And one more thing this morning,
Please don’t take this the wrong way, as I know you have put tons of effort into the threads.

You should have a recipe thread and there should be a survival thread.

Recipes should go on the survival thread only if it is a recipe for stir fried termites or something.

I just think survival technology goes far beyond recipes, and that if we were in a true survival mode, many of the items in standard recipes would not be available.

(btw, my plantains are starting very vigorous in my seed trays. Well, not seed trays, empty single serve yogurt containers)

A subject that I am not qualified to discuss.

My termites eat the house, not me eating termites.

It looks like in the hard times ahead, that recipes that are simple will be as important as can be.

Many of us will have to deal with make - do and get along living, before we mount up and move out.

Right now, my expenses are going higher by the day, almost a hundred dollars extra for the same medicine that I bought a month ago, this is about 3/5ths of my total income.

Where is the food going to come from, there are still utilities to pay and doctors visits.

Here prices are going crazy.

Yes there are Freepers, who would like a termite eating survival thread, why not take it on?

You can download the first survival thread (9000 posts) from the links at post 959 and 961, and once you have the two files, you can further separate the recipes into one file and the survival stuff into another file. I suppose I could have done that with them but never thought of it.

Have fun!

By the way did you know you can expand your display of FreeRepublic posts up to 250 per page? That way you can view a good hunk of these large threads at one time. It does take a bit longer to load the thread pages, though.
