You can start gathering information now, with the help of Google Earth, the local sheriff, county clerk, maybe a local pastor. You might be able to pay someone to go there and take photos for you, or at least list what is there. You can find out the nearest neighbor, and develop a good...

We try to eat a little kraut every day, with supper. I have found that it goes well with just about anything. It gets mixed up on your plate with casseroles, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, whatever. You really can't taste it as kraut, just as a fresh crunchy (hopefully) addition to the food.

This is kinda off topic, but kinda relavent, too. Icu4dzs, in your opinion, is DMSO safe for humans to use topically for joint pain? It sure makes a person's breath stink after a while!

Ninny, I have found that regular water jugs disintegrate after a while. You will notice water spillage in your storage area, and trace it back to the stored water. You might want to check into a more sturdy container for your water. I am experimenting with gallon bleach containers, and gallon...

Baymule, It sounds so great to be able to grow that wide variety of plants all winter, but I know you pay for that privilege in the long hot summer. Regarding keeping the kraut, I ferment mine in gallon jars, then when it has just the right amount of tartness, I put it in quarts or pints...

Seriously, it is time to drag that spouse to a marriage counselor. You need a knowledgeable 3rd person to look at this and help you find a solution you both can live with.

Be aware, though, that once you start getting your own credit, savings account, checking account, etc, that the gap between you only widens. At the same time, in my opinion, two people don't need to be of one accord on all things in order to call it a marriage. Maybe just on the important...

Daffodil, you didn't sound flippant to me, just cheerful. And yes, 'necessary' is relative.

Well, as the OP, my question was to see what we would think would be the 37 food items that would be on the list. He said they were common items from the grocery store, so that would probably rule out the huge buckets of beans and rice that some of us would assume would be included. I also doubt...

Are you with the military base there? I go past Clarksville fairly often, on my way to Nashville or somewhere East.

My computer kept displaying teaser ads about a list of 37 food items that were absolutely necessary for survival in a SHTF situation. DON'T CLICK ON IT, if you get the ad as a result of this message, because it will lock up your browser and make you have to restart your computer. I don't know...

I wonder if this is the beginning of TSHTF. Can you imagine what may possibly happen if the extremists in DC don't compromise? Do we need to get our money out of the banks that are guaranteed by the gov't?

I have wondered about those induction hot plates. They are advertised on TV. Sounds too good to be true that they will heat the pan of water, but not burn your fingers. The one I saw advertised said you can use your regular pots and pans. I really don't understand how those things work. (No need...

This spring when the buffalo gnats were so bad, my son discovered that the cheap vanilla does work well to repel the gnats. I think he mixed a little bottle of vanilla flavoring, some tea tree oil, alcohol and water. You have to shake a little before spraying. Probably don't really need the tea...

Have you checked to see if it really is rancid? Did it refreeze when the freezer got plugged back in?

Beautiful soaps! I am learning to appreciate the absence of chemicals in natural soap and shampoo, finally.

Well, Bee, I am one of those people who has more money than sense, apparently, lol. And not a lot of either. I feed my 4 chickens their crumbles in the morning, along with a scrambled egg chock full of eggshells. Of course they go for the egg and shells first, and sometimes don't even pay any...

OK! I did this. Yippee!

I did! Can you imagine getting an e-mail for every time you respond? All the banter we do on TEG--good grief! :eek: Hopefully Nifty can figure out how to stop the notices.
