The monks in Thailand got it right. It took over a million bottles to build their temple, including a crematorium, living quarters, and the toilets.

With prices of seemingly everything skyrocketing and an analysis of next year’s family budget, some belt tightening is in order. I thought I would start figuring out now how to stretch a few more dollars. We’re pretty frugal as it is, but there is always room for more.

At least I hope they are happier. I gave them a week’s worth of damp, shredded newspaper to munch on. There was already a huge amount of organic material to eat. What else could they ask for?
You see, we have two compost bins for kitchen composting and fill them with layers of kitchen scraps and [...]

Rather a strange title coming from a Quaker, don’t ya think? It felt rather militaristic to me when I wrote it, but has nothing whatsoever to do with military tactics.
In actuality, it has to do with simplicity and peace, two of the Quaker ideals. In this case, peace of mind and peacefulness in the home, [...]
