Please let us know if you are interested and what you have. Doesn't have to be new.

All of us are prepared for Y2K. We all have garden seeds and everything else. Nobody here is interested in trading our preparations for anything else. If we need anything, we go buy it locally. If you need to prepare, go buy your own stuff like we did!

Hey Seedman, you got any medicinal herbs that will kill pain like morphine in case I catch a bullet or somebody tries to cut my head off with a machete?

"somebody tries to cut my head off with a machete"

roflmao!!!!!!!!! not cut off but "tries to cut off"...egads that's a deep gash. my gosh would that hurt or what? I don't even think morphine is ease that kinda pain!

Yeah, I know it SOUNDS funny, and go ahead and call me paranoid, but believe me Michael I'm not ruling out the possibility of encountering behaviors more bizarre than I have ever previously seen exhibited by Homo Sapiens (especially after seeing that Timor stuff, and then of course A&L had to throw in the article about cannabilism!)

Just the fact that this is going to be the biggest New Year's Party in the history of mankind is dangerous enough, and then you throw in a technological meltdown and ... wheeeewww!

Yes, I'm laughing NOW too but, "better safe than sorry"!

The Truth is Stranger than Fiction...

-- @ (@@@.@), October 01, 1999.

Actually Michael I went and got a bottle of Everclear just in case of any serious injuries. I'm a wimp when it comes to pain and at 200 proof that stuff will help a lot! I guess when I said "tries" to cut off my head I was assuming that I would be able to get a bullet into my attacker or fend him off before he could finish the job. You're right though, a deep gash to the neck and the blood would drain out in seconds. I'd just like to be buzzing right along for those last few moments!

Thanks, but no thanks --

Think I'll just wait until January, when 5000W generators will be selling at about a quarter of retail on E-Bay....

(know people around here who bought them for $500+ the other week during the power outage after Floyd....then the power came back on three hours later...just had to smile a bit. Prophetic, perhaps?)

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), October 01, 1999.

Gollleee, Chicken, if ya think y2k is the end all of power disruptions in the forthcoming decade, ye be livin' in a sheltered world. There was no y2k this past summer and power outages on the east coast abounded. This is only a harbringer of what is to come with an antiquated infrastructure that is being outsized by the leaps and bounds of technology and its voracious power appetite.

Don't get rid of yer generators, ya'll gonna need 'em.

Y2K READY,

I don't recall authorizing you to speak on my behalf. A bit arrogant, aren't you?

Put a lock on your keyboard, pal.

What is everclear???

-- FOX (ardrinc@aol.com), October 01, 1999.

From my experience as unofficial housemother to the Tulane students who were my neighbors in the apartment complex that was my home in the early 70s: Everclear is what the Dekes and Pikes put in their punch bowls (frequently galvanized garbage cans) to persuade recruits into their fraternities during Rush. I believe it's also known as PGA--pure grain alcohol. I must have been the oldest person ever invited to a rush party. It certainly closed a gap in my US cultural education.

I can't believe ho immature your some of your responses have been. First, you are WRONG that everyone has everything they need. I have had numerous responses (off-line and without the audience you are obviously playing to)from people who don't have seeds or want more. We've spent plenty of money preparing including land, however you can't be too prepared. Why don't you go slam someone else or do something useful with your time while I communicate (off-line and without the audience you are obviously playing too) with sincere people who are contacting me and trading very useful stuff.

Hey FOX

As I recall, (thru blurry, bloodshot eyes) and a vague haziness that, when combined with the feeling that a 747 did a touch-and-go on my tongue, As I recall Everclear is this really evil spirit that promulgulated the term 'fire-water' among the Native Americans back in the day.....

-- Billy-Boy (Rakkasn@Yahoo.com), October 01, 1999.

Three months to go and your wanting to barter already? I'm not in any position right now to do any bartering. Supplies are still very plentiful and anything that I have right now to barter with I may end up of having to use them if things get really serious. I'm prediciting that a bag of beans can be traded for a Rolex watch, think I'll go buy me a couple batteries for the watch.......

From: Y2K, ` la Carte by Dancr near Monterey, California

Everclear, everclear, ever-clear... isn't that a term used by some polly to refer to how he knows Y2K's gonna be no problemo? Thanks, I never quite understood exactly what he was saying about that until now.

-- Dancr (addy.available@my.webpage), October 01, 1999.

Seedman why don't you go "barter" for an ad somewhere else. Our community isn't junked up with billboards on the side of the road.

Hey Mike,

ROTFLMAO.....!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I really need that :-)

-- mar (derigueur2@aol.com), October 01, 1999.

I haven't traded anything with the Seedman yet, but am considering it. I'd appreciate anyone's assistance in telling me their impression of their trades with the Seedman is and/or whether or not his general seed prices are reasonable.

I traded an Aladdin lamp with a Bob Mayberry (mayberry@HiWAAY.net) for a home-made solar oven, and am very pleased with the solar oven that he sent to me.

IMHO, I'm more than happy to barter for some things, buy from others, and help people find something they need at the same price I get things. In the past few months, I have purchased a Petromax-type stove from a regular, traded another Aladdin lamp and Ultra Pure Lamp Oil for cookbooks and water barrels, and have picked up things for people on my trips to Amish country including Aladdin lamps, Ultra Pure Lamp Oil, Seed, and other things.

Yes: Buyer and barterers, beware. But don't pass up a fair deal either.

Sincerely, Stan Faryna

The Seedman's store is located at www.y2kstormwatch.com.

If you know non-hybrid seed prices, please let us know if the seedman's prices are fair.

-- Stan Faryna (faryna@groupmail.com), October 01, 1999.

I have tons of open polinated seeds... all but corn. Traded some old books that I didn't need or want for a pot load of corn seed from this guy. Don't knock barter. You may have to live by it. Better start practicing now. This kind of response makes me wonder how many on this forum are really talking the talk and won't be able to really walk the walk. More than I suspect.

FOX,

Everclear is pure grain alcohol, 200 proof, which if I recall correctly is only available in some states. Since doctors these days won't give you anything good for fear of being sued, and stuff like codeine from off the street or over the border is still too expensive for my pocketbook, this is the next best thing. For "medicinal purposes" only, you understand. It will burn the skin off of your tongue, make your hair stand up straight, and send your brain into orbit, but it also does pretty well at numbing out pain when sipped and can also be poured directly into the wound. NO SMOKING nearby!
