We have a patch of woodland out in the middle of nowhere in rural Dorset, fed by a small stream and shaded from the worst of the weather. It is mixed woodland bordered by pine and dotted with forgot-me-not, quintessential English stuff.
I have a small cabin on order, no more than a larger, insulated shed really. I am going to erect it in the middle of the woodland and move in as soon as I can, miles from the nearest town or road.
I'll get by by living off of the land, which I have experience of, and spend my days building and maintaining my land and house and chopping wood. No need for contact with the outside world unless I say so, which is absolutely the way I want it. No more gridlock, offices, politicians, wars, rudeness, terror threats and fumes. Just me, some good friends now and again, and the simple life, frozen in time. A bit of fishing and walking when I get tired.
Is it wrong of me, as a young man, to want this from life?
Thanks!
Is it wrong to want to cut oneself out of society?
That sounds like pure heaven and so it should be! Society is highly overrated and well I live in the country side also, with my nearest neighbour 5 miles away and I am a very happy person for it...Life is too short go for it!
Believe me you won't regret it...all you need is the right girl and mans best 4 legged friend to enjoy it all with...
Good luck!
Reply:You go for it sunshine.
Sounds like heaven. ; )
Reply:nothing wrong with this at all.
its your choice, if you have the means and will to do this then by all means go for it.
however i personally would count too much isolation as a negative aspect of this plan - a good circle of friends would help alot in this case. it could also be a little bit hazardous to have no-one else around in case of an accident, so keeping a mobile phone might not be a bad idea.
i recognise your motivation in getting away from certain aspects of society, however as you are probably used to company it may be a bit difficult to change.
ideally if i was in this situation i would need some kind of work or activity to keep me busy so regular trips back into the "real" world might be a good idea also.
also (if its relevant) there are scatterings of "new agers" throughout britain and ireland who go in for this same way of living, maybe research them, they probably have good advice for you.
maybe things were better back when people lived like this.
Reply:Nope, I think most of us would just envy you. Nothing wrong at all.
Reply:Absolutely not, it sounds like heaven, wish I could do the same.
Reply:IL help to make the shed for two be with you tomorrow
Reply:That's what everyone wants but be careful! Remember the film Clockwork Orange? It was banned because of a scene where a man and woman were beaten and the woman died. Stanley kuberick was living in a remote cottage in the UK at the time, probably fearing it could happen to his wife and children as well.
Reply:Wrong? I think not!
Sounds idyllic, really...think I'm jealous
Reply:It's not wrong,but it's mentally unhealthy to feel that way.
Reply:As long as you keep the ability to contact the emergency services then I see the benefit in the peace and quiet, if you decide to go ahead then can I be your friend?....lol
Reply:Not at all I think about it constantly
Reply:Oh, I am right there with ya! I find the human race tiresome and just plain mean most days.

Could someone tell about the freemason's? please?
my granda was one but he didn't/couldn't tell anything about it all i could see that he done was go to meetings and playing domino' i know nothing at all about their beliefs!
another thing when he died they gave my gran a little blue flower! she calls it a forget me not but it must symbolise something? no
Could someone tell about the freemason's? please?
I am a Freemason and will be happy to answer honestly and openly.
The Forget Me Not is a Freemason symbol used during Nazi Germany so that Freemasons could recognize each other; they were hunted and killed by the Nazi's.
The Forget Me Not is also used by the Society of Blue Friars (or something like that) which is an invite only body of Freemason Authors.
You are right, not much info about Freemasonry below.
We are a social fraternity that studies morality through ritual, symbol and allegory. Our main tenets are faith, hope and charity and we provide more charity than any other group on the planet.
to some others:
Tribe- knows nothing about freemasonry, there is no master magician (or any kind of magician) in freemasonry
* freemasonry is not a cult
* chick.com is typical of uninformed anti-mason propganda
* interesting story from Bro Dan, that's all it is though

Reply:Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around 5 million, with around 480,000 in England, Scotland and Ireland alone, and just under two million in the United States. The various forms all share moral and metaphysical ideals, which include, in most cases, a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.
The fraternity is administratively organised into Grand Lodges (or sometimes Orients), each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. Grand Lodges recognise each other through a process of landmarks and regularity. There are also appendant bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration.
To learn more, you can look for a Lodge in your area and speak to someone there. If you're male, you may even discuss joining their organization (if you're female, your father [if you're unwed] or your husband will have to join, and you'll assist other daughters/wives).
Reply:The freemasons were a secret society (which is why your grandad couldn't tell you anything). Freemasonry is still in existence, but back in the 1700s it was mostly a brotherhood of diests (not necessarily a personal savior belief). It was big on constitutional rights, including freedom to worship, but served practically as a mens retreat in which they swore loyalty and patriotism but also sat around and smoked or played games or competed in organized elements like chess or wrestling or whatever...
I think it was basically a mens club that incorporated politics and religion.
Reply:They are the least expensive stone cutters.
In reality the Masons are simply a fraternal organization that actually provide allot of charity for children hospitals all over the country.
They have their secret ceremonies that seem weird to us because we don't practice them, but in reality all ceremonies seem weird if you aren't familiar to them. Imagine drinking the blood of your god to remember him?
I suggest going to a local lodge and getting to know some of the old fellas there. Masons, unlike Christians aren't allowed to ask you to join them, you must approach them.
Reply:Remember when you were a kid, and you had your "fort" and you had to do the initiation, and then you got a secret knock, password, or handshake... all that cool stuff, then you just kinda hung out.
The freemasons were on TV explaining exactly what the whole thing is. They're that "fort". And they don't accept atheists or agnostics, you have to be part of a legitimate religion. So the fact that to get in you HAVE to believe in one of the religions, that includes possibly being a Christian, it doesn't make sense that they would be satanic if believing in and following Jesus could be one of the requirements to get in.
Reply:Contrary to Y/A belief not all Masons are old geezers. Of the Masons that I know a couple are younger and quite hot.
They are now very similar to a fraternity/lodge many families will have the men in the Masons. Like it's been suggested-do a search-there's a ton of interesting information on the Masons.
BTW-The Masonic Temple in DC is beautiful. Fabulous architecture.

Reply:The story is like this. When the Knights Templar came to the Holy Land, they discovered a different Jesus. Jesus did not die on the cross, and he married Magdalene. Mary was pregnant and she went to Europe to escape their enemies. Her womb (the grail) had the bloodline of Jesus (sangre real). This bloodline had descendants who were considered to be king of kings all over Europe but they never went public. Their antagonists were the apostle Paul and, later, the Roman pontiff. To them, Paul was a Roman spy who penetrated the early Church to convert it into a Roman tool of influence. The Knights Templar were destroyed by the Pope but secret societies followed in their footsteps. The Freemasons are among these societies.
Reply:I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
They used to be a group of freethinkers that were heavily involved in the Enlightenment. There's all sorts of conspiracy theories about them. They're not all that involved in anything anymore, unless you think the John Birchers know something everyone else doesn't.
Edit: OOOOO look, we just got a visit from the Thumbs Down Fairy! Isn't she UGLY?
Reply:They are a fraternity. If you want to hang with a bunch of old guys and wear silly hats and aprons, it's for you.
Google it and you can find the whole ritual on line even though it is supposed to be this big secret. It's pretty silly if you ask me.
Reply:A 5-second google search of 'freemasons' will get you PAGES of info without the need to ask US. Try it. If it doesn't work for you, then come back and ask again. Results guaranteed or your time back.

Why buy fresh flowers when you only use them for one day, girl go to Michael's or any craft store and have them make your arrangements, my girlfriend did that, cost of flowers went from $800 for fresh to $175!

Most flowers are around $8 a bunch, some less or more depending on the type.

Planting other plants over tulip bed?
Since tulips only bloom in the spring, they will leave the patch looking barren during the summer? If so, can anything be planted over the tulip bed while ensuring the bulbs are intact for next year? Also, I read that tulip beds should be accompanied by something like forget me not but if the tulips are dead then wont that look awkward?? Any help is appreciated. By the way, I am in NJ - zone 6.
Planting other plants over tulip bed?
We plant tulips and daffodils together ....then let them die down ( they can't be cut back because they use the stem to store food for the next year) After the stalks have died down I plant annuals....usually nasturtiums.
Reply:I have always wondered the same thing. What I do is wait until the entire tulip dies back, remove all the dead foliage then I put a large potted container of flowers over the area to fill the void. I have also planted flowers near the tulips that will vine and spread over the area, such as creeping jenny. Good luck, will be watching to see what other answers you get.
Reply:that depends on if you want the same plants every year... you can put down petunias after the tulips die down.. but they wont come back every year... dont put down anything like hostas.. or anything like that because they will come back and take over...you can always put down flowers that will die off at the end of the year... and then you can change them every year.. and keep your tulips intact. good luck!
Reply:What you do is tie the tulip leaves in a loose knot and plant annuals in front of them

Okay i seriosly need help on my science project?
Okay my science project is I water, water, coffee, and soda to a forget me not (flower) every two days (1/4 cup) and see which one grows faster!!!!
i have no idea what i did wrong maybe water it to much (idk)
but its not growing!!!
HELP!!!
Okay i seriosly need help on my science project?
What you need to do is remember that as long as you can explain what happened, you didn't "get it wrong".
Write up your data and present your conclusions. None of them grew because:
1) I watered them too much. Site source like where the plant lives and the annual rainfall for that area (BTW did you use the orange or the yellow, doesn't matter, just wondering)
2) The lighting in your environment was off some how.
3) You didn't know , but the water you were using was contaminated with acid or something making all the trials the same
Think up something and stick to it.
If the experiment is still going, decrease watering and make note of it in your conclusion.
Did you do some background on this plant before you started. If you didn't , DO IT NOW and put that in there.
