I wonder about you people

[sparrowgrass]

Sparrowgrass is an old form of asparagus--my favorite vegetable, which appears in my favorite season--spring.

Some of you would hate my lawn--I mow around the wildflowers (weeds, to them who don't know no better .) Lucky for me, I have no neighbors. I live on 2 acres surrounded by woods and pastures, high in the Missouri Ozarks, with 2 Australian shepherds and 20 chickens.

I have 2 sons, 26 and 23, and one new daughter in law. I am looking (but not too hard) for some rich old guy to support me in my old age. (This is probably the place where I should tell you that I am female!) Preferably one who who is handy--there is always some plumbing or wiring or carpentry to do on my circa 1872 farmhouse.

Oh, and if he is a tractor mechanic, all the better. Need to get than 1952 8N up and running--the driveway is washing away even as I type.

I finally got a few minutes to describe where I am coming from........started as being a participant in the "back to the land movement" in the early 1970's and stuck with it. Bought a sawmill, sawed lumber off our land to build our sheds and cabin. Starting gardening right away, main motivation was to have control over our food, to keep chemicals out, herbicides, pesticides, stuff like that. Have gardened organically for 30 years now. Got goats 28 years ago to feed my addiction to milk. Bought our second homestead in the early 1980's and built all over again. Got an associates degree in dietetics in the early 1990's and at first I managed a nursing home kitchen but eventually moved into the clinical stuff (paperwork) only. Left that 7 years ago to stay home full time to have fun. Some of my passions are cooking, baking, sewing, quilting, piano playing, gardening, canning and preserving, traveling, genealogy, writing, photography and having folks over for meals. Oh, yeah, and dealing with a thread that i do not want to start; dealing with an aging parent. I am interested in energy conservation, Americans use an obscene amount of this worlds energy. This includes an interest in using locally produced foods which means less energy was used in transporting foods; I live a fur piece from California or Brazil. It also means supporting local organic farmers at farmers markets. Generally I do not purchase foods from grocery stores. We raise almost all of our vegetables, fruits, milk and meats. I buy all grains, oils, nuts and other staples from natural foods establishments. Got any questions? Will be happy to answer.

After reading through the many posts, all I have to say is that we have a whole bunch of interesting and wonderful people on this site, with varying backgrounds, likes and dislikes, and all of us civil, and freindly with each other. If only the rest of the world were like this.

I just wish some of those who used to be here, like Audio, Rainee (who I haven't seen around lately), Joe'sfolks, and many others, were still around.

I have made freinds in this community. It is a place of value. Thanks for being a great bunch.

Oh, and for Constance, how's the book comming?

I am Timeloyd a Galactic Philosopher, Wild Food Specialist and Male. My name is Lloyd T as in Time.
because my Dads middle nane is differenrt from mine.
One day as I was watching Doctor Who wearing my multi colored scarf and eatting jelly babes a friend commented, "Doctor Who is a Time Lord. You are a Time Lloyd." I combined the two into a sngle name British style (removing a l when in middle of name. It fit me perfectly and stuck. It is pronounced Taimloyd.
I have also gone by Timelupin because I liked Lupin alot in Anime and it bis also a reference to traveling in a Time Loop thus Timelupin pronounced Timeloopin' .
Galactic Philosopher a Timeloyd am I.

[middie]

I'm a female. And yes my avatar picture IS me

 

[bright]

QSis, this is Mylegsbig Fiancee. If you would like to know the story behind his name and avatar, simply go to off topic or general convo, not sure what its called, and search for a thread "truth about legsbig" the gist of it is they are both inside jokes. and he explained them in detail. you may even get a kick out of it.

 

[QSis]

Oh, hey! Thanks, bright! I missed that whole thread, and I was left wondering why Myleg didn't jump in to explain.

Well, here's the link to his explanations - good ones! http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f26/the-truth-about-legsbig-22143.html?highlight=truth+legsbig

Very interesting about the martial art sport - I'd never heard of it. I think I'd like watching that crocop guy - legs almost as good as my beloved Jason Varitek (catcher for the Red Sox)!

Also, the complete picture of the guy in the avatar IS funny! I was scratching my head about why Myleg thought the avatar face was.

Thank you for posting!
