[Guest guest]

I can only guess that is embarassed to ask as she has posted on facebook

that she is in need of the following and here is the facebook page that has it

on there, So since its public I don't think she will mind what she has posted on

facebook. Maybe she can get someone on here to help.

's home to heal, with safe air, safe food, safe water & safe clothes

to Dianne: " I think I have about a week to find a house and property out

of town that could be made safe enough for me for healing by the time I have to

be out of here.

Otherwise the folks in the city will be pursuing what amounts to something like

a concrete bunker and palliative care, as I won't be able to get ...outside and

will require ongoing assistance with shopping and everything else.

So if people could pull out all the stops trying to locate a place within the

guidelines and boundaries that were mentioned, to find the safest area with

access to organic foods and a house that is workable...

And now that it's hitting the freezing mark outside, this house is just not warm

enough, even wearing everything I own that is safe enough to wear.

The shivering creates more stress, using up more energy, and I don't have

reserves to draw from.

All I need is a lot of help

's Financial Plan for a House

Friday, November 27, 2009 at 10:42pm

to Dianne:

As for the house, the deal is from the current landlord, but it has been on very

shaky ground. They made the promise in one of the newspaper articles, but there

have been huge obstacles turning it to reality, since houses that are for sale

(or rent) are so toxic that only someone experienced with severe MCS builds

would be qualified to assess and make changes to anyplace so that it could be

remotely safe enough for me to live in.

The budget for the " new " house, inclusive of land, closing costs and any

required renovations, is $200,000.00.

They will then rent it to me for $500 mo. including utilities.

Until last week, we were unable to find an experienced and qualified expert to

oversee any and all changes that would need to be done to a place to make it

safe enough for me to live, not just die, with the conditions that the

landlord's offer had.

As of last week, the expert is now on board, willing to work without making a

profit, (he still needs to be paid - I don't have the right words to explain)

but the budget is very tight and finding a house that isn't completely toxic to

work with, in an area that would allow me to go outside, has been next to

impossible. "

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

to Dianne in another email:

" Re: the money for the house. The landlord is going to spend that money. They

are going to maintain ownership of the house and rent it to me.

Not ideal, as I also owe them /will owe them $25,000 because of the situation

they set up here. But it is what I have to work with now.

Maybe one day someone friendlier will offer to buy it from them and rent it to

me at that subsidized rent.

There isn't time to fundraise in order to build a new house by the time I have

to leave here in April. Building new and custom to my MCS/EHS would have been

the preferable way, but we've run out of time and a reno is what we have barely

enough time for.

But we need to find the place very soon. We need people searching, so Kathi can

stop doing that to co-ordinate all the other things I need help with. She can't

do both/all.

So the urgent financial donations right now are for glass bottled drinking water

until a time when the water filter is installed and working for me ($179 for 18

bottles if purchased in advance 2 x a month until I can use the tap water), the

water filtration and installation (and any fixes that might be needed with the

abominable plumbing in this house), $???, the washing machine - $750+ taxes etc

and someone to clean the machine to make it safe for me, and the clothing (which

I haven't calculated). An MCS/EHS safe computer keyboard and mouse would also be

appreciated as these are on their last legs.

I think $5000 would cover all that aplenty. ???

Possibly also a few things to make this house safer for me to be in, but I would

need my expert to make recommendations on that, what can be done to make a

difference and how much it would cost. "

Written about 2 weeks ago

Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 7:33pm

From to Dianne:

Dianne,

I need a safe home where I can heal, with safe air, safe food, safe water and

safe clothes. And I'll need help getting my food etc for at least 3 months after

I move.

Kathi can keep you updated on what we are looking for. I'm including the home's

details and search parameters below, and if you can share that with your

facebook friends, so that everyone can help look, that would be great. Maybe

someone knows of a place that would be suitable that can be made safe enough.

We have about a couple of weeks

to find something that the likes of which

has not been seen in 3 years on MLS.

We finally have confirmation that the building expert I need will help make a

place as safe as possible under the budget constraints we have, but finding a

place is beyond me, and the people who have been looking.

There has only been one place since the end of 2006 that could have worked and

that disappeared before I could get up to see it. Now I can't even go anywhere

safely - I have no safe warm clothes to wear, which means if I go, I will be

quite sick by the time I get there and recovery will be very difficult.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hospitalization is not an option, it would kill me. I can't even visit a DR

anymore. There are no safe enough offices, and since I cannot afford the IV's of

supplements that could help, or the naturopathic health services testing, health

care is not accessible at all.

My options are few and far between and I barely have the energy left to survive

never mind fight to try to get help. I'm pretty well spent. This has gone on too

long and the mould here is destroying any positive energy I would otherwise be

able to muster. Mould is really bad for the brain. And all the dead leaves

areound the house are just making it worse.

I am completely dependent on others right now for everything outside the home. I

have to cook from scratch and clean for myself and look after my cats, and spend

some time on the computer. That is it.

I have trouble washing dishes and having showers and require recovery time from

each of those so I'll do one one day, the other the other day, and hopefully

cook on the 3rd day. I don't have clean clothing to wear after a shower. My

bedding and towels do not get washed. When it gets colder I won't be able to

take my garbage, recycling or green bin to the curb anymore, as I have only

these summer clothes on my back, and my coat is too contaminated to put over

these since I cannot wash these. The one pair of safe socks I have is getting

holes in them and will wear thru soon.

There is no place else to go for me - everyone uses too many chemicals, even the

HFS so called natural products are full of chemicals and contamination. Other

MCSers either don't have space or are affected differently and can't share.

My only hope is if enough people care enough to help with everything I need now,

so that I can live long enough to move from here, and to find a place that can

be made safe enough in the budget and to get me moved there. But, people seem to

think that my needs are excessive, and optional or luxury items, that since they

cannot afford to have these things, that I shouldn't have them, despite

requiring them medically in order to survive.

So between that and the mould, I just don't have a lot of energy or hope left in

me. I just do not know enough people who want to or who can contribute enough to

get me on the road to recovery. And if I have to keep writing and begging

strangers for help, I don't have the energy left to even sweep the floors here.

I just can't do it anymore. I get no pleasure from asking people to do these

things for me that they wouldn't even do for themselves.

GOOD HOMES LIST

1. bungalow (preferred) with unfinished or slab basement (slab is best)

2. no air fresheners, scented candles, indoor smoking or in house pesticide

applications

3. no plastic/vinyl siding OR recent renovations

4. acerage with sunny food garden potential,

5. away from nearby houses, rail, hydro lines, cell towers, agricultural or golf

course pesticides and fertilizers, and other air pollution

6. vacant /unoccupied, unless they have MCS and or use only natural

fragrance-free products and materials

7. electric heat preferred ... no in-floor heat... electric/wood can be upgraded

to just electric, and forced air can be changed over to electric (if necessary

for a good house)

8. room to use as vented appliance room (i.e. laundry room near kitchen)

9. with unpaved driveway and garage

10. within one hour of a year-round source of organic food and produce not in a

supermarket

11. the house should probably be at least 15 years old (for the formaldehyde to

have offgassed enough) and have no mould/mildew/damp issues.

Any carpet, laminate flooring, plastic tubs and surrounds would have to be

removed and replaced so the purchase budget would drop and reno budget rise

accordingly.

The TOTAL budget is $200,000 which includes closing costs and renovation, so

unless the house is built solid and chemical free - owned by an MCSer or people

who cleaned with baking soda and borax and didn't use pesticides etc, the

purchase price will need to be up to $50,000 under to allow for some major

changes.

The wish list is for a modest 3 bdrm brick bungalow with a garage and a barn and

a bunkie and a gazebo in a fair sized clearing surrounded by acres of wooded and

not built up land with a couple of fenced in veggie gardens already in place. I

need the barn for the goat and chickens who will keep my lawn maintained.

I think my main thing is I need space away from people and pollution. With some

good sunny space for some veggie gardens. I need a fair amount of " privacy " from

pollution.

I also need a decent working kitchen, where I have room to learn canning and

dehydrating etc, and a way to create a vented appliance room beside the kitchen,

maybe 2 vented appliance rooms so food and laundry don't mix.

outbuildings - garage and a vented storage that isn't in the garage - maybe

that's the 3rd bedroom?, and a visitors bunkie would be good.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The search area is this:

While avoiding local industry, agriculture, rail and power transmission lines,

cell towers, as well as major touristy beaches, golf courses, etc, but having

organic food accessible, not from a supermarket or highly fragranced health food

store:

SOUTHERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 7 to the south

Hwy 12 up and over Lake Simcoe from 7

EASTERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 41 to the east

NORTHERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 60 at the north (between 11 in the west and 41 in the east)

(It doesn't look like there's any hwy from 124 east of 11 through the Kearney

area between 11 and 60, which would take you along the SW area of Algonquin

Park.)

north to Sundrige/South River and hwy 124 (which is south of North Bay)

WESTERN BOUNDARY

west and over to Parry Sound along 124

(provided there is a year round source of SAFE fragrance chemical free organic

food within an hour)

south along 400/69 back to Hwy 12 /Lake Simcoe

Between Madoc and Perth around hwy 7 is Sharbot Lake where they are planning

(and fighting) uranium mining. Chalk River /Pembroke to the north of there also

have uranium issues. Those places are out.

Is there an easier way to write this boundary description and the basic house

list, so it can be sent far and wide?

$109 for set Natural

http://www.rawganique.com/MP1.htm

How are these hemp pajamas different?

Europe from certified organic hemp (with flax linen for structure).

Sweatshop-free. Chemical-free. The fabric is a soft 45% hemp/55% linen jersey

knit in a light sweater weight. Both hemp and linen fibers are hollow at the

core, providing very good insulation in the winter and breath-ability in the

warmer months. They are sustainably and mindfully made our fragile planet in

mind.

• What are the features?

o $109 for set: top & bottom.

o Long-sleeve V neck top.

o Elastic waistband bottom; if desired, a hemp shoelace can easily be inserted

Bathrobes

http://www.rawganique.com/BArobe.htm

Our Organic Cotton, Linen, & Hemp Bathrobes are the kind of robe you would see

Cary Grant or Gloria Swanson lounging in, except their glamour comes as much

from the designer styling as from the 100% organic cotton terry, organic cotton

& European hemp terry, or organic cotton & organic linen terry they're made of.

Our organic bath robes are also free from all chemicals at all stages of

production:

cultivation, processing, and manufacturing (all too often, factories producing

organic products regrettably use formaldehyde and other highly toxic chemicals

to wrinkle-proof organic cotton fabrics, thereby defeating the purpose of

organic certification in the first place — our organic products are

triple-certified, meaning that they are made from organically grown, processed,

and manufactured cotton).

Our organic bathrobes are made in Europe under fair labor conditions (no sweat

shop, slave or bonded labor, or underwaged-child labor involved at any stage of

production). GMO-free, bleach-free, dye-free

BArobe 1A: Organic Hemp Bathrobe 35% organic hemp/65% organic cotton

XS/Unisize $189

• BArobe 1A Organic Hemp Terry Bathrobe:

This is our heftiest organic terry bathrobe. The terry fabric's weight is 720

grams per square meter (in comparison, conventional towels usually come in

between 200-400 grams per square meter). The color is off-white on the beige

side. (65% organic hemp/35% org cotton) Rare as can be. A truly special product.

BArobe 1B: Organic Linen Bathrobe 35% organic linen/65% organic cotton

XS/Unisize $199

• • BArobe 1B Organic Linen Terry Bathrobe:

Same weight and similar feel and texture to the hemp terry bathrobe, but the

natural color of linen is quite a bit darker: more on the grey/beige side. (65%

organic linen/35% org cotton). Rare and special. To our knowledge, we're the

only producer on earth of organic Irish linen terry bathrobe.

Unisex Organic Linen Terry Jackets & Sweat Pants

seem to be the safest outerwear available right now

Due to high demand, we are now sold out of some sizes. Here is what we have in

stock:

Jacket: P, XS, S. M, XL, XXL

Pants: P, XS, M, XXL

The first thing you notice after having worn our new RG745 Organic Linen Terry

Jacket and Sweat Pants for just a couple of minutes is how incredibly warm they

are for an all-natural-fiber outerwear. Our exclusive organic linen terry fabric

truly exemplifies the legendary virtues of hollow-core baste fibers such as hemp

and flax linen: they are breathable and very good insulators (they trap your own

body heat to keep you warm and toasty even in very cold climates; in warmer

climates, they wick away moisture at a fast clip, keeping you cozy without being

trapped in perspiration).

They are warm, cozy, fuzzy, and incredibly comfortable to wear when the chill

factor goes up in late summer/early fall all the way through to early spring.

They are one of our warmest jackets: practical, handsome, and sustainable.

The Organic Linen Terry Jackets have just enough of a collar to keep you warm

when zipped up but not too much to be in the way. The collar of our organic

linen jackets are lined with a soft, unbleached, & undyed 100% organic flax

linen fabric where the jacket touches the skin on your neck.

FT401 Unisex " Allergy Crew " Organic Cotton Socks

99.98% certified organic cotton; 0.2% Lycra (at the top only). We are happy to

carry the world's highest percentage of organic cotton socks per our customers'

request. Since there isn't much elastic to hold up these rare and unique organic

cotton socks, we offer them in four sizes to accommodate different foot sizes.

Designed specifically for chemically sensitive customers, the Allergy Crew

Organic Cotton socks aren't as hugging as the other organic cotton socks on this

page, but for many, that's just a small price to pay for having really pure

organic cotton socks. Designed especially for people suffering from multiple

chemical sensitivities.

Composition: 99.98% organic cotton; 0.2% Lycra (high-grade elastic)

Vegan Organic Hemp & Flax Linen Socks

Medium $10.00

Description: Made from a very special 42% hemp and 58% flax linen knit blend

with just a hint of elastic at the cuffs for a snug wrap-around, our cozy hemp |

flax socks (shown above) are your best bet if you are looking for the most

natural, pure, and ecologically sustainable socks. The certified organic hemp

and flax are grown and processed without chemicals or pesticides of any kind in

Romania. Elegant in the classic jersey knit, these socks are wonderfully

versatile: they are great as casual or dress socks.

These beautiful hemp/flax socks are very popular with customers who are

chemically-sensitive or chemically-averse as well as customers who are looking

for socks that are vegan and as synthetic- and chemical-free as can be. More

info at bottom of page. Please scroll down to buy. Read about natural dyes.

Composition: 42%hemp; 58% flax linen

Colors:

• Natural

• naturally-dyed Oak Brown (above, third from left)

• naturally-dyed Bilberry (above, left)

•

A note on hemp/flax sox: Since they don't contain any elastic except for the few

strands at the cuffs, these socks are not to be compared with " conventional "

socks which are laden with elastic to make them form-fitting. The hemp/flax

socks really are great but may take a little getting used to (be sure to get the

right size). You'll appreciate the sturdy and solid texture and durability of

these socks, thanks to the hemp and flax—the two strongest fibers we know. You

won't find a more eco-friendly pair of socks anywhere.

Hemp Household Slippers

Chemically sensitive customers have also reported great results with these

low-impact hemp slippers, so much so that many use them outdoors as well as

these hemp slippers are the only ones many multiple chemical sensitivities

customers can tolerate.

Slippers feature a free hemp zippered storage pouch which is very handy for

storage and travel.

Made from 100% hemp canvas from organic European hemp.

stock:

Pants: P, XS, M, XXL

The first thing you notice after having worn our new RG745 Organic Linen Terry

Jacket and Sweat Pants for just a couple of minutes is how incredibly warm they

are for an all-natural-fiber outerwear. Our exclusive organic linen terry fabric

truly exemplifies the legendary virtues of hollow-core baste fibers such as hemp

and flax linen: they are breathable and very good insulators (they trap your own

body heat to keep you warm and toasty even in very cold climates; in warmer

climates, they wick away moisture at a fast clip, keeping you cozy without being

trapped in perspiration).

They are warm, cozy, fuzzy, and incredibly comfortable to wear when the chill

factor goes up in late summer/early fall all the way through to early spring.

They are one of our warmest jackets: practical, handsome, and sustainable.

The Organic Linen Terry Jackets have just enough of a collar to keep you warm

when zipped up but not too much to be in the way. The collar of our organic

linen jackets are lined with a soft, unbleached, & undyed 100% organic flax

linen fabric where the jacket touches the skin on your neck.

cotton socks, we offer them in four sizes to accommodate different foot sizes.

Designed specifically for chemically sensitive customers, the Allergy Crew

Organic Cotton socks aren't as hugging as the other organic cotton socks on this

page, but for many, that's just a small price to pay for having really pure

organic cotton socks. Designed especially for people suffering from multiple

chemical sensitivities.

Vegan Organic Hemp & Flax Linen Socks

Medium $10.00

Description: Made from a very special 42% hemp and 58% flax linen knit blend

with just a hint of elastic at the cuffs for a snug wrap-around, our cozy hemp |

flax socks (shown above) are your best bet if you are looking for the most

natural, pure, and ecologically sustainable socks. The certified organic hemp

and flax are grown and processed without chemicals or pesticides of any kind in

Romania. Elegant in the classic jersey knit, these socks are wonderfully

versatile: they are great as casual or dress socks.

These beautiful hemp/flax socks are very popular with customers who are

chemically-sensitive or chemically-averse as well as customers who are looking

for socks that are vegan and as synthetic- and chemical-free as can be. More

info at bottom of page. Please scroll down to buy. Read about natural dyes.

Composition: 42%hemp; 58% flax linen

Colors:

• Natural

• naturally-dyed Oak Brown (above, third from left)

• naturally-dyed Bilberry (above, left)

A note on hemp/flax sox: Since they don't contain any elastic except for the few

strands at the cuffs, these socks are not to be compared with " conventional "

socks which are laden with elastic to make them form-fitting. The hemp/flax

socks really are great but may take a little getting used to (be sure to get the

right size). You'll appreciate the sturdy and solid texture and durability of

these socks, thanks to the hemp and flax—the two strongest fibers we know. You

won't find a more eco-friendly pair of socks anywhere.

Hemp Household Slippers

Chemically sensitive customers have also reported great results with these

low-impact hemp slippers, so much so that many use them outdoors as well as

these hemp slippers are the only ones many multiple chemical sensitivities

customers can tolerate.

storage and travel.

Made from 100% hemp canvas from organic European hemp.

's Financial Plan for a House

Friday, November 27, 2009 at 10:42pm

to Dianne:

As for the house, the deal is from the current landlord, but it has been on very

shaky ground. They made the promise in one of the newspaper articles, but there

have been huge obstacles turning it to reality, since houses that are for sale

(or rent) are so toxic that only someone experienced with severe MCS builds

would be qualified to assess and make changes to anyplace so that it could be

remotely safe enough for me to live in.

The budget for the " new " house, inclusive of land, closing costs and any

required renovations, is $200,000.00.

They will then rent it to me for $500 mo. including utilities.

Until last week, we were unable to find an experienced and qualified expert to

oversee any and all changes that would need to be done to a place to make it

safe enough for me to live, not just die, with the conditions that the

landlord's offer had.

As of last week, the expert is now on board, willing to work without making a

profit, (he still needs to be paid - I don't have the right words to explain)

but the budget is very tight and finding a house that isn't completely toxic to

work with, in an area that would allow me to go outside, has been next to

impossible. "

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

to Dianne in another email:

" Re: the money for the house. The landlord is going to spend that money. They

are going to maintain ownership of the house and rent it to me.

Not ideal, as I also owe them /will owe them $25,000 because of the situation

they set up here. But it is what I have to work with now.

Maybe one day someone friendlier will offer to buy it from them and rent it to

me at that subsidized rent.

There isn't time to fundraise in order to build a new house by the time I have

to leave here in April. Building new and custom to my MCS/EHS would have been

the preferable way, but we've run out of time and a reno is what we have barely

enough time for.

But we need to find the place very soon. We need people searching, so Kathi can

stop doing that to co-ordinate all the other things I need help with. She can't

do both/all.

So the urgent financial donations right now are for glass bottled drinking water

until a time when the water filter is installed and working for me ($179 for 18

bottles if purchased in advance 2 x a month until I can use the tap water), the

water filtration and installation (and any fixes that might be needed with the

abominable plumbing in this house), $???, the washing machine - $750+ taxes etc

and someone to clean the machine to make it safe for me, and the clothing (which

I haven't calculated). An MCS/EHS safe computer keyboard and mouse would also be

appreciated as these are on their last legs.

I think $5000 would cover all that aplenty. ???

Possibly also a few things to make this house safer for me to be in, but I would

need my expert to make recommendations on that, what can be done to make a

difference and how much it would cost. "

Written about 2 weeks ago

Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 7:33pm

From to Dianne:

Dianne,

I need a safe home where I can heal, with safe air, safe food, safe water and

safe clothes. And I'll need help getting my food etc for at least 3 months after

I move.

Kathi can keep you updated on what we are looking for. I'm including the home's

details and search parameters below, and if you can share that with your

facebook friends, so that everyone can help look, that would be great. Maybe

someone knows of a place that would be suitable that can be made safe enough.

We have about a couple of weeks

to find something that the likes of which

has not been seen in 3 years on MLS.

We finally have confirmation that the building expert I need will help make a

place as safe as possible under the budget constraints we have, but finding a

place is beyond me, and the people who have been looking.

There has only been one place since the end of 2006 that could have worked and

that disappeared before I could get up to see it. Now I can't even go anywhere

safely - I have no safe warm clothes to wear, which means if I go, I will be

quite sick by the time I get there and recovery will be very difficult.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hospitalization is not an option, it would kill me. I can't even visit a DR

anymore. There are no safe enough offices, and since I cannot afford the IV's of

supplements that could help, or the naturopathic health services testing, health

care is not accessible at all.

My options are few and far between and I barely have the energy left to survive

never mind fight to try to get help. I'm pretty well spent. This has gone on too

long and the mould here is destroying any positive energy I would otherwise be

able to muster. Mould is really bad for the brain. And all the dead leaves

areound the house are just making it worse.

I am completely dependent on others right now for everything outside the home. I

have to cook from scratch and clean for myself and look after my cats, and spend

some time on the computer. That is it.

I have trouble washing dishes and having showers and require recovery time from

each of those so I'll do one one day, the other the other day, and hopefully

cook on the 3rd day. I don't have clean clothing to wear after a shower. My

bedding and towels do not get washed. When it gets colder I won't be able to

take my garbage, recycling or green bin to the curb anymore, as I have only

these summer clothes on my back, and my coat is too contaminated to put over

these since I cannot wash these. The one pair of safe socks I have is getting

holes in them and will wear thru soon.

There is no place else to go for me - everyone uses too many chemicals, even the

HFS so called natural products are full of chemicals and contamination. Other

MCSers either don't have space or are affected differently and can't share.

My only hope is if enough people care enough to help with everything I need now,

so that I can live long enough to move from here, and to find a place that can

be made safe enough in the budget and to get me moved there. But, people seem to

think that my needs are excessive, and optional or luxury items, that since they

cannot afford to have these things, that I shouldn't have them, despite

requiring them medically in order to survive.

So between that and the mould, I just don't have a lot of energy or hope left in

me. I just do not know enough people who want to or who can contribute enough to

get me on the road to recovery. And if I have to keep writing and begging

strangers for help, I don't have the energy left to even sweep the floors here.

I just can't do it anymore. I get no pleasure from asking people to do these

things for me that they wouldn't even do for themselves.

GOOD HOMES LIST

1. bungalow (preferred) with unfinished or slab basement (slab is best)

2. no air fresheners, scented candles, indoor smoking or in house pesticide

applications

3. no plastic/vinyl siding OR recent renovations

4. acerage with sunny food garden potential,

5. away from nearby houses, rail, hydro lines, cell towers, agricultural or golf

course pesticides and fertilizers, and other air pollution

6. vacant /unoccupied, unless they have MCS and or use only natural

fragrance-free products and materials

7. electric heat preferred ... no in-floor heat... electric/wood can be upgraded

to just electric, and forced air can be changed over to electric (if necessary

for a good house)

8. room to use as vented appliance room (i.e. laundry room near kitchen)

9. with unpaved driveway and garage

10. within one hour of a year-round source of organic food and produce not in a

supermarket

11. the house should probably be at least 15 years old (for the formaldehyde to

have offgassed enough) and have no mould/mildew/damp issues.

Any carpet, laminate flooring, plastic tubs and surrounds would have to be

removed and replaced so the purchase budget would drop and reno budget rise

accordingly.

The TOTAL budget is $200,000 which includes closing costs and renovation, so

unless the house is built solid and chemical free - owned by an MCSer or people

who cleaned with baking soda and borax and didn't use pesticides etc, the

purchase price will need to be up to $50,000 under to allow for some major

changes.

The wish list is for a modest 3 bdrm brick bungalow with a garage and a barn and

a bunkie and a gazebo in a fair sized clearing surrounded by acres of wooded and

not built up land with a couple of fenced in veggie gardens already in place. I

need the barn for the goat and chickens who will keep my lawn maintained.

I think my main thing is I need space away from people and pollution. With some

good sunny space for some veggie gardens. I need a fair amount of " privacy " from

pollution.

I also need a decent working kitchen, where I have room to learn canning and

dehydrating etc, and a way to create a vented appliance room beside the kitchen,

maybe 2 vented appliance rooms so food and laundry don't mix.

outbuildings - garage and a vented storage that isn't in the garage - maybe

that's the 3rd bedroom?, and a visitors bunkie would be good.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The search area is this:

While avoiding local industry, agriculture, rail and power transmission lines,

cell towers, as well as major touristy beaches, golf courses, etc, but having

organic food accessible, not from a supermarket or highly fragranced health food

store:

SOUTHERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 7 to the south

Hwy 12 up and over Lake Simcoe from 7

EASTERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 41 to the east

NORTHERN BOUNDARY

Hwy 60 at the north (between 11 in the west and 41 in the east)

(It doesn't look like there's any hwy from 124 east of 11 through the Kearney

area between 11 and 60, which would take you along the SW area of Algonquin

Park.)

north to Sundrige/South River and hwy 124 (which is south of North Bay)

WESTERN BOUNDARY

west and over to Parry Sound along 124

(provided there is a year round source of SAFE fragrance chemical free organic

food within an hour)

south along 400/69 back to Hwy 12 /Lake Simcoe

Between Madoc and Perth around hwy 7 is Sharbot Lake where they are planning

(and fighting) uranium mining. Chalk River /Pembroke to the north of there also

have uranium issues. Those places are out.

Is there an easier way to write this boundary description and the basic house

list, so it can be sent far and wide?

Rawganique has listed a number of articles as being chemical free.

Chemical free clothing has the most chance of success.

Most organic cotton clothing either includes the seed or is still processed with

chemicals and I’ve not been able to detox most of those things. Others say

free of “harsh†chemicals. I suspect that I will have trouble with those.

Bathrobes

Our organic bath robes are also free from all chemicals at all stages of

production:

cultivation, processing, and manufacturing (all too often, factories producing

organic products regrettably use formaldehyde and other highly toxic chemicals

to wrinkle-proof organic cotton fabrics, thereby defeating the purpose of

organic certification in the first place — our organic products are

triple-certified, meaning that they are made from organically grown, processed,

and manufactured cotton).

Our organic bathrobes are made in Europe under fair labor conditions (no sweat

shop, slave or bonded labor, or underwaged-child labor involved at any stage of

production). GMO-free, bleach-free, dye-free

strands at the cuffs, these socks are not to be compared with " conventional "

socks which are laden with elastic to make them form-fitting. The hemp/flax

socks really are great but may take a little getting used to (be sure to get the

right size). You'll appreciate the sturdy and solid texture and durability of

these socks, thanks to the hemp and flax—the two strongest fibers we know. You

won't find a more eco-friendly pair of socks anywhere.

From to Dianne:

I need chemical free clothes (very expensive)

and a way to wash them, a heavy duty, all metal,

portable washing machine,

as I cannot use the basement laundry room here

anymore due to the mould.

I cannot use the tap water

and the glass bottled spring water is expensive and heavy.

Rawganique Clothing

http://www.rawganique.com/

Rawganique has listed a number of articles as being chemical free.

Chemical free clothing has the most chance of success.

Most organic cotton clothing either includes the seed or is still processed with

chemicals and I’ve not been able to detox most of those things. Others say

free of “harsh†chemicals. I suspect that I will have trouble with those.

Europe from certified organic hemp (with flax linen for structure).

Sweatshop-free. Chemical-free. The fabric is a soft 45% hemp/55% linen jersey

knit in a light sweater weight. Both hemp and linen fibers are hollow at the

core, providing very good insulation in the winter and breath-ability in the

warmer months. They are sustainably and mindfully made our fragile planet in

mind.

• What are the features?

o $109 for set: top & bottom.

o Long-sleeve V neck top.

o Elastic waistband bottom; if desired, a hemp shoelace can easily be inserted

in its place to make elastic-free drawstring pants.

thermal bottoms to layer under other clothing in winter climes.

Bathrobes

http://www.rawganique.com/BArobe.htm

Our Organic Cotton, Linen, & Hemp Bathrobes are the kind of robe you would see

Cary Grant or Gloria Swanson lounging in, except their glamour comes as much

from the designer styling as from the 100% organic cotton terry, organic cotton

& European hemp terry, or organic cotton & organic linen terry they're made of.

Our organic bath robes are also free from all chemicals at all stages of

production:

cultivation, processing, and manufacturing (all too often, factories producing

organic products regrettably use formaldehyde and other highly toxic chemicals

to wrinkle-proof organic cotton fabrics, thereby defeating the purpose of

organic certification in the first place — our organic products are

triple-certified, meaning that they are made from organically grown, processed,

and manufactured cotton).

Our organic bathrobes are made in Europe under fair labor conditions (no sweat

shop, slave or bonded labor, or underwaged-child labor involved at any stage of

production). GMO-free, bleach-free, dye-free

BArobe 1A: Organic Hemp Bathrobe 35% organic hemp/65% organic cotton

XS/Unisize $189

• BArobe 1A Organic Hemp Terry Bathrobe:

This is our heftiest organic terry bathrobe. The terry fabric's weight is 720

grams per square meter (in comparison, conventional towels usually come in

between 200-400 grams per square meter). The color is off-white on the beige

side. (65% organic hemp/35% org cotton) Rare as can be. A truly special product.

BArobe 1B: Organic Linen Bathrobe 35% organic linen/65% organic cotton

XS/Unisize $199

• • BArobe 1B Organic Linen Terry Bathrobe:

Same weight and similar feel and texture to the hemp terry bathrobe, but the

organic linen/35% org cotton). Rare and special. To our knowledge, we're the

only producer on earth of organic Irish linen terry bathrobe.

Pants: P, XS, M, XXL

The first thing you notice after having worn our new RG745 Organic Linen Terry

Jacket and Sweat Pants for just a couple of minutes is how incredibly warm they

are for an all-natural-fiber outerwear. Our exclusive organic linen terry fabric

truly exemplifies the legendary virtues of hollow-core baste fibers such as hemp

and flax linen: they are breathable and very good insulators (they trap your own

body heat to keep you warm and toasty even in very cold climates; in warmer

climates, they wick away moisture at a fast clip, keeping you cozy without being

trapped in perspiration).

They are warm, cozy, fuzzy, and incredibly comfortable to wear when the chill

factor goes up in late summer/early fall all the way through to early spring.

They are one of our warmest jackets: practical, handsome, and sustainable.

The Organic Linen Terry Jackets have just enough of a collar to keep you warm

when zipped up but not too much to be in the way. The collar of our organic

linen jackets are lined with a soft, unbleached, & undyed 100% organic flax

linen fabric where the jacket touches the skin on your neck.
