So many store closings. It is so sad to see this happening. I guess online shopping has really taken it’s toil on the brick and mortar stores. Though I had not heard about Lowe’s.
Amy Dixon I had not heard of a compressed air washing machine before. Interesting.
OldMtWoman- my husband has balance issues but his was caused from his stroke. If he falls there is no stopping it. He would get hurt rather bad. I have to watch him all the time as the balance problem has gotten worse.
Muffy. Grandkids are great. You can spoil them rotten and pass them back to their parents. Fun. My youngest of 5 grandchildren will be graduating a year early from high school. Then off to college in the fall. So that makes my daughter, one granddaughter, and this fall my grandson all in college. My granddaughter will be going to medical school in the fall as she is finishing up her science classes now. I have two other granddaughters that are married and both have finished college. And a grandson in the Army. We are very proud of all of them. They all grew up to fast.
Cinnamon Grammy: I see so many people on survival forums and this one which I think is much more down to earth about prepping. But I also see just in my neighborhood alone and I know there are others that just don’t believe anything is going to happen. They don’t seem to understand that WW3 will not be like the last 2 wars. This country will go down in so many ways. I already see it happening in many ways. Just look around us. Store closings happening all over the country. Malls are closing there doors. There will be more strip stores but no more malls as the stores continue to go out of business. I think in some ways our country is already going down in ways I never thought about. I don’t live on a farm any longer as when my grandparents passed away the farm was finished. It has become commercial property and still not sold. But now there is to much town around it. This is what is happening where I live now and want to move out but at this time that is not an option. We have 5 grocery stores all around us with one in walking distance. None of these stores are carrying near what they used to and have stopped carrying a lot of things they used to carry. They no longer keep a back up stock in the back rooms any longer. Though I did find out one thing. I have been buying Ghee from the long term food companies and now Harris Teeter is carrying it. That was a surprise. Never thought I would see a grocery store carry that product. I have been using it for the past few years. I used it to fry up some onions and squash. For those who have never tried it, it taste like butter though it does not smell like butter. It really adds great flavor to the food.
I found someone to cut our grass for us so now hubby only has the garden to deal with. He can’t handle both yard and garden and I have to help him with the garden as it is. But it is fun to do. But his pacemaker doctor will not work with me on the blood thinner, so I am waiting for his regular heart doctor to get back in town on Monday and will talk to him about coming off of it. Yes I used to do this for my patients at work. But it is not like it was a few years ago. The doctors and insurance don’t care anymore about patients. It is getting harder and harder to win on these things. But the fight is not over yet.
