But mostly not because of the environmentalism thing, but because you had the courage to go through babyhood and toddlerhood again after you'd gotten through the diaper stage. Now *that's* really, really brave...and a little nuts ;-) (says the woman who is dreaming of the day that no one in her life requires her assistance with anything in the toileting process).<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sharonjewishfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547121621115074866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-36546313006001986332008-01-19T16:11:00.000-06:002008-01-19T16:11:00.000-06:00Greenpa, if just half the people in the world were...Greenpa, if just half the people in the world were just half as bonkers as you, most of our environmental problems would be solved.

It works for you and your family. It wouldn't work for us, much like other lifestyle choices wouldn't work for us. What I enjoy about you is that you don't write about how your lifestyle SHOULD or MUST work for us. <BR/><BR/>Ran into a Canadian person/family online who lives similarly to your situation by choice (although not associated with environment) and followed their posts regarding outages of prime source, backup #1, backup #2, etc. for a few years. Before they lived THAT way, they'd spent a few years living in the bush, and before they lived THAT way, they were high-paid consultants living in a city.<BR/><BR/>Not an easy lifestyle, by any means, and certainly not one to be undertaken by folks who are "handy" impaired. <BR/><BR/>Good to see you finally back. I didn't get the memo wherein you mentioned taking a visit to see dad.Oldnovicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714134603537886606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-23010507425862083912008-01-18T18:32:00.000-06:002008-01-18T18:32:00.000-06:00Hooray!

You were totally kicking ass in the poll until Sharon unleashed her minions :)<BR/><BR/>Oh well, I think the current results are probably about right. Although I'm sure Spice might try voting more than once in your favor.Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-80279059464318299132008-01-18T16:13:00.000-06:002008-01-18T16:13:00.000-06:00Greenpa,It's nice to see you back in the blogspher...Greenpa,<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see you back in the blogsphere even if a post about dealing with the intricacies of heating with a wood stove is beyond my comprehension. Maybe someday it will be a skill I have but for now it's hot water baseboard heaters for me.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I voted for Sharon, too, because she's, well, so darned INTENSE about everything. Most of the time. That, I think, is nuttier than being off grid and having an awesome outhouse. But being off grid and having an awesome outhouse does not mean you aren't an environmental nut job, just not the biggest most flaming one.<BR/><BR/>That said, I do enjoy your level of nuttiness. Keep it up and I look forward to future posts.<BR/><BR/>KerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-42702692789007201222008-01-18T14:36:00.000-06:002008-01-18T14:36:00.000-06:00Welcome Home!

I actually don't think you're the all-out nuttiest of the group! <BR/><BR/>But having said that, I love how... outgoing you are about your beliefs. I think we all love that ; ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
