become pricey, but the VET bills! Holy cow! Last year their medical costs exceeded mine.

    Selling an RV; a "heads-up" tale

    Hi C, This is a well-known scam among folks who use Craigslist regularly. CL warns its users not to do deals that way. Always do business with local people, always cash only. Unless you are bartering, of course, but that is different subject.

    No more fuel?

    <giggle>. Yes, the government folks are usually the least helpful when the chips are down. I think some of the "refugees" might have bicycles. But after the major earthquakes, we found most people to be more helpful to each other than they would have been under normal circumstances. If you watch...

    Reporting My 2nd Review, Living on BLM Land on My New Camper/Truck

    Hi Soul Raven, I used to have a dog named Zeke. Anyway, once you get to a place where you can get internet, you might find a couple of Youtube channels that are helpful. One is Patrick Teahan's channel, and the other is Anna Runkle's "The Crappy Childhood Fairy." Patrick Teahan has many useful...

    The guy that owns the shop where I take my car for maintenance and repairs has been trying to hire a mechanic for months. He is offering $100K annually and can't find anyone. I told him for that kind of money I might learn to be a mechanic myself. My plumber is doing way better than me. So is my...

    No more fuel?

    Um, I live in Portland and think it is highly unlikely that a tsunami will reach the Willamette Valley. The earthquake will do some damage, but the tsunami is largely a threat to those on the coast. I also lived through a major earthquake that shut the normal utilities down for several days. We...

    No more fuel?

    Also, it is good to get educated now about natural and locally available sources of food.

    We need community. We need to form communities BEFORE some catastrophic event.

    I wish these posts were dated, so it is hard to know how long ago you posted, but right now (August 2022), where I live, the average one-bedroom is $1700/month.

    There are likely quite a few women who did not work outside their homes because they were married. There was a whole generation of women who were told the ultimate life was being married to a successful man and taking care of his house and children for no actual financial compensation. If he...

    D'L if you seriously research what Roundup does to the body, you would eat organic. At least stuff that gets sprayed a lot: green leafies, anything growing above the ground, berries, etc. Put in your search term the word "scholarly," and you will get genuine research on it.

    He said he was ONCE trying to figure out how to support his wife and kids. I think that implies a past circumstance that is no longer the case.

    A safe in our Van

    You should have a trusted person who has a copy of your will. My accountant and sister each have one. That way if I became incapacitated and couldn't tell them where to find the original, if it burned with me in a fire, someone would have it.

    Buying and using land without attracting attention

    In the future, much agriculture will be done in underground chambers where the climate can be controlled and with a minimum of agricultural pests.

    Buying and using land without attracting attention

    No one said he didn't filter it. Just that he collects it.

    There is a correlation between the rise in dementia and the use of glycosophate (Round up) on food crops.

    It isn't the "germs" in the food that give you food poisoning. It is the toxins they produce, which cannot be destroyed by cooking.
