Inflation

Be cautious when putting money abroad. Be sure and follow US Treasury guidelines. Always transfer less than the amount that requires reporting. Be careful where you transfer money to.

The IRS now requires you to reveal any foreign bank accounts.

Follow the law carefully; people like us do not do well in prison.

That's true. The only people that get around the limits are the people with the really good lawyers.

So Rufus, what is happening today that is special? I know we have the little hostage situation coming up about raising the debt ceiling. They'll threaten not raising it unless we cut all the programs they don't like and drop taxes for the almighty. Is something out of all the usual BS going on?

I'm with you on this thread though. It's about inflation. Inflation is a direct result of government policies or lack of. So yeah it is based on that nasty P word.

Since Mahonri posted, I started wondering if anyone has been mugged for their dental work. Has anyone read about that?

I'm glad there are people in the world who think like I do... you talk about storing food here and people think your a nut job

You can head over to the BYC sister site www.sufficientself.com. We talk about food storage on a regular basis. Nobody thinks you are nuts. Maybe because we are all nuts...not sure

As for seeds, I buy mine at www.rareseeds.com.​

haha silver was up at 49 now it's gone down to 46.

There's a good chance it'll be back at 48 or so when I'm at the silver buyer's today.

If we have to conserve seeds some of those seeds would not germinate, because they are hybrids and you could not grow hybrids very well or they would not germinate at all.

I think it is better to stick with old time seeds that stood the test of time!

That is why I buy stuff at Baker Creek. They only stock heirlooms. I am on 2nd and 3rd generation of some of the seeds.

I am currently waiting on a large order of non hybrid seeds. Hopefully things won't be too rough for us with those, the chickens, and the food stores.

We got most of our seeds from their catalog.

DW bought enough seeds to last 10 years or so. We froze most of them.

I placed another seed order last night from Baker Creek.

It seems that the original place where I ordered a large quantity of seeds has issues with quality and speed of shipping.

DK, I have my own little seed vault in the big freezer too.
