cool, will pm you my address, i'll see if I can get one of my cd burners going in a day or two and get you guys some stuff, if not I'm sure I can get Kim to use hers. I'll make sure you guys get some of my music too....did I mention there was a time when I entertained the idea that I could one day be a rock star, that is before I heard mother earth call my name to tend her. This is really cool! -Alan I wish we had some recordings of your celtic and middle eastern stuff (though I know you have to be in a mood to play it). Its really amazing what he can do with a guitar y'all, he makes it sound like more than one instrument, not all of them necessarily a guitar. (Can't tell that I'm biased can ya!! )

LOL...See thats what this thread was about to get y'all chatting some more...
I listen to all kinds of music...Thanks to Alan I've picked up Pink Floyd, Roky Erickson, and some of The Cure. Otherwise, I like The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd (for a little bit...No comments from the peanut gallery...*Cough* Cough* Alan Reed), lots of old country, bluegrass, pop, metal...Etc...you name it, I've listened to it....

For the fun of it, lets all play a game to get to know each other a little bit better. This game works like this...I'll start by asking a question, and answering it about myself. The next person who comes in answers my question, and then posts another question for the next person to answer and so on...
Cheesy I know...But it works.
Sooo...
What is your favorite book/author?
I'm a gothic horror/romance junkie, so I read most anything by Anne Rice, I have all of the Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witch Chronicles...
next...

Homegrown pears sound particularly good right now, if the only fruit tree I could have was a pear, I'd take it! *Cough* PEACHES!

Hello everyone,
Since no one has introduced themselves yet I thought I'd get us started. I'm Kimi, and I'm Alan's girlfriend, we've been together nearly a year now. I have several hobbies, reading (Anne Rice and JK Rowling, yes...I'm a dork), writing poetry and sometimes short stories, helping Alan with the business and learning absolutely every thing that I can about it. I also like to hike, fish, go camping...and a lot of other stuff too.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning all that you have to teach us! ;D

Out at our old house we had a little pond...With a HUGE family of bull frogs. One of them had been there for as long as my parents owned the land. Anyway, these frogs were HUGE...They looked like giant cowpies hopping across the pond. Anyway...One night I noticed it had gotten quieter and asked Mom and Dad about it. We we went over to my grandma's (she lived right across the highway from us) and as per usual she was sitting in her kitchen listening to the CB and her neighbors were bragging about having frog legs for supper. I don't know how they managed to get over there with out waking our dogs up (at the time my Dad was a Raccoon hunter) but they did. The only one of the big frogs that survived was the one that had been there since my parents bought the land. I think they called him Hermie...I think...
As for noodling...I don't have to go hunting for turtles...I just wait till it rains real hard and they end up in my front yard. And there've been some doozies that have had to be scooted back down to the creek.

Alan, we can always go over to Kevin's during the evenings, there's a security light right by the pond, certainly wouldn't be the first time I've fished in that pond after dark.
I think if I came upon a lake that was frozen so solid that fish were frozen in it, I would go out there and try to chip them out to...Aint nothin' wrong with 'em if they're frozen.lol! No reason to let it go to waste. Thats a really neat story downinmyback!

Worm rangling is sort of an art form. You really have to pay attention to what you're doing, and as long as you keep things balanced in you bin, the only smell you have is that of freshly turned over soil. I learn something new every day I help Alan with them...Like how to MANUALLY harvest of them out of the bins. You have to be really careful not to mix their food in with their bedding. Or they'll get to hot. I knew the latter part of that statement. But it didn't occur to me to pull the bedding from the far side of the bin to the side where the food is, so that there is as little mixing as possible.

We harvested a lot of castings this week. I think something like 27 five gallon buckets from three bins, and yesterday he harvested like 10 more or some from the other bins. It smells funny, but it makes the soil pretty.

People don't know what to do with themselves considering you are the only worm breeder in Pekin...They're happy they don't have to go to Salem or Borden to get worms....

formulamaster.com/herbs.htmI didn't know whether to post it here or in the Country Cabinet...But I thought it useful to share. It has A LOT of different plants, herbs, roots, etc in it.

We, well Alan, found about 7 of them yesterday...If the sun comes out tomorrow there may be a few more. I was there, I meandered through the woods with him, but I didn't find any...
