    What REAL Chicken Eggs Look Like

    I’m back in Kansas City visiting my in-laws for a while and one of the many benefits of doing so is that they get farm-fresh eggs from a friend who raises their own chickens. When making breakfast this morning I realized that many of you may not know what REAL chicken eggs look like so I…

    Ever since I purchased my first Berkey water filter several months ago I couldn’t be more impressed. I choose the Royal Berkey filter system at the time and it seems to work out well as I only really need to fill it once a day most days.

In fact, she’s always had a hard time finding deodorant that both works AND didn’t make her break out… seems she’s sensitive to various…

    [Editor’s foreword: This is a guest post written by John Anderson. Ultimately, I allowed this post here to highlight the role that the media and television shows like Doomsday Preppers are having on our image. Remember that no matter how “normal” you think you are… everyone else thinks you’re a bit crazy. Yes, even your…
