Muffy…..you said:… am I too old for this? 🙂 no it’s important that I stay involved and engaged in life though there are times when I think it would just be lovely to sit and do nothing…  ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! I keep saying that too, tho I’m somewhat home-bound. Yet…there are creative ways to be “out and about” …if not literally. We all must find our own best ‘pace’ in our lives as we currently deal with it.
Amy Dixon….EE sold out to Augason??? Oh I hope they remain good quality/service!!! Well…their foods. I’ve never been too confident in their choice of brands for tools, hardware, stuff. They do GoalZero but that might be good quality…I don’t know. You said you have some? Do you like that brand? I know some of their brands are not what I want in quality..in their BOBs. “Adventure Medical” stuff is good tho. YMMV {your mileage may vary}
Padded Cell….80,000 calories = 50# wheat berries. Oh..good information!!! I have a list of data like that..somewhere. Important for realistic calculations. Next question: What square foot [or acreage] area would one have to plant in THEIR particular location to REALISTICALLY yield 50# per person in their group?
LittleSister….I have done two types of organizing. Sometimes I make buckets or boxes that have a little bit of everything inside. In case I only get to grab a few things. Other times ….and the way I’d prefer if not for the above concern…is to group like next to like so I can FIND things easier. {sigh} The stuff nearest the exits are likely to be the mixed stuff. Grab N Go. Otherwise, I’m with you….also working on ORGANIZING THIS MESS! 🙂  Think about your labels tho…. If you ever had a confiscation or theft, you might want a color code or a key code that you and yours know. I like names like “Christmas decorations”….”Jeans -too small”….”Craft paint”… Y’all know what I mean. But don’t fool yourselves. {ask me how I know….DH thinks I’m crazy!!!} Someone mentioned different colors of tape. That appeals to my sense of organizing!!!
OW….I was working on that Altoids oil lamp again. Enlarged the hole the wick comes thru. Still using the denim strip for wick. It’s about to be retired…if I can think of another idea. Enlarging hole didn’t work either. Might be too high from the top of the oil?? Tried opening the tin and laying the denim along a rock above the level of the oil. Held the wick up with a tweezers. Well, I could see that the oil was burning quite nicely and then it dries and burns the denim just as quickly. Then the oil dripped on my finger. Yeah, OW. But that’s what the aloe plant is for. Got a bit of leaf juice on quick….and kept applying til it didn’t hurt. If you’re gonna play with fire, keep near water and aloe! {roll eyes} Think I need to research.
