    Your post, Treasure, sparked a bit of inspiration. Why doesn't someone start a bicycle-powered rickshaw service to take people near downtown to and from the farmers market? Bike-powered rickshaws are...
  10. Re: Safe, effective mold/mildew remover?

    Some mold can be very bad for your health. It can affect your mood, memory and respiratory system.

    Borax is the only thing which kills the roots of mold. 20 Mule team is the brand sold near the...
  11. Re: Safe, effective mold/mildew remover?

    I like Moldzyme by EcoDiscoveries. Its an enzyme and I like it better than chlorox because it gets to the roots of the mold below the surface and that tends to end the problem, whereas with chlorox...

    Re: Thrive Movie

    I saw "Thrive" and here's my take on Thrive's 3 parts:

  16. Re: Thrive Movie

    I could not disagree more with the Thrive "opposition press". I think the movie is a timely, urgent, magnificently produced introduction to all the "Red Pill" topics so critical for occupiers and the...
  17. Re: Thrive Movie

    Hi, Gina!
    I apologize if this is redundant, but in case you haven't seen the existing Wacco threads on the topic of "Thrive", here are two relevant links which you may want to check out before (or...
  18. Re: Trying to get support for the Pellini's Corner Development for Monday's Council Meetin

    It's understandable why CVS wants to make this move because RiteAid and the pharmacy in Safeway are cutting into their pharmaceutical business. If they were to relocate, they will be the pharmacy...
  19. Re: Trying to get support for the Pellini's Corner Development for Monday's Council Meetin

    Sal,
    In my opinion, the Chase/CVS is "Big Box" because Chase and CVS are big corporate entities. Similar to McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Home Depot. They seek to suck the blood out of the life of a small...

  22. Poll: Re: Sound levels at local music venues: Too Loud, Not Loud Enough or Just Right?

    From what some local residents are saying, there may be serious noise problems that are interfering with the neighbors' sleep and comfort. This may be a rights issue. If the Hopmonk (or whoever) is...
  23. Re: Kinder, Gentler Credit Cards?

    I don't think that local credit unions, like Community First and Redwood Credity Union, make donations to progressive causes but they do keep the dollars circulating in the community. And they offer...

  25. Re: Correction!! Is Wacco a "conscious, compassionate" community? We'll know soon!

    I contributed $75 this morning. I remember when I moved to California many years ago, and though married, we had no money for wood heat. I went outside to get warm because we lived under the Redwoods...
