YES! That was the first thing Jackhammer said was "We have to have a pond, babe."


STOCKED even!

A POND!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)

Sorry...Regains composure....

If this were a reality, I would love to live there. I would gladly assist in the marketing end of the community's needs. Doing outreach, plugging it at events, assisting with tours, etc.

I would like to run a bed and breakfast tho, for visitors. Family members, friends, dates, etc. The B&B would also host community events, like huge potlucks and after dinner theater and special guest lecturers.


My B&B would have a berry patch, herb garden and chicken flock.

I need a cook tho. I cant handle cooking for the public...

I can.....
 

We do need someone to do massage, reiki, healing, etc!


And that means we need a meditation hall/ massage parlor (not THAT kind!)

I'd like to see various housing options, depending on budget, needs and desires. We would probably like a one floor home with a nice porch for our rockers in the front, and a screened porch in the back. We might like to see an "over 50" area so it would be quieter where we lived.

I'd rather see each individual or family be responsible for their financial needs, with some communal obligations. Maybe a fee to maintain the property and needs such as security, taking care of the pool, and stocking the pond. There could be some cooperatives set up for things like child care or a small convenience store.

There would be individuals and families of all ages. All visitors would be allowed, as long as they were allies of the community. There would be rules of conduct and an elected board of some sort, with a time limited term.

Throughout the year, there would be opportunities for socializing and culture. We could have a club house or small venue to host some good music, plays, exhibitions. It could be open to the public for special events, providing a chance for good will in the community. Activities would be organized by interested members, including local trips and vacations, hobby clubs (hiking, crafts), biking, cooking class, painting, etc....

We would figure out a way to provide for members who could no longer care for themselves, and step in when family and loved ones couldn't or wouldn't. I am a social worker, and I can help with dealing with families, seeking and securing needed services, and stuff like that!

I have so many more thoughts...if this ever moved toward becoming a reality, I'd love to be involved in the brainstorming process.

1st things
sewage: tanks or?
fire dept: on site with EMT

I'm in btw, to old to do much but i know things and how to make things work, or so I think

So when can we move in?

Can I just volunteer T as our resident Handy Guy? lol

armadillos are awesome except for their carrying leprosy

Oh hey - I've been vaccinated for rabies - so I could be the resident wild-animal catch-and-re-releaser.

Except poisonous snakes and monkeys - those are hard limits for me.

I'll even come capture your spiders and bugs and re-release :)

Sustainable Food Production
 

I vote for an in ground pool turned Aquaponic Tilapia Farm/organic vegtable garden/chicken coop etc. etc....check out GardenPool.org...brings a whole new meaning to the expression "chicken shit."

Ok, I think I cracked up way too loud at this!

It rains ARMADILLOS in Arkansas, people! [insert "Tubular Bells" from The Excorcist here] :praying:
