Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I got a giggle out of this one Shawn. Things are going south on you too? Happens to women all of the time. <laughing> So, welcome to the party. Caves are good. We are in the process of attempting to buy a house pending the inspections. If we get it I plan on pitching my tent in the back yard. I may not have a cave like you, but the tent will do to satisfy my craving and heritage to live outside nearer to the earth. The back yard at this house is enormous and very much like a real life secret garden. Thee hast bestest pay attention or we will put weights on your feet when we leave you in the dumpster upside down. But, one thing, if you can cook deliciously we will save you. But you must cook for us and well and possibly even have to do the dishes. Remember that you did say that our precious presence was kindness enough. LOL Got to watch what you say because I am one of those darned females that will take you at your word and make you live by it. And one more thing....I won't show you mine until you show me yours and then that will depend on what you find in the dumpsters that have thrilled us. I like the Freegans idealism and the rationale that most of them dive under (pun intended). But I don't think that it is something that I would be all that into. There are many different ways to work on alleviating the waste and over consumption that we are so guilty of but eating tossed foods isn't on my list. Why can't I just go into a restaurant and point out to them the food they will be tossing and could they just give it to me as a head start? Or I could go sit with some stranger at their table and wait for them to offer me a bite or ask them if I can eat their leftovers (with a clean fork of course)? You attempt at being a gentleman is duly noted. linda " subprong " <subprong > > Ya know when PT brought up the freegan diving idea and you invited her, i > kinda pictured myself in a supervisory role....watching from the back. > Seems things have gone south on me! > > > No worries, I can still see the outside world (no bins unfortunately) from > the inside of my cave. > > You two would use me like that!
