At least it presents a growing challenge for me... and most likely for many of us... and for those, who already are doing all that can be done; please, tell us, who still are working on it as the saying goes, and let us know step by step how and what you did, eh? Can't wait to get some Hands-On tips!

It really is astruggle, a daily struggle to even do a liiiiitle change for the Better For All everyday. But I do as much and as consciously as I ever can. For instance; when I go to Grocery Store, I take my own Canvas bags... no more plastic bags from the Store!...
I look for BULK food more & more....
I make thing I never had dreamt of making... Next thing will be to make my own Ketchup, so I don't need to buy these ridiculously small ans expensive (read wasteful) Reay Made...even if they are "Organic"... I decided I can make organic Ketchup...and at least as yummy as the ones from the Store.
After that, I will get more & more into baking GOOD, HEALTHY bread!....Why pay six bucks per bread that only my hubby likes but not me?!?... No... Done!

I want people to start to hang out and chat and share here too, so...I will create that space & time to do so...

Most likely the first Chat will be about our need to Drama. I want to know how attached each person is to Drama (in their lives)... Those whom I deem to be too much attached to Drama are OUT!...because our level of need for Drama, be it active in our own lives or just be there vicariously through uuuhing and aaaahing too much about this 'n' that with no end in sight, are still too far into Adversity thinking/
Poverty /Struggle Life styles to even contemplate to change their Life styles and any sort of transformation for themselves.

I will also make this coming year to theee Money Transformation Year to the MILLENIAS!... and certainly for myself!

Yuppp... the list goes on like this.... I'll keep you posted -if you wish! ; )

OK, your turn! : )

Hugs/A-d

there ya go. As far off the grid as possible. How about zero point energy? Ketchup! What do you use kethcup for? We make lots of things here like sauces of various kinds, breads, our bees make honey, too, and that might be a thing for you to contemplate as well...bees! You can get the manual on the net but I forget exactly where. If you're interested I'll do the re-search. Let me see...

Oh, so many things to discuss on this plane...

Here's a challenge for you dear girl...

Yeah, it seems futile sometimes...doing these little things as an individual, when the Big Boys just laugh at us. Nevertheless, there is satisfaction...and it's monetary when you start saving cash for ditching the Consumer Lifestyle. Change any remaining lightbulbs! And we've discovered there are LED decoration lights this year...multi-colored too. They cost more but are supposed to last 20 years...and they use sooo little electric.

Hello, is this the Division of drug enforcement ?

'Yes. What can we do for you?'

'I'm calling to report my neighbor Virgil Smith....He's hiding
Marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside
the logs, but he's hidin' it there.'

'Thank you very much for the call, sir.'

The next day, the Drug Unit descends on Virgil's house. They search
the shed where the firewood is kept.

Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana.

They warn Virgil that he is under investigation and leave.

Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house. 'Hey, Virgil! This is
Floyd....Did the DEA come?'

'Yeah!'

'Did they chop your firewood?'

'Yep!'

" Merry Christmas, buddy!"

Slowly but surly I been swaping out light bulbs for the LED versions, not the compact florecent ones, the LED kind, not only do LEDs us less power they use less amps, although most the lighting in my trailer is 12 volt, I have trouble blowing circit breakers with the regular incandecent bulbs and running an electric heater and a coffee pot, and then try and microwave a muffin, pop, out go the lights, lol. But as well I been swaping out my tail light and directional bulbs in my truck, and have noticed that my alternator has a much easyer time charging the battery, and LEDs dont get hot so Im not having to replace the plastic lens covers like I used to have to do every so often. There are a couple companies that make them for track lighting and the tech is caught up in the low voltage area, for instance, we have walk lights that use quartz bulbs, they get hot they burn out in a year, they also limit the amount of fixtures I can run on a trans former, basicly 250watts a circit, each fixture with a quarts bulb runs 20watts and a couple of them run 50watts, now I can run the new LED bulbs with 24 LEDs per bulb and they only use 3 watts each, this means I can deleet 2 full 500watt transformers and just run one to run all the walk lights on the property and still get more than enough light and still be able to add more fixtures. They even have them for spot lighting trees. :}
