That is a great tip that I am writing down on my grocery list so next time I add some medication onto there I’ll see it. That is super kind of you helping customers find deals.

Back on my normal diet, I am finding myself craving carbs more unfortunately because that is what the Datrex cookies mostly consisted of. I’m forcing myself to not go down a spiral of too many carbs, especially with Thanksgiving around the corner.

Thank you for sharing that over there Eric! I hope it is useful to people.

Three days without power has got to be rough for many people. I like your positive attitude though of using these events as rehearsals for a surprise and longer event.

You are a great representative of the gratitude club. When you embroider things onto your pieces of clothing, that would be fun to try and stitch in helpful things like something that helps with navigation or possibly a password or secret code. Not sure exactly what you could do, but it would make me feel like a spy. My winter boots had a small rip in them but I stitched it up and it still has a lot of life left in them too.

That is a great forum post! I like all the ideas people have on there and will try and see items around me in multiple lights.

Thank you Redneck for your comment. I’ve had cars get up to 250K+ and still ran like a champ, and others that started having too many issues to justify keeping at 130K. Guess some makes, models, and years are better than others, and if you get a good one like you did hold onto it and keep it running well!

I can’t remember which movie I was watching, but it was some WWII film and people were all miserable in their community bunkers and just crying and thinking of their homes being destroyed while they hear the bombings going on up above. Then the young teenage girl with the violin starts playing and everyone focuses on her and it lifts their spirits. Music definitely is a powerful way to be prepared, and that is great that you have the resources to learn that skill. I’m also happy to be here! It’s a great site from what I’ve seen so far.
