Hey Granny! Mornin!
Can you ping the gardening thread with this, please? I would—if I knew how!
Good thread, but I’m afraid you’re preaching to the choir! It’s like all the public service announcements when there’s a hurricane on the way. Most of us know the drill and keep plenty of supplies on hand anyway. Course, if the house blows away.... KNow a few extra tricks, too. Like get all the laundry and the dishes done—there may not be power or water for awhile. Fill a cooler with ice and put sandwich stuff and drinks in it—saves the frig being opened so much! Fill the bathtubs and washing machine with water. May not be drinkable but you’d be suprised just how much water you use in a day! As for the newscaster’s idea of using the water in the back of the toilet—she’s obviously never lived in eastern NC—more rust than water. LOL Fill the cars up—gas pumps won’t work without power. Get some cash—neither will ATM’s. Keep the tanks for your gas grill filled. We eat better during a hurricane than we do normally. We’re home, and the food is going to spoil anyway. :) You can fix awesome sausage gravy on the grill, eggs, bacon, you name it. The best biscuits—you wouldn’t believe how great they turn out on a grill! Maybe living in a hurricane prone zone gives you a different perspective, but I think one of the other posters was dead on—pre nanny state. That and growing up on a farm!
You just waking up? I pinged y'all 2 hours ago :)
Hello and welcome, your ideas are all good and some that I had forgotten that I knew how to do.
I did not know there was a gardening thread, so can’t ping them for you, I would if I could.
This was not aimed at only gardens, it is everything, that we might want to know or should know about survival and cutting the corners, that we are all looking at, as the prices rise.
People like you, have a lot to teach us, the cooking on the grill I can do, but not the running from a hurricane or the many other disasters that are lurking out there.
Yes, being a farm girl is a plus, we learn things not taught in the book.
Do join in and help make this a good thread..........
