The pink is gone for this season!
(Besides, I did put a pink border around my avatar!

Thanks, justbugged for the info.

I would imagine they don't need much watering.

Well silly if the pink is gone then how can they be pink must just be green or brown!
I also noticed I messed up mine was NOT supposed to say "I am not secure enough to wear / drive PINK. It's a good color." it was suppoda say I AM secure enough.
And yes I did notice that you had a pink border.

Thanks to all who have shown support. After we have shown our friends that we care and we support them even if we don't know who they are..

Have you thought of propane? They have those heater shields that attach to a propane tank. Not sure what size you would need but I would think on low you could keep one end above freezing for more than a few nights. I know some 'green' growers are using wood but a really stoked stove made to last the night would keep it pretty warm.

I have people emailing me that they cant find me because I changed the avitar. I see you changed back with pink. Maybe I can figure out how to do that too.

Wow! That was quick! When you said there wasn't enough wood for someone to come from far away I thought you might just be being modest! They filled the back of your flatbed and there is still 12 chunks left! You were being modest! I'm so glad you got help. We wouldn't have been able to make it till the weekend.

ETA.. that chocolatey raspberry yumminess.. that's a good bottle to grab.. just sayin.

I was hoping you'd be jumping in the car with us! And yeah, I think a bottle of chocolate port might be in the bag to go to CGG's...

OK, sounds like I'm going to have to start cleaning my house! It's getting too cold to sit out on the tack room porch!

I took my son to see that when it played in town. We went home and ordered chicks, and found a place in town to buy our free-range eggs until our chicks were old enough to lay. Even orgnic, "free range" eggs from a mass producer are not raised in conditions that I would find humane.

I found a post on a different BYC thread about 6 mo ago. A woman somewhere in the midwest responded to an add for 1 year old organic free-range laying hens, $10 each. She was horrified by what she saw, a bare dirt "pasture" stuffed completely full of de-beaked birds with almost no room to move! As the egg carton stated, the birds were cage free (though free-range is debatable), and fed an organic diet. I'm sure that in such crowded conditions, a lot of what they must have been eating is chicken poo!

Truly free range (or at least spacious coop and run) is far more important to me than organic these days,

I hate the organic label, and it is a sin that organic farmers (and thereby organic consmers) have to pay a penalty tax for not adding chemicals to their fields, animals, etc while the big factory farms pumping all those chemicals on the land and poisoning everyone and everything are subsidised by our tax dollars. I do try and buy from people who grow their stuff naturally but don't pay that penalty tax.

Organic certification is a crock of poop and like you said isn't fair to the true organic farmers. They have taken the label organic from real organic farmers and now they can't use the word unless they are certified. The only reason it was created is the big corporations were trying to pass their stuff off as organic which it wasn't so it had to be regulated of course. And sadly, even with corporations being 'regulated' they have so much money they pay off the inspectors to pass them and most do not follow what is stated in the regulations. Most still mono crop. That is not an organic practice. They do not grow cover crops because that would mean land would be out of production. The list goes on and on. The only way you will get truly organic is if you buy from a local organic farmer who practices the real organic methods. Most are not certified because it's cost prohibitive and they want nothing to do with the government bureaucracy but they also have the trust of their local community and their farms are open for all to come take a look. Support your local farmer!

Oh, poop upon you man! We do have a couple but they haven't been used in years. I don't know if they are still functional. I do however have a very large one that will heat an entire 30x96 greenhouse. We can hook it up to our propane tank for the house and blast everyone off the porch! Do you think they sell 100' propane 'cords'?
