Parenting Resources

2007-10-21T19:58:50-05:00

One of the objections I sometimes hear to parents having more than a few children is the expense of diapering. Of course, folks are referring to paper, disposable diapers here, for the most part. But even cloth diapering can be expensive, especially if you purchase the fancy fitted diapers and soaker covers.

Fortunately, an enthusiast of cloth diapering has put together a website with how-to’s and some free patterns for different kinds of diapers and soakers available on it. She also sells ready-made patterns for diapers, soakers, baby carriers, cloth dolls, and other cloth items useful to women.

Her instructions for the most budget conscious among us can be found here: Sew a Diaper Stash for $30 or Less http://fernandfaerie.com/frugaldiapering.html There are other pages that show how to sew various kinds of diapers and covers as well.

Her commercial patterns are available here: http://fernandfaerie.com, and she offers commercial licenses to ladies who want to produce them as a cottage industry.

I have no personal knowledge of her business side, but it looks good. And her freebies are awesome.

God bless,

Hedge against inflation, triple your money. No risk, spend nothing.

2011-11-09T07:48:29-05:00

I know I’ve been a virtual ghost lately and I promise you it’s been a justifiable absence. I’m happy to report that Southern tenacity prevails and I’ve recovered much of my former wealth. The farm is in order, the coffers are replete with resources and my physical health has returned to me. That said, let’s get down to business.

Unless you’ve been living under a big ol’ Socialist rock, you’ve probably noticed the sad state of economic affairs that plague this once-great nation of ours. The reasons and blame could fill 100 forums, so let us move to a solution; at the very least a personal one. I’ll begin by affirming that this is not a scheme, a get-rich-quick method to personal wealth or a short term investment. As some of you already know, I returned from Afghanistan to find an empty home, an empty bank account and bare fields. This is one of the several methods I’ll lay out which has lent itself to me in recouping my former financial status and that will also ensure my estate survives a very possible, if not inevitable collapse of the United States Federal Reserve Note.

The first topic (I’ll add more to this thread as the discussions on this exhaust themselves) can be headlined with one simple and often overlooked word: Pennies.

That’s right, pennies. The simple, brown coins that bear the likeness of arguably America’s greatest tyrant. The peon of the financial world in the U.S. could very well save your wealth in the long run.

Before you can employ this often discarded coinage, you must first get to know it.

Pennies today are a relatively worthless alloy comprised of 97.5% Zn (zinc) and 2.5% Cu (copper), or simply put, a copper plated zinc core. Obviously, the face value of the penny is 1/100th of a dollar. Now the melt value, or the value of the metals contained in the coin are $0.00527556 (as of this writing), or a little over half a cent. So, the face value is actually higher than the actual melt value at this point. Here’s the key: This only includes pennies minted from mid-1982 to present.

Pennies minted before mid-1982 were a different alloy, entirely. These coins were comprised of brass; more specifically a very copper-rich brass (95% Cu and 5% Zn, no plating). At this very moment the market price of copper is 3.4750 USD per LB.

The weight of a pre-1982 copper penny is 3.1 grams. Therefore, it takes about 151 pennies to equal one pound of 95% copper (which is more than acceptable for junk copper and scrap value). Are the gears turning yet? That’s right: 151 pre-‘82 pennies ($1.51 face value) have a melt value of $3.48 at the moment. The metal in one copper penny is more than twice it’s face value (specifically $0.0236665).

These trends can only be expected to continue, given the devaluation of the USD and the rising demand of copper worldwide (do a bit of research on China’s current copper consumption, not to mention future forecasts).

Here’s what you do: Go to the bank and “buy” pennies. I’m not putting you on. Buy as many as you can afford. They come in $25 boxed rolls. My credit union has $50 bags. Get what you can. Sort through them, picking out the ‘82 and prior coins. Return the ‘83 and up coins to the bank and deposit them back into your account. Keep the copper coins in a manageable container. I find 1 gallon milk, bleach or other jugs ideal. When you fill a jug, store it. I may sound like I’ve come completely unhinged, but I bury mine. You’ll have to sort the 1982 pennies to determine which are copper and which are zinc. A small, digital scale that measures grams is ideal. The 1982 coins that weigh between 2.9 and 3.1 grams are keepers. Any that weigh less go back to the bank.

If sorting pennies sounds like more work than you’re willing to do, an investment can be made into a sorting machine called a “Ryedale”. It’s expensive (upwards of $500) but it will multiply your productivity exponentially and it can be resold with little loss later.

I’ll say again, this is a long-term investment, but it’s also a no-risk investment. If trends continue, you could triple your money or better (currently copper penny lots are selling for twice face value on Ebay). If the dollar somehow miraculously rebounds, you still have the money in physical form and it’ll be worth face. Either way, you can’t lose. 2 weeks ago, one ton of copper pennies held a face value of around $2,500-3,000 and a melt value of $7,000-8,000. A ton may sound like a lot, but that’s only 1m x 1m, or a simple Rubbermaid tote-full. If divided into 1 gallon containers, it remains manageable and concealable. Savings accounts are susceptible to inflation, paper cash reserves are susceptible to inflation, bonds, stocks, CDs, etc. may all fall victim to the dollar’s collapse. Mark my words: Copper will not.

In 6 months time at a rate of about 1 hour per day, sorting while I watch the news or have my coffee, I’ve collected over 3 tons of copper pennies. That’s about $20k (melt value), or $7k (face value) that can be liquidated any time, without penalty, but isn’t subjected to the decline of the USD.

This is the bottom rung of the ladder that is safe and powerful investment. It’s only the beginning of what I offer you.

Homeschooling Resources

2007-09-17T21:55:23-05:00

I am starting this topic so that we might share resources that will aid those of us who are homeschooling our children. There are many different methods of homeschooling, and I would not presume to dictate that one and one only is the correct method to use. Charlotte Mason, Classical Christian, Robinson Self-Teaching, all have their virtues and limitations. There are others that I am not familiar with, and I hope those who are familiar with them will share resources here.

I recently discovered a website that offers An Old-Fashioned Education. They have collected free online resources, in the public domain, in many different subject areas. I looked around and found it well-organized, and I am familiar with a number of the online texts linked to. They are very good. So, enjoy! I hope there is something of use to you all there.

homeschooling resource; “Do Hard Things”

2010-09-23T11:30:47-05:00

The book, “Do Hard Things” is excellent for any teen. Written by two teenage homeschooled brothers, it illustrates
the importance of character in our society. Defending what is right (and determining what is right), utilizing
techniques of articulate and peaceful persuasion, and serving others while giving the glory and credit to God
are some aspects of this important message to a generation that will be most likely called upon to defend
our constitutional rights in ways our generation has not even considered.

Rise in Some Head and Neck Cancers Tied to Oral Sex: Study
There’s a worrisome uptick in the incidence of certain head and neck cancers among middle-aged and even younger Americans…That’s because the human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major trigger for these cancers, and HPV can be transmitted through this type of sexual activity… having six or more oral sex partners over a lifetime was associated with a 3.4 times higher risk for oropharyngeal cancer—cancers of the base of the tongue, back of the throat or tonsils. Having 26 or more vaginal-sex partners tripled the risk.

Television Programming Reviews

As if there were not already enough good reason to keep that evil tube away from one’s children:

MTV’s Sordid ‘Skins’

Now those secular progressives at MTV have opened a new front. They feel one should enjoy a childhood stuffed with sex, drugs and alcoholism. That would be the message of their new teen drama “Skins.” Adapted from a British series and filmed in Canada, MTV boasts that the actors are actually under 18—in another interpretation, we call them “children”—and that the show’s writers are barely out of high school, so its libertine escapades are authentic, “the real secret lives” of teenagers.

MTV promotes itself as “the world’s premier youth entertainment brand” and “the cultural home of the millennial generation.” It’s so proud of this show’s sleaze that they’re even rating it TV-MA (for mature audiences only). It’s not a warning. It’s an invitation.

The show is so sleazy that The New York Times reported Viacom is now pondering whether the upcoming third episode will have to have teen actor nudity edited out so MTV won’t break child pornography laws.
