Muffy, If you run those gamma lids through hot water it will soften the gasket and make it easier to put on the bucket. That is what I learned to do the hard way.
I have had a bad head cold. Suppose to go to church tomorrow night for a dinner but don’t think I will make it. Don’t want to give this to anyone as our church members are about 1/3 out with flu as it is. And then there is church Sunday. Not sure about that either. Depends on this cold. Haven’t had one in over 8 years and don’t know where this one came from. I forgot how bad it can make you feel.
Amy hope you got your visa card squared away. I to have been down that road.
I do have a question. I have seen on here and other places where people are putting their food buckets in garages which is also my laundry room. No heat nor air condition. Would the heat in garage in summer effect the food even though they are packed in mylar with 02 absorbers? I am filling up about 4 more buckets of flour, rice and such but was wondering if I could store them in garage on shelf. Winter would not be a problem as it is usually cold in garage but summer it gets really hot. My 3 closets are overflowing now and I have no more areas behind furniture to put a bucket. I would think heat would shorten how long I could keep the food.
Those of you getting snow and ice, please be careful. No one needs to be injured from a fall.
OldmtWoman: I hope all goes well for you and will keep you in prayer. I had that colonoscopy this past tuesday and all went well. We have a friend that had one a few days before and found out he has colon cancer. But on the good side they caught it early. He’s having surg. on March 8th. I am sure you will do just fine and will be feeling better and getting stronger before you know it.
We have our new air conditioner put in next week so that is one project out of my way. Now back to the decluttering. It is not as easy as I had hoped.
