Living in an apartment doesn't mean you don't have room to store food and water! by being creative there is always some where to place a few items.

In my case it was under my bed!

Already there...

[Daffynition]

I'm depending on FEMA to save me from any impending disaster.

As this sign on the door of FEMA headquarters in NY [yesterday] explains....**They'll be there....** Maybe.

>>We’ve stored food as long as I can remember....because we canned and stocked up for winter in NYS. We all had fruit cellars and/or storage areas.
<<

But that’s not what we’re talking about, is it? We’re talking about the pain Obama is going to inflict on this nation for who knows how long?

Much more sinister than “storing up for the winter,” wouldn’t you say?

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about America as a whole having to prepare like the disaster Obama is going to bring on this country for no good reason.

I’m well aware of the way of life some have to do as routine.

Do you see the difference?

>> So get the pity party over, dust yourself off, and remember John Paul Jones - We have just begun to fight!<<

Pity party? I’m not throwing a pity party for myself.

I’m angry at what this evil man is doing to my country.

If you see that as a pity party, then FU

OK, sorry for snapping at you. I was wrong.

My last nerve has been frayed raw. I need to pray and prepare for the fight a lot more these days.

Do you see the difference?

***************************************
Yes and No. It is a matter of degree. I see it as just one more trial and tribulation that the Lord has decided we need to endure.

I prepare for it just like any other challenge. I try to focus my energy on what needs to be done to survive. Steely resolve vs Anger I guess is how I would put it.

Anyway, I didn't mean any thing personal, really just thinking out loud and trying to put things in perspective for myself as well as anyone else that may be feeling anger and/or despair.

Apology accepted. Best wishes to all of us, as we prepare for TEOTWAWKI, and hope for a lesser disaster.

Go back to the article. and

Be real....People do not store because Obama is President.

“People do not store because Obama is President.”

Well, his reelection finally got my son-in-law on board.

When I was a kid, my family had a fruit celler in the basement, mom canned and made jam etc...I canned also when my kids were young, it took 17 batches of jelly/jam to get from the end of canning until the following canning started in the early summer with strawberrys etc but had a farm that let you pick your own so all your strawberrys were equally ready for jelly and as different fruits came in, they got made into jelly/jam....canned peachs, pears and sometimes some neighbor would bring me a 1/2 bushels of fruit that they got from some relative...tomatoes are easy, pickels etc....my one son does his own pickles, relish etc cause he loves picking it from his own little garden and canning.....I always let the kids help me when they were young and the skim off the ready to put into jars for the jams was quite a treat...but my favorite was cherry jam, had a small orchard close by that let you pick your own. The kids ate more cherrys than they picked...It was fun to do with all 5 kids helping, pitting, pealing pears etc...the males in my family all hunt and one makes venison to die for..cook great venison and they love (yuk) squirrel.I have had my daughter in laws thank me for their husbands cooking. The boys (men) say they had to learn to cook as I was not that great. :O) One of my grandsons got his first deer with bow and arrow 2 years ago at 16 If the SHTF, they won't starve...

at my age, living alone for 20 years, if you cannot microwave it, its not in my pantry...times do change except a large pot of spaghetti sauce can be put into plastic bags and frozen... I think its just the present generation that don't know how to can unless brought up on a farm...
