My deepest motives for leaving though have really been spiritual and not political. When I stand before my Creator, I want to be counted with the sheep and not a goats: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35-40)
Best to all - kmich
Godspeed, kmich.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.

That's all part of the plan. Emma's job is to delay intruders via either eating treats, licking them affectionately, playing tug, looking cute, or discussing liberal politics until the German Shepard can get there. She is the equivalent of a Columbia or Harvard PhD in all these arenas. Probably should coach her on AGW soon....noddy wrote:the guard looks great but suspiciously weak willed against bribery in brisket form.Simple Minded wrote:The Eastern border of SimpleMindedStan:
The German Shepard is old and slow, but he has the biting ability, and the impermeability to mental input of Zack or HP.
He's just like both of them when it comes to promoting one's group identity and tribal superiority.
No need to re-invent the wheel in these matters. Stick with what works! In SimpleMndedStan, we not only celebrate diversity, we utilize it!

Guys,
We have to rely on our hamster for home security.
I have a hangover today after good wine and a little whiskey last night. I now know for sure that I can't tell the difference between Bulleit Rye and Bulleit bourbon, tasted side by side. I can tell the difference between JD and everything else though.

gerbils have a reputation for vicious hospitalizations, perhaps hamsters could be likewise valiant defenders.

Folks,
Our daughter and her eco-warrior family are living in the woods. They have just finished building a compost toilet in a nice shed with steps leading up to it. I suggested they call it 'Trump Tower' and the suggestion has been accepted with much mirth!

How freaking Yupie do you have to be to have a "composting toilet?" Newsflash Alex, your daughter and her family are redneck right wingers!Nonc Hilaire wrote:I suggest Santiago de Compostella.manolo wrote:Folks,

Per the artsie-fartsie post, redneck hipsters don't even recognize their own group identity.
You need to wait until one of them is inside and then tip that thing over!
Calling an outhouse a composting toilet don't make nobody enlightened!

Your people insult my people by claiming an outhoose (Freudian typo, Canadian spelling) is a composting toilet. like you're better than us or something....
Kinda like us claiming that your white English queen is a transgendered black French king.....
Re: News from Forum Participants
my best mate spent top dollar on a composting toilet, solar, water tanks on his place but the local council decided it wanted to gentrify and started charging him for those services so it could then afford to provide them and handle more development.
the world is getting a bit full for that kind of living :/ good luck to her, if i could afford it i would be doing the same.

My daughter's place is very isolated, amazingly so in today's UK. Visiting her is reminiscent of the Beverly Hillbillies, but no oil. What they do have is an endless supply of wood (lumber) which needs chopping and stacking for seasoned logs. Just now the logs are rotting under a dense cover of forest.
The composting toilet was expensive (£1500) and has all the proper science with an underground soakaway etc. I just think it will be freeeeezing when its freezing.
What's nice is when we are walking on the hills we can look back and spot her place by the smoke from her stove. On a still day it just rises straight in the cold air above the trees.

Re: News from Forum Participants
nice. best of luck to her.
my mate thought he was miles from nowhere, 400km from the city but then the place got trendy for tree changer retirees.

That composting toilet should come with a methane heater.
She would either be warm in winter or the first Briton on the moon. Win-win.

Guys,
News from the ranch.
We have nowhere to deposit the baby. Every place is dangerous, especially the storm drains.
I'm trying to convince our daughter that she needs some kind of baby cage outdoors with good fencing and astroturf. Maybe in sight of the kitchen window?
This is the total Grandpa worrying thing. The babs burned herself on the log stove last week and daughter said "She has to learn". Fair doos.

Re: News from Forum Participants
Folks,
Update:
I've decided to call it the 'settlement'. We don't have any steers and its not really a farm, just some extensive woodland. We have a cabin that can be moved on the back of a truck and the composting toilette.
Anyway, we also now have a landline phone and essential services, but not on the mains. Some problems are the baby wandering into open storm drains and me almost being poisoned by unpasteurised milk. Otherwise all is good.
The settlement is on the moors, which means colder and mistier than down at sea level, most of the time. But clear nights give us a fantastic starry sky, free from urban lighting. Our daughter wants an astronomical telescope, which is my department.
No home made moonshine as yet but Amazon have provided the product within 24 hours of ordering, delivered by a very efficient Polish driver.

Re: News from Forum Participants
Folks,
Update:
Three things. First - alcohol. We have apples, lots and lots of apples. So, we need a cider press and some suitable containers for fermenting. Should have a good stew within weeks. The locals tell me that the addition of gin to cider makes for a good drink, something akin to the addition of spirit to wine in the making of port.
Second - the trees. We started the settlement in autumn and so we have not been there in full leaf (almost all our woodland is deciduous). We just don't know what the effect will be. Our clearing is small and surrounded by woods on all sides. We may lose light.
Third - the baby. She is getting active and moves fast. The woods are dangerous in many ways. We have made an outside enclosure for her to wander about in, but it does feel a bit constricting. Have to think about that. There are deep gulleys near to the cabin, so it is a worry.
