    Ha! So my friend/landlord talked with her yard guy today. She was excitedly telling me how Jerry had some property up in Goldendale and was going to start a commune. I couldn't help it. It just came bursting outa my mouth...
    "You mean Jerry, who proudly wears his MAGA hat? You couldn't PAY me to live on his property!"

    Oops.

    If you're asking, I'll tell you this. As long as we all pull our share, I can live just about anywhere.

    I guess 8.25 acres is "close" to an acre.... [​IMG]

    OK, since 2015 I have been living in a house owned by my family. I've done all the grounds keeping and half the repairs. I can't lift heavy stuff alone so some work I hire a repair guy for it. I did most pf the plumbing but hired a plumber who had a slick soldering gun which took care of the copper pipe in two minutes. It was under the sink and would have been an all day job for me to solder it. I can do dry wall and paint but would leave the carpet to some young buck who can lift. Remember, living with others is more than just the work load. It's also about getting along and not starting a fight over which TV show to watch.

    Dude, I seem to remember a few years ago you told me it was under an acre? Must have been a typo or my mind just skimmed over that?

    OK, we have two people solid on this and maybe Snowtigger could be convinced to come east? He lives in North Dakota.

    Stop making fun of my age. Half of what I remember is half off. And you aren't that much younger than me Mister T. I remember on another music thread you remembered High Tide and Green Grass by the Stones.

    I could live on a commune where we all were working to keep us fed and comfortable, and where sex was shared freely, openly and frequently. Ideally where we could grow weed or at least keep a supply on hand. Maga appreciation would be fine, too.

    That was the Rajneesh Puram commune in Antelope Oregon. It was not a commune. It was a money collecting operation where the Hindu preacher got enough to buy 50 Rolls Royce high dollar cars.

    I seem to think you said that when you said you was not a lawyer. We've been on here many years. I'm sure you have lots of grey hair too.

    Great
    There is a great documentary on Netflix about Antelope. Called "Wild, Wild Country" . When their little group decided to poison the neighboring town of The Dalles over an ELECTION, it was the worst bio-terror attack in our nation. I believe it still is but not sure.

    I don't remember the election problem but do remember that leader having 50 expensive cars … more than Jim and Tammy Bakker. We should have laws against rip-off artist preachers. While you are on here this morning, I need to know if you can make real Tapioca pudding with real cream and real eggs?
