Prepare - Food Storage

Hey You people who dont want a GUN in the house...

I am all over the map on this post....
I prep. Yall know it. My friends know it. And people who know me know it. I have kept some things close to the vest, but in regards to food and the like, I have tried to get those around me to be a little more prepared.I outlined my "why" in a previous post (and I am too lazy to hunt it down) but suffice it to say, that the more prepared everyone I know is, the safer it is for me and better for them.As we get ready to move in the near future, I am turning my thoughts back to my prepping. I have twirling around in my head "care package" ideas. I know a 1/2 cup of beans and 1/2 cup of rice will keep someo

You wont catch me in the attic....
Its been driving me nuts....How our President can bow to other kings/emperors/rulers/presidents/whatevers. How he can, in the face of OVERWHELMING DISAPPROVAL, do what he wants and act like he doesnt have a care in the world. How he can slam a white cop as stupid and then leave his "good friend", an elderly black man, to be helped down the stairs by the same stupid white cop, while he just about skips down the same stairs...How he can lie out of both sides of his mouth.... "I dont support it...." "I do support it....." "What I wont tolerate...." (That last one is my favorite - tolerate? Excuse me? Who made you lord and master over me that you

What happened to "When in Rome....?"
This Country has gotten touchy.... REAL Touchy.... And its annoying. You want Freedom of Speech? Well, then get ready to get your feelings hurt, because that is what happens.We dont have Freedom of Speech anymore - Political Correctness has driven it underground. Which is a shame. It has made everyone put on a plastic face, with a plastic smile and nod in agreement with all the bland, blah blah borningness that is said.The exchange of ideas - some you agree with and some you dont - enrich the conversation, stretch you as an individual and with the ability to just agree to disagree, actually bring us closer together. When expected to convey you

Up close and personal with the H1N1....
Yup - but not me.... My middle child. Saturday, after playing outside all day on the land while his father and I slaved away, our middle child looked a little "off".... I didnt worry much about it since flushed cheeks and feeling "beatup" is a natural byproduct from being outside in Oklahoma wind all day.In case you dont know, Oklahoma wind isnt a breeze. Its a hard gusting wind which can make trees grow crooked, chap cheeks, and plum wear you out. You dont realize you are fighting it, but at the end of the day, trust me, you are tuckered.So, thats what I thought it was.... Until Saturday evening when the "chapped" cheeks were hot - HOT....Thus began our

Blog info....
In my time off and in posting in my head, I have come to the realization that I need a new blog format - she needs a new outfit ;)I have been searching sites, looking at templates, looking at portfolios....man this is tough.Its been made tougher because in checking out my own blog with a critical eye, I have decided its a little schizophrenic (or is that because I have been blogging in my head).... I cover a bunch of different topics and therefore want my new blog to have different "tabs" in order for those topics to be covered and stay together. I also want readers to be able to subscribe to the various tabs that interest them and exclude those that dont
