Doesn't that image belong on the Rothko thread anyway?

I have to wash my car. And my hair.

They pay no income taxes, check.

The gov’t of North Korea assures its citizens that eating just one meal a day makes them stronger.

Nimrods drive cars with bumperstickers reading, “live simply so others may simply live”.

“Buy in bulk from a local health food store, or place bulk orders directly with mail-order companies. If you can’t meet their minimum order size, go in on an order with another family, or organize a larger food buying club. “

Do you by chance know a good mail-order company that has good deals?

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard an anecdote from a family head (male or female) about one of them quitting a job, taking a lower-paying job, going stay-at-home, etc, and life gets so much better even though they are “poorer” by the numbers.

I find that effective parents/families make it work with love and teamwork, while losers whine about how they don’t have enough.

As a friend said, a good job you can go home from, a bad job follows you 24-7.

...and a money-heavy lifestyle can produce its own problems. (For one thing, having a high-paying job often requires a high-paying wardrobe, a showoff car and a bunch of other suck-up items like playing golf to fit in with the culture.)

Yes. I’ll post it later. They sell low-cost vitamins, etc. if that’s what you’re looking for. They are very competitive.

I get most of my vitamins from vitacost.com. I would be interested in a company that sells flour, etc.

You might check out ourhealthcoop.com.

You might try the forums here:

Mormons are supposed to keep a year’s supply of food in stock, so they would surely know where to buy in bulk.

That is pretty funny! Suddenly we might all turn into the smelly hippies we've been mocking all these years - except with better music and good literature.

I'm pretty sure conservatives have the strength of mind to learn to use a razor and a strap. A pair of scissors or a set of clippers is not that hard to come by either.

And no conservative I know LIKES tie-dyed.

Thank God.
