Off-topic: a small investment worth considering in these crazy times
Hi Everyone, You may not have known, but I used to be a professional investor. Years ago, I decided to no longer use my life energy to have money make money. That "life pivot" was the inception of The Grow Network. I discovered that real wealth is not so much about money, but is based in health, family, community,…

The Great Barrington Declaration
For those interested: This worldwide declaration states many of the same concerns that I have about the damage of the mental health of others. I came across this just this evening. I know some of you would want to be aware of it as well.

Vaccines & ethics
I don't like manipulation. Repeatedly personally and also historically, I have observed the medical system behave in this way. It always comes with a certain measure of fearmongering, and if needed to accomplish something in their favor, lies, & of course, resulting confusion. What is happening now is just on a much larger…

Covid 19 vaccine
I know this has been discussed before but cannot find the discussion. After talking to many people at my hospital, i plan on taking the vaccines. Most likely not the first round since there are many more at more risk than i. We know more about SARS, the actual virus that causes Covid infections, studies are promising. We…

Covid in Italy before Wuhan?
In the first paragraph: This boy had not travelled out of the country before this time. I have seen this story from many different generally respected news outlets. I have heard from a top provincial nurse & a lab tech that many coronaviruses have always been around. These folks said that they suspected that their family…

COVID and urban farming in Tokyo
In the midst of all the negativity surrounding COVID, it was encouraging to see something positive. This news piece talks about two things. The first half of the video explains how vegetable wholesalers have overcome the drop in sales to supermarkets and restaurants. The second half is about an urban farmer that saved his…

Thinking ahead to next year's garden
I understand that some seed companies are still out of stock on some seeds. And I'm sure that will only continue as more are growing their own food. This year I would like to grow more herbs and flowers that can be beneficial to eat/use in making herbal products for me and my family and also used for cooking. One I'd…

Ruminations on the supply chain in light of the virus.... big stuff, actually
Some of this is conjecture, but my education is in economics.... so it may be better described as observations in context. It is difficult to explain the modern supply chain. But, the reason we still don't have toilet paper, alcohol or yeast on the shelves in NC is because of modern "efficiency". Stores (especially…

Protecting my lungs against the cold: my experience
Note from Admin & disclaimer: This is not a cure for covid, nor a proven defense against covid (as the OP has clearly stated). However, it is always prudent to strengthen your body through natural means. If you choose to follow this regimen, it is done at your own risk. COVID has become "all the rage" around here, so I…

A John Hopkins study
This professor looked at available stats. She did a webinar & had an article published in their newsletter, which was removed/detracted after a short while. I noted that as much as it was removed, the reason was not that the data was wrong, but it was somehow going to possibly be used for misinformation. Considering all of…

Anxious and stocking up...
So with the election a week away and Covid cases climbing, I am feeling apprehensive. Our family has had some "what if" conversations, and we decided to spend some money to stock up on essentials (dry goods, toilet paper, and a few treats) just in case things get rough again. We realize that we are fortunate to have the…

Scrutiny From a Major Canadian Newspaper
We found this very much of interest, especially since this story seems to go against the flow of most articles in papers right now....so it is pretty rare to read these types of news stories. I figured that other people who are not in our country should consider this journalist's scrutiny of the information released as…

How will "the" vaccine be implemented?
*I will be watching this discussion closely. I feel that it is necessary to hold one on this subject. BUT, if the conversation becomes tense or heated, or includes any inappropriate content, I will remove offending posts & shut the thread down. Please keep emotions in check and choose your words with care if you wish to…

What weird shortages are you seeing in your area?
The newest shortage for me has been dishwasher detergent. Dish soap (Joy, Dawn, etc.) is available, but not the dishwasher detergent. Yes, I know that there is an easy DIY substitute. But still, I didn't expect it to be completely gone. When I asked a store clerk about it, she said they weren't getting any delivered to…

Heath Freedom in the Time of Coronavirus
What does the future hold for health freedom? It's not looking good. I am extremely concerned by the big tech censorship of anyone who goes off the mainstream media coronavirus narrative. For example, those doctors who had the "White Coat Summit" were banned off of many platforms for sharing their protocols. The media…

Predict the future
I was talking to a farmer today as I was picking up eggs. He said he usually brings over 120 dozen eggs to the farmers market, but this week, demand at the farm has been so high that he had less than 90 dozen to bring. I've noticed similar issues at local strawberry farms--extremely high demand. My milk farm has seem it as…

Birds sang more softly during the human shutdown
The Mercury News brings us one of the more interesting stories of the day.

The sound levels of bird songs fell by more than…
