Yeah, chubby chick that adores cooking here! I can cook gourmet novelle cuisine on a woodstove or collard greens and ham-hocks and cornbread in a gourmet kitchen. 
No one has EVER gone hungry around me!
I could go for the collard greens and ham-hocks and cornbread.
I lived in a tent for 5 months by myself in the NC mountains from Nov til March(was homeless after marriage break-up 5 years ago), always managed to have a hot breakfast and a hot dinner.
Back to independence and freedom..
Got a bit of a question...maybe observation is a better word...
I advocate and live personal freedom to the highest degree.
I do not pay taxes (other that gasoline and sales). I have never filed a *1040* or any of those other BS IRS forms. I don't bother them, they don't bother me. I opted out before I ever got opted in. I tell all my employers I am *tax exempt*. Usually work for cash anyway.Even ran my own business on a cash only basis and was quite successful.
I drive without a gov't issued license. The car is tagged and insured but not in my name.
I do not use my SS#. (I doubt I can remember it!) If anyone asks for it, I tell them it is not necessary for that particular purpose, period. I have a bank account <shrug>, my bank gave me no problems. I used an old college i.d. and a state i.d. from another state (does not use SS# on it) that I got years ago to open my account.
Not one of my firearms is registered. It is no ones business but my own as to what and how many I own. I buy from private sellers. (Bless Texas yard sales...yes, YARD SALES!)
Yep, you'll fit right in here......
I have people appalled at these admissions. Sorry...bit of rant there....
I don't think you will "appall" anyone here. I would presume that you would hear applause.....!
Regards, Danl
