    wide scale preparations scenario

    I'm starting the PR campaign soon. Printing out big quarantined signs for starters. "Rabies" would be very believable here, then later down the road maybe a "Leprosy" or "Ebola" sign. Finally, a PETA sign with a footnote about being vegetarian. I figure that if they were that hungry they could...

    Study Links Soda Consumption to Pancreatic Cancer

    For the last fifty years the number of people drinking soda has been huge and I am surprised that, if what this study says is true, there isn't an epidemic of pancreatic cancer of huge proportions- beyond the Black Plague size. I only know of two who had it and they didn't survive. I know for a...

    Tax Time--Love it

    How many families to start a SS community in a abandoned vilage ?

    There are a lot of ex-patriots living on the continent who learn quickly to speak the local language. I don't see language as a barrier. And money speaks- but there's my barrier. Some of the houses in the links look like they are in need of repair. This might be doable if the host countries...

    Rag rugs!

    In my case I made them from old fabric that would have truly made better rags. I think the rug will be only as good as the quality material used. I also over washed my crocheted rugs and used chlorine bleach in the days before the oxy clean, so that didn't help matters. I wonder if treating...

    Rag rugs!

    I have made crocheted rag rugs that did not hold up well. I made crocheted bread wrapper rugs-even worse for wear. The braided rugs from old coats held up the longest.

    We're building a Pantry (we need ideas)

    This is such good advice! I think the span is no more than 30" without a support for 3/4" thick boards. The type of boards are important too. I've had bad experience with particle board; thought I could reuse a cheap bookcase someone gave me. It sagged badly from heavy jars. Same with the...
