I completely agree. Canned goods, preferably some that can be eaten without warming up, because you may need to save heating and cooling powers for a time if the power goes off. In the winter and there is a snow storm that causes the power to go out, you always have the snow and cold to help preserve your food supply, but what do you do in the summer? Water, bread if it can be somehow preserved, canned goods and things that don't need heating up like spaghetti o-s, beans, fruit, tuna fish, etc. Peanut Butter is a great protein provider. and make sure you have a manual can opener. That will not be gourmet dining, but, this is survival not a visit to Trump Tower.

Edited for an added question.... Someplace in the back of my mind, I seem to remember that there was some type of canned bread. It's a very vague memory and it might have been some type of novelty bread. Does anyone else remember anything like that?

B@M had a molasses bread in a can. It was pretty good.

Enjoy the bells at the top, everyone. I imagine Steve will be taking those away soon, now that the holidays are over. I just played Jingle Bells, and didn't hit one right note!

I put in new bags each time. Don't you use trash bags?

We do the same. It's nice to use bags. Take em to the curb for pick up. Nice for the garbage people too.

I'm sorry you have had a very rough year.

That the thing though Betts, compared to a lot of people, my year has been as smooth as silk. No one told me that I had a terminal condition and to get my things in order cause you're on the way out. So, even though things like I mentioned happened (including my X's passing) my life has been solid with just a few tiny little obstacles to get over. It just seems to be more then usual and hard not to keep myself from getting sucked into self pity for no real good reason. It's like the death of all these celebrity people, they had a bad year, I just read about their misfortune.

I'm having the rooms freshly painted.

Look at how tall those trees are in 'our' backyard.

Do you suppose that Betty White still lives there?

@donaldtoo , I saw a movie that I think you'll enjoy. Have you seen Sully yet? Great film!!!

Do you not have anyone who could help shovel you out? We don't get a lot of snow here, but when we do, I shovel my neighbor's walkway because she doesn't appear to have a shovel herself and her elderly mother walks over all the time and I'd hate for her to fall and break something. So I shovel and salt for her.

No, this city is just not friendly. No one helps each other on anything. And some neighbor's won't speak to other neighbor's because they don't like how they look. It's crazy.

22 degrees here this morning. People are frozen in place as they attempted to walk on the sidewalk. I think the wall should be built on the Canadian border and keep that crap up there.

Yes, Trump has the wall on the wrong part of the country. North please.

I may have missed a few pages. Sorry, I hope I didn't miss anything important. It's time for my nap. Getting lazy.

Sully was definitively a great film.

 

[donaldtoo]

Our predicted high temp for today was 71F.
Right now, it's 73F.
Definitely unusually warm for this time of year, even for us...

Thanks, Minnie!
We haven't seen it yet, but, I've heard it's a good film. We'll try to see it, soon.
That event has always been of interest to me.

You're most welcome!
It looks like it was fun, and glad the boys loved it too...!
