If you are a canner and have extra jars, or as you empty them, don’t store them empty. Fill them with water. They don’t take up any more room and you have water available.

Living rural I had a guy show up at my door at 3:30 am. I heard the car and flipped the bright porch light on. He had not knocked. I yelled through the door “what do you want”. Said he was here to pick up Randy. No close houses. I yelled back wrong house. He left. But I truly believe he was seeing if anyone home. I was still up with lights on. Had nobody answered I believe he was going to break in house or barn. He was pretty rough looking. When he left he did not stop at any other houses to pick up Randy. Went all way up to highway. I had “protection” in hand. Never opened the door.

Here in Denmark we are right now having a very unusual weather. At Christmastime we had a terrible storm that we have never seen before, people who lived close to the sea had their houses overfloaded with water and destroyed. Now, just 2 week later we have lots of lots of snow faling, shops cannot open as people who worked there can’t get through the snow, other parts of the country has so much rain falling which we havn’t seen for more than houndred years, and again now peoples houses are overfloaded with water. And I think hmmmmm, that a lot of people who have their homes destroyed with water ( due to the change og climate 😂) these people might be easier to make belive that something needs to be done with the climate, so they unfortunately proably will follow the agenda that is given to us from the government. First “they” make sure to make life miserable to people, then they come with “the solution” to help people. It’s a very funny dynamiks “they” try to make look like is comming only from the change in climate, which by the way is caused by we the people - 😂 We can’t belive anything that we are told.

Out of my 10 hens I was surprised I got 6 eggs. Normal is 2-3 19:29 in the morning. Agreed need extra bedding for the animals. I'm in northern Indiana so far it's been rain. With a little snow. Stay warm everyone

I've been following you for a long time and appreciate all you do. I just want to say there are times you have no control, and what you have done is wiped out. Recently, I lost my rice and beans due to vermin at the same time my husband is on his death bed. I have been feeling empty and drained. Like butter spread to thin on too much bread(Bilbo). God reminded me that He is in control, not me. I could not make it through this without God.

[@ahicks414]

Agreed! *Beyond winter" 13:00:00 minute mark = Here in the Omaha area, after a big snow storm, dumping lots of snow on the Omaha area, it sometimes takes days to dig out every street. The main roads might be cleared but sometimes the trucks & equipment are kept busy when blowing snow or more falling snow or ice makes those roads impassable again so the residential areas might NOT be able to drive anywhere for a week or longer. It's easy to forget those times happen but they do. Also, even deep ditches can fill with snow & drivers cannot tell what is a flat surface and what is a deep ditch. I tried to turn around one day outside Council Bluffs and one tire slipped into the ditch, in the deep drifted snow. Luckily a wonderful truck driver stopped with his coveralls on and jumped into the snow and pushed my small car back onto the solid surfaces. Bless him!! And those extremes are what we all need to prep for. And keep your gas tank full. Plus what if your heat is only keeping the place halfway warm enough? Humans and pets will gradually get colder over time, the body temperature of old folks and young children can be affected within a couple days, just by cool temps. It's hard for them to warm up very fast. All of that we need to watch out for. And keep a thermometer handy, take your temperature every day, because not everybody can tell when they are slowly getting colder. Stay on it. OK, quickly here: March 30, 1987. surprise blizzard in Omaha. Home alone. Lost power at home. My kids were visiting their dad across town. No phone access. My car was snowed in - in my under-duplex garage. I didn't own a snow shovel, just moved there from apartment living. Had no cash. Car had almost no gas in it, sitting on Empty. No food except peanut butter. No power meant no phone service at home and we didn't have cell phones yet. I tried a trick I learned from my boss back then - pair up some of your problems and let them solve each other. Problems? My main gripe about my teen daughter was she refused to pick up all the pennies in her copper color shag carpeting in her bedroom. So I headed in there and combed through the shag with my fingers. Found 97 pennies. Planned my steps carefully. Emptied my small plastic trash can, used it to shovel the driveway. Made sure I had everything and my route was cleared. Backed my car out of the garage, didn't stop to close the garage door, which was fine, kept moving to avoid being stuck in the snow. Headed downhill to the gas station on Saddlecreek that accepted cash.. Asked the attendant if I could get 97 cents of gas and he made it happen for me. Yay! Drove a block up the street to an ATM and withdrew $40 to fill my tank. Filled the tank. Headed to work where there was heat and phones and lights and a vending machine of junk food. Yay! Stayed there a few hours. Headed back home, power was back on. The kids called. All was well. Taught me to PLAN AHEAD!FCOM

I've learned when I hear the Good Lord speak to me about getting our doing something..and I drag my feet He's sending the message over and over OR worse He's quiet with His guidance, I've learned it's much better to get off my behind right away and be faithful to fulfill His direction. I know I will be in a much better place when I do so. So when He recently told me I need pew-pew beans I was at the store looking at what they had and what I was going to purchuse.

I agree - there is an air of expectancy with normal folk. Even the alternative news have mentioned it because of the multitude of distractions going on. Keep calm and carry on as best you can. We are due some minus temperatures next week with real feel of even worse - but only up to -8 because of the wind chill. A relative was complaining that the forecast for day 8 onwards always says sunny, but when it comes closer, then rain will be forecast. I said yes, that is the same on mine and it is like a carrot on a stick. They can't seem to forecast for the following day so no point in looking at the week ahead. More rain, but at last the wind has eased!
