Thanks for posting, CB.

I just heard about this - it’s basically a digital currency system, ala Chinese social credits. They will be able to control who can buy what, and it comes into effect Dec. 13th.

I’d be interested and willing to help.

Let me think about how and how often for a bit.

Here’s a great article, it encompasses everything going on now and the reasons behind it.

After reading this, there’s no way anyone can see the destruction of the country and our lives and not panic! (Not that it’s my goal here!)

I can see I will be entertained for hours now! The one about Appalachian phrases beginning with O is hilarious.

I had no idea. But why would Tomatoes be any different than all the other items!

Luckily I bought a whole bunch of little 8 oz cans for $0.25 at the grocery outlet. But I could stockpile my whole house full and it still won’t last that long, cuz I don’t think things are ever going back to normal.

This is your ping to the All Things Prepping, Simple Living, Back to the Basics [Survival Today, an on going thread]

This week's topic is Storing Medication at Post #1676

I need everyone's input on how best to store not only fish antibiotics but any other medication, for the best way to have it last past the expiration date.

There was a great thread that TIK posted us to recently about fish antibiotics. Or rather just the need for storing any antibiotics, no matter what the source. (and thank you to TIK for his long-term dedication and pinging us to many many relevant articles over the years).

I have just been storing the small amount I had in the original bottles in our basement. At the very least I think I could have put them in mylar with an oxygen absorber! But is there a method that is tried and true that is better?

I have read to always keep them in the freezer. And then to never keep them in the freezer. The refrigerator is mentioned often. But then a dry place is also recommended! I have no clue what to do!

I've read that freezers are good as long as they have a consistent temperature. So that leaves off any freezers with a defrost cycle. I get serum tears for my eyes that are frozen and need to be kept at a constant temperature. The best I could figure was to put them in a box with ice cubes and then put that in the freezer. Maybe when the temperature fluctuates during the defrost cycle the extra ice with my serum tears will keep them colder.

I also read if storing them in the refrigerator to remove the cotton packing in the bottle, if there is any - those would absorb moisture.

I just thought I would pass on those extra tidbits,.

But I would appreciate any information or even opinions on how to store medication.

If you want off/on this list, just let me know.

A suggested topic for the next thread is generators.

There’s a mention made about them on this thread. What with the power grid issues we are looking at and whatever natural disasters might throw at us, it seems like a need that would be good to address for next time.
