Thanks! This is all gold. The up side to the financial crisis is that we all are going to either go back to basics or learn how to. My kids need to!
The young of today, are going to have a rough time of it.
They will need to learn to do without and how to survive on the barest of supplies.
I have about given up on mine, they think that I am old fashioned and not keeping up to date.
The latest electronics, simply bore me and I hate TV.
LOL, but I do love my computer and bread making machine.
One of the few good things that I saw come out of the hippie era, is their efforts to learn the old ways of doing things, I have learned many things from them over the years.
It is a shame that they got bored and joined the mainstream, as they were doing a good job of bringing back the old ways of doing things.
I may still have the plans for making a spinning wheel, from the wheel of a bicycle, I wanted one, to use outdoors, under my big tree..
I love my traditional spinning wheel, but still think the hippy wheel would have been fun.
I lived through the big depression, on a sharecroppers farm in Texas, so have not always had running water, electric and indoor plumbing.
