Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

Okay. It's really on. This it what I'm talkin' about. One person, not so much. Three or four crazies, it's a Happening. Or maybe we'll call it A Happening.

 

Cheryl, I'm with you. All the way. Fub'em. Run off and just have fun in the Yucatan. Don't allow those worries to spoil you vacation. Okay?

I've often wondered, can you still buy those awesome multi colored string hammocks in Central America for a low price? I'm thinking that you could move a bunch of them to the tourists and the locals in ritzy Myrtle Beach before the Summer fades away. I'd buy an extra-large turquoise and white one and pay the shipping. What would the retail price to me be.? Ranger does retail. Maybe you could front him a few and he could move those while you're still in the Yucatan and you could earn more money to buy a larger number of them to bring home with you. Expand.

There's nothing like working for yourself. Why look for a job when you come home? Especially in a bad job market. Seriously.

Wishing you a positive and great future. You go girl! Have the Best Vacation Ever.

How is it that somebody from Ascension seems to have lived with half of the people here? Is there something cosmic going on here?

 

Hi Kenny.. Not to sure if Cheryl will find the inexpensive ones in the Yucutan as the area has become very touristy since the early 70s/late 60s but I did find them REAL CHEAP from Peru and was told even Panama still has them in big numbers for good prices. I bought 5 of them for the place I have on Molokai. Have kept two of them and gave the other three away. I paid less than 15 bucks for them ( I gave the guy who got them 100 bucks tho as that made him happy to do it).

The problem I have is getting him to be able to ship them now!!! He was comming up here when he brought me mine. To send them he told me would be a huge hassel and cost a bunch?? But anyway I know that in some places they still exist and I can say they are well worth it if you can find them.!!!!! Cheryl I wish you good hunting in the Yucutan!! Chitsunesa(I spell like crap) is one of the very cool Maya sites you gotta go see!!!

peace and love to all

Cosmic? Indeed it is my brother. This is a magical time for us. We seem to be popping here. Just look at the energy that is spinning around us, you can virtually reach out and feel it, you can breath it into your lungs and catch a buzz from it.

IDK if everyone is feeling it as strong as I do, but as more and more of us unite the more it fills you up with Love Love Love. The kind of Love that makes your heart race and your eyes widen, makes you draw your breath in a shudder of emotional speldor.

Like Coming Home after a long journey, weary and hungry for what is real and lasting. The laughter and tears, the huge grins that cover the faces of us as we remember that Love that has bound us together in Brotherhood and Light.

We can accomplish whatever needs accmplished. We still have time to get something together by 2012, as Cheryl sugested a few pages back. It sounds like a concert is brewing, how cool that would be. The Panhandle would be the most perfect place to have such an event, I mean after all, that's where it all happened at. It holds a lot of our energies and would greet us well.

We could get a permit to set up vendor tents, a kitchen and whatever else we may need. Have a 70's Faire! How exciting.. but I wonder if restrictions would prohibit such an affair.. maybe they would let us do it for old time sake. It would be our testimony and perhaps start the flame of burning Love in the hearts of mankind once again. Details, details, details.

Hey Kenny,
I saw this about that and thought you may wanna see it too
www.hammock-company.com/mayan-hammocks.asp

 

Tillerwah. Shameless Heifer. The people in my family are the greatest! If you each read each other's notes regarding hammocks and look at the both as just one piece of information together, then you will very clearly see exactly what I was trying to spell out to our sister Cheryl. Only, you two explained it way way better! And you both showed the money part of it all.

Cheryl
This is what I'm trying to say about Working for yourself. Our sister and brother have the facts.
Shameless Heifer is sayin', "Hey Kenny,
I saw this about that and thought you may wanna see it too
www.hammock-company.com/mayan-hammocks.asp ."
Here these folk are retailing what they buy for $60, $80, and $90.

Cheryl could sell hammocks for $20. less and have everyone in the U.S. coming to her.

Tillerwah explains the buying cost and it sounds to me like it just might be well worth the hassle and the price of the shipping costs.

Well my next question would be, "How much is a bunch?"
If you could get 5 hammocks for $15, then somebody's idea of a bunch might be $5 or something like that. Whereas if you sold the 5 hammocks for as little as $40 that would be $200 minus your original $20 costs.

Living in a resort area me or Cheryl could sell hammocks all day every day just walking down the street.

I want to thank you two for helping me to try to help Cheryl. You're both so cool. This could work for her and the job market is the shits. Thanks family.

All ya need is Love.

 

WHOA Kenny they were 15 dollars EACH but still a GREAT price at 15 bucks. That is why I gave him the 100 dollars since the cost for 5 was 75 bucks for 5 of them!. I gladly gave him 25 bucks for bringing them on the plane!! BUT as you say they can EAISLY sell for way more than 15 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

actually I think like 14.50 U.S. Dollars lol

 

for each but in bulk maybe get a better deal! With internet maybe can find out?? Even tho my friend came back from Peru with them, I was told Panama still had them cheap??? They are was nice tho!!! Mark Widre is the guy I got them from not to sure if any of you know/knew Mark>///?? We go way back all the way to when I left High School. Mark was living in Panama back in the early 70s as he left the States after Woodstock for Central Amero

 

Cool!

So, was this is Panama, or Peru, or Costa Rica. If you could hook me up with your friend we could figure out the hassle part and see if it's worth the trouble. Where was this place. I could move there and sell them from my own web site and ship singles out. I'm looking for another country to move to in 2012, if Sarah Palin wins, anyhow.

Speaking of Hawaii, would you ask Ranger to tell you all about the bale of endless silk kimonos that we bought from some one in Hawaii, at one time. I'd love to do that one again. Ranger, Rita and also Dovora do retail. Maybe we could supply them.
Ranger
Please Ranger, tell him the tale.

 

Ranger. We can both see that you are on line here.

 

Think how cheap they must be to make.. wonder if Cheryl has ever done any weaving?? Hey Cheryl do you weave?? I bet you could take a few classes in weaving and set yourself up on the beach with your loom and start gettin after it..

 

Hi Kenny Mark picked them up in Peru BUT he had just left Panama about three weeks before he went up to the High Andes. When he called me and asked me if I wanted him to pick them up he told me about how cheap they were in PERU and that they were also CHEAP and abundant in Panama!! He had helped me re-rebuild my place in Halawa Valley on Molokai'. He knew we needed hammocks so he did not want to return Stateside without bringing me them. I actually think they are even cheaper in Panama/Panama City as there is a LOt OF PEOPLE who make stuff and have access to loads of inexpensive materials there due to the passage of so much stuff through the Canal!! People have many cottage industrys there made for export and the Hammocks are easy to make once you have the weave down I suppose. I would just google Wholesale Hamocks from Panama...I think I will do that when I sign off here!!

take care all
Peace and Love

Me, myself has always wanted a loom, have asked hubby a few times to make me one.. I suppose it's on his list.. seems all the 'honey dos' always stay at the bottom of the list tho..

I don't recall where we got the bales of silk, but maybe Pooh or Devorah do.
Shameless,
If i'm guessing right the weaving of hammocks is more akin to the weaving of shrimpers nets. Way back when I was nine or so we lived on an island on the outh Carolina coast and I hung around the docks some. I don't really recall seeing anyone make a whole net, but they were always repairing them by hand and I saw no looms i9nvolved, It seemed more like macramae (sp?) than loom work. Maybe Cheryl can vist the docks and get some ideas.

 

Silk Kimonos and hammocks.

The million kimonos. I thought it was you, Ranger, who found a small ad in the newspaper with a picture. Maybe Pooh. Anyhow, the story goes that these folks in Hawaii were reselling old used silk kimonos. It seems that everyone in Tokyo wants only the newest kimonos. Old ones, especially antique ones get thrown out or "Good Willed." These folks in Hawaii had a source and were selling 20 pound compressed bales for a certain amount. I think Ranger sent them a check. Two weeks later this package arrives. Like 1 and a half feet by 2 feet by 1 foot high. When we opened it it poofed up and out. We started to pull kimonos out of this package and it seemed to never end. Like a magician pulling endless tied together silk scarves out of his sleeve.

The whole large living room ended up full of silk kimonos. We were doing the Marin City flea market back then. The best of the kimonos sold fast and at high prices. We were still selling kimonos three months later. Every women in Marin County had a new fashion statement. Silk Kimonos.

I'd love to do that one again.

In making hammocks.
The string hammocks that they make in Guatemala, yes they do those by hand, not a loom. I think that it was Devora that told me years ago that if you bought the same balls of colored string here in the U.S. from a craft store it would cost you more than the price of a retail hammock here in the U.S. And the time and the labor would make doing it for a living way not worth your time.

They hand make them buy tying the ends of a bunch of string into a big loop for one end of the hammock. each string is rolled on a stick (bobbin). They start from one side and twist each pair of strings a half turn around each other, making a net. It's not really weaving. It's more like just braiding. Have Fun.

Thanks Y'all Kenny

 

ok hammocks good say 1000 dollars will read soon kinda got to call mf got a cold will be back soon oh there a town outside merida that the whole town weaves hammocks i think shipping buy boat is cheaper will read all ya alls input in the next day or so school starts monday so its been hectic here love ya all

 

I think the cheapest shipping may be via New Orleans. There is a ferry run from there to Belize and maybe points south. It wouldn't be all that far from Nailscakes. BTW Cheryl could make as much or more selling fossil sharks teeth in the larger sizes.

 

I can get to the gulf innabout 6 hrs from where I am. I can haul stuff too, as long as it fits in the back of my blazer. It's roomy with the back seats down. It also has a rack on top for more storage <3 I got ppl here that are from Belize, if I can sober them up enough I'll asks some questions, I'm sure they have at least 5 cousins each that can handle whatever we need.. anything in particular I should be asking.. I am also a retailer w/tax # btw. I have beaded necklaces/earrings/bracelets and willing to send if there is a market.. I know we all have something we do, our work, that we can stock the outlet with. Are we getting an outlet ?!?.. man we can fly with just a tought cant we.. what energy we have.. look at us old timers reignite the universe. All we need is a spark and it catches like wildfire.

Peace and Love

A resort area would be perfect for retailing goods

 

Yep Megaladon teeth are abundant in parts of Gulf of Mexico!!

Now they make great necklaces too!!!

Peace and love
