Re: now what are we gonna talk about?
Tue, August 5, 2008 - 1:54 PMwhatever you lke.
since I spoke up, let me introduce myself.
I'm one of the yountgest of the "old-school" hippie types, 51 and a bit years old, made it to a bunch of the moratorium-against-the-Vietnam-War marches when i was young 9and made my mother very nervous)raising a really great daughter who is about to start high school. I;ve been involved with home birth midwifery (and non-midwifed home birth too) since my early teen years when the whole thing was reviving, use Western botanical medicine and some energy work to keep myself, my family and interested friends healthy, been vegetarian since age 14 too, would live in gruop husehold again with the right people, garden organically 9and save my pee to dilute and water the grden), dislike the entertainment industrym like the Grateful Dead. do some community theater, have been arrested for nonviolent direct action but not recently. pot is a useful tool, medically and spiritually,but not essential to my lifestyle.
cast iron and handcrafting as much as possible ARE essential to my lifestyle. lmost never shave my legs, wear my hair loose and undyed (iot's slowly going gray), n tattoos, drive an ancient VOlvo put together by a former boyfriend from two wrecked one. like clothing optional hot springs -

I swear I'm going to look for old pieces for camping. I should ask for that for xmas from the brother instead of pieces for a new computer.
Would also like to get rainwater system set up but we have asphalt roof. :( -

Sat, August 9, 2008 - 9:03 PMboth cool topics. i love cast iron. the best place to get it is secnd hand stores. the older, the better. each piece is a treasure to find.
a good cistern is really cool too. they stay beautifully cool in the summer. best place to stash the beer and the butter. -

Sat, August 9, 2008 - 9:38 PMcoolest cast iron thing I;lve acquired recently; an old-fashioned cherry stoner (pun maybe for hippies) that clamps ionto the table, vintage 1917 or so. I hand-pitted too many cherry plums making jam last month for Food Not Bombs and heklpig the disabled older women who have these wildproducing trees in their back yard.
I;ve been having fruit and vegetable production anxiety dreams with summer harvest season, trying to traise and process organic food in the city. this summer I;ve avoided colelcting more animal pets (I;m down to the four turtles and tortoise Iv;ew ahd for years, plus one cat) but keep picking up seedlings and starts that I don;'t have room for in mylittle container-nased front yard organic garden.
I talked to someone from the SOlar Living Festival, where I;m volunteering in the medical tent next weekend, and I think I;ll give awau some tomato, pumpkin, cucumber, summer squash, and melon starts to good homes there (interior Mendocino County).
I'm too sleepy to start a bunch of new topics here tonight, but will talk about the SOlar Living Festival in next few days. anyone else going? need a ride or want to rideshare (wuth me and some pitted veggie starts?)
I live in Berkeley.
