As you can see from my limericks, I'm doing great tonite! I've been mulling over what I've accomplished in 3 short months of prepping, thinking about how overwhelmed I was in the beginning and how far I've come. And I owe it all to this forum. Thank you, Albert!     

Albert,

Things have been kind of crazy around here. Found out this week that both of my adult DD's (one here, one in CA) both have to have major surgery in the next 2 months. I am just hoping things stay calm until they get these surgeries completed. Other than that I am just trying to do some more stocking up incase I don't have time later with all these other emergencies going on.

Well Im back...kinda

Hi Komet, at this point, we're all probably as prepped as what we're going to be.  However, we will probably begin to see an increase in new visitors in a couple of weeks from now.  At that point, maybe we can all work together and show the new visitors how to get started. 

Hello Albert,

NP Albert:)  If it happens if I help 1 person then it was worth the time it took me to key those entries in.

I just found the City Forums! Hey, great job!! For all those that participated in getting that site together, this is for you -

Does anyone know off the top of their heads to which countries Praescriptus delivers?  I have friends in Denmark and they aren't able to get Tamiflu through their governmental medical system.  Thanks, bj

Doing just fine, thank you for asking.  We got 2 more trees cut down yesterday and ready to split.  Watching the wild weather out the window.  Wind gusts are supposed to be up to 50 to 60MPH.  Might get a chance to try out that new generator.  Wood stove is going and I'm toasty warm sitting here watching Notre Dame.  Bears tomorrow!!

gretchen - so sorry to hear about your problems.  At least you have comfort knowing they are all safe with you.  I prepped some for my grandkids.  Bought extra peanut butter, applesauce, canned spaghetti & meatballs, extra juice, & poptarts.  Also stocked up when the back to school sales were on with paper, colors, paints, glue sticks, stickers, etc to help keep them entertained.  When these things get close to expiring, I just give them to my daughter now and get new to keep on hand.  Wish you all well and hang in there.

Rodin,

The paints are for a friend of mine and who love to build and paint model airplanes, ships and cars. I like to fill my time up during the pandemic and I hope that I can make some really different model airplanes and cars.

I also brought some more .270 bullets for the mossburg.

Albert,

I haven't forgotten about you Ron.  I will have some information for you by tomorrow.   

Could you imagine us having a convention?

  Hi Albert, I've been gone for 5 days to my family reunion.  We just returned tonight.  I'm doing good, just a little tired from traveling.  I will be spending the next couple of days reading the forum, just to see if I miseed any thing.  I will continue my prepping on Wednesday.

hi Albert, things are getting worrisome....R. G. Webster says they now need new Vaccines because of the H5N1 Fujian-type varient that is amazingly widespread, and Tony Blair want's to stockpile ...I'm not sure what....until the newer vaccine comes out....for the whole of GB.  And they say there is a new widespread Drug Resistant Staph Bacteria they are developing a vaccine for.

Hey Albert,sent ya a couple of emails

Not sure yet, I will ask her 2 play it 4 me and let U know.

Hey Albert!!    With all you do, you still find time to check on us and really show your interest.  So many thanks to you.  You must be a very special and kind soul.  Question should be, "how are you"???  Personally, I'm not so sure about myself these past few days.  As much as I feel blessed to have connected with all of you and to have gotten all this invaluable advice/info, I'm sort of stagnating right now.  The more I read, the so less I feel prepared.  I'm behind most folks and I almost feel like as much as I've spinned my wheels to catch up, I am just not there.  Had no idea of the MAGNITUDE of this thing -- even for just three months!  Time is ticking and it seems, at this point all for not.  Can't be almost ready--kind of like saying almost won.  At this point, I'm sure You're So Glad You Asked This Question   Maybe I'm just tired/ usually don't get discouraged like this.  Guess it's just the unknown of "when".  If someone said, "sure, you've got six more months to prep, things would seem so much brighter.  Well, enough of my belly-aching!!  I probably just need a bucket of water in my face--going to look for an agreeable volunteer (probably won't be too hard to find one either  Thanks Albert, for everything.  Pam

Eating baby food at 6 months is appropriate for that age.  Don't worry so much about "real food" for a baby under 9-12 months of age, that's the idea age to begin introducing real foods.  The reason is because "real foods" have larger proteins in them than baby processed foods and it can be harder for a baby's digestive system than baby food.  It's not just a matter of it being much (which it is to a degree) but is some cases, depending on that protein issue, that can be an important thing as they might have difficulty.
