In response to a lot of questions we've received, I thought I would write a series of articles (3) to answer your interest in how to go about greening a home and yard. We have been on this property for 3 years as of Oct 15, 2013. So I thought the best way to go about sharing what we did was to describe the order we did things in, one year at a time.  I hope this article series helps you in your own journey of greening your home and yard. * Part 1 of this article was  published on January 2nd ; Part 2 was  published on January 7th ... today is the final installment of this series. Year 3: Oct 15, 2012 – Oct. 15, 2013 Before winter came in, we closed in the front of the garage with an insulated wall and insulated automatic door. The other walls of the garage are covered only with corrugated plastic roof materials – however, we intend to cover them properly with siding to match the rest of the exterior and insulate them properly next...

-- Quote of the Day --  “ We put together an organization to provide the availability of goods and services that people would need if they want to stay in their own home as they get older.  …The children are able to join the organization so they can learn what their parents are going through or will go through as the aging process continues. …The kids can monitor what mom and dad are doing – for example we can monitor the oven range so that the child will know when a burner is turned on and if it is on for a half hour, the monitor will say something like ‘Hey Dad it is time to turn off the oven’, or ‘Hey Dad it is time to take  your medicine’ …without invading the privacy of the adult. …we have speakers come in to talk about what they can expect. …We have (in the US) 10,000 people retiring every day!” ~ David Willis Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on June 25… titled: ...

-- Quote of the Day --    “Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because your articles are rejected.

-- Product Review -- When I first learned of the products offered by MeasuredEdge.com through Jordan Hackney, the interesting shapes and stylized text and measurements burned into wooden rulers immediately intrigued me.  The original connection with Jordon was back on Oct. 29 th and I received the product on November 18 th in regular mail. One of the first things I noticed was that both the shipping container and on the interior packaging also had stylized text burned into them, and were made of recyclable cardboard.  The ruler that I received was of an interesting knife ($9.95 US) design that really does look like a large hunting knife and with the text – May Your Blade Strike True – burned on the packaging. However my husband noticed right away that there is no mark for where the 0 should start. So we took out one of our other rulers and sure enough, the spot where the 0 should start is actually not part of the ruler – there fore if you use...
