Did I not see a list for the first 100 items that might disappear from the store shelves first? I may have seen it elsewhere or may be I am with fever & never did such a list make an appearance anywhere and I need bed rest asap. Any ideas?

Of course, I am in the wrong section! It has always been that way; whether i was trying to find my seat at a concert, parking space J 23 at the airport, or
aisle B for popcorn in the grocery store. Excuse me, pardon me! Annie, thanks for the proper directions. What goes around comes around and yes, I will probably BUMP into you again. "FEVER, ANY COUGH, BEEN AROUND ANY BIRDS? YOU SAY A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD YOU TO TAKE A NAP????? LOL" |

Goats/chickens From a Sarajevo War Survivor: Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a war - death of parents and friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks. 1. Stockpiling helps. but you never no how long trouble will last, so locate near renewable food sources. 2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden. 3. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster. But there is no luxury in war quite like toilet paper. Its surplus value is greater than gold's. 4. If you had to go without one utility, lose electricity - it's the easiest to do without (unless you're in a very nice climate with no need for heat.) 5. Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without heating. One of the best things to stockpile is canned gravy - it makes a lot of the dry unappetizing things you find to eat in war somewhat edible. Only needs enough heat to "warm", not to cook. It's cheap too, especially if you buy it in bulk. 6. Bring some books - escapist ones like romance or mysteries become more valuable as the war continues. Sure, it's great to have a lot of survival guides, but you'll figure most of that out on your own anyway - trust me, you'll have a lot of time on your hands. 7. The feeling that you're human can fade pretty fast. I can't tell you how many people I knew who would have traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne. Not much point in fighting if you have to lose your humanity. These things are morale-builders like nothing else. 8. Slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches |
