That's an interesting idea. I like to work out with lighter weights, but I have only limited space to store them.

Our water company is not very reliable so quite frequently we lose water. That is why we try to store a lot of water. We have ice storms in the winter, but our winters our not that harsh. My biggest concern, we live near a major interstate and a truck stop so I am concerned about chemical spills...

Is this what you are talking about? If so, I can check at my local Bed, Bath, and Beyond to see if they sell them.

Every time I try to make popcorn in a pot, it usually burns. I am putting oil in the bottom of the pot so I am not really sure what I am doing wrong. It seems like the kernels are sticking to the bottom. I have ruined several good pots of mine just trying to make popcorn.

This is so easy, and I found that I could make this for a fraction of the cost for what I was paying for the Newman's brand. Honey Mustard Dressing 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise...

Hey, I got twenty. :cool:

I only got it five time, but I am having mouse problems. Yeah, that's my excuse. ;)

I am sorry about your garden. We had a bad hail storm earlier in the spring that nearly destroyed everything in my garden. Well, I thought it was all ruined because that is the way it appeared. However, I was really surprised when most of the plants were able to recuperate.

Wow, that is too cool!

Here is an article called "Stealing Rain".

I had fried rice.

I had a pancake, again. I used the leftover batter from yesterday.

This may sound crazy; but I am just wondering, if goldfish will live in rain barrels, then will other (edible) larger fish live in there as well? Hmmm... I have been hearing a lot about the illegal rain water issue. We are in a drought so I do not know if it is illegal in my state to collect...

I did not mean to make light of the subject. Actually, this is something that I hear people say a lot when mentioning hanging clothes on the line. They complain about the stiffness, and some say they will not hang clothes on the line because of this. How did we get this spoiled? :idunno

When line drying, stiffness on clothes and towels does not bother me one bit. I can think of a million other things more important in this life besides that. :D

That is great! :)

I would like to keep my goal fairly realistic and easy to achieve. Therefore, if I can significantly decrease my trips to the store (especially Walmart), then I will be satisfied.

We mostly use the water in the rain barrels to water the garden. It could also be used to flush toilets as well; but in an emergency situation, I would also use that water for drinking after properly treating and filtering it.

I had pancakes and a glass of orange juice. I eat pancakes at least 4-5 times a week (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). ;)

I agree with what some other people have said that water is one of the most important things to store for emergencies. However, it is a bulky thing to store, takes up a lot of space, and it is also heavy to carry. We were living in Pensacola during hurricane Ivan, and we were without power for...
