My husband pays top dollar for our health coverage. BUT, my son who is 14 , recently needed a couple of cavaties addressed and filled. the CO-PAY, was over 500$ for 3 small fillings. I know for us that was a shock considerning our insurance is suposed to cover 2 fillings PER year. and we had definatly been mis quoted by the dentists office, being told that our percent
Any way you slice it, poo is being slung into the proverbial fan. Terrorists are going to strike, after the next natural disaster but before the flu pandemic, and not before oil prices ratchet up another notch. Yet it seems most of the latchkey generation of entitlement, is living off both their credit cards and the belief that someone else will plan ahead.. for whate
YOUR home is being compiled onto a government tracking database.!

the USDA and "powers that be", including the following companies , (its long so I will attach it to the bottom of this message ) all stand to gain in one way or another by the new rules the USDA has decided to enact upon the US. Rules and regulations that are in violation of civil liberties. (but not to worry the USDA has seen the error of its own wording and

NOT a good idea, to mandate gps tracking on all livestock , and the usda wants also to open end the ideas of retinal scanning or dna typing . for BIG beef industry and specific electronics divisions. BOTH will get a hefty boost without small farms to keep them working a little bit harder. they claim the national tracking is to prevent disease outbreaks but the US has
This problem is one I have seen too. but as a private business person with a web site, I can sell my items for normal shipping fees if ppl just "shopped" on web pages some ... the more traffic to individual online "stores" perhaps e-bay could possibly feel the pinch ???? and have to be more, reasonable in it's fees? all I am saying is , shop other places perhaps than just e-bay . abcwoolcrafts.mralter.com/ Melissa

soon government wants to put tracking chips in my livestock . they want to track every move my horses and lambs make. they want me to pay for them to spy on me. They want to make my animals un-kosher thereby unavailable to some of my buyers. They want my kids to pay to show lambs at the State fair. NC is not on the ball at all about NAIS a soon to be mandatory progra
First , so you know where I get my information and credibility from, I am a handspinner, and raise sheep,.I Specificly raise sheep for high quality wool. MOST people who believe they are allergic to wool really are NOT. They are in fact allergic to weither the processing, the dye, the cleansing agents, or some other process that happens in large scale manufacturing. t
IMHO, more than most people are ready to make. the way the world, and in particular, how this country works, we are in for some seriously hard times. the gas prices affect everything and while in comparison to bottled water gas is cheap, it affects more things than bottled water does. soon we will see grocery prices edging upward, because they cost more to get to the
me I felt a little like I had been riding a thrill ride that came to an abrupt stop. the end left me with a feeling of dis belief... so much death, and without giving it all away, except for one little place???? and he he hubbie and I had to ask... so ... if our diseases etc are what killed em off... what was the point for decades of alien abductees, and cattle mutilations? didnt discover bacteria through all this ??? Im left thinking of a star Trek ep
Actually several of my comments were listing "worst case scenario" and when those reporters were forced to reveal thier sources, thats an ammendment breech, , also, prayer in school... hmm I live in the south where they ALREADY try to forcce my kids to pray , and we r NOT southern baptists and shouldnt be ostracized for it either, and , when right to determine what is best for a womans body is taken out of the hands of women, birth control will then be
3 kids, one actually old enough to need to write an essay about "liberty" and freedom... and another, who wont remember what those words really meant... kindof like when my Daughter had no Idea of who John Wayne was, and asked me If I was alive when the Titanic sank.. my toddler instead of asking about records... will ask about freedom of speech... before the draft, t
I agree with your surmize but, thought ... it was the fault of the "extreme RIGHT" .. not the left, you see, I consider myself a bit liberal, but in no way do I believe in the eminent domain horse@$$!@.. but I do believe in a seperation between church and state, and wait wait , wasnt the justice who was so up in arms against the eminent domain ruling one of those regularly "liberal" voters in the supreme court?"?? I could be wrong but always thought sh
What if ??? (and I am being non specific on party affiliation on purpose, ) Lets say a politician were to stand up and say, " Regardless of religion, race belief , MY job is to defend YOUR right to believe what you wish, support the God of your choice, pray how you want, Sing the songs you want, Watch the television you want, vote how you want and , if you have the
ok, married mom not heavily religious, thinks religion and politics need to be kept seperate, also think noone should be able to tell me when or how religious I need to be, I DO believe in teaching my kids to have good morals and be totally responsible for thier actions, as well as thier work load. I dont believe in laziness, and lies... I have friends of several diff
Lots to learn, farming on small scale, hard to save money this way too, but it is the main plan. it is like a contest for myself, with the electric bill as the final test. As I get better at cutting corners, I can see it there. and heck with gas prices going up the way they are, it cant hurt for me to engage in that kind of self contest. garden is in, veggies are plan
I raise them myself as a small farm hand spinner, this being my point, my bunnies are PETS all 19 of them.. I love the wool they provide and love to spin . so YES they are here and not raised en masse persay , I have a set number of bunnies I can afford to care for and feed and it costs alot more than GRASS ... I take very good care of my rabbits and my sheep, which I also use to spin from. Small farm flock owners cannot afford to mis treat or abuse or
American wool needs you. Acrylic yarns for all you crafters, are made from petroleum products. wools are not and there are some super soft fibers out there, and an underground movement of artists, creating unique works of art with all natural fibers . there are new fibers too , all natural newbies to add shine a silkieness, a softness, etc. and the standbys are easier
lol but here in my state, I started a "dicipline" that included running, and push ups, mountian climbers, flutter kicks etc.. and was recently told , that ANY punishment that might make a young teenage child SORE was cruel and innappropriate. so, when my 13 yo son wants to stand toe to toe with me, and I tell him to run 5 laps, to the barn and back ttling .10 of a mile, is innappropriate and abusive dicipline... it allowed him to blow off steam, me too
in addendum... mohair does not have to be harvested cruely, I own a few and would NEVER harm them because I WANT them to grow more hair/wool.. my sheep too, are sheared with VERY safe clipper blade4s, and NEVEr get cut up.. I want them tooto grow me more wool... it dosent make sence to be careless with clipping the wool... it opens the animal up to infection and fly strike... deadly both of them, as well as harmful to the fleece. I also raise Angora ra

everyone villifies and condemns Michael Schiavo , I applaud him !!! what does he REALLY have to gain by standing up to the militant right to life movement? he has moved on, he has a new family YET he did all in his power to keep his WORD... how come noone can see MAYBE, he DID deeply love his wife, mounned the loss of her a few years ago, but noone publicly was a
