    That sounds like the best way to be. :)


    I didn't know that tomatoes were to be planted in the fall. I should probably read more about it. It's just that I'm staying busy right now, and winter is right around the corner, so end of March beginning of April seems like a good time for me to start. I'm especially set on growing the heirloom tomatoes, as they're a favorite of mine. Whole Foods sells them, but they're quite expensive. Maybe I should put them in large planters where I can bring them in or out depending on the weather. :) Carrots, Lettuce, Peas, and Radishes sound pretty good too.

    So far I've read through Chapter 7 of "Get Rich Cheating". This is a terrific eye-opening book, it's more of a revealing what's behind the curtain of society. In many areas it's explained bits and pieces of things I've observed but, didn't understand until this book explained it to me!

    Many are for both Fall and Spring, Tomatoes will stop producing when the Temp. is to High ~90* so in the fall if replanted they will produce till the first frost.

    Gardening year round whether for vegetables or for a Bloom year round is sort of an objective. The sound of harrows turning the soil for some reason is a closeness to nature that is hard to describe and almost the reason for having the Garden.

    Man, you got your book fast! The seller I purchased from on Ebay has marked my book as shipped, but on the "my Ebay" purchase list, it says I will receive the package anytime between 09/29/11 - 10/05/11. Most likely, the seller is just giving a longer day out so his buyers will be pleasantly surprised (when they get it sooner). Still, it will probably be about a week before I get mine. :)

    That's good advice, I'll have to remember the 90 degree mark. I think with most vegetables, I'll plant outside in the ground. The tomatoes, I'm going to make big planters for, and grow them in and out doors all year. So fun. :)

    Rebecca, I bought my book off Amazon for $6. With Amazon Prime, I get free two-day shipping.

    I can't buy books off eBay because sellers usually ship books via media mail which is dirt cheap, but is painfully slow and gets lost by the Boston Post Office.

    The Administration is beginning to exert a mild form of political fortitude.

    Something to build on and refine leading into the 2012 elections.

    McConnel and Boehner have stated they will not support any package containing tax increases - the proposition to balance the budget relying entirely at the expense of the middle class is senseless and if handled properly could very well regain the momentum the Democrats allowed to be taken from them during the Summer.

    Agreed. Many book sellers on Ebay use media mail. So far, I haven't personally had any problems getting it...eventually. :)

    So, what is your opinion on Herman Cain's 999 plan?

    Luckily, Rebecca, you don't have tp put up with Boston mail :)

    Herman Cain's 999 plan SOUNDS like a nice proposal. Of course, Congress would never pass it. But I wonder how much revenue it would actually create?

    The stimulus did not work. Democrats ( and company owners ) like Paul Otellini say so. Economic failure is going to be shoveled on the back of the taxpayers, who did not approve of the stimulus. Taxes are going to be raised on a large group of people who already are heavily burdened. Will they go the way of Greece or Iceland ?

    Well, I guess the 9% flat tax rate is just phase 1 for Cain. I found this PDF of Cain's tax plan. What he ultimately wants to do is go to phase 2, which is the "fair tax" where the government is mainly funded by taxing all retail sales (instead of taxing income).

    It will be interesting whether this will culminate in an appropriate rebuttal by the Federal Reserve. Or for the Federal Reserve critics (Haters) their moment of glory they erroneously have sought.

    It might be noted that McConnell and Kyl are minority representatives of their institutions and do not have standing to issue such a letter on their own - presumably doing so in accordance to the House.

    The Federal Reserve is an independent Institution and what the Republicans are trying to do is wholly without merit.

    Could the Republicans by actually believing their misconstrued rhetoric be impaling themselves on their own swards.....?

    Well, it looks well thought out. But I wonder exactly how much revenue it would generate for the government?

    We all know Goldman Sachs has inside men to the Fed at their New York branch. I mean why doesn't the US government just borrow treasury bonds directly from the treasury department? Why are they buying them off the banks, so the banks can add a margin, and further yet rip off the American people.

    Running a global economy off perpetual debt is a fundamentally flawed concept too. Arguably a fraudulent monetary system. Centralization of power is the key issue and the banks and out to grab as much as possible. Maybe all these Illuminati conspiracy nut jobs are starting to look right after all.

    I did not know that. If you have something for me to read on it, please post it. Why do we even have the Federal Reserve (Central Bank ) when our own laws make it legal for Congress to do the printing of money? 1913 seems to be the answer to that with the inclusion of the federal reserve act. Ron Paul seeks to audit the "Fed" and eventually do away with it.

    Once removed from your land because of the ideals defended and fought for by your founding fathers, the British Empire and the money changers who control it vowed to take the United States back by any means. Expectedly, over the many years decadence of the American citizenry, detaching the inalienable rights bestowed upon them from importance, would allow an opportunity of entry for the elite.

    The constitution states that:
