Another Prepping Trip To Dollar Tree

Finally made it to the Dollar Tree again. This time I focused on medical items. Picked up some Zrtek, hand sanitizer, exedrin, bandages, rubber gloves, and some of those disposable face mask! 

While I was there I also picked up some bleach and some of those cans of diced ham . Pretty good. It is the ham that is in the bigger cans, but this is already diced up. Pretty good in beans.

There is a lot of items to be gotten at Dollar Tree. It has become my favorite store. I get a lot of my school supplies there also. Check it out.

Prepping For Ebola

Prepping For Ebola (Prepping Made Easy Book 1) was a free book for the kindle when this post was written.

Prepping for Ebola is a brief guide designed to give you an overview of Ebola and to offer suggestions for preparing your family. You’ll learn the signs and symptoms of Ebola, discover tips for improving your family’s immune systems, and even find some talking points for discussing Ebola with your kids.

This book is not a medical guide, nor does it offer a complete overview of the history of the Ebola virus. It is specifically designed for moms and dads to start preparing their homes and families for the possibility of an Ebola outbreak on American soil.

Edible Flowers

If you're new to this phenomenon, you should know that there are a lot of flower blossoms which you can enjoy fresh and even cooked. It may be a bit tricky to find edible flowers being sold in the market but it is easy to grow them in your garden. Since the flowers are intended to be eaten after harvesting, it makes more sense if you'd grow them yourself.
A Few Words of Caution When Selecting Your Edible Flowers

• Be sure you only eat flowers when you're absolutely sure that they're edible. Just because you see flowers as a garnish, doesn't always mean they're edible
• Don't ever eat flowers which have been treated with pesticide that weren't labeled safe for use on food products. Be sure to follow the pesticide label instructions when you're harvesting your flowers.
• Never eat the flowers which you get from florists or roadsides.

Tips When Harvesting and Storing Flowers

• For most of the flower varieties which have been listed as edible, only refer to the petals of the plant. Before eating or serving the flowers, gently remove the pistils as well as the stamens. If there are attached sepals you must remove them too.
• Expect that the flavor of the edible flowers may vary depending on the season, as well as the growing location.
• Flowers that are edible are supposed to be harvested early in the morning, when the temperature is cool. If you aren't sure you're going to use them immediately, cut them and leave the stems in place before keeping them in water. Alternately, you may also store these flowers with a few dampened paper towels and keeping them in the fridge.

Common Flowers You Can Grow In Your Garden

• Borage - This has a fresh cucumber-like scent and taste. It has striking blue flowers which look great when you toss them in a fresh salad.
• Pot Marigolds or Calendula - The petals of the calendula are great with both cooked and fresh dishes because the flower can be used as a substitute of saffron. The yellowish to orange petals can give food a beautiful color and tastes once you chop and sauté them.
• Gem Marigolds - Known also as the Lemon or Tangerine Gem, it has a citrusy flavor, even if you don't get to have the citrus scent. Gently pull the petals off and remove the bitter part of the flower.
• Pansy - You'd be surprised by this one because the entire flower is edible! Pansies are great in giving off a minty flavor which make them great in candying, as well as cute decorations for hors d'oeuvres.
• Squash Blossoms - These edible flowers are very tasty, especially when you stuff them up with a savory filling and fried to a crispy perfection.

Why Do We Have To Have A Lot Of Things?

Well, my Hubbies family has been a round a lot the last 2 weeks since his brother died. And what have they all been saying. That we do not have anything!! They wonder why we don't have a huge tv and why we don't have cable. Oh well! So what , if our tv is about 20 years old and not hdtv. Why do we need cable? We have a roku and get our tv viewing through that for $7.99 a month for Netflix. Our car is "old" in their eyes. But , it is paid off! We are happier since we have gotten our bills in order and control. We only have our utility bills. Nothing else. I asked my hubbies nephew what bills he had each month and he listed so many and then went on to complain about his paycheck being gone before he even gets it! By time he got done he was depressed.  He said that a lot of it goes to bank fees. We are so happy that we got out of the banking system. Took us about a year , but not having fees is so much better! Everyone needs to get their priorities in order. Is having a 55 inch plasma tv going to make you happy? Is having a new car with a huge payment going to make you happy? It did take us a long time to get the old ideas of having more and bigger and newer than your neighbor out of our thoughts. Now we know that having a happy, HEALTHY,  and prepared family is more important than ANYTHING!

Symptoms Of Ebola & How Is It Spread

Some useful Information.

Ebola spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids.

Symptoms of the disease can start to show from two days after infection, but this can take up to 21 days. People are contagious for as long as their blood and other bodily fluids contain Ebola.

For the most part, early symptoms are similar to diseases like malaria and cholera, as well as the flu, which can mean the disease can be difficult to detect.

Symptoms of Ebola HF typically include:

• Fever.
• Headache.
• Joint and muscle aches.
• Weakness.
• Diarrhea.
• Vomiting.
• Stomach pain.
• Lack of appetite.
• sore throat
• rash
•  Internal and external bleeding from the nose, mouth, ears and eyes
• Reduced liver and kidney function
• Trouble breathing
• Bruising
