i have to say that For sexual intimacy, all types of lubricants have a
slippery, lubricating quality. However, women will probably shy away from
petroleum-based products for potential skin irritation and condom damage
reasons, and from oil-based products, if their partner uses condoms. For
vaginal dryness, water-based products with superior natural moisturizing
qualities will attract most women. Check out the products and their
ingredients carefully. Make an informed buying decision for your bod

yes ! its a good to hear that If I could raise 4 chickens and 3 ducks in a “typical, small urban backyard”…you could certainly tuck a few onto a few acres!!!
The eggs are WAY BETTER and chickens eat anything….even all your kitchen scraps (vege trimmings, leftovers, bread crusts, etc.)

Joshua — folks from your family ever wander up to the Navajo Nation? The first thing I learned when I lived and worked in Chinle was that, if you wandered out to the Mormon trading posts that ring the res, they often bought and slaughtered Navajo sheep and lambs.

Last time I was near Gallup I paid $1.99/lb. for fresh lamb that was eating sagebrush the day before. I tried [and failed] to convince Navajo officials they had a gold mine walking around the res in all that naturally-fed four-footed protein.

Mr. Fusion
You would only need a few chickens to provide fresh eggs…and the “waste” would be good for your garden, and the chickens would rid the garden of unwanted bugs (they love sowbugs, earwigs, and assorted other creepy crawlers). You’re mistaken if you think it would cause any issues and even MOST cities will allow a few hens (roos are another issue..although I take mine in at night). The urban chicken is a growing trend. If I could raise 4 chickens and 3 ducks in a “typical, small urban backyard”…you could certainly tuck a few onto a few acres!!!
The eggs are WAY BETTER and chickens eat anything….even all your kitchen scraps (vege trimmings, leftovers, bread crusts, etc.) and turn it INSTANTLY into compost!
Chickens are GREAT!

Joshua
“free range organic” means nothing….it used to, but the term was “regulated” by the FDA and USAG, and now it means “open door for an hour, slightly bigger cage” and “organic” can still mean ground up mystery meat and antibiotics.
Uhhh…..the terms you WANT to look for are “pastured”

And, then with the side kicker “no antibiotics or growh hormones”

yeesh, let’s pay attention to our food

#19, Unfortunately, we would need two or more acres to raise livestock, including chicken. Because we are all on wells out here, the county believes one needs the extra area to get rid of sewage. Also, because this is such a small farming* community, 3,400, the sole supermarket doesn’t carry too much outside of the regular meat and potatoes. Geeze, they don’t even carry kippers.

* corn and soybeans

#17…tallwookie…if you eat store bought beef or pork, you just might be surprised at how much anti-biotics your getting. And that goes for that glass of milk in your hand.

#16…Mr. Fusion….you can buy organic beef and poultry and pork at stores all over now. And if your lucky enough to have a real butcher shop around, you can bet they will have it or get it for you. With 2 acres, you can raise your own chicken and have some laying hens for eggs.

#16 – most of us don’t have the acreage to raise our own livestock. If we could, of course we would,

Hey now Mr. Fusion… Speak for yourself. You want to raise livestock, be my guest… I, on the other hand, prefer never to wake up outside the safe confines of civilization. Put my meat in the corner deli, next to my dry cleaners, by the L stop, across from that diner, down the street from my hi rise.

I dont eat chicken or poultry – never have, never will

- it tastes bad
- its got a weird texture
- I wont miss it when world chicken populations are decimated by birdflu
- since i dont/wont eat it, i am not restistant to antibiotics

#14, Same comment I was going to make.

Joshua, you make a good point but most of us don’t have the acreage to raise our own livestock. If we could, of course we would, but I have less then two acres and can only afford a vegetable garden. But then our fruit trees give us enough preserves to last the year, without any added garbage.

I’ve got no problem with people hunting for food. But “recreation hunting”… now, that’s something that I’ve got a problem with.

#13

All the power to you and your family. I would buy meat from a farm like yours, even if it cost me more. One of the problems with the big industrial farms is that they’re mixing up whatever in the food for the cows and pigs, and you end up with things like the mad cow disease.

I thought the link between antibiotics in feed for livestock of all kinds and “superbugs” has been pretty well known for years now. Except to Congress and the FDA, of course.

I know it’s almost impossible with now 300 million mouths to feed to provide enough organis/or organic free range for everyone, but it sure as hell could be close.

My Dad informed me that no one on his side of the family has bought a store bought chicken since 1887 and even when my Grandfather sold them, no chemicals of any kind or store bought feed was ever used for raising them. My Mom’s family also raised their own free range until 1994 when my Grandfather died and no one kept chickens anymore.

We do the same with out pigs and of course the cattle that we still raise. They are grain and grass fed, that we grow ourselves and is organic. No chemicals are used on either for any reason.

This is why I hunt. Fresh good meat with no crap added. Up here in Minnesota we hunt Grouse and it tastes tons better than any chicken. venison is also good. Way better than beef.

I would like to know what is in my schools food. It doesn’t look very natural at all..
