The BFP Compound: Family Land

[Rockinonahigh]

Well if there were such a place I have many skills that can contribute to the up keep of the compound,Im good with animals,cand build barns and have extensive ablities in all phases of farm work,cook real good annnnnd I have a more that fair amount of medical expertise with both humans and animals.....sort of a jack of all trades hear.I would need a cottage for me and the fur kids,space for a pool table not to mention the bazillion books one alllll kinds of subjects I get every month in the mail,I promiss it will be worth it.

[COLOR="Teal"...it is a smoke-free, kid-free, cat-free, drama-free place. With no bugs, of course, or druggies.

My contributions would be: cooking, sewing, making awesome pillows, and my forte - decorating/remodeling (the designing/planning part - I don't do physical labor - too old, no strength left in these ol' bones). I am a great event planner, and all around 'idea' person. So yeah, with all these conditions - count me in, lol

And yes, we all should pay rent, a certain percentage of our income. A community chest should be put in place for life's 'downs' to help our 'family' when they need it.

AND, we should all have our own houses/apartments in a secure gated community that is like Fort Knox to get into. OK, I think I'm done. Oh, one more thing -all doggies welcome, but must be neutered and kept in a fenced-in yard - we all get at least 1 acre each so we can breeeeeath. I think this is a very 'modest' proposal. [/COLOR]

Would you want to live on a BFP compound? Definitely


What skills can you contribute? Being an RN, I can offer my medical skills. I am also really good with animals.. I whisper to them daily, sometimes yell also.


Would you want to do community meals every night in the "Mess Hall"? This could definitely be an option. Maybe offer to go orders as well for those folks who just can't stay for dinner but need to eat.


Would people still need to pay something into the system like rent, even if it was only nominal? I think it would be a good idea to pay a nominal fee. Or services could be bartered or set like on a point system. You cook three times a week and you get free meals for the whole week... etc.


Do you think you'd get tired of living with family all year long? What family doesn't get tired of each other? If you have 400 acres available, set aside 100 acres or so in the back 40 for those who need seclusion. People could camp out there or we could build some cabins that come work by first come first serve type of deal.


What pro's and con's can you see to this idea? Pros would be we can be ourselves no matter what. We all have many skills, life experiences to offer. We could learn from each other.
Cons: You can wind up cutting yourself off from the rest of the world, but hey, sometimes that is not a bad thing. We could still come and go with a secret handshake or something.

What input do you have?

A creek or stream would be nice. Disagreements can happen when in close proximity. Have some type of system to handle such arguments if the two people can't handle them on their own... sort of like timing them out!

Some things still make me giggle hysterically.

What about my 2 little boys, though? They can pull weeds or pick blueberries. lol. They're pretty well behaved. I don't know what I can do on a compound because my skills are mostly office based. I did have a fabulous garden this year but I'm no expert. I think Gemme and I are pretty much in the same skill set. I'm willing to learn though. I can give manicures. Hello, femmes...you need manicures.

Well, they need people on the phone to order goodies, no? We can maintain the office. That's where a lot of my strengths lie as well. How about that?

I can sew, clean, hostess lingerie parties, work in garden and make awesome martinis. I will even create a signature BFP martini.
