Top 100 Items to Disappear First During a National

Done with the dogs! I got tired of having to ask people to keep my dog when I go out of town. It costs $50.00 a day to board!!! Then my carpet has never been so clean! I love dogs just not at this time in my life....maybe when I am retired and have no place to travel.

Thanks Penham... Thinking about getting a dog.

Thanks for posting, Coyote

No Problem! Prep on! I think that we will all be glad that we did, as I think It's already starting to hit the fan or about to!

Stopped in for a sec and found this great post.

Any dogs are a good idea, but you want ones that bark, so the little yappers are often more important than a big dog that doesn't. Also they eat less. Dogs aren't my defense, they're my alarm. Little dogs seem to be more vigilant than their larger cousins.

And lots of it. Duct tape even keeps planes in the sky. You'll just have to trust me on this.

Waste of batteries unless you're stupid enough to run a generator inside your dwelling. And once it starts beeping because the batteries are low, you're going to throw it across the room, or it'll draw in people you don't want anywhere near you. I can hear the one back home in the neighbor's house a city block away beeping every thirty seconds when their battery gets low, then they leave it run like that for a month until someone gets ***sed and smashes it, then the landlord installs another one.

Bacon in a can = more important.

Peanut butter should be high on the list of everyone's foodstuff choices. It's super high iin everything that'll keep you going and will keep near indefinitely if you do your part and keep the lid closed.

 

Popcorn, on the other hand, isn't edible without expending energy that would otherwise be used for another reason. It's very energy intensive to get edible. You've got to expend nearly as much heat to get popcorn ready to eat as you'd have to do to boil rice and beans which *WILL* fill you up.

Unless you're going for trading wampum, skip cigarettes. They're not necessary, and quit now. This goes hand in hand with getting healthy now rather than later. Any addiction you have will be an added burden. And let's face facts here: If defecation impacts oscillation the exact last thing on my "To Do" list would be to voluntarily continue an addiction.
