Hemp was outlawed in the U.S. in the late19th century by a congress bought and paid for by the lumber industry. It seems we've always been saddled with a bought and paid for congress. At that time, the lumber industry felt threatened because hemp products are easily converted to building materials like studs, siding, shingles etc. This stuff was cheaper, lighter, stronger and impervious to termites. So all these years we've been deprived of cheap, useful, and superior building products in the interest of profits for a narrow industry. And nothing has changed.

follow the money.... same way "someone" killed stanley Meyer,, the guy who show us how to use H2O for fuel in a car.....
And it s easy to do even...

Thanks for your note. Here's what keeps me going: Wisdom in Its Practical Form Don't Chintz on Pet Food Multi Level Marketing From a Customer Perspective

Thanks Loes - from the Netherlands. We have a Dutch dog handler on our timber plantation here. He's an absolute nut! Are you all like that?

I can do nutty things:)

I do too. But the privilege of my years gets me excused and I take full advantage of it.

Sure

It's good. Convincingly presented.

If you find a way to make this work without spending an enormous amount of time learning, on a continuing basis, tell me about it. Good luck.

Not all of them have anything to do with this business. Some of them are just for fun, and I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for your comment. A couple of theme glitches need to be worked out yet, but this site should be ready for the light of day by week's end. ( need to get my great granddaughter to teach me a couple of things.)

Thanks. I'll follow you back.

Hope I'm not making a nuisance of myself. This activity is actually taking more time than I want to devote to it. Thanks for the contact.

No, not a nuisance. You just get addicted. :-)

Just wish I had more time to devote to this.

Hi Werner, just a quick Thank You for your responses to a few of my questions in recent weeks.
I happened to notice your comment about wishing you had more time to devote to WA. You seem like the kind of guy who enjoys a good challenge, so I'll respond to your comment the same way my Dad did to me some years back when I made the same remark to him regarding me not having time to coach our School Baseball team.

It's funny how we always seem to be able to find time to do the things that mean the most to us in life, just like we seem to find the money for things we just have to have, or can't live without.

When he pointed out that I sleep an Avg of 6 hours a night, 365 nights a year, I realized I sleep a total of 91.25 days each year, I'm literally asleep 3 full months of every year. If I were sleeping 8 hours a night, I'd be sleeping a little over 4 months a year.

That blew my mind, I no longer say I don't have time, because I do.
If I get up 1 hour earlier and stay up one hour later each day for an entire year, I've found an extra 730 hours or 30 days to do what Rick Wants, an entire month.

I thought I'd share that, every time I hear someone say, I don't have time, I remember that conversation with my Dad like it was yesterday.

Good Luck to you Werner !!!
Rick

Thanks for your comment, Rick, but I'm way ahead of you. When I was working a job I would start at 08:00 hrs. Now that I'm "retired" and in this business, I start at 05:30 and work 'till at least 22:00 hrs. It's not that I don't have time to work in my business, it';s time I'd like to give to WA which needs to take a back seat to other demands. On top of that, my wife insists I take time for family dinners on sunday.

I'm with you man, I'm sort of in the same situation, almost 61, retired, I have a 10 yr old daughter and a 13 yr old son at home, so I'm a stay at home Dad as well.
I get them up, I fix their breakfast, I take them to school, I pick them up from school, I take them to sports activities and Birthday parties, I take them to Doctor and Dentist Appointments, I see that their homework assignments are completed, and as often as possible, I prepare dinner so my wife doesn't have too after working all day.
Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention, the household chores need to be done when the kids are at school, in other words, I wear the "Maid Hat" too.
My wife is very jealous of my time since she's gone all day, so in order for me to get WA time, time for Rick, I find that when the lights are out and everyones all tucked in having "Sweet Dreams", sound asleep, I do all I can do, a little here and little there, you know the drill.

If I'm not strategic in looking for time for me, I'll be a Professional Cook, Bottle Washer, Babysitter, and Maid the rest of my life.
Essentially, it's no different than being an employee, always doing things for everyone else but me, living by everyone else's schedule but my own.

It's tough I know, hang in there and get it while you can bud.

See ya Werner,
Rick

I can relate to both of you on this. It's 10:41 pm and I just got started with my WA stuff tonight. Busy day, my longest part-time work day of the week.

That's for sure. Remember the HP Calculator?

Sure. Used it.

Thanks Larry. I remember the Eniac too. Worked on her in graduate school at U of Chi. Had a bicycle with a tube caddy on the back and rode around the square block installation changing burned out vacuum tubes. Could tell a lot of stories about that. First computer "bug" was found there; a moth stuck between the contacts of a relay in a matrix. Oh, yeah, I'm 94. I still remember stuff though.

Thanks Sybill, I'll follow you back.

My great grandaughter is my instructor.

You probably have the best instructor that there is.
Ken

Thank you.

Good advice.

Thanks Doug
