Those are usually the works of the short sighted and immature. The same people consuming them most insatiably.

Our electricity was out for only 17 hours, but we had to go out to eat, because I had no way to cook and cold food on a cold day just wasn't doing it. I'm going to have to take some of your ideas and get prepared for next time. Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1166282514694050082006-12-16T07:21:00.000-08:002006-12-16T07:21:00.000-08:00We used to camp quite a bit, but i've never homest...We used to camp quite a bit, but i've never homesteaded like you ... dreamed about being off grid though. I guess my gardening and canning, learning how to sew, and making your recipes from scratch is as close as I'm going to get. <BR/><BR/>Now I'll be teaching others these great skills. I just finished studnet teaching Wednesday and was offered a full-time contract on Thursday, I was pleased with the offer and accepted. A whole new generation of kids will be learning your ways, imagine one of your cookbooks as a required textbook. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1166268120038110342006-12-16T03:22:00.000-08:002006-12-16T03:22:00.000-08:00Wow, I hope you write more about your homesteading...Wow, I hope you write more about your homesteading days. Homesteading was a major dream of many folks in my earlier years but I knew no one who actually did it. Bryanna, you should write your memoirs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1166241986120970452006-12-15T20:06:00.000-08:002006-12-15T20:06:00.000-08:00yes, its pretty bad all over the place with power ...yes, its pretty bad all over the place with power outages..you all have it worse because of where you live. I agree with the overspending with xmas gifts and wanting to please...but some people do this for reasons unknown to us. it is a physical need or an emotional need that they were deprived of or are still being deprived of so have to fill this need. My ex father in law was a jewish prisoner in a camp, he had no food, nothing. Today he is a wealthy business man in Toronto, he stocks and re- stocks his cupboards, and buys and buys the most food and clothing that he can..for no reason except he is afraid and it causes panic inside of him if he were to NOT do that. It is a deep seated feeling for most of us when we overindulge and by too much for ourselves or others and go into debt. It fills a void...makes us feel good for a time...like your daughter in law trying to make herself feel better by pre paying for someone's gas. (Are the vehicles insured? who pays for that?). Others do it simply out of guilt for what they cannot provide for their children in an emotional or physical sense we do what is the only option left in our own mind...and to some people that is to "spoil", to buy, to give, to take guilt away from one self. To make yourself feel better. People that have a deep seated guilt or bad feeling or a general sense of wanting to be better do that. Its mostly human nature. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas over there..hope you get all your power back on in time for the holidays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1166232868596002702006-12-15T17:34:00.000-08:002006-12-15T17:34:00.000-08:00I am amazed and impressed with your creativity and...I am amazed and impressed with your creativity and ingenuity. I don't honestly know what in the world I would do without power for 24 hours. I don't even know if we have a working flashlight. You have inspired me to get better prepared!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
