He's contemplating suicide after all those promises he was throwing around.

Exactly what I thought.

No snow in Hendersonville.

That must really suck. One less kid in your house. I would be very bummed if I were you.

Like I said, John Daly is entertaining.

It's similar to the Wal-Mart complex -- it's not easy being the King.

Thanks! I haven't come accross his farm during my searches. The one I've been looking at is B&W Cattle Company in Greenbrier. They also offer all-natural beef, which is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find his number. Thanks again.

Yea, keeping my own garden and rasing chickens probably wouldn't make me the most popular neighbor in the complex. With any luck, I'll be buying a house after the first of the year, so a garden should be workable. Does your friend currently have pork available for sale? Any idea of cuts, prices, etc? I've been able to find a couple farms in or near Sumner County that do beef, and plan on going in on 1/2 cow with a friend of mine. Looks like that will have to wait until they have some available in May. I've also found a couple farms in Sumner County that also do fresh chickens and eggs. Who knows how all this will turn out, but I like the idea of eating meats that haven't been pumped full of antibiotics, hormones and dyes. Plus, helping local farmers can't be a bad thing.

If anyone is interested, I found this helpful site. Local Harvest / Farmers Markets / Family Farms / CSA / Organic Food It lists tons of farms, co-ops, farmers markets, etc in your area. I've been able to find beef, fruits & vegetable, chicken, eggs, lamb, farms very close to Hendersonville. I could only find one all-natural beef farm listed in my area, but if I understand their site correctly, the won't be selling any more beef until May. Being a Yankee, I had no idea they didn't sell beef year-round. That's interesting. There's also a wait on the fruits and vegetable, for obvious reasons.

Congrats! I recently got a Palm Pre. I love it. Enjoy!

I haven't spoken with my mother in about 8 years. The decision would be rather simple for me.

No first-hand experience, but a friend who tried them only lasted 2 months. His main complaints: -Accessing the Internet sucks. -Customer Service was often difficult to reach, and were nearly worthless when you could. He said it would often take upwards of 30 minutes to get someone on the phone. Listening to their broken English was a bigger pain that the crappy service, he said. -Service was not very good in rural areas. -Text messages would often be very slow or never get delivered. -And like someone else mentioned, he quickly got sick of all the ghettoness, like their phones were marketed for 15-year-olds.

Anyone ever shopped at Whole Foods? Any reviews? I would rather buy locally, if possible. I'm more or less trying to see about buying foods that don't contain pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, etc.

Not sure if I can do this long-term, but I'm thinking about trying only organic foods, or as much as I can. Are there any places (stores/farmers/etc) that sell all/mostly organic foods? Fruits, vegetables, beef, chicken, fish, etc?

Congrats!

This documentary really makes me dislike capitalism as we know it. Some of what was in this film I would think is common knowledge, but there was also plenty of startling information, too. Who in their right mind would even consider being a farmer? For those who've not yet seen this documentary, here is the trailer. I watched Food, Inc on On-Demand.

All info has been sent to TGO David. I'm sure he'll update your status as soon as he gets a chance.

Easy as that. Consider it yours. Enjoy!

It's that time again. Same as the first time.

No big deal.

Hippy Lettuce?

Tiger Woods Seriously Injured in Car Crash in Florida - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com Golf great Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident in Florida early Friday morning, according to MyFoxOrlando.com. Woods, 33, is in the hospital in very serious condition after a single-car crash at 2:25 a.m. in which he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The crash is under investigation and charges are pending. Woods pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community when he struck the hydrant, the Orlando Sentinel reported, citing the FHP. He then plowed into the tree on his neighbor's property. He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla. Woods was apparently traveling under 33 mph because the Cadillac Escalade's airbags didn't inflate, the FHP told the Sentinel.
