Good Greetings Bring 4th Monica and All:
Thank you! LOL we are currently munching through our 3 year stockpile of lentils. I buy more to replace what we eat and my husband just shakes his head. He is a big believer in being at the right place at the right time kind of fellow. I had to work at getting to that place within Self--- lol-- he was already there...
I agree it is important to always have a working stock of 3 weeks worth of food, working batteries for the working flashlights (I have kids I know all about drained batteries from flashlights nicked from the drawer to play a covert game of flashlight tag while Ma is not looking and then the lights go out from a storm and guess what--- no flashlights! LOL So I now have decoy flashlights kept in conspicuous places for the wee people who live with me to nick and play with--- they think that they are being naughty by taking ma's flashlights..hehehehhe)
I also have plenty of candles and matches (hidden away) to use when the power goes out... had to use the stash of candles because of the flashlight scenario. I also have an old fashioned kerosene lamp that was my great great grandmothers... we used that during the last icestorm to read by and it is very reliable LOL
We always keep full tanks in our vehicles so we can go at least 444 miles away from where ever we are if need be. 444 is a number of significance it is the number of Oneness... So in lieu of all that all of this is more than likely a moot point but sometimes it is nice to humor the human in me.
Unless it is the dead of winter, I can go out into the wilds and harvest enough foods to keep us going... granted the husband and kids would have to be really, really, really, really, really hungry to eat what Ma is serving up... and when the belly is a growling grubs look pretty yummy. LOL
Sirius--- It is my greatest dream to live for extended periods of time in England, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, and Ireland. I dream of it often during my sleep times. It is a magical place. And there are portals there that are opening up this week and next in fact. I would go and check out Cornwall, Stonehenge and knock about in Wales if I were there during this time. Great Great times.

I am always astounded at American behaviors to any disaster-- storm warnings etc... they all rush to the grocery store buy up ever imaginable perishable food item and go home feeling bolstered that they are "prepared."
