KidsHappen Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ahh, personal responsibility, reciprocal respect AND a great library? Count me in. I'll even donate my books -- just promise me you'll replace them if you damage them. ;) Can you imagine the kind of library we could assemble? Can I be the librarian? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Can I run the library? We would have to have our own library right? :D Oops. I didn't see that this position was already called for. Maybe we could work together. I would be content to just shelve the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Oops. I didn't see that this position was already called for. Maybe we could work together. I would be content to just shelve the books. You got it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 How do you build a sand castle with mulched rubber? That's just weird. Don't forget all the hand-me-down clothes we could pass around that haven't been...gasp...tested. I have tons of hand-me downs. I could clothe a small army. And I even think that most of it would be acceptable to the commune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryTX Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ahhh...those new laws don't apply to used clothes (I think there was a thread a month back or so on that). Not that it matters for this post... If a family of respectful unbelievers that respect others and their property rights are allowed...sure sign me up. I can be the COS (Chief of Sarcasm).

I'd love to help out too. I could help organize stuff. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Is it too late to join??? I'll teach music classes to elementary age kids - great stuff, analyzing the classics. I'll run a great choir program. Dh will run the organic gardening center, and he'll even coach a homeschool orchestra. Dd16 can start a classical ballet school. Can we come? Can we? Puh-leeze???

SherryTX Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 :iagree: Exactly what I was thinking. :) Yeah, maybe not so much. But one can dream can't they? Actually, I would just settle for a "Galt's Gulch" - like in Atlas Shrugged where people went to the Gulch for a few months to get away from a crazy world and got to enjoy living, working and playing with other like minded people. Commune year round in real life? No. But it would be nice to have a place to go to escape the crazy world for a few weeks or months. We did that one year for 5 or 6 days when we went to Grand Cayman Island with friends. It was AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmkclscroggins Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 When can we move in? It would be nice to have actual friends with the same values and kids your kids can play with without concern. Sign me up! I'll bring lots of books!!! melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There will be fresh herbs right? :lol: Doesn't every commune have fresh herbs? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Can I sew cute, funky, imaginative,sweet, stylish, made-to-order clothes that don't have "Brat" plastered on the rear end? Oh, please do! Since when did "Brat" become a compliment? I saw some "girly" themed stickers one day and some of them said "Brat!" Eew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa R. Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here is the web-site: http://www.homesteadheritage.com/index.html We've visited there the day after Thanksgiving a few years ago. It is a Christian community. The people that live on the property live a very old fashioned lifestyle. They garden, farm, can, make their own soap, make their own clothes, and on and on. They home school, as well. This community, while they still use cell phone and electricity, like to do things the old way. They often farm with horses and built a large barn on the property without nail, only wooden pegs. The web-site doesn't say anything about their community. I'm guessing they don't want people from all over descending upon them. It's a fascinating place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
