The Great Cat
I didn't know about those -- will look into them.
A damp rid product? might work?

Potter used the acronym, OWS. Does anyone know what it means?
What some perceive as panic is actually common sense.A few interesting tidbits:
The information I referenced posting last week did not come from .mil sources, but did come (through my friend) from .gov three-letter-agency types. I find it interesting that the man in the vid got his similar information from .gov sources, too, though from a different vector. The biggest difference is that my source specifically said that the coming shortages were "planned".
I do notice that retailers in my little AO are experiencing spot shortages of different items. It's nothing - so far - extremely alarming, but it is noteworthy enough for me to pleasantly chat with business owners and supermarket managers to keep a finger or two on the local pulse.
I've certainly never suggested that anyone panic, but there's a huge chasm between panic and being attentively aware. It's always better - in any evolving situation - to be days, weeks or months early, than to be seconds or minutes too late.

Too much is not nearly enough.The most i can imagine is ALMOST enough.
Very nice lettering.
“Come on rice, do your thing”Rice is also how to remove moisture from cell phones/electronics.
Had a cell phone drop into a sump well, 2' down. Put it in a bag of uncooked rice overnight, worked like a charm...still working today.
Shame...FYI, you can buy big packets of silica gel that are the size of large charcoal hand warmers. Know what I’m talking about? I accidentally bought the wrong size on Amazon and was pleasantly surprised to have accidentally gotten these. They’re about the size of my hand (I have small hands).
Add some beans.If that's all she's eating for carbs, no bread, noodles, etc., then she's not that far off in her guesstimation.
Yep. My rule is to use ONE candle and carry it from one room to another. In movies when the lights go out they always use a lot of candles in one room. Very wasteful.For us the issue with candles is the fire hazard. As always practice basic safety with them especially if you have insude cats and little children.
I read that you can ask a piano company for their large silica gel packs for free. They use them in the pianos.FYI, you can buy big packets of silica gel that are the size of large charcoal hand warmers. Know what I’m talking about?

Sock might be better cuz plastic bag could fall apart.O a sock filled with a large landscaping rock
Many yrs ago it was winter. I went next door to visit a neighbor for 2 hrs. Came back home and saw the cat had knocked down a lamp onto the feather blanket on the couch. It was starting to smoke! Watered it down. Got home just in time!No cats, no dogs, no kids, no hubby.
Just lil old me.
Candles are safe if you bave them contained, and on a stable shelf or table, away from other combustible items.
The cat lives outside now, I hope.Many yrs ago it was winter. I went next door to visit a neighbor for 2 hrs. Came back home and saw the cat had knocked down a lamp onto the feather blanket on the couch. It was starting to smoke! Watered it down. Got home just in time!
Yeah that guy is a real piece of work. He's pissed at Alex Jones because he won't hold Donald Trump accountable "for the millions he's killed as a result of Operation Warp Speed." That obviously is preaching to the choir for some here...but when I watched that, his creditability effectively vanished for me and the only image that came to me was this:Did not watch most of it, but based on the topic of the video it probably means: Operation Warp Speed
My son in law is like that. He has been very resistant the entire time they have been married. One of those guys that if he doesn't think of it, it is not right. She has managed to have a small reserve, but nowhere close to what she needs.Dang. Wish my husband thought that way. We're not anywhere near where we need to be 'cause hubby thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist.
I to realize that one day we will have to do without electricity, and am prepped accordingly with oil lamps, oil, wicks, globes, a selection of Coleman lanterns, with a bunch of mantels and fuel both Coleman fuel and propane, rechargeable lanterns and all that. But as long as it lasts i will use electricity, and have plenty of light. The older i get the more light hungry my eyes get.We made our decision together, but I'm more adamant about it than Cary is. We've been living with little electricity now for quite a while. We use just enough to get by with the basics. It was our plan years ago when we started prepping to one day be without electricity.

I have a good friend who talks the same way. She doesn't understand why people stock up. Said that if everyone just bought what they needed for a few days, then supplies wouldn't run out. I told her that even the government has told people to have 2 weeks worth of food and supplies, then they changed it to a month's worth, then even upped it more. I told her that if everyone did buy extra and the store ran out of things before she got there, what good would her reasoning do her then? She said that God would take care of them.My son in law is like that. He has been very resistant the entire time they have been married.

He says that she shows no faith. His thoughts is that God will feed them. If i am still alive when it hits, i have told her she can come here, hopefully alone. If not i intend to require him to eat at least two meals a day from the manna he has gathered.

I've tried the DampRid product before. It does turn the pellets into a liquid, but
if the container is tipped over and the liquid spills out, it is an absolute mess to clean up.
The liquid becomes some type of slime.
dont forget the goodwill. my local one puts all the candles and parts into 1 gallon bags, and sell the bunch, make a lot of candles from that, and dont forget broken crayons, to color them with,
also craigs list and thrifty knickle, I once bought from a estate sale, 300 pounds of wax, plus spools of wick and several different molds, never know what you will find
Add some beans.
se people tend to "forget" that just as the Israelites crossed the Jordan river into the promised land the manna was cut off. They were expected to make it in the land flowing with milk and honey. I have faith that HE will take care of me, AFTER I HAVE DONE ALL I CAN TO FOLLOW THE PROMPTINGS THAT HE HAS GIVEN ME. If i play the grasshopper, well i guess i deserve the grasshoppers fate.I have a good friend who talks the same way. She doesn't understand why people stock up.

Then I reminded her about Joseph. That God TOLD Joseph and the Pharoah that there was going to be seven good years and that they should stock up. And stock up they did! So when the seven bad years came, the country had enough for its people for SEVEN years, and also enough for lots of people in neighboring countries. That's a whole lot more than stocking up for two people for a month!! And GOD TOLD THEM to do that!! What if God was speaking through me to her right now, about this same subject??
Needless to say, she was silent. There was nothing she could say. I warned her bad times were coming. She can even see that. Hopefully she does some thinking and starts stocking up. And before anyone says anything, I don't think they would end up with us. They don't know what we have. And they've got a garden and an old homestead a few miles away. And he and others in the family hunt. They are an older couple (mid 70s) and have two kids and grandkids. They'd have family to help them if they need it.

The grasshoppers fate is to be eaten. I hear CC has some bitchin’ recipes.If i play the grasshopper, well i guess i deserve the grasshoppers fate.
I've switched to rechargeable battery operated lanterns for lighting and flashlights. I have a battery charger that I run off my solar/wind generator. I even have battery operated fans in case power goes out in summer.
Me, too. The fire danger with candles and oil lamps is too high for my household.
My daughter and I use the tactic of going to assorted you tube videos on topics hubby is cold or luke warm to. Then when he gets on you tube the videos we watched pop up on the right hand side of the screen. He may or may not watch them. If he does all of a sudden he is supportive of the idea or procedure we have been trying to use at our place. We just chuckle and agree with him.My son in law is like that.
