Can anyone post here?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I was wondering if anyone is welcome here, no matter what level of country living they aspire to? We want to move to rural property when my husband retires from the USMC in few yrs, but maybe not totally self sufficient...not sure. I might have questions about this kind of living, and wanted to know if I could post even if I'm not there yet? Thanks, in advance, for any replies!

Hi Kathy! Sure you can post here, but I gotta warn ya. After hanging around us for a while, you WILL have the homesteading bug, and your husband will have to buy you a bit bigger rural property! Nice to meet you. What state are you in, Virginia?

Welcome Kathy: We all have been where you are at one time or another (at least that is the opinion I get). I can remember a period in my life when I would dream and dream. have fun and join in.

I keep saying I'm not a homesteader; I just have land with animals and a garden on it, that produces money from eggs, rabbits, pigs, goats...oopps, well I still don't think of myself as a homesteader.
