Going solar and growing your own food. Wolfmann

Dear Wolfy & Friends

 

I'm sorry for the gloom and doom topic I originally posted. It's ........ just .... well ..... after seeing that movie, I was alarmed that we - being ... well ... practically most people ..... are too complaicent about what is going on with the cost of oil and such, and I wanted to give people a reality check.

 

I posted the exact same thing in another community ..... a demon goth community ..... and in 4 mobile.com sms text messages, the manager effectively roasted me for "using" him like an emotional punching bag in the community.  All because I playfully joked that not everybody may want to contribute to creating a make believe situation of a female midget giving a "regular" guy a blow job, and that I requested he define "regular" both in the height of this hypothetical male, and the size of his organ.  He then posted 2 remarks in the community itself snarling at my kill-joy attitude, and that if anybody else felt that way, they are not to post.

 

I posted a calm, depressed and regretful response, apologising for upsetting him, and within a couple of seconds, I found out that the Manager had changed the messageboard settings to moderate any future messages.  To me, this was the final straw ........... I up and left the community and one other that he is of managerial status - so that he can't ....... well ..... let's just say "effect" me again.

 

About the above, what we have done with our neighbours, is that we have "teamed" up together ..... each having their own vege plots and the like in their own gardens, but excess fruit and vege's are handed out between us.  We are soon to be swamped with oranges again this year, so we'll be offering buckets of them to the 3 other neighbours we have this unofficial and friendly routine with.  The neighbour to our right has a lemon tree, which, like our orange tree, goes troppo with fruit every year, so we swap - oranges for lemons, and so it goes on and on, with the neighbour down the road has blackberries and passionfruit ............. 

 

Dad always makes a point of asking each of them what vege's they are gonna put in, so that we can sort of co-ordinate and reduce out grocery bills and also our petrol costs going into town to get veges.

 

Dad's an electrical teacher by trade - well retired anyways - so he helps me out with electrical advice.  I am hoping to afford - one day, a solar generator to do the main part of supplying electricity to the house, with the mains supply as emergency back up ..... a kinda role reversal sort of thing.

 

Anyways ..... thank you to all of you who have read through this, and read all my typed waffle - I'll be alright, just in a big downer at the moment.

 

My sincerest affections to you all,

 

shan.
