Below, an old drop no longer on the Q drop board (remember - some drops were "replaced" and Q said to reread them). Note that based on the date, this would have been sequenced in the 130's to low 140's on the Q drop board.
For those new to Q, note that the number sequence at the bottom of the drop (i.e., 4,10,20) are believed by many to be symbolic of President Trump's initials and therefore, this drop bears his "signature."
Squash into a quart canning jar..fill with olive oil and leave out in the sun for a few days. decant the thick red fluid...press the residual for remainder fluid. 
St Johns Wart plant is very mysterious...likes partial shade...and in a place not disturbed by passing humans nor animal tracks...best in an isolated clearing or a steep embankment.
Do NOT be deceived by the full shelves you see at your grocery or pharmacy. Modern U.S. history has demonstrated repeatedly that in case of pending emergencies people rush these stores and the shelves can be emptied within a day.
The two main items you must provide are food and water. FEMA has determined that a family of four needs a minimum of 28 gallons of water for one week - 53 2-liter soda bottles. That figure assumes some frugality of usage - mostly for drinking - and that users are staying in one location with minimum activity. More activity by any individual may require more water consumption.
If water is to be stored for any length of time, some containers will be required and some preservative should be added. Prepper suppliers such as The Ready Store sell water containers from a few gallons up to 50 gallons, and also sell a preservative, although a few drops of bleach might suffice for preserving the integrity of drinking water for months.
Food is less critical, except perhaps for children. Again, the more activity required for survivability, the more food and quality of food will be required. Protein is essential for meeting muscle energy requirements, but carbohydrates are converted to sugars which also provides energy for the body. For short term food storage there are plenty of shelf items at the grocery store that will suffice: canned goods, sealed bottled items, dried goods. Most will list a date of usability on the label, although many are good for much longer than label dates; good judgement is necessary. For example, a good all around general food is peanut butter, which stores well for a few years; obviously not indicated for those with peanut allergy.
Another consideration for some are medicines. It is possible that many will not be available after a few days in an emergency situation. I take advantage of the insurance allowing me to refill a prescription a week before I run out. I take the left over Rx and store them in a dark glass container with a seal under the lid; adding wax paper under the lid can improve that seal. Many meds, especially tablets, are viable quite some time after the expiration date; expiration dates are determined by lawyers in order to protect the manufacturer in unusual cases and circumstances. Again, some judgement is required.
Keep some cash on hand; ATM's may not be working.
One last immediate need might be vehicle fuel: gas or diesel. A few 5-gallon containers are useful but storage can be dangerous; beware of any fire hazard... fuel can be explosive! A good container will seal fumes from escaping. Some preservative is needed for storage for more than a few weeks. I use Sta-bil to preserve gasoline; it is avialble at WalMart or auto supply stores. Place a label on the container's handle to indicate when the fuel was stored and if the preservative was added.
I somewhat recently finally cycled through remaining stored food items from about 1980 - a bit slow responding. The remaining canned oatmeal had taken on a taste and I disposed of it. A few days ago a carton of six #10 cans, three with oatmeal, arrived from the Ready Store - good for 25+ years of storage. I just have enough storage space remaining for these 6 #10 cans.
I have about 1 gb in survivability files covering a wide variety of subjects. I could provide the bulk of those on a thumbdrive {some of it copyrighted material} if anyone is interested. Subjects range from communications to EMPs and Faraday cages to camouflaging stored items; food, fuel, bio-waste, on-and-on.
Dont forget how to make beer, wine and whiskey.

Our well is narrow and 120 feet, we have a solar well pump but not installed.
“Also, toilet paper. A friend who endured a bad hurricane told us toilet paper was like gold after a couple of days.”
Old paperbacks can be an acceptable substitute. Pre-glossy pages.
😎 Good for barter - which I did not get in to... more for long term situations.
Whiskey...”water of life” -will help you survive the bad food in storage!!!
The other day around 5:30p.m. I was listening to the local news when they had a ‘breaking news’ come on and through out the rest of the time, reporters were talking to neighbors, and they were telling them that the resident of this house had built a big fire in his back yard, these yards are not that big, so they talked to him about it...my first thought was Mackenzie, but thought well maybe not; then later in the newscast one of the reporter's said that he had good firm confirmation that Mackenzie had been at this house...then the next morning the reporters said they were looking for a box springs and mattress that the resident had given away and the crime scene investigators wanted it back if at all possible...
Never did the Asst. Sheriff say who the person of interest was or anything about the resident other than ‘he’ was cooperating...
The National News (Daily News for one) came out with a picture and name of the resident and said this is who killed Mackenzie…
This morning it was announced that Mackenzie was burned, abused, etc. etc. and her family, as reported by the Asst. Sheriff, told everyone there will be no discussion of this incident from here on out. It is over.
I am a loss of words for that family...other than May God have His Arms around them. Amen.
“Get Home Bags”..
I’ve been whining about the same thing.
LOL! Hopefully - for me - bad food, like bad memories, is a passed thing. 😜
Excuse me, but we don’t use that kind of language here. Could you please ask the mod to delete it and repost your thoughts in a cleaned up version? ThanQ
Yes, i'm sure if the "justice democrats" do win against Pelosi they might do that.
They should call themselves the "world socialist party." Which is no different then the National socialists party. Because the national socialist party where wanting to take over the globe under their racists belief system.
That is all these globalist can think are in terms is race.
no... I rarely curse. I’m going to leave it. you can ask to remove my post.
