It's amazing what we find we don't actually need to pay for, despite all those commercials... which can't brainwash us if we don't watch the stupid cable TV. :D<br /><br />The MagicJack sounds cool. I would consider it if we needed something to supplement our cell phones (which we use for super cheap by getting in on a family plan with my parents and brother... and not texting). <br /><br />Energy and resource independence is very cool. We are currently stockpiling and chopping wood to burn for the winter in our stove insert. We are also thinking about a wind turbine, one of those horizontal ones you can install on the roof. And a solar hot water heater. <br /><br />Did you know child protective services can take your kids away if you get certain of your utilities shut off? Ridiculous. That sort of thing makes me so mad. But if you have your own source of water/energy/heat/whatever, you're safe. Kind of like, if you enroll your child in a public school, some districts can fine the parents if the child is absent too many days--even if it's for serious illness or another very good reason. To heck with that. We're preparing for our new baby by learning how to provide our own education and some of our own food and energy as well.Jean Michelle Miernikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971882597502010124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268468693840523552.post-161414649798484892010-10-08T14:57:31.835-07:002010-10-08T14:57:31.835-07:00Glenn:
