I figure I don't have to know everything in the book, just have the book ready so I can look up what to do if it happens! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-39194557368759384342007-09-08T02:38:00.000-04:002007-09-08T02:38:00.000-04:00Thanks to you I ordered some emergency supplies fr...Thanks to you I ordered some emergency supplies from CostCo, including a radio with a hand crank.

In a nutshell, he said "Look at how these people were treated and what they are still going through, because when the next disaster comes, and it WILL come, that is how WE will be treated."<BR/><BR/>I've been slowly accumulating items for emergencies. Our last item was an emergency radio with all the bells and whistles. (It picks up television channels on the radio, too.) I HIGHLY recommend you get one, most importantly with a hand-crank.<BR/><BR/>Depending on your personality type and how frightened you become, read (or DON'T read) The Road. It made me appreciate the importance of planning ahead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-90837897256704865012007-09-06T14:34:00.000-04:002007-09-06T14:34:00.000-04:00I just stumbled across your blog about a week ago....I just stumbled across your blog about a week ago. I think the first post I read was about ripping through the package of animal crackers and writing on the mirror with lipstick...it really made me chuckle and think my Husband would so do something like that!! Anyhow, this is a great post. It is so true, we all jump when something happens and then as time passes we get comfortable and don't think ahead to the next time. I use to hav a lot of these things planned out but now with for children which is really why I should have a plan I have totally put it out of my mind....that is until today...thanks for the reminder!!<BR/><BR/>RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317586938378998499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-39374289072847685832007-09-06T12:42:00.000-04:002007-09-06T12:42:00.000-04:00My husband and I have talked about this alot.

I used to have some sort of long term food supply in case of emergency, and 72 hour kits for our family, but in the moves I got rid of them (expired, clothes to small, etc.). Thanks for reminding me that no matter where we live it is important to have some sort of emergency plan and storage. CostCo used to have individual 72 hour kits. I think I'll put getting those together at least as top of my list......Claremont First Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529859630615522678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884925648183788427.post-16519945957041480352007-09-06T02:13:00.000-04:002007-09-06T02:13:00.000-04:00Uh, this one has me stumped.
