Default Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad

I have often thought about what I would do if I could start over. This is what I came up with (sorry ending with a preposition).

I would:

Settle some place where I could be self sufficient...grow my own veggies and raise animals for my own meat/milk. Well, maybe grow soybeans and learn how to make textured vegetable protein...lol

Only eat what I grew and/or raised

Rely on solar power/wind power or some other source of alternative energy

Learn to sew in order to make clothes and other household items

Not that I would want to be estranged from the outside world...oh no...not by any means...would still want a city nearby offering culture and a night life

However, if I could start over...I'd like to be more self sustaining.
