I don't expect them to think like I do. Each has good qualities and their own skill sets and that is enough. They do much for me that I am no longer able to do for myself and that outweighs storing a few jars of food. At the end of the day, it all works out just fine.

That was nice.<br /><br />I fully admit to getting to the obsessive stage with prepping. Oddly enough, having a body that doesn't work very well any more is what it took to break out of that mold and realize that I may be old, but I still have a life to live and I was missing a good deal of it. I will still do what needs doing, but also reclaim what gives me joy. As for the bears...I think they may be more like rabid rats. But the powder is dry and within easy reach!!

I have zero confidence in any of them looking out for my interests.<br /><br />As far as the vaccine goes, that should be a personal decision. And I absolutely do not think any less of any person who does not agree with the decisions I have made. Frankly, what someone else decides to do in that regard is none of my business. What I resent is government officials telling me that I have to do what they tell me to do in spite of my personal beliefs.<br /><br />Because I have medical conditions to deal with, medical supplies take up space along with the normal first-aid supplies and over the counter medications that are typical in any home. I have yarn, fabric, sewing supplies and two sewing machines for making and repairing clothing. Also several ways to produce light should we lose power. Also alternative ways to cook and heat a room. Also paper products. And soaps and cleaning products. And water. And tools, including those for self defense. I probably forgot something here, but no - I store much more than just food. Which is why I am out of storage space. :) Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-39194008145849820322021-08-03T11:27:48.359-05:002021-08-03T11:27:48.359-05:00Since some of your food will also be for your fami...Since some of your food will also be for your family, are they storing any of the excess for you in their homes?

Yes, the advice coming from CDC has changed since the virus crap started. But that is what science does - admit they got things wrong as data disproves earlier thinking. Once upon a time, science thought blood letting was the cure for everything, that the sun revolves around the earth, now we know different. Yes, I got vaccinated as soon as I was able to, because I trust the science, not the politicians on either side.<br /><br />Good news that you've gotten all the food wedged in that you can. Do you also stock up on non-food items, like batteries, cleaning products, medical items, or items to repair clothing? Or are you hoping that whatever hits the fan doesn't last so long that those things become a worry, or you can barter food for those items if needed? One thing I find interesting is preppers paying so much attention to stocking up on food and ammunition for months, yet it seems like not much mention is made about non-food needs.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-53942952605165502692021-08-03T11:13:50.787-05:002021-08-03T11:13:50.787-05:00sbrgirl...Seems to me that the decision to take an...sbrgirl...Seems to me that the decision to take any medication should be made on the advice of our personal physicians.

It's very easy to get obsessive about prepping. I get my "news" and shut it off. I prepare as best I can, and then live my life.

You are always welcome here. The only ones I delete are the nasty trolls who have nothing better to do than to try to pick a fight. I don't play that game.<br /><br />Thank you for the links. The first one makes me wonder...if the jab is so good, why do they need to recruit people to persuade others to take it. Nobody had to be talked into getting the polio vaccine or the smallpox vaccine or a tetanus shot. The fact that they are recruiting kids and sending people door-to-door to get compliance, smells a bit like week old dead fish.<br /><br />The comparison to the Hitler Youth is valid. But now they are being more subtle by working things like critical race theory and undermining the family into the school curriculum. And that is no less evil than what they did to kids in Germany in the WWII era.<br /><br />Thanks to you and Red, watching Now Voyager is now at the top of my To Do list.<br /><br />Thank you, my friend, for caring enough to speak your mind.

She doesn't have room for a grinder and grains. We will be starting more veggies for fall and winter this week. I told my Husband we need to drop some excess weight slowly. People that did not prepare will see a person who looks like they are not missing any meals and show up at the door. I donate to a local food pantry because I know people need help sometimes. But when paying for something fun or a new piece of bling in stead of making sure their families have food in the pantry... I think it's time to watch the Searchers or Now Voyager.
