Her name is Angie...

She, is always the one behind the scenes that gets things done around here, she's the one that started this forum and has placed the building blocks of it.

She will do what ever we need to do here , within reason, to make this a membership oriented forum for the members.
She is a nice lady and easy to approach and chat (on the front porch ) with.

Aw, Gee. Thanks Jim. I hope to get more Homesteading folks here too. And I love being prepared, even if it's only knowledge and a state of mine.

Welcome to everyone.

Nice to meet you @Angie. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Hi Sentry18, you are welcome. This forum is after my own heart and interests. I may not be deep into Prepping (but I did live nicely after April 27th 2011 tornados with 6 days of no power.)

 

[The Innkeeper]

NTMU Angie. Thanks for all you do behind the scenes. Looking forward to getting to know you better

 

[Swing]

Thanks Bob, I hope after things settle down to just sit and visit more with all of you.

 

[havasu]

I concur. Angie is one of the best people I have ever met. She can also fix my dumb mistakes pretty quick!

 

[Meerkat]

Hi Angie. Looks like this will be a great place to visit and learn from.

 

[Swing]

Thanks havasu and meerkat. I really hope so. We need a place to relax and talk about fun and important stuff. I hope this is it.

Hello Angie and thank you for the wonderful job you are doing! I love homesteading and this is near and dear to my heart too. I think this will be a new favorite of mine so I can learn from others who have the same interest.

We're good as long as none of us are a long-tailed cat.

 

[Amish Heart]

thanks for what you do, Angie!

 

[Tank-Girl]

Thank you! Thank you, THANK YOU!!!

After the raw deal Jim got and then I discovered, to my utter horror after my ad blocker stopped working, Monsanto ads on PS of all places that that place is no longer the place for me.

This place seems to be a true meeting of the minds and I'm very grateful to be a member.

Yes thank you for building this! You may not consider yourself a prepper but i do. My wife, 5 years old daughter, soon to be born daughter, and myself are very into homesteading. We grow over 90 percent of what we eat. We can, we freeze, we butcher, we prep for the winter and into next summer so we can eat our fresh food year round. Basically anyone who farms to feed their families is a prepper in my book. We prep the cold frames, we prep the garden, we prep the goat milk for cheese, we prep the animal house's for birthing, honestly as a farmer i sometimes feel all i do is prep. I think many farmers and homesteaders don't think they are preppers because it is just our way of life buy really we are just living off our preps. Again thank you for building this! It does feel like home! Also thank you very much for excepting all of us PS refugees with open arms, everyone has been so welcoming!

Thank you, Angie, for having us all here. Hopefully the migration from PS will be a smooth one with few if any hiccups or trolls.

Angie, Thanks for setting this fine site up for everyone. I can't wait to deep deeper into it and see what all's in here.

I'm not sure of your location, but assume somewhere in the southeast due to your 2011 tornado reference. We lived thru that as well. Made some changes to our plans due to it.

Like others have mentioned, I have stopped prepping, Like my grandparents and others before them I'm just living life and producing as much of what I need as possible. And trying to learn to do even more.

Thank you Angie for this site

Hi Jim, welcome from Alaska.

 

[hashbrown]

Angie has built a cool place for us, It's more like a family here. I was thinking last night a lot of us here have been conversing together for many years now.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Hi Angie,
Nice to see you again.

 

[Meerkat]

Angie has built a cool place for us, It's more like a family here. I was thinking last night a lot of us here have been conversing together for many years now.

Some of us 10 years and I guess some here more than rhat for me its been 10 or close to it.

 

[Spikedriver]

It's only been a little over three years for me, bit I check in nearly every day. This is my online home, and I like it here. The admins and mods deserve a "well done".

 

[Cascadian]

This is the only forum I belong to thanks for being here.

 

[Weedygarden]

Glad to see this thread come up again. This has been a great forum and it has been great to see it grow. There are some wonderful people here, and some that have been together here and there for around a decade.
