They're so many people in our country who rely on it daily. God forbid the SHTF, they wouldn't survive. It's also become a disposable society. Prime example instead of having a good vacuum which should last for years. Manufacturers are making cheesy vacuums in hopes the customer will end up buying a new one to replace the broken one. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Homemade stuff just tickles me to death. Since I've learned how to crochet, I enjoy making my own dish cloths. I used to go into the big city and go to the farmers market at the university to get my dish cloths (they were homemade as well but not by me). Now I just make my own (including afghans, and scarfs). Learn to make socks will be a project of the future.

Because the pace of society is so fast today that no one has the luxury of a more leisurely approach to meeting our own life needs (like cooking and sewing and etc etc). No, all our time and energy go into meeting super-high productivity expectations at work.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-86676647946932741372016-04-14T15:35:56.559-04:002016-04-14T15:35:56.559-04:00Another fine post!

Good for you.<br /><br />And did you see Amazon has a button that they will sell you for $5---you push it if you run out of something and they ship it to you.<br />Um---that's about as bad as it gets........isn't it?

People need to slow down and start learning to take care of themselves. Depending on other people and the government to supply their needs seems to have become a full time job for a lot of people. In my opinion, too much technology too. We don't even have verbal conversations with people anymore. and my sister who has school age children says they don't teach cursive writing!! And they go to private school. On another note, its nice to see you name your beasties. I do too. I have 4 chickens. The names are Winkin', Blinkin', Nod and Nessa Rose...and they all live up to their names :-)Theresa Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226952474166295533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-22989155007214075072016-04-14T11:10:11.392-04:002016-04-14T11:10:11.392-04:00Mama Pea - Pain in the A**.

Honestly - I just put one muck boot in front of the other and move forward. If I DID think about it, there would be wine for breakfast every morning. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-52892656815792299802016-04-14T11:08:46.198-04:002016-04-14T11:08:46.198-04:00Fiona - Exactly!

I started out feeding the two barn cats (one disappeared, unfortunately) and am now feeding a neighbor's cat - they apparently don't feel the need to provide food for the poor, skinny thing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-80064947618169294932016-04-14T11:02:09.192-04:002016-04-14T11:02:09.192-04:00Love your ramblings.

Then I was taught by a father who fed his barn cats well so they had energy to hunt exceptionally well! He hated gopher poison and we used to spend hours shooting gophers so we didn't poison hawks or other birds of prey. As you would expect locals thought he was a bit weird!
