if that happens and I can still afford to feed my family i will buy you a very cheep lunch... provided any of us could afford a very cheep lunch!
I have chickens now... and another dozen in the incubator right now... just come over and we'll barbecue. I also have a garden... so I should have the sides covered as well.
I am thinking about planting a Camelia Seninsis plant (the plant where all tea comes from) and I already have Stevia growing (sweeter than sugar with no calories)...
So... just come on over and we will see if we can pull a meal together. You get to help pluck the chicken though.

My brother I envy you... as much as one can have godly (?) envy....
i would trade this city life in a heartbeat if i could... I grew up on a farm and we raised pretty much everything we ate until i was probably 13 or older, with the exception of things like spices and flour.
We raised sheep and pigs and chickens, traded seep for beef and raised all our veggies and canned everything.
I would go back to that in a heartbeat.

Yes sir... we are certainly blessed. Telecommuting opens doors not otherwise open in this day and age and, for that, I am unspeakably thankful.
We are simply loving our new place. We have about 3 acres (although 2 are still wooded right now). There is a peace in country living that simply cannot be duplicated.
We are still easing into the lifestyle. The only livestock we have right now are chickens but we hope to get some sheep Lots of hard work... but, somehow, it always seems to leave you feeling good at the end of the day.
I just finished my chicken pen... here are some pics. This is just where they sleep and lay eggs. I let them out in the mornings to free roam and they put themselves to bed each night and I shut the door for them.
Okay... sorry... I hijacked the thread....
We now return you to the thread already in progress.

You did a great job!!!!!
We used to have a chicken pen at a previous home. My husband had a rooster that we were afraid of. I told him the first time it even ran at one of our children, I would shoot it. He finally had to put it down for being so aggressive, which they usually are. I love yard eggs.
Although a message has been rolling through my mind for a few months now that revolves around this basic thought...
I think, more often than we realize, God's help comes in the form of the wisdom contained in His word rather than in miraculous rescue. He does do the miraculous but He also keeps us from the need of the miraculous of we will but heed His word in our everyday lives.
Walking His way is a way of peace. But too often we expect peace to be delivered to our location which is located a distance off of God's desired path.
there's a lot of godly living that this post challenges us/me to consider.
thanks for sharing the message here.

No unusual closings here....
I agree with the money wisdom given. Have a savings account. Live within your means. Don't buy it if you can't afford it. We don't need to have it all.
I understand that some families are struggling...but gas prices here are almost to $3 for the ethanol blend. As for groceries...buy the house brand; don't eat out; use coupons.
I have the means to live fancier than I do...but why?
I've always been cheap (lol) but I chuckle now when I see news articles and magazine advice columns teaching us how to live on a budget.
I'd say my "thriftiness" was genetic, but my dad was really bad with money.
As a child we hated to answer the phone for fear it was a bill collector.
