[quote:darth:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzc1MzM3NjE4XzZGRTgzMDk1] [quote:Pooka:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzc1MzI4Mzc5XzJEN0Q1Qzg4] [quote:darth:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzc1MzE3MDEzXzg2NzdDNkNG] Very unfortunate development happening here. I purchased my farm for CASH planning to stay here until I am gone. But... A larger nearby city is going to annex our small town. They plan on turning the country road in front of my homestead into a 4 lane highway heading up into Houston. They will take out my garden and fruit trees in the front yard. We are going to MOVE before this happens. I am looking at acreage North of Houston in the piney woods or West into the farmland. Its not all bad. Wifey has only ONE condition: She wants to be able to shoot off fireworks! Her father, an entrepreneur in the Old Country, owned a fire works factory. First, will use Texas Vets Land Loan to buy property. Then, will put in a large barn and a Tornado Magnet (mobile home). Then, when my old farm is sold to become a new housing development, I will build Wifey a wonderful new home. I am just glad this happened while I am still in my 70s and can work hard outdoors on the new farm. BTW, I have planted Moringa trees which do OK here. Wifey says the leaves are very healthy to eat. I asked her how she knew. She said, "Mi Abuelo ate Moringa every day". I asked, "Well, was he healthy?" She replied, "He was 109 years old and got drunk and fell off his horse. That's what killed him". So, I gotta eat Moringa leaves every day. [/quote] Darth, I am unable to speak, nearly, at the very thought of this. Every one of us could put ourselves into your position and understand the feelings of encroachment, invasion, assault of our very life plans - while I am thankful you can see some good in it and move forward - I still see this as horrific abuse of a tax-paying, landowning citizen. How dare they? No grasp whatever of a person's life, age, plans, health, nothing at all. "We want - therefore we take" - Period! I'm so sorry, Darth. Ugliness entirely! Will they pay for what they are taking? Are you able to get such a loan at your age? Why can't we elders just be left the hell alone, or even assisted in some way - not harrassed, moved, all of it. As to the moringa leaves, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. Obviously, they will give you delusions of being a horse-back rider, which could come to a bad end. ROfl - are you shipping moringa leaves to all your friends here? [/quote] Pooka, thanks for the kind words. The motive involved is MONEY. The big developers to the South of us keep throwing up houses on every available piece of land. The people moving to the new houses need to get to jobs in Houston. They need the new 4 lane highway because the other routes are too crowded. The city that is annexing us wants more property TAX money. Therefore, they want residential property everywhere. I don't know how much they will pay to take out 1/2 acre of my front yard, but I will get an attorney to make sure we are fairly compensated if necessary. As for a loan at my age, it will be temporary. When I sell my place to the developers, I will get enough to pay off the new place. As for morninga, no, not selling or shipping them. However, I am eating them. Ref the horse, my daughter has a good one, but I don't ride him. At my age, I don't want to break anything. [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
