Finally not a lurker!
Hello everyone! My mom and brother introduced me to this site My mother has been ‘awake’ for many years so I wasn’t as ‘asleep’ as a lot of others out there She used to say, “Question everything” and as I get older I find it’s easier and easier to do that!
I used to be an EMT and an ER nurse in an inner city, now I work for an adult foster care company (which I love!) During covid I was working as a wound care nurse and almost lost my job due to my refusal to get vaccinated. I was finally able to get my religious exemption letter to be approved and kept that job (which I now work per diem). Unfortunately I did lose my state job educating paramedics in the ER exactly 2 days after attending the January 6 rally (my manager hated Trump).
Being a nurse, I was sometimes ridiculed for my stand on things regarding vaccines and honestly could not believe how quickly the medical profession seemed to dumb down all of a sudden regarding masks, staying 6 ft apart and especially the vaccines!
Anyways, great to be on here and hope to be able to read more when I’ve got the time!!
Welcome!

Hey hey hey! Finally made it here and able to comment. Have lurked for a decent amount of time and enjoy the variety of bantering going on here. I live in northern MN, moved up north for good with my wife altering seeing the writing on the wall with markets before the last selection of president. Ai Is confounding tongues these days, so it is worthwhile to make an attempt to show that we can and will outsmart the stupid section of society that wants us to go along with it's b.s. be well and happy hump day

Hi everyone!

Long time lurker.
Don't even remember how I stumbled onto this board but glad a did.

Seems to me a more mature membership with no drama.

A little bit about myself.

Ex-hockey and soccer coach to my kids

Love reading the stories here.

Thank you for letting me join!
 
Thanks!

A little bit about me as well,

Lived in WV all my life, grew up farming and gardening with the family but have been living more urban the past 10 years or so, also have been a nurse in a cardiac type unit for around 7.5 years. Conservative mindset, like the idea of being self sufficient at some point in the future so I don’t have to worry as much about taking care of family. Also a decent guitar player haha, like some video games here and there as well!

My mom has been on timebomb for over 20 years though and finally got me to join after years of saying I wasn’t really interested, but I’ve matured a lot and decided it’d be nice to have access to other people with similar mindsets as far as preparedness and things go! Anyways that’s all I got!

Hello, I have been lurking on and off for many years. My DH has been a member for even longer. We live in the mountains of WV, hence the name. I love reading the new posts as there is so much shared through this group. Than you for allowing me to join!

I’m new here. Good friend invited me here. I’m always looking to read new things on forums. I look forward to learning and hopefully helping others where I can.
I got bored last winter and took up pressure canning meat. I have lots of store bought fruits and vegetables but had no meat except for what was stocked up in the freezer. I want meats that are shelf stable in case the power goes out.
I like to fish but haven’t done much lately. Things just seem to be getting harder as I get older. I don’t hunt but I love to shoot.
That’s about it about me

New member here. Mister Dobson. I took the name years ago while reading the book Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm. It's a really weird book. Anyway, I am a physician at a major university medical center, and was referred to this forum by one of your members. Thanks for having me. - MD
