Hi... I'm finally strolling back here

was the grass greener on the other side? or no?

What's next, the return of Idol Harobed?

Never. It's the greenest here.

If it expects or demands worship, it is not divine!!

Eat, I'm happy to see you back on here and Mrs. CourtDude and I welcome your informative threads with hint of worry as I am a worrier as well. After your recent warning of the skyrocketing food prices my wife and are allocating about $2.5K USD of our tax refund for canned / dried / long storing foods for purchase this month.

We're getting the CourtDude Estate as ready for self-sufficiency as possible.

Getting your non perishable food lined up right now is a smart smart thing.
I myself might pick up some more coffee, rice, sugar, etc now before the prices skyrocket later this year.

Here have a hanky so you can wipe the shit off of your nose...

And I stayed there for a week.. .

Dont forget the spam!!!!!

I notice there was (still is?) a fake EAT at the other place.

Nice to have you back Eat

we expect an essay on your adventures by monday or its detention every night after school for a week.

Sin goods are good to have for barter.
Don't forget the smokes, alcohol and candy!

ahem, your style might be too easy to impersonate

Candy, yes. Alcohol, no. Don't want the kind of crowd that needs alcohol.

shame.

I'm shameful. I really am.

Me either...but there are people out there that would trade necessities for that sort of thing....habits are a b-witch.

Yayyyyyyyyy !!!! A day without EAT, is like a day without coffee. Wooo, Hoooo

No you're just a two faced wanker.

^^^This^^^ We won't have alcohol for trade, I agree on a potential bad crowd being attracted, but we will have ciggarrettes and salt. I have had a neighbor walk to my home in a rain storm because she 'needed' a ciggarrette and couldn't get to the store. She would be a great candidate for trading a cut of venison or string of fish for a pack of ciggarrettes later when TSHTF. Fair for both of us.

Edit for fat-fingerness

You must be a newbie. Run along and go play with the others. To know EAT, is to love EAT. He's pretty much the GLP mascot, in case you cant tell, dude.

Salt and Sugar!!!!
I would say that SUGAR will be worth it's weight in gold. You can do so much with sugar... including making your own alcohol. So, in a sense... sugar is alcohol.

You can preserve meat with salt though...fruit has natural sugar for making wine...

Later this year? She just went shopping last night and came home with four bags for a total of $398 USD--an almost identical shopping trip five years ago would have cost us under $75 USD. As govt. employees we have not had a merrit or cost of living raise in over five years, I know many people have not, my point is 0% increase in income yet a 530% increase in food costs. This is hitting us hard and we make decent money, I can't imagine a family making $50K or less being able to keep a home and continue to purchase their food this coming year.

When the GOM gusher was still in the news forefront I convinced my neighbor to turn a combined area covering one third of each of our yards into a common garden for us and we did well with tommattos and cucumbers. We have converted the flower beds around my home and the decorative gardens surrounding the pool into gardens for beans, peppers and onions which produced last summer but not nearly as well as previous years. The pool deck area is elevated about three feet above terrain as I essentially live in a swamp and next month we are having it expanded back into the woods and all brought to level to give us close to an additional 80 X 60 feet of garden space under partial shade.

And everyone, Mrs. CourtDude and I are becoming self sufficient because of the knowledge we have gained here at GLP. Someday I truly believe I will be able to look back and say our lives were saved by what we learned on here.
