So I was putting away my husband's socks when I found a buried stack of magazines
 
Keep in mind he's a very conservative type.

Needless to say, I was shocked; my mouth just hung open. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

So I grabbed the magazines and confronted him.

"How long has this been going on?" I queried (we've only been married since the middle of August).

"A couple of months," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

He sort of meekly shrugged.

"I was thinking maybe we wanted to try some of it," he replied.

"With me?"

He looked at his feet and nodded.

I still don't know what to think but it's true.


It's all true.
My so-called conservative husband has a subscription to, Mother Earth News.

Now he has a list of projects for spring, including tearing down our wire fence and planting a hedge fence. He also wants to get some chickens and some guinea fowl for insect control.




And all this time you think you know a man!
 

 

She's changing him one organically washed sock at a time.

It's interesting how the DUmmies think only liberals give a dang about the environment.  CONservation .... hmmm wonder where the word CONserve comes from.

What idiots.

7. good lord. Tons of conservatives practice good conservation
 notice the similarities in the words...................

this should not be a surprise.

However, it should be noted the DUmp stuck their collective(ist) noses in the air and sniffed when Ted Nugent was on Anthony Bourdain's show and demonstrated how he plants trees and has saved an endangered species of African gazelle.

It's got some interesting stuff in it from time to time but it's really 'way too Yuppified and PC, it's all about fad Green instead of actual homesteading or sustainable living.  Backwoods Home and Countryside are MUCH better choices for people who want articles directed at people who own guns and don't have a hundred grand to drop on a solar-cell array to power their electric home and charge up their Prius.

I bet she knew exactly where to look because she was the one that stashed them there.

Oh for crap sakes! Avoid the political bullshit and Mother Earth News has a lot of practical homesteading information. But just in case her husband is looking over her shoulder, the conservative answer to Mother Earth News: Backwoods Home.

That's not a man...

That's some kind of sissy.  Where are his car and gun magazines?

I want magazines that teach you how to mount guns on cars.

I was hoping you would pop up with that title.  I couldn't find that thread from the last time you mentioned it.

Well, the sissy part is the hiding them away part.

I know that DH and I talked about that quite a bit while commuting in DC area traffic.

Not even half bong material.

1.  Putting away socks?  Not on your life.


2.  Hubby wears socks?  Not on your life.


3.  Hubby is conservative?  Not on your life.


4.  Mother Earth News?  I might buy High Times or Mother Jones.


What might have actually happened:


1.  Found gay porn with sticky socks.

2.  Found Furrie magazine with sticky socks.

3.  Found Bestiality magazines with sticky socks. 

4.  All of the above.

If her husband was gay the DUmp would be idolizing her for being so open and tolerant and pro-gay.

She'd be a hero.

Frankly, after reading her posts lo these many months I was shocked when I heard they were married.

I always tell my hubby I want a .50 cal in my mini van.

I call BS, there had to some gateway magazine before he tried Mother Earth News.

Readers Digest is the gateway rag to libruralism.

I always thought it was NewsWeak.

Will this one work??

That was the part that jumped out at me.  Anyone really think someone would 'hide' a magazine like that?

Maybe if they were "hiding" it in the bottom of the bird cage...

You start with the Digest. When you run out of that then you go to NewsWeak for a bigger fix.

Maybe it's changed in the last few years, but Reader's Digest used to have a conservative lean to it.  They had lots of stories about faith.

Sadly, I don't think they publish Firepower anymore.
