I’m 48 so I guess I’m disqualified. You sound very like minded. I bet we would get along really well. Do you watch Ken Arrington? If not I think you’d like him. I watch on TikTok

I’ve cut down small trees with them pretty easily

Reading this made me realize I don’t want to ‘date’ and my recent thoughts on where would I even find someone compatible made me decide to get back together with my last girlfriend. Even though she gets annoying sometimes she still meant more to me than my coffee maker.
I didn’t actually have a dating phase with her. I knew her for a long time, probably 30 years. One day I got up the courage and asked her if I could cuddle with her sometime. That was what I genuinely wanted but one thing led to another.
Our personalities are different but our beliefs are very similar.
Some how or another this awesome thread made me decide to fix things with her.
Thank you Nichole and all of the other wonderful contributors. I pray you all find the person you need 🤗

The last woman I dated would just look lost if I tried a deep conversation. I don’t have anyone to unload my deep thoughts on other than my kids.
I’m 46 and have only dated 2 women. I really don’t know how to go about it. I am so unique that I assume there is no one out there for me. In the past when I would open up to people about my beliefs or how I live I would be laughed at so I mostly keep to myself.

Gal: Funny that Dance Hall is named Pair-a-dice, is that a coincidence? Pair-a-dice and paradise?
Guy: (singing) pair-a-dice by the dash board light. (Laughs) never thought of it that way

I wonder if it would chop up in one of those cheap wood chippers then you could just do a little at a time. That’s how I got rid of a huge patch of forsythia once. I would leave some so you have a never ending supply of biomass

I paid $156,000. I am willing to take a loss, but I am not desperate to sell. It is 7.5 acres roughly half farm and half wooded with a stream. Would be great for permaculturalists, homesteaders, survivalists, or hunters.
I used this property for my Geoff Lawton on line PDC design.  I never implemented any of my design, but I would pass it along to give you some ideas.
I have been dreaming of having a homestead here, but it doesn't seem to be fitting into the equation of my life at the moment. There are plenty of trees for timber building and firewood. Mostly hickory with some walnut, oak, maple, poplar and 2 redwoods. I think a couple browsing type sheep and 30 chickens would work out well.
This property is ideal for someone who likes privacy or is concerned with economic collapse type scenarios. The field is located at the top of a hill. No one would be able to see your animals, gardens or food forest except for the 2 neighboring properties. All you need is a gate at your access and some strategically placed fencing and it would be very difficult for someone to trespass.
I purchased it about 6 years ago as an investment. It has been chemical and pesticide free since I've owned it. I only cut the grass a couple times a year, other than that it is untouched.

I just took Geoff Lawton's online permaculture course. He said that there is information in the designers manual on different non-profits and I think he said on how to start them up. He did not go into much detail in the course, it was more just for inspirational purposes. I did not want to put out the money for the manual without knowing if it would be information that would even apply to me in the united states.
If I decide to pursue starting up a non-profit I will talk with an accountant and a lawyer for advice. I would think between the two I should be able to figure it out.

Non-judgment day is coming. I saw this on a bumper sticker once. I think it was supposed to be an atheists reason for being an atheist. Just a thought; if we didn't judge others this would be a much nicer place to live.
I think Paul's use of language adds to his material he puts out. When someone speaks freely you know you can trust them.
To those who don't share Paul's greatness because of a few words here and there, only share his works that do not have words you find offensive.
