I think you are being a little sensitive. The YOU I used was meant as Everyone, not just you personally. You, meaning you personally, have not been on the board long enough to know the personalities of each of us. We are all nice people. I've met me and I know I am nice. Actually, I had mentioned something about comfrey being demoted about a week before you brought this up. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/717207/washingtonians-come-together-washington-peeps/17470#post_10866596
I mean no negative toward you in any way. Have a good time and lighten up. No one is picking on you. You seem to have a good grasp on Living Free Off The Wild. Here is to Euell Gibbons, my first guru of eating wild.
Funny story. Back in the early 70's when people where escaping to live in more simple times this little hippy girl, meaning me and my hubby, considered living in a Tee-pee in the woods. Eating off the wild. Shooting game with a muzzle loader. We ran around with a friend who was part of the Mountain Man society. Although today my microwave is my best friend and I don't want to kill anything anymore I still feel those roots. Anyone into Mushroom picking?
I guess quoting someone and then using "you" does not make it personal but that was how I read it. Thank you for the clarification.
I used to raise everything I ate or forage for edible weeds but now that I know I can pass that test I take shortcuts, LOL. I used to enjoy milking goats and making my own butter but now I just buy it in bulk at Costco. I live in town now so there is only so much space in my backyard for food production. I have never been willing to trust myself when it comes to picking mushrooms. I picked up a book on it at a secondhand store once but ended up selling the book on Amazon.
