yes you are right should be a septic tank,really never got round to it,will try and get one made...its just whilst my house was being built i was involved in a horrific car accident ,which basically meant my home had to be built quickly and alot of important aspects were left out or neglected. i will definitely consider this and most probably get some local guy to make me one.

cow dung is a very popular form of natural fertilizer , i mean we are all made from dust and will return to dust,poo and all

i've got loads of rose bushes in my garden,might grab some petals and rub em' over me,actually i will do an experiment,try different things on different parts of exposed skin,ie arms,ankles,feet,face and hands and see which ones work the best,unless you try ,you will never know

you guys,,,hello,,im talking about Pakistan not England,no complaints here whatsoever,have septic tanks,other tanks,all kinds of tanks............but tanks across the otherside of the planet,well me don't think so.

maybe in the cities they well have em but in a rural area i have never seen or heard of someone having one,i do have proper bathrooms,toilets etc but the drainage system here is kinda universal for all living in a rural environment.
too expensive for a single house to have drainage as my home is miles from anywhere and everything about it i designed so i consider i haven't done too badly with what i had.

the farmers around me do appreciate the free fertilizer tho,no complaints from them

We covered ourselves with Avon's Skin So Soft lotion. Although not created for this purpose, it works really well and it smells good too!

Also, in drier regions we dealt with Deer Flies. At these stops, we sprayed our neck, arms, and legs with Vanilla extract from a spray bottle. It tends to stain your collar but well worth it.

Knock wood, I haven't had a mosquito bite since I was a kid. I am one of those lucky ones they just don't have an appetite for.

thanks for that tip i will make sure i take some vanilla extract /essence with me,i did read about somewhere but appreciate all the tips everyone has given me here,a big thanks to all

i don't think there ever will be a cure to eradicate malaria or mosquitos.
i don't even know what their purpose is in this world,just a nuisance around the world,responsible for many deaths and diseases,,,,i mean look at the size of the damn thing,unbelievable that it can actually kill you.

mosquitos are rife in hot,humid and water logged environments,not so much in the colder parts of the world.

yep tasman that's true and can be crap no matter where you live,whether in the city or in a jungle,important thing is you have to survive,today's world of tech has increased people spending,in the olden days ppl lived without what we have today and still managed to live a happy simple life.
i find city life too hectic,too expensive and too many responsibilities...........there comes a point in your life when you just feel that you have had enough and time to make some changes,i am glad i did.
theres no person in this world that doesn't want a stress free life,but many are forced to work and continue living the way they do just to survive and keep the bills upto date.

i always find the weekends pretty mundane with earnings,,,,well good today is monday,start of a new week and hopefully loads of surveys and tasks later.

no valerie, sometimes i feel like i'm reliving history caught in a time warp

if you got money no matter where you are,you can at least afford the basics for a decent living otherwise many people just make do with what they have.Many countries in Asia are 3rd world countries,poor,living standards are much lower than that of the rest of the world ,especially in rural areas where the government spends the least,even if that,so people are literally forced to make do with whatever they got.
i am kind of fortunate so my standard of living is pretty high compared to many but still,i don't see myself superior to anyone and have helped many people in my area with what i could afford.
i am no millionaire nor am i rich,i work too and believe me when there are not many opportunities around you count yourself lucky with what God has given you,no matter how small or big it is.

the main reason for me living in a rural area is the peace and tranquility it offers,i been bought up in a city all my life,done it all,tasted everything ,now is kinda like detoxing myself.
i did find the city life very hectic and stressful,basically working all day,keeping up mortgage payments,paying the bills,car insurance,tax etc........so many bills,so many responsibilities ,eventually i had enough,especially after my accident which really prompted me to change my whole lifestyle,so there you go,i have no regrets but some decisions i should have taken more time over,anywayz still happy overall.

cool seaeagle thx for clearing that,guess i shouldn't trust everything what ppl say and from what i read.
yeah dirty water is pretty hazardous too,cholera,typhoid and bilharzia

sure seaeagle same here too but when you are living in a rural environment the same luxuries lol, ie sewage systems in cities are kinda difficult to implement.

ideally i would love to have the basics but obviously i cant so you best get on with what you got,aint too bad really.
but i tell you one thing,since moving out there almost 11 years ago i feel much healthier,rarely get ill and i find it so relaxing and peaceful.
whenever i come to England i tend to catch the cold,joints ache and all your other common ailments just seem to love me.

my home is pretty large ,massive garden,i keep everything immaculate,cleanliness is my topmost priority there, i actually prefer the rural life to an urban one any day.
in the beginning it was difficult to adjust too but now i am happily settled in.
i did pay a high price to get electricity there which was no1 priority for me, i have all the devices for high internet access,got solar panels,water pump,air conditioners fitted throughout.

i also have a stone oven outside which i built 2 years ago after watching someone else build one on youtube

pretty good at diy and always looking for ways to make the most of living in the jungle lol

well actually bouldrake i read somewhere that the common housefly carries more disease than a mosquito and people are more prone to getting malaria from a fly.
even drinking infested waters or contaminated food can give you malaria i guess and definitely a mosquito bite too,if your immune system is very weak at the time.

i remember when i had surgery on my leg in 2008,i was bought out from the operating theatre straight into my room,that evening i was bit by a mosquito and had a fever but doctors acted quickly and i was under control,i was very vulnerable then.

its called primitive living tasman, its how we all started b4 the sewage system of today,guess i'm back to living primitively,no option really but not a problem either, i enjoy all the perks of living in the countryside,drain or no drain

well val so far its working fine for us,no stench or anything,coz my house is out in the open i just have fields and open land around me,all the water goes out from my home straight int the field ,where its absorbed asap.
i understand where you are coming from but in countries like pakistan,India this is the system that many people living in rural areas employ....whereas in the UK, America,Europe there's a proper underground sewage system.

its not by choice but there is no other option.
we do use alot of water in the summer so all in all not too bad really.....i do water my veg with clean water but some trees in my garden get the veggie and dish water. As im practically living off the grid i try to utilize everything as best as i can.

haha i used this many times and my eyes hurt too,also it has a horrible chemical smell which used to make me sick,i dont use it anymore,the smoke is not good for the eyes.

no you are right, too much sun exposure causes cancer also,that's been round since beginning of time and is a natural element,,,,,yep modern treatments have drastically or eradicated most cancerous diseases which no one can deny.

i think what raju was trying to say is that alot of things we have now and didn't have in the olden days have contributed to many illnesses and diseases,maybe he was getting a good point across but it might have been kinda muffled.

anywayz good health to all and lets pray for a long and happy life!
