This guy had some really good stories and ideas when he was trying to survive in Argentina, he has since moved to Ireland. http://www.ferfal.blogspot.com/ In your searches online stick to words like homesteaders and homesteading so you will avoid the nutjob sites.

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  This is a service to my fellow L-Dotters who avoid the late night shows. I was channel surfing, and set to go past the Leno show, when I stopped, stunned. The guest was Daniel Craig, and he was dressed neatly in a quietly tasteful suit, dress shirt and tie. Not only that he was well groomed; no disheveled hair, unkempt beard, foul mouth, liberal BS. He dressed as if was proud to be there, and every time Leno left an opening for a lewd remark, he politely demurred. Good grief, are there any more like him? I might start going to the movies again!!

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  The latest shooting atrocity has, as expected, brought out the anti gun zealots. But I wonder--- has anybody ever researched other possible causes? How many smoked weed? How many of these vicious young men were raised without religion or other ethical values? How many grew up on Ritalin or other mind altering drugs? How many spent their young lives in day care centers so mommy could be "fulfilled" ? How many had rooms filled with x boxes, violent computer games, churning through the garbage of Facebook, twitter,etc? Just wondering.

All of them are leading productive lives with jobs, wives and children, most attend church now that their 'rebellious years' are over. Being a stay at home Mom isn't always possible and has nothing to do with Mommy being fulfilled it's a matter of putting bread on the table. The real tragedy here is that the families can't turn on the television or pick up a newpaper in hopes of a little escape without seeing everyone and their dog discussing who was right and who was wrong or why this guy did what he did. It's time we started to pay some attention to how we treat these young men with mental issues of whatever sort. It's time we quit trying to live in some sort of Utopia about being nice to one another or offending someone. Pointing fingers at video games or movies is just as stupid as someone telling me my guns are running the streets when I'm not looking killing people willy-nilly. Having said my piece I'm letting it go so that I can go enjoy my grandbabies during the holidays and thank God that they are here so that I can do just that. We should all spend a little time in prayer asking for comfort from our Savior for the families. Mrs. Cow December 18 at 10:15 EST .   3 people like this.    Rake King  A big 10-4 to Mrs. Cow. She and I grew up in times when we made most of our toys, read real printed books and had juicy imagainations. Todays "Things" are instantly discarded after a few hours of use, as parents (who now seem to both be working ) try to please their children with "STUFF" and an organized daily routine. Not everyone, but too many for all of our good. We are branded as "old fashioned", out of date, and unable to set up a cell phone. Well they could do a lot worse. To see movies that pumped up dreams, to have someone who hugs them, and to just have some free time to sit and think about the world, life, and the future. Our kids today are in every sport you can think of, constantly on the go as a result, and so are their parents. STRESS! This is the time of year to enjoy family, a great dinner and conversation...and most of all watch the faces of our grandchildren filled with excitement. Slow down and enjoy those moments and don't be bashful to tell them some stories from your past. Half of the things I learned about life was sitting on the back porch talking to my grandfather. Just remember, no matter how little you have, you are better off than 75% of the rest of the world. Thank your God and dole out as many hugs as you can.

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  I just read about Hilary's heroic battle with flu and resulting faint and fall with head injury. Of course she can't testify, and she will be unable to remember a thing about Benghazi if she is required to testify. How unfortunate. How sad. How convenient.

We had been warned that she may not testify. The length some will go to........

The first elected Republican who questions the veracity of her medical excuse will be crucified by Dems, liberal women and MSM...and so it won't be done and she will not testify and their lies will once again succeed.

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  My senator, Jim DeMint, has resigned and will head up the Heritage Foundation. Hope and pray this is a shot across the bow directed at McConnell, Boehner, and the rest of the useless, self serving old guard GOP. Boehner firing all the Tea Party members from their committee positions probably triggered the decision. This could be the start of a rebellion: the new true conservatives vs. the defeatist old poops. December 6 at 13:26 EST .    1 person like this.    Montanabound  S.C. has a lot of good congressmen.

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  I have a question about tax law that I hope someone can answer. When my niece and her husband were given the use of a mid-town Manhattan apartment as a perk, she had to get a job to pay the tax levy (the apartment was valued at $6000 per month ) determined by the IRS. How much does a president pay in taxes for the use of what most would call a palace? With valets, chefs, housekeepers, maids, gardeners, chauffeurs? How about travel, greens fees, entertainment ? Parties? If these perks were taxed, prez and family might be more frugal. Anybody know how this works? Or do we indeed have the royalty now the Founding Fathers abhorred?

Some individual politicians exempt themselves from income tax; i.e. our Treasury Secretary for one. Remember Pelosi's 747 for personal use.....bet she never paid a dime in income tax for that perk.

Tulunk posted on Pet Peeves  Politicians and "journalists" describing wanted or captured felons as "lady's and gentlemen" when talking about crimes. For instance, "the gentleman shouted allah akbar before opening fire on the victims."

I would imagine that the 'reporters' get the names from the offical documents there. Mrs. Cow November 15 at 17:22 EST .   3 people like this.    Yottyhere  MrsC is correct as far as down here in middle GA is concerned. Names at the courthouse are called out by the 3 names .....Joe Brown then becomes Joe Sidney Brown or Jo Michelle Brown or J'o Kawanis Brown...... If Buzzard or I ever got arrested we might "possibly" get the 3 name treatment or not.....

My mom would yell, ''Nu Getyerbacksideinherethisminute Goddess! Come 'mere!'' And that's when I would head for the hills. You don't want your mama calling your middle name in the south. Uh-uh!

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  Does anybody have any idea how many people work in government jobs;, city, county, state and federal? I cannot imagine a one them voting to reduce the size of government. Combine that with the millions who have only survived because of government programs doling out food and housing with no effort required in exchange, and you have your new majority. Also, could we get rid of the notion that "all men are created equal?" At least half of the population is pretty damn dumb, and the Dems have learned how to control them. Sigh. November 11 at 21:33 EST .    Hollyhock  A lot of those working government jobs are also union. AFSCME. November 11 at 23:58 EST .    Montanabound  Husband is DOD employee. Many of them are GOP. Of course, Defense is the only thing that dems want to cut, so I guess they are voting not to reduce the defense dept. November 13 at 00:48 EST .

Tulunk posted on Main Page The Lobby  I love the cartoon on the main page and do hope that Clint Eastwood knows what a beautiful stroke of genius he had with the "Empty Chair President." And the "intellectuals" on both sides were sooooo judgmental of the old man's attempt at humor. He was miles ahead of the wise ones, and his empty chair will be remembered long after their smirking faces. Go, Clint!!! October 13 at 17:51 EST .    1 person like this.    Straitpath  Amen.

Non-involved knee-jerk liberal neighbor asked about the "empty chair". Wasn't pleased with the answer. Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm.
