Okay. Let's be real. There is no privacy on the Internet. Cookies are collected and transmitted. Logs are accumulated. The reality is every time you visit a web site or use email you're broadcasting your IP address and other data about your web browser and computer as well possibly yourself. To make it more interesting the NSA is probably watching as may well be other agencies of various governments and corporations.
Yes, if you're diligent and industrious you can use anonymouse and other tools to try and protect your privacy. However, unless you actively do that, and even then, don't expect privacy on the web. Remember that email is a postcard open to all who want to read it as it passes through their servers. That said, I am not making any conscious effort to use all that data for evil so take a deep breath and don't worry about it since there isn't a lot you can do about it.
If you're under 13 realize that animal sex does get discussed on this site - we're a farm. If your parents haven't had that discussion about the facts of life with you yet I suggest you explain it to them. Wiki might help. Other than that this site is completely child and adult safe as far as I know.

Walter,
How is the small cottage coming? I haven’t seen anything on it in a while. Speaking of which, I notice that the temps in the small cottage aren’t getting quite as high as the temps in the old house. I seem to recall from the early days of the small cottage that it would regularly hold temps close to the big house, even though the big house gets heating and the small cottage only benefits from passive solar heating. Have you been leaving the door open on the cottage?

Hi Walter,
I live in Brattleboro VT (somewhat south of you) and am interested in finding a place to buy healthy-raised lard – either that or the fat to render myself. Do you folks sell the lard/fat as well? Thanks!
I know!!!!!!!!!!! I saw that happwn. Water was in a pipe on a cold day and it got smaller and smaller and smaller and it pushes out th eice makeing things like that!
Don, the tiny cottage is coming along. I’ve been getting ready to do four different projects – floor structure, the loft, the attic and the plumbing. There is some interaction between three of the four so I have to make sure I get everything right which means lots of thinking time.
The temperature in the cottage is tempered by the 84,000 lbs of thermal mass so it doesn’t react as fast as the house. But that can get biased a bit if I have the doors open a lot to bring materials in since the thermometer hi/lo is measuring the air.
AnonyBrattleboro, we don’t sell rendered lard retail, just whole animals and possibly soon the cuts through stores.
