So, what are your plans for the coming debacle?
Vanity | January 18, 2009 | WCF

Posted on 01/18/2009 7:25:44 PM PST by WorkingClassFilth

This thread (if it survives the moderators) is meant to be an end of the Republic commemorative. Bracketed by end of the Julian calendar and the Chinese New year, I thought a repository of comments marking the rise of a new leftist messiah to be sardonic and fitting.

Before any FReepers hit the ABUSE button, please look around youself . . . with kooky vanities about just-the-right-puppy-breeds and the non-stop religious scripts and debates abounding on NEWS/ACTIVISM, I thought a simple question about what conservatives were personally considering doing during the promise of a new age of fascism might be worthwhile.
So, given that we're all of a conservative mindset and that (as adults) we all recognize what the next four years (or decade and beyond) might herald, I ask: What are your plans? Where do you plan to go and what do you plan to do in years of the coming darkness?

I want a greenhouse so very badly! Alas, we probably won’t get one done this yearP> You and I are in the same boat.

Although we could still easily pull together a small cold frame.

I probably could a well, but I'm not going to go to the bother. Hubby has been doing the renovations on our Pastor's house and the next big project is replacing the windows. The replacement windows have already been delivered and we get to keep the ones he removes. He's going to build my "greenhouse" out of them.

Found out I can grow hot peppers like nobody’s business! LOL

I was always able to do that, until last year :( I plan on winning the garden battle this year.

Sounds like you all are talking about Oregon County. An area called The Irish Wilderness is pretty remote. We live in Howell County which is also beautiful but a little more traveled. We get alot of retirees from the west coast and they love it, and often their children relocate here.

Just a note if you decide to go there. They are closed on Saturdays but open Sundays.
The festival weekend is quite interesting. Lots of laid back people selling books, plants, herbs and various other items like honey and jams, jellys. And more seed than you can imagine.

The biggest change that I see for our family is that it makes it far more likely we will be doing homeschooling. Our twins are not quite two yet, but I am looking ahead, and I will not have that cant dinned into their ears for 12 years. Their middle names are those of two of our greatest patriots (Washington and Franklin) and I will do my best to teach them the true history of this country, and to love freedom and truth.

As for Tuesday morning, my boys and I will not be glued to the TV. We’ll be going to a playdate instead — far more useful and inspiring. So there! ;)

Actually, I think housemate Joya has tabs on the gardening list . . . which, IIRC, has moved to yahoo because of some silliness with a mod or something or other.

I mostly just do tomatoes. Passive raised bed greenhouse affair has kept them going but too hot in the day to pollinate and too cold at night to set fruit! LOL. Can give you the design of that sometime if you’re interested.

Heading to bed shortly.

I’m pretty sure you’re on it, but I added you anyway, just in case!!!!! I had a pretty heavy duty crash right around Christmas, so at this point I’m not taking any chances :)

LOL, you’re a kindred spirit! I saw a plan somewhere for using old storm windows (and doors!) and showed it to hubby. He is actually getting kinda excited about the idea. Especially since he’s been eating fresh-as-sunshine-tasting tomatoes and green beans this winter. Not to mention those heavenly peaches I canned. $20 for a half bushel at the Mennonite markets. I canned a whole bushel one week. That weekend I went to the farmers market (for ritzy and artsy liberal type folk) and they wanted $8 for a tiny little basket of much inferior peaches. harrumph. Mine were already lined up waiting their transformation into yummilicious deserts this winter.

Check out Duduman’s dreams and visions vis a vis the Chinese . . .

http://www.mikeboldea.blogspot.com/

Search for it on his website.

Middle of the country is supposedly slated to be a back and forth battled no-man’s land for an extended time, IIRC.

Isn’t the Irish Wilderness located in Reynolds County? Same general area though.

Thanks for the heads on Saturday being closed. Have you been to the Wilder home and museum? I have heard it is fairly expensive but I sure would like to take a tour of it if and when I go down?

No, but my Mom was born and raised in Reynolds County and it is just about as remote as Oregon or Shannon Counties. My husband’s family all live in Alton, Mo which is Oregon County seat. You would love the Eleven Point River that runs through the Irish Wilderness. There are wild horses in that area.

I want that book!!!!!!!!

For Christmas my daughter gave me a 1973 edition of Southern Living’s Entertaining cookbook. It was 50cents in the Hospice Thrift store! I’m teaching her early!!! LOL! She also found a wonderful cutting board as well.

God bless her, at 10 she’s as tighr with a buck as her mom!

I have a sis in law who lives near Doniphan. I love the areas, esp around the current river.

"lol You know Mtn. Grove?"

Let's put it this way. I've been known by quite a few in and around Mtn. Grove, in the Early Modern sense. ;-)
