Fortunately for us preparedness types, the feathery kind are productive! The suited kind – not so much! Today I ask you to ask some questions about the person and the party that you are going to vote for on election day. Voting on emotion isn’t really what Canada or you deserve. Ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly. I hope they get you thinking of other questions to ask. We head to the forum to see what the hot topic is and talk about the discussion. Seems lately chickens are on everyone’s minds. What’s the best way to raise chickens? How much space do chickens need? Coops? Paddocks? Free range? Let’s talk about it.

They are also the ones that are most likely cause an incredible amount of grief for you and your family. Yet we know that these things are almost inevitable, so we can plan for them and make them less stressful for ourselves. Once we have planned for them, they don’t have to loom in the back of our mind, like a gargoyle waiting to pounce. We can concern ourselves with more enjoyable things. By preparing, we can dramatically improve the quality of our lives today and in the event that these common life events happen. Today, we talk about being prepared for the passing of a spouse or of ourselves – to ease the burden of our grieving spouse and family by making sure you have wills in place and up to date. This is just an overview to get you thinking. Resources: What are trusts and how could they benefit you?

It’s also insanity that the protesters would take the bait.  Here’s a few of my thoughts and a few ideas to help you avoid, or deal with, such a situation if you have to be near it. Of course I’ve got some political and philosophical thoughts about this whole G20 and G8 thing, yet I don’t really go into it in this podcast. As time goes on, you’ll find me addressing these sorts of events and news items more regularly. Hope you enjoy, let’s talk in the forum!

Nonetheless, I think it’s a pretty decent show – considering it’s just one big brainstorm. Well, there’s is the fact that the audio quality is bad. I tried to use Audacity to make it better, but this is as good as it gets. Must be something wrong with the headset. Today I’m talking about the importance of: food in general macronutrients balance in nutrition food production and food storage dehydrate2store videos It’s a lot of general terms, since each of these can be an episode in itself.
