Thanks. I bookmarked the site, and will copy.
We have already started to stockpile, just in case, but this is very helpful.

I suggest a glance back at Lord of the Flies.
In the absence of normal and necessary civil and utility services, social order and mores will break down pretty quickly, with a lot of [evil] folks who WILL go wandering to prey on the weak and unprepared.
It is useless for the sheep to declare the virtues of vegetarian peace when the wolves remain of a different opinion.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firarms. If these items didn't have tremendous intrinsic value, the government wouldn't want them (or want to "regulate" them).
In a time of social and economic turmoil, those gals of cheap whiskey will be like liquid gold. And ammo (especially 9mm, 38special, 223Rem/5.56x45, 12ga, 30-06 and 308Win/7.62x51 and 22lr) will be the coin of the new economy!
Geesh! over 6000 posts!
That’s gotta be a FR record.
Not quite, some threads are over 10,000...
Reference bump. ;-)
I think it’s a 2 byte field and the max is 64K or so.
Somewheres, there’s a thread that made it.
I’ve lived over half a century without owning an egg beater and I sure as hell don’t consider it #8 on the list of things to have. Why isn’t owning chickens #8? At least you get fresh eggs from the chickens.
The end of the Internet.

I didn’t make the list, I just posted it. And in truth, #8 says CAN OPENERS along with egg beaters.
Doesn’t hurt to have a can opener.
Yup... duality.
Amazing.
Tough to join in progress unless you gotta lot of time to peruse threads.

Too early for my brain to remember what those are...
But if you add to it, or have a question about anything on it, that Sweetheart Granny will be along to thank or help you out with it!
She is a treasure on this forum!
Forgot to PING you!
Are we expecting a zombie outbreak?
1. Keep to the middle of the road - don’t let yourself be manipulated by media, ect.
2. Do not give in to fear. When we are afraid “they” win.
3. Take care of your Domain. That which you are responsible for, take care of it, your family, your home, your job and all that it entails.
4. Pray and stay in the light and remember to be grateful for that which we have been given.
As you hear these frightening things, keep telling yourself:
I Do not accept this!
A daily declaration that I use is:
“ I am standing 4-square in my divine God Light!
All is well with me, my family and my country!
This darkness is not my master!
It cannot knock me from my God - given foundation!
I Am enfolded in Love and in Light, now and forevermore!”
