Feel free to email them. I told them I shop elsewhere and would not support a business that supported Rush and his un Ameriican views.

Satisfying. Also sent an email to my R congressmen. Voiced my displeasure with his vote the other day.

Welcome and thanks for Newseum site! I will be sure to check it out.

Ahem, I THINK what might have gotten your post off to an uncomfortable start was the ‘tag’ you inadvertently must have hauled along too from that site. LOL Reminds me of once dragging a string of toilet paper, caught in my pantyhose, while getting to my seat in church:
“——————————————————————————–

AKM gets so many folks trying to sneakily snag people over to their OWN blogs, there’s a tendency to be wary. Sorry, you ran into the mishap, I look forward to seeing more posts from you.

All the others said “Delivered”. They were all mailed same time on Monday,Jan26th by 5:15pm. All large Flatrate boxes. New price is now $13.95each for everyone’s info). Didn’t insure, just paid 65cents each for Confirmation, so that I could track them. Arrived today Thursday,Jan29th by 1:14pm.

So those Flatrate priority mail boxes are getting there fast! Unlike the 1-2 wk lag times people talked that we should be expecting.

YAY for “me and my volunteers (hee hee cousins and aunt) 4 hours to sort, inventory, and fill boxes”. Glad you’re not having to do it by yourself, I knew there would be willing volunteers! That’s a LOT of wonderful WORK!

He didn’t start using his “Nighthorse” name for quite a few years after that — resurrecting the name when he started his political career. I mean, what I remember of him, he was just a large fast-moving athlete in a “niche” sport.

Sorta like someone who plays up the “hockey mom/maverick” title, he played up his Indian heritage to separate his persona from the political pack. Actually, I remember when he entered politics he touted his judo training as part of that exotica, too.

GREAT post! I’m an Alaskan who has only visited Southeast villages, and I learn constantly from these posts. I just wonder at the folks who open mouth and insert foot, as though in ten minutes they have figured out all the factors of a lifestyle like yours? I think they just want to see their comment in writing as a sort of graffiti, rather than a thoughtful response. It’s one of the oddities of the “blogoshphere” and its anonymous nature. Sometimes people just need to wait FIVE MINUTES or so before they post as a mini expert on a topic they are clueless about. Why not more questions about your lifestyle rather than judgments?

It was a wonderful day!!! We gave food to 30 families!!! It took me and my volunteers (hee hee cousins and aunt) 4 hours to sort, inventory, and fill boxes and deliver them to those who couldn’t come and get them. I am on a food drive/giving HIGH right now LOL. I am soooo proud of all of you muddflatters and others for making it possible for us to help my village

He started an unofficial Sarah-Palin-for-VP blog in March 2007, and apparently a number of conservative columnists and pundits picked up on it as the months went on. It’s quite educational — so are some of the comments that accompany each blog entry.

What makes it so valuable from our POV is that it has a huge number of linked articles and references that answer some of OUR questions, as well as those for whom the blog was intended…

Check it out in your spare time.

I sat here pecking away at my laptop with my response until my husband said that I needed to step away from the computer (he is worried about my gaskets or blowing gaskets) and something about steam in my ears….
Here is my response…

cereal, you are a total and complete moron.

ALL YOU OTHER BONEHEADS…..
Do you suppose that this person hopped on the snow snowmacine and drove 25 miles to Kroger? King Supers, the A&P.
Safeway?

Give me a break they went to a village store. Let me see what is it you suppose they stock in that store, do you imagine that there are just rows and rows of groceries and produce. How naive of you.
We are talking about a store the size of your local blockbusters. Not only does that store carry food but also, OTC meds, bath and first aid products, cleaning, laundry and some hardware supplies.
There is a very small selection of products, and it is very difficult and expensive to ship and store perishable products. And in these village stores when fresh stuff does come in the quality is poor cost high but still don’t last long on the shelves. And of course most of you seem to have no idea what so ever that, you are transporting products that will freeze long before you get it home. I could go on and on but I will move on.

I bake 70% of the bread and even pasta we eat. But let’s just consider what it takes to make that bread, like take your baking source, be it propane stove/oven, or oil stove/oven, woodstove. (Woodstove ovens very expensive). Just so you know propane freezes at about -35 to -40 degrees. You will not be baking anything at those temps. Most people do use propane but remember that is also expensive and hard to transport. Electric stoves NO WAY if you think fuel is expensive well you would just love one of the electric bills from a utility that has paid $ 9.00 a gallon for diesel fuel.

Oh and I love the one about lets all be gardeners, hahahah, I am a gardener myself, I happen to live in an area that is somewhat conductive to growing certain things. But I would like some of you to Google this word. “PERMAFROST” and when you’re done educating yourselves with that one, try learning about TUNDRA, ARCTIC, CLIMATE, AGRICULTURE ZONES, and just so I am sure you understand this,
IT IS WINTER HERE THERE IS VERY LITTLE SUNLIGHT! Now for you naysayers who believe that say well geeze you also have the MIDNIGHT SUN for a few months well let me ask you to refer back to goggled word “PERMAFROST”.
And lastly HOW THE HELL MUCH STUFF DO YOU SUPOSE THAT I CAN STORE IN MY 20 X 30 CABIN.
