[tri-med] Re: feeding question

Wanted to change this to tri-family, but not sure you'd get it? Like others 
I'm full of admiration for your guts at living this alternative lifestyle. 
(Especially with a special needs child).  At age nine I lived in Scotland 
in a small village where there was no electricity. We had oil lamps, Mum 
cooked on an open fire with an oven at the side. Washing was by hand, 
boiled up in a copper with wood fire underneath. I had to help Mum some 
times to put the clothes through the mangle, which had these huge wooden 
rollers. We had an outside toilet. But then we had an outside toilet when 
we first came to Australia in 1957. The dunny man used to come and collect 
the "full can", and leave a new one. I got caught many times, but he'd just 
sing out "you take your time love", and stand outside the door sucking on 
his cigarette. Oh happy days (NOT). Love to hear more about how you manage, 
but perhaps on Tri-family list, as we're supposed to stick to medical 
topics on this list.
