I would.

Except my nighttime pills AND nyquil kicked in about 30 min ago and I was stuck dealing with a situation when it happened.

Maybe tomorrow I'd draw.

I love this idea, though mine might be more of a collage

Maybe you could do one and it could be in raffle next time after we meditate over it to make it happen!

Ooooo, me, me!! I love reading out loud to folks, I just do. I do it with emphasis and emotion - as if reading a script for an audition. Can I be the official 'reader'? Please, please!!

Yes i like that name of our cult as long as there is someone to read the stories to us. I do not want to read. I enjoy closing my eyes and watching the movie. It's way more fun, theatrical and entertaining.

cinderella · 10-25-2011, 10:18 AM

HA HA HA!!! Good one, Gemme. This totally cracked me up!!! LOL

Upload your story time in the morning and those who are interested can download it and enjoy it on their own time while you enjoy your evening time.

JAGG · 10-27-2011, 08:01 AM

Awesome thread. Sounds like a great idea, I think I would want it more as a retirement village community. I think community Dinners would be awesome. I could contribute too. I can run a backhoe, or a grader, or a dozer and dumptruck and a semi. So I could help level the land to build on. I have never built a house but I have remodeled scores of houses, I am a member in good standing with Tulsa Home Remodelers Assoc. I can install anything on the inside. Drywall tile doors windows molding cabinets tubs toilets fixtures lights outlets .I can build a decorative fireplace any carpentery, counter tops etc texture spray . I never framed a house or bricked one or done much concrete work. But I have done everything else. Also I'm a small engine mech. So I can fix mowers weedeaters boats etc. And I'm an expert car detailer!
Can we have a golf course? And a heated saltwater pool ? And a nice gym? Some biking and running trails. Maybe a nice club house with a huge dance floor and lots of seating with a stocked bar. And a huge theather room for movies and to watch football together or MMA fights whatever. Would be great to have a Dr. And RN on staff. I'm sure I will think of more but that is good for now.

Apocalipstic · 10-27-2011, 08:03 AM

It would be so great to be able to have coffee right now with all my buddies!

Jagg, Princess Belle and I already volunteered to be part of the RN staff! I am sure we have more nurses on the planet...

PS: You have some awesome construction skills! Love those toolbelt butches!

Thank you Anya.

Arwen · 10-27-2011, 10:09 AM

I'd like a toolbelt butch OR femme at my place. I have an electrical issue.

When we all live on the land together, we have to remember to pay each other what we are worth in hugs and barter if nothing else. I say we do some internet marketing and run a Handyke service.

SoNotHer · 10-27-2011, 10:58 AM

Your resident permaculturalist is at your service.

I'll ensure -

the soil is happy

the plants are happy

the birds and the bees are happy

your bellies are happy (good, nutrient-dense food)

we're working with the natural ecoystem

we're "stacking functions" (as in combining greenhouses with chicken coops or using )

we're using resources on the land to build "Post Peak Oil," climate-change ready homes that require zero to minimal heating/cooling (think cordwood homes, adobes, straw bale)

we have rain catchment and filtering systems in place

we are producing our own honey, fruit, nuts and vegetables,

and finally, I'll help ensure it looks and feels like paradise. :-)

Very interesting thread.
I have domestic housewife skills....

I make and hand these tags.... specifically if I go to gay club's . I have some tiny bags of skittles I put with the tags

SleepyButch · 10-03-2012, 09:58 PM

Would you want to live on a BFP compound? Definitely

What skills can you contribute? Being an RN, I can offer my medical skills. I am also really good with animals.. I whisper to them daily, sometimes yell also.

Would you want to do community meals every night in the "Mess Hall"? This could definitely be an option. Maybe offer to go orders as well for those folks who just can't stay for dinner but need to eat.

Would people still need to pay something into the system like rent, even if it was only nominal? I think it would be a good idea to pay a nominal fee. Or services could be bartered or set like on a point system. You cook three times a week and you get free meals for the whole week... etc.

Do you think you'd get tired of living with family all year long? What family doesn't get tired of each other? If you have 400 acres available, set aside 100 acres or so in the back 40 for those who need seclusion. People could camp out there or we could build some cabins that come work by first come first serve type of deal.

What pro's and con's can you see to this idea? Pros would be we can be ourselves no matter what. We all have many skills, life experiences to offer. We could learn from each other.
Cons: You can wind up cutting yourself off from the rest of the world, but hey, sometimes that is not a bad thing. We could still come and go with a secret handshake or something.

What input do you have?

A creek or stream would be nice. Disagreements can happen when in close proximity. Have some type of system to handle such arguments if the two people can't handle them on their own... sort of like timing them out!

Let's speak it into the Universe!

Well I grew up on a farm so have some knowledge about that. Also have an electrical/hvac background. Have done plumbing work as well as some carpentry, laid ceramic tile , tile and laminate floors. Don't care for dry walling tears my sinuses up but can do it. Have a Class A CDL so we could have our own truck for the community to haul and sell excess food.
Meals maybe on the weekends or special occassions. .Would rather buy the land so I owned it.Have my own place to get away. Could charge a fee like a gated community to pay for security.

Rockinonahigh · 10-03-2012, 10:14 PM

Not long ago I was surfing the web for places in general for sale,I found a 17 acer castle on the arkansaw river,its an island into it self.I thought,yeah..we could do that.Its only about $17 million bucks and some lose change.
