December 28th, 2005 - Year in Review
From FiberMom who got the idea from Freebeeglee: A year in review takes the first sentence of the first post of each month on this blog. As the first one explains why, I didn’t write in Jan or Feb, so there are only 10 sentences.
Now that my maternity leave is almost over (I’m back part time for a week or two), I’m going to try to get back to this blog.
Karen commented that when her family tried grass-fed beef they didn’t like the taste compared to grain-fed beef.
Sorry I haven’t written much lately. Been busy…..
A perennial issue with living simply is charitable contributions.
Steve Jobs’ Stanford commencement address is wonderful.
And I’m not the one who says so, this time.
The Apple Journal provides Apple Variety Descriptions for just about every apple you can think of and all the ones you never knew existed.
I don’t know if solar electricity will even work well for our house, but I definitely am interested for the future.
Not only does the U of Michigan in Ann Arbor now haveWorms go[ing] to college, turn[ing] dining hall scraps into fertilizer, food but they’ve been composting food waste for years!
EERE Consumer’s Guide: Thermostats and Control Systems is a good reminder of how and why to use a programmable thermostat.
I also learned that the monthly archive pages do NOT include links. I wonder why not? That is, the links indicated above do not appear if you look at the original post in a monthly archive page, only if you look at the post on its own individual page.

that’s becuase both archive pages and search results return partial responses, not entire entries. I HATE that.
but not enough to have actually, as web-host-overlord, to actually figure out how to over-ride it. Haven’t even researched plugins..
well, since y’all wil be upgraded to WP2.0 by the end of the month (NOTE: I am not indicating WHICH month) we’ll cross that bridge at that point.

Hi,
Saw your webblog and really like it. I run a website on Simple and Frugal Living at www.simpleandfrugal.com
Anyway, I amm currently re-vamping the site to also act as a portal for all things on simple living and would like to include a link to your blog.
Let me know if this is ok. And if you know of any other great resources that should be linked let me know. Great information should be available to everyone on the path to a simplier life and I am always more than happy to add links from other resrouces to my site.
Best Regards,

It is interesting to me how varied people’s results are with this game. There have been a couple of folks who have ended up with a coherent paragraph.
