Party on. Whereabouts are you? I'm also about 8 miles from that downtown in the old St. Paul village of Lauderdale that borders both cities...

Hello from the Twin Cities! Urban foraging, growing food and raising livestock is very possible here ~ my sweetie and I have raised chickens and ducks for meat and we plan to keep raising chickens for this purpose. I am also interested in raising rabbits as well. Having a goat is allowed in St. Paul and other areas might also someday allow them. We don't have a car and get along very happily without one. I do my laundry without machines, I have made a DIY composting toilet, and we've already been doing the greywater thing for a long time.

Wonder if anyone else here is from Minneapolis/St. Paul or surrounding areas.

What's wrong with body hair?  (Not replying to your singles ad as a prospect, but am genuinely curious.)

I *love* the natural beauty of North America, but can't stand many human attitudes here.  Luckily there are a lot of diverse personalities, just like anywhere else (despite what the media would have us believe).

Have lurked for a bit, and this topic made me register! 

I am a female.  *Love* peeing outdoors ~ much better than doing so indoors and do it when out and about in the wilderness or city (I live in a major urban area, and can still usually find semi-secluded places to go if needed).

Not overly concerned about "cleanliness", but non-poisonous leaves and snow can be helpful.

Indoors, am doing greywater flushing and have everything set up for my DIY bucket-style composting toilet...will likely start this weekend.

Great thread!  Yes, hope it does indeed save some perfectly good drinking water from getting flushed.
