Dig Your Own Well! Always have Clean Water!

I could not sleep at all last night and finally at about 4 am I got up and watched some news. I have a Roku and I usually watch RT or NHK. I turned it to NHK this morning and right when they started this story about The Japanese being Well Prepared. It was a very interesting story and showed how they are adding wells to apartments so that they will have clean water. That the one thing that they had none of after the Earthquake was clean water. In the story is one about a man who made his own well for his house with only about $40.00 worth of items. You can also find tons of information online to do this. It does not have to cost a lot of money I am finding out and it does not take too long to do it either.

How To Survive Martial Law

Click Here to Learn how to survive Martial law. Get more info about this hostile takeover. Protect your family by learning how to be prepared and how to survive it.

The Hostile Takeover Is Imminent


Do we have a reason to worry?

At this point, we all know the state of our country is going down the drain. You see horrible stories about our government utilizing “dirty politics” to achieve personal goals and agendas, not help American citizens like you and me. People are losing their homes at record rates, and being foreclosed on by banks who received tens of BILLIONS of dollars from the Government, which WE pay for via our tax dollars! This means the Government gave the banks our money, and now the banks are not using it to keep us Americans in our homes.

>>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< A Martial Law takeover is just a matter of when, not if! The headlines on television continually remind us that our safety isn't something that's assured, and that the government doesn't have the welfare of us American citizens at heart. People are protesting about the atrocities committed against you and me, the American citizen (and rightly so) but the government doesn't see it that way...They see this standing up for our rights as oppression and they're ready to take action against people like you and me to stop it. >>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< I want to do everything I possibly can to make my fellow Americans aware of how to survive Martial Law. If none of us stand up for our rights, our American heritage, and everything we stand for as American citizens, this country is doomed! I want you to have the tools to protect what’s important; your family, yourself, and your home. Don’t become a victim, help me in the fight against Martial Law. >>>Click Here! to control the safety of you and your family<<< The Prepper's Pocket Guide: 101 Easy Things You Can Do to Ready Your Home for a Disaster Ultimate Family Preparedness Pak

Food Storage Recipe - Bean Dip

There is nothing more that I live for a snack than tortilla chips and dips. I like salsa, guacamole, cheese dip and this bean dip.

Bean Dip

1 c. dry refried beans - I had made my own dehydrated refried beans in my Food Dehydrator , but I used them up quick and ended up buying some from The Ready Store

2 c. boiling water

2 T. dried onion

1/4 t. garlic powder

1/2 t. chili powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 c. sour cream powder mixed with 1/2 c. water

Add boiling water to beans and onions; allow to reconstitute for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Blend in seasonings. Add sour cream to bean mixture.

For a thicker consistency, chill for one hour or overnight. This is so good.

Making a list of some great ebooks for someone I know, you can read them too. LOL

Buy Stuff Even When Do Not Need It - For Stockpile

I have a habit of doing this. There are a few things that I buy every time I go to the grocery store even though at the time I really do not need it. I do this to build up the stockpile of stuff that I use almost daily. Toilet paper, aluminum foil, dish soap, shampoo, salt & pepper, etc. This stuff I can buy for low cost. Our local store has most of this stuff for less than a dollar. So it does not take from my grocery budget. Plus since I use this stuff a lot I save money. I never run out and I also add to the stockpile. It does not have to cost a lot to build a stockpile and once you get started, it will become second nature to be able to get good deals. I buy stuff when it is on sale. Use coupons. One other thing that I do is save all of our change. Once a month I take it to the grocery store that has one of those CoinStar machines and cash it in. I then take that money to buy ONLY things to add to the stockpile. Canned goods, sugar, coffee, etc.

Recycle Candles

Gather all of your partly used candles and place them in a metal coffee can or a pan that you can just use for melting candles in. Melt the candles down in a double burner style, coffee can inside a bigger pan with water boiling in it. Remove all of the wicks with a fork. Place a longer, new piece of wick into the center of the mold that you are using as you pour the wax into it. When the wax cools and sets completely remove it from the mold. Now you have a new bigger candle. You can get Candle Wicks online for a pretty low price. This is a great way to always have candles of a good size and not throw any candles out. Melt them down and reuse the wax.

Phase 7 - A Pretty Good End Of World / Virus Movie

I watched this last night and thought that it was pretty good. It did have some graphic violence in it , so I would not let any kids watch it , but it was not too bad. It is foreign and has subtitles.

Product Information:

Coco just moved to his new apartment with his 7-months-pregnant wife Pipi, when their building is quarantined due to the outbreak of a deadly flu. Soon, neighbors become enemies and Coco is forced to join forces with the loony, but well prepared and stocked, Horacio to defend the contents of his fridge and keep his pregnant wife safe. Meanwhile, outside the quarantined building, the world as they know it is disappearing. No wonder no one came when they dialed 911.

If you like this type of movie, than you will like this one.

Alternate Forms Of Lighting

I really do not like that idea of having to use those nasty CFL lightbulbs. So I am trying to come up with other ways to get light. Some of them are obvious, Candles and oil lamps
. But I also want some other ways to get some light too, that might not be so dangerous in a kids room. I already use some solar lights. I put them out on my back porch during the day in a flower pot to charge up. Then at night I bring them in. They work as great night lights in a kids room. I got some at Dollar Tree a while ago and wish now that I had bought every single one that they had. I had only bought 3 of them to see how well they work, found out they work great and 2 days later went back and they were sold out. :(
I am thinking of getting one of these, Designers Edge L-949 10 LED Rechargeable Solar Panel Shed Light. I could put it in our southern facing kitchen window with the panel outside the window to charge it up. That would work great. I just wonder how much light it puts out.
We also will be doing a lot more things that do not require a lot of lighting. My son bought me one of these for Christmas, Ritelite LPL792XLB 5-LED Computer and Book Light, Metal and it surprisingly works great. So I can sit and read at night and not have to turn on a bright light. It helps too, when others are watching TV or playing the Wii and do not want the lights on. I can read in peace.
I am still trying to think of ways to get alternate forms of lighting. I have a pretty good night light in the bathroom, that already keeps us from having to turn that light on too often. So I am always thinking. Those CFL bulbs are dangerous and are bad for you. I have had 2 of them given to me over the last few months and both of them lasted about a week, blowing up! Which cannot be safe plus have they have mercury in them.

Iowa Caucuses & Homemade Noodles

That is how I am spending my night. Watching the Iowa Caucuses and making homemade noodles!! I think that this is an exciting time. So much can happen and change in the coming year. This is a very crazy time to be alive. We all need to do a lot of praying and making homemade noodles. LOL That is how I spend time when I am nervous. Making noodles. How do you spend time when you are nervous??

Homemade noodles

1 beaten egg
about 1 tablespoon of milk
1 teaspoon salt
and flour

I use enough flour to make a good dough for rolling. I roll it out thin and then I use my pizza cutter to slice it into long thin strips. I just leave the noodles out on my kitchen table to dry for a few hours. Than package them up. I usually use this recipe a couple of times at one time. To make as many noodles as I can. We use a lot of noodles.

I hope that everything goes well tonight. With the Caucuses and my noodles.
