Buy Nothing Day vs. Black Friday

I have to mention that I did make some good amount of sales on Squidoo on Black Friday. I don't mind buying on a Black Friday, one gets good deals. However; I would prefer to do online shopping.

Cassie Liversidge’s Homegrown Tea Planting, Harvesting, Blending Guide

Your list of leaves, flowers, berries, and roots that can be used to make tea is wonderful. I'll refer back to it as I try new tisanes. Haven't tried honeysuckle, for instance.

Coppicing

I had not heard of this foraging rule, but it makes complete sense. The tree grows again, but there can be several trunks coming out of it, and if the woodsman wanted, all but one could be cut and a new large tree would grow from the stump.

All About the Big Bang Theory

@frankbeswick - I agree. We can at least come out with some theory for now. Later on, it has to be tweaked or modified altogether.

All About the Big Bang Theory
