Here is a basic drawing of my heated/raised planter box for growing tropic plants in colder climates.

The Purpose of Government Issued Money
What is the purpose of government issued money?
Is it to make our lives easier?
Is it to increase trade among citizens?
Is it to make it easier for the government to take possession of your hard earned fortune?
All of the above, but think about it for a moment. Could you live without printed money? Absolutely! Humans lived on earth for thousands of years before money was invented. If you wanted something another person had, you traded something that person considered was of equal or higher value. For example if your neighbor had chickens and you wanted some of the eggs, you traded something from your garden for them or you worked for that neighbor until you payed your debt. The problem with this process of trade is that the government can't get its cut.
So if you were the government the solution is to create a worthless piece of paper and tell people it has the same value as a real product. When you convince everyone that it is of value the government, can take a little bit of every sale you make and therefore they become wealthy as you become wealthy. It also gives them unlimited wealth when they can print more money anytime they like. Can you eat money and provide nourishment for yourself and your family with it? No, but if you find another sucker who believes money has value you can trade your money for something else.
Real money is not printed paper, and real wealth is not money. Real money is something that provides nourishment and/or happiness and real wealth is a surplus of happiness. We all know at some point our lives are going to end. Why does it take people so long to learn that ultimately a good life is measured by the happiness you experience and the happiness you bring into the lives of others.
The only reason we really need printed money, is so we can pay taxes.
Money, Real Money is not printed. What would happen if people all around the world stopped using printed money?
So what if you're unemployed and out of cash, you still have money as long as you can provide a service or you have some type of possession. You don't need a worthless piece of paper. Come on people wake up!

The Secret about Government and Life
I feel a definite need to speak on this subject because so many people close to me are going through tough times.
Our perceptions of what life should be are molded by the society we live in.
Our parents, peers and government all play a role in shaping the thoughts in our minds and the pictures of normality that cross our minds in any given situation.
Stop for a minute and think about the things you need to survive.
1. Air
2. Water
3. Food
4. Shelter
5. Joy in your life
Never once did I say, wealth, car, house, boat, large yard, fancy dinning, fancy clothes etc.
In the right conditions you could live a totally happy and long life with no clothing at all. I think maybe Adam and Eve did just that.
So remember the world changes everyday, there are some things you need and there are some things you would like to have but when the end comes around the only thing that will matter is the joy you had on the journey that got you there.
Change your perceptions, use your mind, do what you think is right, and enjoy the journey. Time is running out.
The governments and society can only try to make you think a certain way, all choices are yours. Some choices have dire consequences and others great rewards but we all choose the path we follow. Our journeys are never the same for everyone but rest assured your choices shape the road ahead.
Live Life Well
God Bless us all

A Man's Guide for Understanding Women
I'll try to keep this simple because nobody needs an overcomplicated answer to a simple problem.
Women are like flowers.
When a man first sees a beautiful flower he has an urge to pick it.
Some flowers have thorns.
Some blossom only for a short time while others blossom repeatedly.
Some smell wonderful and some not so wonderful.
One thing all flowers (women) have in common, is that if you pick them and stuff them in a vase (house) neither will last long without attention from someone.
If you bring home the flower with the complete plant including the roots and you transplant it; it will probably grow and stay healthy and bring you joy for a long time to come.
If you give that plant (women) a safe environment with good nourishment, and regular attention you will keep it happy and it will return the favor in most cases.
If you take that flower home and don't do anything with it but smell its sweet perfume every night at bed time; eventually it will wither and die just like the relationship between a man and his better half.
Relationships are about caring for each other and being involved with each other. It's not just about sex and one person getting everything in life the way they want it. They are about compromises and working things out to bring joy into both of your lives. Women need regular attention just like plants and kids do.
Many an unsatisfied women has left her man because although he works long hours and tries hard to make lots of money and buy her many things, she just gets tired of living alone because he is always gone and spends so little time with her each day.
So in the simplest terms possible.
If you love your women, spend time with her and show her.
Give her a safe environment she can grow and be happy in.
Talk and listen to her, and understand that sometimes we all have to compromise.
LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T BE A FOOL AND MISS OUT ON THE BEST PARTS!

Census Could be Tampered With!!!!!!
I just completed my census survey and nowhere on the census did I find a last person, check mark to indicate that the rest of the blank entries were to be left blank. Do you understand what I'm saying? If someone wanted to add more minorities to my census after I finished it, all they have to do is complete the remaining blank entries with whatever info they wanted to put in them.
Would this be a problem if I had any faith in the people conducting this survey to do their job honestly? NO, but I don't have any faith after all the lies I hear on a daily basis.
Why would a national survey of such importance have such an serious flaw that it would allow such an easy means for someone to tamper with it? Why?
Surely only the brightest people available created this survey, and they surely placed a great deal of emphasis on making sure it was tamper proof. Didn't they?
What could they possibly have to gain by making false entries and changing the data?

Health Care, Constitiutional or Not?
I really don't think it is, but rather than give up on health care why can’t we have public health care passed by the STATE level? If we really need it that bad, it should be passed by the state governments at the state level.
That way if we the people decide we don’t like it; it can be changed at the state level to suit the people it is created for or pitched in the trash if the people say it’s garbage.
I wouldn’t mind giving it a try at the state level, so long as my representatives read and are held accountable for what is in it.
At the state level, it would either be paid for, or it would be shut down after the state went broke. Also the criminals would be found out and outed before they fleeced the people.
The state can’t just print more money and devalue the dollar/create inflation like the Federal Gov. can.
Either way we would find out if it works or not and still have a viable option to get rid of it if it doesn’t work.
If we the people decide we like it at the state level, we can make sure it’s funded. Unlike the Federal Government option of shoving it down our throats.
As an added benefit the Fed. Gov. wouldn’t have to worry so much about the imminent puking, bloated feeling and the sudden urge to shat that is often associated with forced feedings. Nobody in their right mind wants to see the after affects of the forced feeding of the American people after the cupboards are bare and there is nothing left to sustain us.
It’s unfortunate more people don’t have better foresight. My daddy always said, “that wonderful NAFTA bill will ruin this country” and nobody would listen. He always said, “just wait till nobody has a job and no one has any skills to create or build. Then maybe people will see how bad it really is.”
I guess there may just be too many greedy short sited fools in this country. Maybe they quit teaching the story about the goose that laid the golden eggs.
God please save us from the greedy, short sited fools, controlling our government.
