Welcome and I am so glad you found our thread, have you checked the new one too?

Yes, I have typed your name before I think, forgive me, as I am not one to remember names and the last couple days have dealt with so many new ones, that I may go into hiding for the night.

I /we tried to cram as much information as possible in the thread and there is a lot, and so much more to learn for all of us.

All you need to do is join in, post as you will and there is no need to be a lurker, we have lots of those.

We are all survivalists, the word survival means many things, tonight folks in Oklahoma are praying they will survive a tornado that hit them.

For me food and supplies are first and the knowledge to make do, if I don’t have what I wish I did have.

For some it is protecting the supplies and for all of us it is being prepared and not left on the side, asking what happened.

I pray that you and yours will always be safe and happy.

Aren’t Freepers awesome!!!!

Thanks for the ping. I've been having problems with this thread and the other couple of gardening threads. I read down about half a page, see an interesting link, and --POOF--, I'm off reading and learning for hours. Yesterday, it was PVC greenhouses, Monday it was seeds, heirlooms, etc. Today........I've only been up 30 minutes, and already ready to go to my Freeper "classroom" and start the lessons.

I guess one has to do what one has to do to deal with the stress of the "bailout" and the treasury's rescue plan announced yesterday. It makes me feel that I've a lot of learning to do, and the clock is ticking faster every day. Maybe today I can go to town and pick up a few of the necessities for the 72 hour kit. I have it started and pretty much know what to get, so I need to get at it. The current tornado watches this morning only emphasize to me that "we know not the time", and I need to get at it. Sorry for the incoherent early morning rambling - I'll get awake here in a few........
