It passed….

Totally sucks.    And if you are the Senator from Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska and the other “Cow” states and you voted for the Food Safety and Modernization Act – may your term be short lived.   I hope the buyoff from Agra-business was worth it…. There is a place in hell for...

FOOD SAFETY….

FOOD SAFETY….
Food Safety Bill is coming up for a vote today and it is anything but a safe food system.    I have previously posted that if there is a problem with food, it comes from HUGE agri-business and not from small farms – but its the small farms that will be crushed with this bill.    There is...

Lets just say I am glad the kids couldnt hear me….

Lets just say I am glad the kids couldnt hear me….
Very little has caught me off guard since moving to the Country… R.U.R.A.L. is where we live now. We see snakes, scorpions, bugs (weird ones that are either HUGE or just weird like they were at Chernobyl), coyotes, coons, mice… everything…. But when this thing popped up on the deck...

Wishing I was Sally Hemmings….

Seriously – if I could be anyone, I would be Sally Hemmings cause she cooked for a living and her man was Thomas Jefferson… I love him – I. REALLY. LOVE. HIM. This quote hit me in the face the other day: “If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines...

How do you let your light shine?

Seriously – Ice is here….and therefore, electricity is on the mind. More accurately, lack of electricity is on the mind. What is your plan for light? (I know – there are some things that might come before light in regards to a power outage – heat, food, etc. but right now...

Ice and Snow….Snow and Ice….

Here it comes again. Unlike Christmas, 2009, this stuff will have ice with it – and wind (lets not forget the wind – its always windy here). When you get to around 1/2″ of ice and wind, power lines start coming down. When power lines come down, they go back up in a very precise...

Chili’s is my fave….

I love me some Thin Mints. I love me some Southwestern Egg rolls from Chilis. My husband loves him some Buffalo Wings. I have no intention sitting around a table and reminiscing about what we would eat if things went back to normal. Like that scene in Jericho – Dad wants a big steak…. There...

Sniped and expanded….

I sniped this link off of Survival Blog - 2010 Food Crisis I find it very interesting as I am living in an Ag state and shortly intend to become “Ag” myself (Ag = agriculture). The author is accurate in regards to the damage done to those that grow our food this past year. Its not just our...

Get yourself a binder, paper and a pen…GO….

Before you ever buy your first bag of rice or your first bag of beans, you need to decide what you are preparing for… And you may have more than one reason. Personally, I am preparing for Zombies. Not really – I stole that answer from TOR…. Its one of the best answers I have...

GE and IBM….

Do you listen to the radio? Do you watch any TV at all? Both of these companies have been running commercials touting how wonderful they are – how their new products/inventions will save the world and your pocket book….but at what cost? They are touting medical advances as well as all...
