“In front of a computer” sharing your wealth of knowledge with so many people. And, we thank you, Granny!
Now, you have made me realize that I started seeking this knowledge in 1958.
That is when the letters started to come from the San Diego schools, that told us how our children would be moved out of the area if we were attacked..........on a bus, up a 2 lane road, going through or next to military abase, and with no safe destination.
I went to the school, told them that they were not to move my child and learned that I would be shot, if I attempted to take her off the bus.
For years, San Diego had the evacuation routes marked with an arrow, that pointed straight to heaven.........
There was not one safe route out of San Diego.
Then they told us to stock up on food, as at that time, there was in the grocery store warehouses, a 3 day supply of food.........
Which the gov would take control of and decide who got it.
So we might never get food again.
Just a couple months ago, the gov decided that they would close the warehouse in San Diego, and move it all to Los Angeles, at least the last I heard, San Diego had put a stop to that plan.
What use would all the medical supplies be to San Diego, if they were a 125 to 150 miles away???
Having gone through the depression in the 1930’s and WW2, I know what it feels like to be hungry, or not have enough food.
So it was natural for me to start looking at how to survive and the more I looked, the more aware I became that we needed to be able to live as they did 200 years ago.
That is why I tell folks to look for the Pioneer diaries, those ladies knew things we never heard of..........on tv.
That is also why I keep posting about herbs for healing, the day is already here, when we may not have a doctor to treat us, so we need to know the simple things that will help.
Healing with plants is how people lived this long.
No herbs will not cure the major diseases, with our limited knowledge, but then neither does all the expensive medicine and I can show you as many people who use herbs and are still alive, as I can dead folks, who got all the fancy treatments.
Knowledge is what we need and fast.
There was recently a thread on “what did you do when the electric went out”, on one of the Yahoo groups that i read.
A couple were knowledgeable, and still prepared from the Y2K days, but most talked of sitting in the dark and not knowing what to do.
Most had no idea that in the old days, one went to bed when it was dark and worked in the daylight hours.
LOL, I know, you want to hear me admit that I have been known to sit right here in front of the computer and wait for the electric to come back on.
