Could you utilize your mytax id / business registration with the state?

No, my understanding is you do not for a CFO.

The guide gives you a good baseline. You are welcome to ask me any questions, too! I've just found it helps to have folks read the guide first. Since I helped write it, it's all information I'd want you to have!

Yes! Have you read the IDPH Cottage Food Guide? It's pretty comprehensive on how to get started with Cottage Food.

Just a heads up, having worked heavily with the very farmers involved in this program and the related LFPA program to supply food banks - the kind of farmer who grows for these programs is largely NOT a trump supporter. The average income of a regenerative farmer (small farm, diverse vegetable production, rotational grazing, etc) is like $28,000 a year and burnout is almost always 5 to 10 years. Not saying it's a universally liberal group, but these people put their money/body/lifestyle into feeding people and there is a distinct difference in them as a group vs most rural commodity farmers. The Trump loving farmers, by and large, look down on diverse vegetable/rotational animal production farmers as "hobbiests".

Short story - people who actually grow food for their local communities aren't usually the farmers who vote for Trump (thats the farmers growing fuel/feed you are thinking of). Go buy a CSA or visit a farmers market and support liberal farmers!

Fair, it is however less likely to grow anything than fresh milled, actually perishable, real flour. Invest in grain berries, proper dry storage, and a flour mill. Ideally within the context of a mutual aid group that could conceivably grow grain.

Water is a thermal conductor. Air is an insulator. So when you have these "dry canned" products, what really happens is the air in the jar prevents even thermal penetration, and the entire jar does not sterilize. In this case, commercial flour is basically sterile on its own, so probably the flour wouldn't go bad... but I do not think whole, or freshly milled flour will keep this way, safely. And again, her canning it has nothing really to do with how long it lasts. Being in a dry, waterproof container and already being heavily sterilized under commercial processes are why it might store that long.

I could give the RLC to my husband (who I also love 😂) but he doesn't play as much as I do. He isn't happy with his king and is open to kinging my RLC, but he would take over decorating, mut, etc.

Prior to the ferus chance opening, I would think cleaning your dens would have more value than basic explore, but that's personal preference this month. Certainly I didn't waste energy last month, and everyone plays the game differently. Just seems strange to basically threaten to dilute the chase pool if someone else doesn't spend energy for you.

Send to nature reserve? I don't have room for them or I would do it for you.

You could use potato cubs/zero marking ncls to grab those marks from the studs (there is a higher chance of marks passing if the lioness has no marking to compete) then breed the resulting lions with the rare markings to studs that have the easier to get marks.

Could absolutely be the same player's side account buying to make it look like a reasonable set of rules.

Ive thrifted so many old school pairs that I didn't realize the new ones are shit. You want to find a pair with high quality leather from the rubber part up. The tongue should be sewn to the sides, so there is no leakage around there, NOT a loose tongue like a tennis shoe would have.

Old leather that doesn't have thin spots or tears is easy to rehab with saddle wax. Highly recommend thrifting an old school pair!

Duck boots. If you properly treat the leather portion yearly, they are waterproof and last decades. I bought my own pair and have bought and gifted pairs to friends for under $5 each several times. I buy Austrailian Saddle Wax from Tandy Leathers and rub it into the leather 1 to 2 times a year based on use.

The True Value in Leroy is owned by a really nice Leroy family. They also own the Princess Theater in town, a Napa autoparts (inside the True Value), rental company with tons of tools & party supplies available, sponsor lots of boy scout projects and one of the family is one City Council and has been for almost 20 years. 10/10 nice local business. Leroy is far enough out from any "big" city that a lot of businesses here are truly small and local owned. Local Bourbon Hall, restaurants, and even a real pharmacy (Aanaya Pharmacy is worth driving over to get meds from 100%).

Leroy has a really great thrift store on their main street across from the Bourbon Hall. One of the "donated here, sold here" places that doesn't skim all the good stuff off to sell on Ebay.

Gas stations are always like that. The less to do in your town, the cheaper the gas 🤷‍♀️

There are some really amazing local home bakers! The Decorator's Grocery Store is like the end all be all for baking/candy supplies, locally owned by the same folks who own Red Raccoon, and usually knows all the best "if you know, you know" home bakers.

All taken, sorry!

Chiming in to say none of those herbs are rare. You can almost certainly buy seeds or plants for almost all of them at your local garden store or absolutely get them cheaper through trade or online. $60 for basic herbs is wild, so you decide if the extra information is 1 place (because all of that is also free on the internet) is worth ~$45.

Pretty sure there wasn't a post recommending this prior and this is just a sales attempt but I'm not 100% sure so I'll leave it for now. Please use your own judgement before taking this recommendation.

Did you put her up for trade? Interested in buying...

All of the "expensive" breeding projects like DU, RLC, & Hybrids are VERY high investment for very little.chance of return. I made 9 attempts over a year, using easily 100+ gb in items each time to breed 2 RLC clone. I got my first off 3 trys, and my second from breeding that first successful girl

Each attempt had: lion meat, Buffie, crunchy worm, 2x ochre powder, black stallion, rock salt, opal saltlick

4 attempts also had 20 Y-barks each. Three attempts also included a 35 to 50gb breeding fee.

I produced around 5 total 14/15 nrlcs, one with a very pretty Senegal base that I sold for 800 HS, a couple others I'll likely sell for between 10 and 50gb, based ok rarity and base. I kept a couple to continue to breed, since ochre powder makes it possible to take a perfect 10 marks 14/15 nrlc and attempt for a clone.

I probably could have bought a clone for 500 to 600gb when I first started. I don't want to add up the expense in items I blew trying to breed her instead.

Prices change frequently. I usually check branches & TC. In general, an applicator (really anything) is cheapest the month it's available in an event and for the couple months following. They are the most expensive between 6 months to 10 months after their available period.

Also worth noting - if they king your cub, then mut/heritage rep them, the resulting King still looks exactly like your cub/lion (barring a new mutation) but will show up as gone/killed when you search them from the old lion id or in your kings cub list.
