Thank you Granny, I would like to continue contributing if you don’t think I’m trying to take over the thread or something. This topic is brand new to me and I want to learn all I can. I won’t survive more than a week or two in an emergency because of my need for dialysis, but I would like to set up the house so my son and husband could survive for some time if need be.
I write and typeset technical documents for a living and I do know how to create indexes and tables of contents. This thread is a wealth of information and I’m thinking of creating an ongoing index for others using Microsoft Word. I have documents that are hundreds of pages long that I’ve created indexes for, and it’a a bit technical to do it.
By the way, I went over to the San Diego scanner website and listened for a minute... wow, that is an eye-opener of a conversation. When you drive through SD you know it’s a city with bad crime areas etc., but most folks don’t think about it very long. They go down to the harbor, the Gaslamp district, Seaworld or the Zoo, or Seaport Village. I’m sure 95% of them are unaware of the danger just down the street.
Interesting that Fresno is nowhere to be found on the scan list that Matt maintains for the Central Valley. I will have to search and see if anyone has the police feed online.
They have had to do a big gang crackdown in the last two years, which has lowered the crime rate dramatically. The crime really bothers my husband. He grew up here and hates seeing his beloved hometown trashed by people who’d gladly slit your throat if you look at them wrong. It’ll be good to be back on the mountain.

No, you are not taking over the thread, and I had been thinking of storage food the last couple weeks.
Yes, PLEASE keep posting, it gets boring talking to myself, and this thread is the kind that no matter where you look, on any subject, you will find more than you can post.
I learned the basics at birth, as sharecroppers, got paid once a year and you never got enough to last for a year, so it was make do and do without, or grow your own.
Both of my parents, were savers of stuff, so my junk is honest junk.
It tickled me to tell Scott yesterday, that I had seen an ad begging for Pringles cans, on the Freecycle group, since that was one of the items, thought of as my junk, by the family.
LOL, they are useful storage, for crafts and will make a good soap mold, if you want round bars, pour it, cure it and tear it off, and slice.
Soap, makes me think of big cookies, I in the past used cookie dough that I made and froze. If one packed the dough in a plastic bag in the can, and pulled it out, it would make big cookies, or in quarters, for triangles and would be fine in the freezer.
Your work sounds interesting, I am glad that it was something that you could keep doing, while being sick.
Nor will I last long, if a disaster hits, but the family knows what is here, if they need it.
I am not suggesting in any way that you alter your dialysis.
But have you checked into other herbal ways to help, if you are in a spot, that the dialysis stops?
It is something that I know nothing about, so haven’t a clue as to what I am talking about.
My breathing meds are so expensive that I don’t have a supply ahead of time, but I get some help from Oregano and Lavender Essential Oils, and use it still when the meds don’t do the job.
LOL, guess that I should not be surprised that the doctor who took over when the good one died in an accident, hates to see me coming....I won’t take all the things he dreams up, as he pushes pills and not cures. And he starts frowning when I tell him I use E. Oils.....last time I suggested he do some research, as they are now doing honest tests on them and proving they work, and not just by the E. Oil folks.
Oregano E. Oil kills germs and Lavender is better than any tranquilizer or sleeping pill.....and all I do is smell it, not drink it.

I listen a lot to the Big Bear scanner at Http://www.bigbearscanner.com
They work well on my dial up, I hear a wide variety of incidents.
As a rule, I listen to Denver and Las Vegas, and the shootings and arson fires are shocking, I am also picking up arson at Big Bear, is the world insane?
Denver and Las Vegas have a lot of kidnapping going on.
Dr. Bill is on a 2 week vacation.

I am listening to something in Kern County, LOL, they sound like a southern accent.
