I remember reading about people who collect and sell mistletoe. This article is from 1985 and mentions a way that the author says is better than using a shotgun: Mistletoe Money Cold cash really does grow on trees-but you have to be willing to go out on a limb for it. by Melinda Allan Last December, I earned $525 in just 12 days selling mistletoe here in Eugene, Oregon. And since this popular holiday symbol grows wild in many parts of the country and can usually be gathered for free, chances are you can do at least as well marketing mistletoe in your own community.

I'm on the do not call list. Lately I've been getting a lot of phone calls I regard as junk: (1) Asking about magazines received in the mail damaged or missing (2) Recordings about lowering credit card interest rates Does anyone else get these? Is there a way to stop these calls?

It's sounds like a fun idea.

From the article: So, let's make it clear: PETA -- which is known for taking provocative positions in its fight to protect animals -- continues to oppose the slaughter of horses for meat. But it says that allowing the reopening of U.S. slaughterhouses may ultimately reduce the animals' suffering. A better alternative, PETA says, is to ban both the domestic slaughter of horses and the export of horses for slaughter. "PETA was always worried about the horse-slaughter bill, fearing that it might cause more suffering while the option existed to ship horses on a frightening, long, and m

From the article on the Pet Finder's website:

This is posted on the Pet Finders website. The copyright date is 2003 so the numbers may have changed somewhat, but it talks about the history ... Origins of Horsemeat Common in pre-Christian Europe, hippophagia - the consumption of horsemeat - was considered unclean under Mosaic law, and the meat was never consumed in Islamic or Jewish countries. Sacrificed by the Celts and consumed during their pagan ceremonies, the steeds' first crusader was Pope Gregory III who, in 732 AD, exhorted his clergy "to help stamp out this execrable practice." From the Middle Ages onward, horsemeat

Doug Mizell has been working with using kudzu as a source of ethanol for a while. Georgia is one of the states he mentions in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhYux3QIJgo

This article suggests that everyone could benefit. The author believes kudzu could become a supplemental source of income for many. He also mentions having inmates harvest the kudzu: Kudzu: America's next cash crop? By Hernando Today Published: January 20, 2010 As six ethanol plants sit idle in the United States, I would like to make a proposal that would open these plants, create millions of barrels of biofuel and thousands of private-sector jobs, pump a significant amount of money into our economy and, at the same time, restore millions of acres of dying forests.

Thanks. I know you can use Dragon for speaking commands to your pc and that you talk and it will type. Does it also do text to speech; can it read a page of text to you, etc.?

Here's some info from cnet.com/. Text to voice is listed along with some speech recognition software: http://download.cnet.com/windows/voice-recognition-software/

Do you remember which version that was? On their website they have a free version. Their current prices on the paid versions are: $49.50 for Personal, $99.50 for Professional, and $199.50 for Ultimate. They also have some versions for students.

This is one brand of text to speech software. It looks interesting. Have any of you used it or another company's? http://www.naturalreaders.com/index.htm Edited to add: Note I added "IT READS OUTLOUD" to the thread's title, and I am adding a video. At the Natural Reader website above there's a text box. You can try it without downloading anything. Type text in the box and select the speaker and speed and it will read it outloud. (I choose Heather.) Tutorials are posted there also. Here's some info from their website: What is NaturalReader? NaturalReader is a Text

I would like a Mayberry!

Congratulations! When I lived in another state a woman's oldest child---a son was 29 years old when her yougest child---a daughter was born. I wonder what the record is for the most years between the youngest and oldest child?

Is one any better than the other? Who sells them?
