Natural pain relief will be a series of posts. Each post will cover one natural pain reliever. Not everyone will be able to use every natural pain reliever due to allergic or other adverse reactions. Although everyone experiences pain at some time, as we age, we tend to feel it more often. Joint, muscle, neck, and back pain tend to become constant companions. While there are both prescription and over the counter pain relievers available, most of them may cause…

I know I haven’t been around for a while. I have had some medical problems and we are just getting to the end of our busy season at work. So, things have been a little crazy, not leaving much time to blog. Well, actually, all of my posts are “new” again. I changed my hosting plan and, unfortunately, my blog wouldn’t migrate the way it was supposed to. Oh, well, at least I have them up, again. I’m just glad…
Last time we talked about the very basics of food storage and how using a food storage calculator will be helpful. We, also, discussed some of the commercial products available. This time we are going to start looking at some of the ways you can prepare your own food for storage. The advantages of preparing your own food for storage are you know exactly what’s going into your food and it can be quite a bit less expensive. The biggest…
If you are new to food storage, one of the first questions you probably have is, “where do I start?” I recommend starting with a good food storage calculator. A calculator not only gives you a list to go by, but also keeps track of your inventory. I sampled a number of them and decided the one I liked best was foodstoragecalculator.xls (direct download link), provided by Jodie and Julie, over at Food Storage Made Easy. Here’s what the first section…

To find a farmer’s market near you, try entering your location at Local Harvest. They have a pretty extensive listing for every state. The other way to make sure you are getting the best organic produce is to grow it yourself. Check out my Pinterest link for a number of good articles on…
Most available information about prepping advise starting with food and water storage. While that is, obviously, important, I’m going to advise, as more mature adults, you start with your health. Without your health, you will have a much more difficult time surviving a long term disaster, no matter what you have stocked in your supplies. As we’ve aged, most of us have been gradually plagued with more of both physical and internal medical problems. We’ve been conditioned to believe these…
Zombie apocalypse? Space invaders? Okay, not very likely. I’m not a tin hatter, paranoid, or anything like that. I’m a 61 year old realist who sees what goes on around me and what can happen, so I want to be prepared to take care of myself, just in case the need arises. If I wait for something to happen, it’s going to be too late. I also know, from experience, there probably won’t be anyone coming in to help. In…
