Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

The thing has landed in the holler. Years ago I did a show on how we handle illness in the Holler when Norovirus swept through my house over Thanksgiving. Today, I will share the updated approach in a post THE THING world. Spring Workshop Tickets are on sale. Get them here. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Ran out of beef The Empty Jar Problem Still have not restocked - not in a hurry Lamb Rib Recipe Operation Independence Tajmaholler Update Main topic of the Show: How We Address Illness in the Holler The Holler Neighbors are what I call an unintentional intentional community. (What that means and a bit about how we came to be). Story of Thanksgiving. Identify that someone is sick Communicate to all Learn about what they have and what care Make a plan to cover chores (Nick Ferguson's dead tree story) Communicate Establish the isolation or quarantine place (bathroom sharing, etc) Communications Jenni's Care Packages Med kit lessons learned: number of thermometers, pain killers, nebulizer Keeping everyone else strong/community/nutrition What we are doing for the covid outbreak and how the neighbors are doing - a word on media hype.

Today, we talk with Erin Edwards and Alex Martin from Flote.app about the importance of decentralized social media and freedom of speech. They will also share some up and coming things about Flote. Reminder: LFTN Spring Workshop Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am Central! Sunday at 8pm: Live with Toolman Tim to discuss getting started with real estate Youtube: https://youtu.be/W-tIpCE4SEk flote.app/user/ToolmanTim/live Pete Quinones Show Show Resources Flote Social Network: Flote.app Main content of the show Freedom of speech is important because if we do not discuss all of our ideas and learn from one another, we never progress. Further, it is immoral to force silence on another person simply because they say things you do not like. Over the past decade, the social media giants have slowly shown that they have no regard for individual rights and have used their large reach to control the social narrative. They silence, bully and erase people after those people have invested time and resources to build followings and businesses using the tools that the big social media giants provide. Erin and Kinglsey Edwards have been fed up with this for a long time. Rather than sit around and complain about it, they launched flote.app, a social network platform that is moving toward decentralized system and encourages freedom of speech. If you set up an account there and say something that Kinglsey does not agree with, you will not be "cancelled'. Instead, people who do not agree with you will discuss it with you. Or not. Their choice. And it is all about choice.This is a previously recorded interview with Erin Edwards and Alex Martin of flote about the importance of free speech, decentralized technology and so much more.

Welcome to Living Free in Tennessee. Today, I discuss what to do when you have an enemy. What an enemy is. And wether or not you can be successful if you do NOT have an an enemy. Live this week!

Pete Quinones Show Main topic of the Show: What to do when you have an enemy? What is an enemy? eResources example Food Forest Farms example Liberty Movement Infighting Example Sour grapes online/death threats, etc What do you do when you get one? Verify that they are the enemy Who is actually the problem? Is their criticism valid? Demolish vs Denature vs Ignore vs Coexist Community protection What if they simply will not go away? Decide which sandbox you wish to be in Sometimes you just gotta punch them in the face e run across people who are envious of what we can do or of what we have. They want to control things that are none of their business. There are people who think that in order to get ahead, they must destroy those who they perceive as ahead of them. We encounter people with low self esteem. And yes, some people are simply evil. The best revenge is to cut their balls off. Remove their power over you. Rarely is this not possible, and when it isnt, it is time to fight. But when it is, there is satisfaction for years and you end up on the moral high ground. Press Enter to send Logan Hyde 7 days ago The definition of enemy is a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. So I guess the only enemy I have is the state. As far as individuals I think it might be possible to have no enemies. Because in the definition it says "actively oppossed or hostile". This is a very hard question though. I'm going to say it might be impossible to not have enemies because there will always be someone or some group of people that oppose you or your beliefs. Reply Heather Eisele 7 days ago I have one enemy. My own assumptions. Everyone else, I try very hard to meet where they are or avoid them so they don't become enemies. I think back to all I used to believe and how much energy I threw into the various abysses we're told are important and wonder what else I'm throwing energy into that serves nothing. Reply 👍 1 Katie Nicole 7 days ago About 5 years ago my grandfather and I were having a rare talk about his life and the choices he'd made. His life advice to me was a rally cry. With a fist raised in the air and a sly grin he shouted, "MAKE SOME ENEMIES!" 😄 My grandfather is fairly stoic so this was pretty memorable. I've been thinking more about that lately. He and I are on different sides of the political spectrum so I know he didn't mean people who think the opposite of me are my enemies. Or people who disagree with me. My understanding of his advice as it relates to me was more, "Stand up and make noise sometimes. It's not a bad thing to have people oppose you." Opposition can refine one's stance and clarify one's beliefs. In that sense, I find "making enemies" useful. I'm still actively ruminating on the concept. Membership Plug Make it a great week! GUYS!

This show is dedicated to Mark and Nancy Alexander of School Bell Farms. Long time supporters of the show and our LFTN Community. After a long battle with cancer, Mark passed away last Tuesday at home. We will miss his sarcastic wit, new business ideas, and passion for life and he will love in our memories and every time someone pulls a good practical joke at events. Today, I will share thoughts on victimhood and ways to opt out of the mindset so that you can make the best of what is happening around you. We also celebrate the life of long-time show supporter and friend Mark Alexander of School Bell Farms.

Feeling defeated/helpless vs acting defeated/helpless Predatory people Self worth and perspective Signs that you are in a victim mindset Seeking reassurance, validation and sympathy for things that happen in your life Thinking or saying "I can't" Feeling like the world is against you and you can do nothing about it Taking things personally that are not that at all Listing reasons why offered solutions will never work Just because you change your mindset, does not mean that bad things will not happen, but you can draw more bad things to yourself based on reactions to current trauma - often through self-sabotage, pushing good people away through blame, etc. What you can do: Identify the self-sabotaging behaviors and decide to change what you can (Your reaction to trauma) Leave or change situations that cause harm to you Learn to find what you can do or take responsibility for when bad things "happen to you" Seek outside help to build emotional intelligence Spend time with empowerers and people who are like what you wish to become and cut out the energy vampires - even if they are blood relatives Prioritize yourself Talk about Mark Alexander and why this topic today: 2 year battle with cancer Never stopped pushing for his dream, to support those around him Gave 110% to every day - even days before his last day Making the most of your dash Could have given up but he lived every second he had Wanna honor Mark's memory?

A year and a half ago, I recorded this episode after a VERY HARD first half of 2020. The moment it was released, my whole life changed for the better. We are replaying this episode today as a reminder. A reminder to be the change you need to be for yourself, your family and your community. OLD SHOW NOTES: Tales from the Prepper Pantry We had rain so I hope to do a batch of beets this week Added lamb to the freezer It is time to do the now quarterly freezer defrost and audit - a thing that has been keeping me honest on using stuff up Still drying herbs like mullein flower and bee balm Featured Forrage: Wild Raspberry For berry advice https://nicolesauce.com/2015/06/14/wild-raspberry-summer/ Herbal uses https://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/r/raspbe05.html Tea: high in calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins B, C, and E. Excessive menstruation Antidiahrreal Reduces fevers Operation Independence This whole show is about this topic, really Main topic of the Show: Change It is always there under the surface. Ready to push you just a bit further. Ready to get in your way when you are in your stride. Ready to show you opportunities when you are least ready for them. Always there no matter how much you wish to cling to today and yesterday. Change happens. Many people fear it, hate it, resist it. But change is part of life and if you are living, change is simply something that you must learn to integrate into everything. Because it will happen whether you want it or not. And yet we can guide change, we can shape it and shift it in ways that suit us. Yep. Change is hard but change is also good. I haven't done our usual lftn spring workshop debrief episode this year. You know the one I speak of? Where I run through it session by session and talk about all the things we did and learned and how powerful the community is when we get together? A community of doers… I haven't done this thing because this year was different. Now don't get me wrong, the workshop was fantastic, fun, hard, good, educational, and the community is why this is. But unlike former years where the best outcomes of the workshop were on the surface, this year was different. It was more subtle. The group was both quiet and social and sometimes raucous. The sessions were usually focused and thought provoking. The group had a comfortable companionship about it and conversations tended toward long and deep over surface and short. The whole time the event was happening I was worried that we would not meet the benchmark. You may wonder what the benchmark is. The benchmark for every lftn spring workshop is that at least 1 or 2 people figure things out. They find that it they have been missing. The thing that shows them a way forward toward building the kind of life they want. Usually, this happens quickly and obviously. But not this year. The day after the workshop, Jenni stopped by. You know who I mean. Jenny of Word of the Year Jenni - to get her stuff and she said - I think we turned a corner at the workshop. And she is right. There wasn't one or two "aha" experiences, but rather a more subtle shift for most of us there. Setting the stage for the workshop, we have seen the following in six short months: A strong financial environment to start out the year A scary pandemic illness that brought along with it the following: Population-wide acceptance of the top-down control of private lives. An awakening that people seem to want a crisis really badly - so they won't let go when new information comes to light Acceptance of politically charged narrative on a topic that should not be at all political - both sides have shamelessly used this pandemic to desperately further their agendas with no consideration for the impact on real people A media meltdown - To this day, media is frantically reporting increase in cases with no context on increase in testing, or link to hospital beds needed - the more important measure of the impact of covid. Literally - Tennessee saw it's largest spike in cases the same day that they also finalized testing of all people in all old folks facilities, for example. Government overreach in the form of shutting down private businesses - you can say what you want about if it was or was not the right move, but it was an overreach and court cases are starting to show this Destruction of our livelihoods, retirement accounts, educational facilities, ability to travel, and autonomy Racially - charged, divisiveness in a world where I truly believe most of us want to coexist -- followed by rioting to further the clear division between a and b, 1 and 0, r and d, because that is the only way to control us A recession that very well may melt into a depression, especially if the masses continue to let the oligarchy that runs this country bring us to ruin lest they lose power As a group, we had people facing sudden loss of jobs, income, business revenue - paired with people who are still doing basically ok, and even some who have seen growt

It was May 20, 2016. That day that I got a wild hair. I had created a world for myself that was pure misery. I had founded a nonprofit around my passion, but put myself in a role of administrator, not the person delivering the very services I loved providing. There was absolutely no creative outlet. Worse, I was supposed to be a catalyst for change toward the better and was watching the country backslide away from increased freedom to an alarmingly fascist government. I thought, why not? Why not start a podcast and talk about increasing your ability to live a life you love, to have more stability, to tap into opportunities that others may not see? So I did and I got EIGHTY downloads. The next day I got 14 and one of them was my mother. Who knew that five years later, after lots of joy, hardships, slaps in the face, heartbreak, new friendships, and help from all of you -- we would reach episode 500. Today, we celebrate this milestone with content from y'all. Thank you for making our community so strong, for lifting each other up, and for sticking with me through thick and thin.

Operation Independence Considering adding sheep to the Holler Homestead - will keep everyone updated. Main topic of the Show: Living Off Your Homestead Last night I was up most of the night because Coyotes were too close for comfort. Every time they caught something in the woods, they would put up a cheer. My dogs would lose their minds barking in response. Why was I disturbed by this? Well, we have a bunch of turkeys outside that we are raising for a friend and that are sleeping out in the open and they electro netting stopped working. It would take nothing for a Coyote to just push through that and eat all the turkey they want. I have already sold most of these turkeys and would have to refund the money, and would then lose that because it is already spent on turkey feed and infrastructure. That got me to thinking - we always talk about being prepared for the things most likely to happen such as: Short term supply shortages Tornado related problems Ice storms Loss of income Illness But what would happen if any of these things went on longer. Throughout the history of the US, at least every 100 years, we have ad something last longer than a season and cause difficulties in resupply.

Today I go on a tear about sticking to principles when the sticking gets tough. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Found about 10 more steaks! Ready to consolidate freezers down to two Fridge for sale Freeze Drying Basil and other herbs Operation Independence Lodge Warehouse Sale The Bathtub Main topic of the Show: Principles Today started with a video of a OBGYN from a year ago about an anti abortion bill that would charge Dr.'s with murder who do not attempt to re-implant ectopic pregnancies. This is a pregnancy where the egg does not make it to the uterus. And this got me to thinking about big picture principles and how we tend to take discourse from principles to extreme examples in an effort to "win" the argument on issues. She basically landed on the message, "Get politics out of medicine." Yesterday on a long drive, I heard Nurse Amy from https://www.doomandbloom.net/ defend he choice to get vaccinated - a decision she has grown to regret. Her credibility was attacked from someone who is against the vax. She landed on Get the Politics Out of Medicine. Then I remembered a discussion with a doctor I had who wanted to prescribe Ivermectin, a known antiviral used on humans to help early onset Covid because the research indicated it may help and the risk level of negative impacts from the medicine are unlikely. Pharmacists are refusing to fill it because it is not approved for use in treating covid -- an off-label use. This doctor just wants to see the politics taken out of medicine. Then it struck me. The last 2 years have done something I had not realized. It is not about whether or not politics are in medicine. It is what people are willing to accept from their medical care. A decade ago, it would have been impossible to implement socialized medicine in this country (referred to under new marketing as "single payer"). Want to know why? Nobody would have accepted so much meddling in their treatments, in who does and does not deserve medical help, in long delays for important screenings and procedures, and in off label use for medications. In other countries where medicine is socialized, people are willing to wait months for that cancer screening without raising a fuss. They are willing to accept that elderly do not get the same access to something like heart surgery or limb replacement as a younger person. They buy into rationing of care by a politically appointed governing body, and are resigned to how that works. In fact, they are thankful that their care is "free," and mystified about how our "free-market" system (That is neither free nor market based by a long shot) can be accepted by people. All this while citizens of their locations travel here to get those delayed screenings faster by paying up front for them. By enacting draconian shut down, implementing control over what can and cannot be used to treat covid, firing healthcare staff who choose not to accept an emerging vaccination, rationing monoclonal antibody supplies for political reasons, and everything else that has happened -- expectations of those who use healthcare have changed their expectations. They are now OK with letting their loved ones go into the system without an advocate under the guise of "protections." They will wait weeks or months for screenings because of "staffing shortages." They buy into government bodies who know nothing about practicing medicine making decisions about what can be used to treat an emerging virus, thus stifling progress and innovation in favor of trumping up their corporate sponsors. And these same people screech when something is put forth to change the when and how that a woman can receive treatment for pregnancy-related issues like not allowing treatment of an ectopic pregnancy. Freedom for me but not for thee. We need to step above this. To embrace something better. The ends CANNOT justify the means even if it is in service of something good lest they be aimed for evil by another. When we empower force of government to relieve people of their property, their freedom, their bodily autonomy in favor of achieving goals we think are important like: Curing addiction (drug war) Paying for the community (Involuntary taxation) Dictating what medications may be used for what (Medical socialization) When we choose our pet project, like ending poverty then outsource the implementation to a committee of special interests, we simply make things worse for everyone. And the last two years have reframed what people are willing to accept. Shortages of supplies? Sure. Forced shots to be able to travel? Bring it. Bullying toward people who do not adhere to the current-day's accepted social protocols? RIGHT ON! When you support any of these things, you support all of them, so be careful. Next up will be this: Climate change is a danger and overpopulation adds to the problem. Women must now take birth control or be sterilized to address this issue. Wait. no. If we do that society will not continue -- only the women with und
