Since I've been gone!

[tloonya]

Well, hello everyone.
I am back from unwanted but much needed 'vacation' moonbeam provided for me (had not cost me a penny btw...) so I am sure you are all dying to know what I had been doing and boy! I have story to tell.

On the 6th of June we were approved by USDA as fully fledged organic farm and gotten permission to except dream of our lifes FMNP checks. FMNP is Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

We were told that ladies who are receiving WIC program are eligible for $20 per person in the family so 1 family can be getting $100 worth and more checks. So we are getting ready to be swamped in a few weeks when  PA veggies are going to start coming out in full speed!

Also biggest competition closing his store, not by choice, there some code violation like rats running around and appartment next to the store is complaining and stuff...

So tell me how are YOUs...

I am thrilled that it is seems like it, however I hate my today's life.

I wish someone had done something about it and threw me back into corporate world where I could hate my job in a privacy of my cozy cubicle and write some reports and spend half of my time talking to you here (as I had done it before) and having health insurance at nearly no cost with best coverage and free coffee and all...

However unlike a lot of others I am taking what I have at the present moment and trying to do the best I can with tools I've got instead of bitching about 'what I deserve'.

Good job planting those rats in his store. I told you it would work.

I'm getting mixed messages.  Anyone else?

It WAS worth it! Shitting pants while transporting those creatures doesn't seem like a biggie anymore ...

[tloonya]

Rocky,
are you saying you don't know how to except mixed messages?
You just read them as regular messages, easy peasy plain and squeezy!

[Rocky Mtn Saver]

I can both accept and except mixed messages. 

ETA:  Which is by itself a mixed message!

Rocky, let's be real here. This is as good as it gets right now. Wait until the cucumbers start creeping, the potatoes are popping and the zucchini are zinging all over the TLoony farm. She'll be busier than a one-armed roofer after a hurricane. If you think nothing makes sense now, just wait.

Sounds like thing are coming up....veggies....for you, Loony.  Congrats and the best of wishes on your new agricultural endeavor!

"easy peasy plain and squeezy!" Now here's fun phrase I'm going to steal!  Sure wish I had your creativity!

Thanks for the udpate and I'm anxious to hear how your first crop does.  Welcome back!

[NancysSummerSip]

"easy peasy plain and squeezy!" Now here's fun phrase I'm going to steal!

Loony can use that phrase to sell her produce; and if some of them are not quite up to par and cannot be sold whole, she can juice them and sell fresh fruit and veggie juices.

Sometimes Nancy you are so funny almost like me...wanna do the show together?

FlorAndDelphia show. Keep up with Toasty and Loony! And GYL for beautification purposes...

I for one am looking forward to hearing about selling stuff when it matures.

I thought you were supposed to sell only mint condition produce?

Why oldtex, are you doubting me with everyone?

I just don't know how to prove that I can do ANYTHING! I had done so much so far and some are still doubting me...unreal people

I believe in you, Loony!

I forgot to plant mint!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NancysSummerSip]

Well, the fresh produce has to be in mint condition to sell it whole. People want to see perfection. The less-than-perfect stuff can be sold for less money (labeled as "Extra Mature," "Very, Very Ripe" rather than the often-used phrase "Day Old") or it can be juiced. Fresh, cold fruit and vegetable juices are always big sellers.

Loony, FYI: you can pick up a good juicer for a fairly good price. Check Craigslist or a wholesale restaurant supply store.

I think she has a thigh-roid problem.

[Deleted]

she needs some fat free water or something....

[Deleted]

Yea, I think she got some problem there. 

[tloonya]

Recess is over!
Back to me, please.
I bet this woman wouldn't be looking like that if she ate more Loony's veggies and frukts! Riiiiiiiiiiiight?

[Peace Of Mind]

Welcome back, Loony!  What did you do this time? 

Do you need rain for your farm project?  We have tons here if you do.  We are getting soaked as I type!

[NancysSummerSip]

That woman looks like she'd better knock off the cheese for awhile. Come to think of it, maybe she should knock off everything for awhile, and go work in TLoony's fields.
