The Far SIde: The Chickens are Restless

[ladyhk13]

Right now One Second After. Good read. Also have been in Rawles book as well. I also downloaded about 50 free titles for the kindle last week. Several of those are collage level chemistry, math, physics, & history.

Reading that right now too! Have any of you read Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman? Someone gave it to me about 20 years ago and I passed it down to my son who cherishes it.

Besides the board, just got finished with Inheritance by Christopher Paoli third in the Eragon dragon riders series. Love my Sci-Fi, fantasy books.

Katrina I have to admit that I love sci fi/murder/mystery/horror too. I'm a Harry Potter fan.

Just finished reading the Chicken soup for the soul A Book of Miracles. By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and LeAnn Theiman. Now I have nothing to read. So I am going to write some more on my book. That is until my next Mother Earth News magazine comes in.

Do any of you get the "offshoot" series that Mother Earth has out? Can't remember the exact name of it but it comes out 4 times a year and is awesome.

I've been thinking about studying a language.
Being of Scottish decent, I've always wanted to learn Gaelic, but a language you cannot practice will be lost. I have kinda wanted to learn Russian, but the same logic applies.
Lately, I've been thinking about Spanish. I actually have no desire to learn it for myself. However, it would seem that post-SHTF of almost any kind, you'd need it sooner or later, unless you're hidden way out there. Practice would be everywhere, since it's being forced down our throats with signs and packaging.
If you're going to barter post-SHTF, you're going to have to meet and interact with people. Realistically, if someone who doesn't speak very good English has what you need, does that change the fact that you need it? Spanish seems to be the most prevalent other language that I've noticed.
Not to mention, overheard Spanish about what someone plans to do to you, that they think you don't understand, is certainly to your advantage if you know it.

Do you mean Grit? Just got the card for that in my Mother Earth mag. Going to start getting it soon. But you canbuy it at BAM.

Taz,
There are 2 from Mother that are spin offs:
the Wiser Living Series and the Food & Garden Series
Both are really good ones.

[Onestep]

Last few were:
The Foxfire Book.
Total Money Makeover
and 2012 Farmer's Almanac

Taz, been thinking of getting Grit magazine myself, looks like it would have a wealth of information for us.
