Texas, a wretched hive of scum and villany...

We live in a house of cards with no clear foundation. We rely too much upon unfriendly foreign nations to provide oil to heat our homes and put gas in our cars. We rely upon other nations to provide produce and other food items that fill our grocery store – food that can easily be contaminated with e-coli and other deadly, infectious disease – food that would not be available in the event of even a partial collapse of the transportation sector. Basic skills such as sewing and cooking are lost upon a generation raised on convenience foods and cheap, “throw away” goods. Could you or your child sew a button on a coat or mend a sock if clothing became scarce? Could you prepare a meal with flour, milk, eggs and canned meat and/or vegetables, or would you stare at the ingredients, wishing for last week’s prepared, frozen dinner?

My “Mouse on a Stick” franchises.
My current truce with prairie dogs will end. Fricasee of sod poodle...
If civilization collapses, will New Mexico even notice?
Sailboat in the low latittudes.
I am an amputee and depend on insulin and multiple medications. In short, I am a goner.
Perhaps, mañana....
Doesn’t the Bible basically say that man lives in a House of Cards without trusting Him? I’ll put my faith in the Lord, and He will provide for all my and my familys’ needs (including Mice On a Stick and Fricasee de PrairieDog {8^D.
UGH! The thought TV dinners make me wish for the collapse of civilization.
Sumpin' like Texas.
There’s another thread that was posted prior to yours...
Not to be the thread police or anything, just wanting all folks interested to get on the same page, so to speak.

Because I was taught to sew when I was about six. And not by my mother but an Uncle who was in WWII and they had to sew on their own unit patches and rank (see Movie Battleground as example) And I could cook something with those ingredients. That my mom did teach me. The same for washing clothes with a 'scrub board'.
If civilization collapses we'll go back to a Tribal Culture. Starting with our neighbors who we can 'trust'. That'll be the first 'Tribes'. Every outsider will be viewed with distrust (Justice won't be pretty either).
“If things really go to hell, the people would fall into an extreme state of barbarity, depravity and ignorance.
Sumpin’ like Texas.”
Actually, I was thinking more like Harvard.
“Gopher, Homer?”
I did a search of the title?
Although I note that a paper in the UK had a similar article on Sunday!
Is that because of the TV, of the dinners? The ones from Marie Callender are pretty good, if a bit caloric.
Ah...I copied the exact title.
meh
Perhaps I should have edited!
