I quit Facist Book several months ago. I cleared my cache/cookies once to just clean up things. FB wouldn’t allow me back on or even reset my password. They wanted my passport or marriage license or drivers license yada friggin yada. A damn list of about 10 things. It was a way to get more info. Maybe the reason for the ‘grilling’ was I always stated my mind. Course the important stuff went into the ‘comments’ as the algorithm didn’t monitor the comment section – just your main post. I tested it several times and the main ‘post’ got fact checked or shadow banned. If I said the same thing in a comment, it never got flagged. VPN’s are the same. If you don’t want your neighbor to know that it’s you stealing their tomatoes, get you a private network. If they want to surveil you, they will. Period!! Why anyone would carry their phone mystifies me. If Brother Bubba broke his finger while picking his nose, in the morning, we’d hear about it at dinner or supper. The world didn’t end in those few hours. Better quit. 🙂

Awesome! Was going to nap but now I’m hungry!

I usually lose my notebook. I took off down the road the other day planning on really getting things done. Forgot the pickup! Had to walk back and get it! 🙂

Same here. I pulled out of ‘casino world’ 20 years ago. I’ve learned to put a 5 gal bucket at the end of each row I’m weeding in the garden. (It helps me get up when I finish!) Bending over or ‘down on the knees’ just don’t work so I lay down and inch worm along as I weed. If a nap attacks me – who cares. I just continue weeding when I awake. Stashing cash or metals? Some say you can’t eat metal. I can’t afford it. With the BRICS nations starting to deal in their own currencies, it’s only a matter of time when the dollar is no longer the world reserve currency. Then your cash is no good. (Devalued) What I like is to convert your cash, or at least some of it into inventory. Things you need to survive. The idea behind Bitcorn is interesting but only works if there is guaranteed electricity. Woodstove, tools, bulk food, etc. We lost our water pump this summer. We are very rural. I have a Berkey sitting above a 35 gal water tank. We were fine. It took 4 days to find the right pump without re-wiring the whole system for a different pump. I have a 325 gallon water tote also but didn’t need it. People say to turn off your main breaker to the house over the weekend. That’s the best education you’ll get as to where your weaknesses are. Carry a note pad. 🙂

I’ve basically quit overhead sprinkling or furrow irrigation. (Weed seeds!) I only use soaker hoses now. Over time they slow down in capacity. An old timer here said, because of our hard water, that the inside gets coated with minerals. He said to coil them up in a dog wading pool with vinegar and water. You can buy those cheap pumps that go on a drill. Circulate some of the water thru them and let them soak. There are so many tricks these old timers knew or figured out.

You too!
