A rabbit enters the garden to feed.
He eats the growth he did not plant.
He takes what he can.
When confronted, he does not fight.
He freezes. Or he runs.

Passive aggression. Projection. Shame.
They nip...
From looks of it you had more than just a cup of coffee to respond to a page worth of threads :gig I can barely keep up with one or two threads.
High of mid 40's today "allegedly" as was supposed to hit 39°F yesterday, it only made 29°F. Snowing right now and winds are picking up. Picked up...
Yeah I could have fixed the issue, but when you fly off the handle on me not just this time, but multiple times, yeah I’m going to tell you to F off. Cause this is me.
Same here, wore hand me down clothes with clothes we pulled from dumpster diving that didn't fit and had buck teeth. Never allowed to attend any after school programs and held a job since I was 10. There is layers upon layers of hardening in me to get through.
If I just stayed home and went to work everyday punching a clock like the good citizen, then yes I wouldn't have many problems. Now having to go out and interact with the neighborhood that composes of people who couldn't afford where they lived at, well as the saying goes, cheap land/cheap...
Finally posted that recent house I built on my business FB page and just like clockwork as I expected it and was reluctant to post it cause of it, it happened. Negative review on my page and nasty comments were left, and when that wasn't enough they started to post to local community page around...

Might be colder than one is use to there, but it will more of uncomfortable than dangerous, limited...
Different sorts of beans, rice, potatoes, flour to make gravy or the sorts, egg noodles, yeast, and a ton of seasonings. Grab some cast iron and a whole cow to stick in the freezer, hell grab a rifle and go shoot some animals then your once a month trip to grocery store can be every few months...
Have a "good" neighbor on the next road over that lives in NY, he only comes out 4 times a year a most. He actually made a flight out here yesterday just to experience this weather. While he is gone I babysit his house amongst other places I have keys to. I can actually drive around out here...
It's funny to read the local FB groups out here on when they ask if anyone else loses power or who has power on already. I like to reply back; I still got lights on, oh that's right I'm on solar, I never lost power :gig
Going on 7 years living off grid, started off with two 6V batteries and a...
