Hello All,
I found this forum yesterday and am beyond thrilled to be in touch with so many like minded folks. I hope I can contribute as well as learn from all of you. I am a state of rushing to prepare although I guess I have been preparing for years. Just wasn't quite sure why that tiny little voice kept nagging. Now it is obvious. I am lucky to be high atop a mountain in TN and family close enough that we all pitch in. I count myself lucky to have been a Girl Scout - that sounds odd - but I learned so much that is all coming back. I also have several like minded close friends in IN and it really helps to bounce thoughts & ideas back & forth. I have a large garden, can and dehydrate, have a root cellar and goats for milking and making cheese & yogurt, chickens for eggs & meat, bake my own bread, have a dog for guarding my fine self and enough books and games and "music makers" to occupy me for the next 45 years and am well armed. Oh...I intend living to 110 which outdoes my grandma by a couple years. I went through the 1970s gas shortage and that began this journey I think. We heated 2 large buildings with Fisher woodstoves and that taught me alot. I do not buy food at the grocery, have eliminated high fructose corn syrup & as much artificial poisons from my food supply as possible. Am an enemy of Monsanto & completely opposed to NAIS (National Animal Identification System) but I imagine you all know what the initials stand for. I think that's about all I can think of. I am semi bad at computers so if I make mistakes, please be gentle.
I bid you farewell with this thought...Hi-low-eenie-meenie-ki-ki-um-chow-chow-eee-wa-wa...Does anyone know what that means?
