Recommended farm blogs are asked to send a brief email (to info AT ianwalthew.com) about their farm/smallholding and their blog, and to include their own recommended farm blogs. I then make a posting. If it gets any more complicated that that, then....well, the idea is that it doesn't get much more complicated than that.<BR/><BR/>I would very much appreciate it if you could please consider: <BR/> <BR/>a) sending me some text about your blog and activities (including acreage and crops/livestock/fibres etc. to help like minded souls find you. <BR/><BR/>b) writing to me with your (up to) Top 5 farm recommendations - not currently listed on my blog; particularly from countries not yet represented or under represented. I am particularly interested in blogs from the UK, New Zealand, South America, Asia and Africa at the moment. The proper name of the blog, the exact url, the location and one sentence on why you like it is perfect, but if pressed for time, just the links. U.S blogs are fine, but we have a lot and I am trying really hard to find good bloggers in different parts of the world, but if your list is all-American, no drama.<BR/> <BR/>c) send me permission to use up to 5 photos from your site for a one off usage so that with your text I can make a posting about you; <BR/> <BR/>d) add a link on your website, if that's possible, to www.farmblogs.blogspot.com; and if you can find a moment even make a posting about www.farmblogs.blogspot.com and how this blog is growing organically across the world from other farming bloggers. (Because you have been recommended in this way you are on the blog roll for the U.S.A.)<BR/> <BR/>I know this is a drag but a lot of people are finding that my blog is driving traffic to them and are finding it a great source of quality blogs about farming so I hope you can find a moment to drop me a line.<BR/> <BR/>I very much hope to hear from you, and thanks for taking the time to read and respond to this. When you do I'll get you up and running as soon as possible.<BR/> <BR/>With kind regards,<BR/> <BR/>Ian<BR/> <BR/>www.farmblogs.blogspot.com<BR/>www.ianwalthew.comIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857867583072689277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-45211424769390465112009-02-16T16:14:00.000-06:002009-02-16T16:14:00.000-06:00Here is a great tip since the flu season is here, ...Here is a great tip since the flu season is here, and kids are no doubt spreading germs. There is a new program out to teach to young children: Germy Wormy Germ Awareness for Germ Transportation Vehicles ages 2 –7! It is a mom-invented, fun and drug-free way for them to learn how to both avoid AND keep from spreading germs around. Check it out!<BR/> http://www.germywormy.com <BR/>Give kids a PLACE to give their germs to – instead of you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-31096790921298117032009-02-15T20:38:00.000-06:002009-02-15T20:38:00.000-06:00Bullied is a good word for it. And there is a lo...Bullied is a good word for it. And there is a lot of it. If we had more employers do right by their employees, we'd have fewer people begging for the government to step in for them. Of course, the end result of that is loss of more freedom.<BR/><BR/>I've wondered about some of these layoffs lately. When my husband worked at the headquarters of a big company they would hear rumors about things going bad and they might have to let some people go. Then you'd hear a few more rumors. When the ground was laid, the layoffs would start. But the odd thing was, the layoffs seemed to target people in poorer health, people closer to retirement, etc. Seemed like they were just cleaning house. Of course the stock always went up right after that. Shareholders love layoffs.<BR/><BR/>Wish it were as simple as snapping our fingers and everything would get back in order, but it's not going to happen. It's a mess our there. Nothing new in the history of civilizations. What makes it so dangerous at this particular time is that so many nations are in essentially the same place. You might enjoy this book, Man Is Not Enough. Does a good job of tracing the fall the major world civilizations compared to the first chapter of Romans, then compares the condition of America to the pattern repeated in all the previous groups. We don't have much further to go. And he doesn't blame the women, either.<BR/>http://www.bravegoodmen.org/books.asp<BR/>Amazon has some used copies:<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Man-not-enough-Americas-opportunity/dp/0966818105/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234751610&sr=8-1<BR/>Nice visiting with you.

Thank you so much!!!<BR/>You know I have seen Christians hash over this subject and it turn down right ugly!<BR/><BR/>You have done much research and that is a real blessing.<BR/>Many doctors who administer those vaccines don't even know what's in them at times. :-(<BR/><BR/>There is this commercial that's constantly played on TV that gets our feathers ruffled. It's about getting your baby at 2 mo. , 4 mo. 6 mo., 8 mo. 12 mo, and so forth vaccinated!<BR/>Those poor babies bodies are not even developed and they want to pump all kinds of junk into their bodies?????<BR/><BR/>Oh I am so agree with you 100% that if adults and or children are sick...STAY HOME!!!<BR/><BR/>I hate going to Wal-Mart and some goon in hacking all over the aisle, the aisle I need to get in and they don't even cover their mouth!<BR/>I refuse to go down that aisle even though everyone else does, but sorry, I don't need whatever they have.<BR/>I hate that!!! Where are the manners??? If one must be out for whatever reason, take a hankie along and cough into that, but quit coughing on the food I want to buy!<BR/><BR/>Yes that is a big pet peeve of mine.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you and the family have a wonderfully blessed week ahead. Let's glorify the awesome name of the LORD together!!!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654860196914688135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-23383868166180446132009-02-15T19:06:00.000-06:002009-02-15T19:06:00.000-06:00I don't fault some at all for doing what they have...I don't fault some at all for doing what they have to do. But by and large, most do it because they don't want to stay home with a sick child, or they don't want them to miss the school day, or they don't want to miss lunch with friends or whatever. Families don't come first anymore. People have been bullied into believing they have to go to work day in and day out like drones, no matter what happens. If you aren't any more valuable than that to your company, you might need to look at a new job.<BR/>DeannaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-75148873890958710582009-02-15T16:40:00.000-06:002009-02-15T16:40:00.000-06:00I hurt for all the single mothers out there who kn...I hurt for all the single mothers out there who know they have to go to work when their kids are sick or they risk losing their jobs and their ability to feed their families. They send the kids to school sick, and everybody shares the germs. The break-up of families hurts all of us in so many ways. There is just no end to it. So much hurt. When we took our older son out of public school he finally stayed well and started gaining weight. Before that he had at least three major illnesses every year and didn't even gain weight for two years.MyBulletinBoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961091298654325887noreply@blogger.com
