These are wonderful ideas. I have stuff all over, I hate being cluttered, and even though you can't see it, I know it is there. I will stay tuned to Iran and N. Korea, nasty little buggers.

That is funny, kids are great. I am sure the Lord was smiling too.

Wow you are doing much better than I. We have a very small house and finding places to put food storage is minimal. My husband has built some shelves but those are filled up with canned foods. I need to go down and have him start making dump runs and clearing out stuff, maybe that would help.

LOL, I just realized that is what it looks like. Too funny.

Thank you to everyone. I have been putting away a little bit here and there and have been able to can some fruits, just lately though it has become like a nagging wife. I need to take inventory so that I know what I have and need. These are terribly exciting times but very scary times. I did get a 72 hour emergency kit put together, it is stuffed inside a Rubbermaid garbage can, I might add it is a new garbage can. Maybe I will start a compost pile, if seasoned right can make a nice pate' to go with green jello. Ok I am just joking.

Lutheran, I watch very little tv because of the garbage on it. I imagine that you are more prepared than a lot of people just because you have had to be. Did you gather up the tp in your yard and roll it up and store it? LOL I would have. Watch because they might come back wanting it from you.

Teancum, Thank you, I feel the same way too. I started reading the Book of Mormon and thought about how Lehi left all things behind except just what he needed. That would be difficult, cause I love my laptop. :) Someday we might be asked to do the same thing and I wonder how easy that will be?

Reading this gave me an odd feeling. I have been inactive for a few years, but a few months ago, I felt the need to get things in order and felt that something would happen within 4 years. It was such a strong and nagging feeling that I have become active again.

Thank you

I am new here. I am a member and a mother of 8 children and 4 grandchildren. My husband is non-member and so I find that I am almost in search of answers on how to be a good Mormon woman with a good Baptist husband. I hope I will find those answers here.
