Nevermind bananas.


Enjoy getting any shopping, ordered and delivered, whilst you can.

Even if you soak it, you'll have to chop it into very small pieces, before it's palatable.

I already have - the axe by the door ensures I hang onto it:D
Scavengers will raid the allotments first.
There are four edible weeds within a 4 minute walk.
I have 2 (paper) books to identify edibles and water purification drops to clean water from Tinker Brook.

PS you may recall a thread a while back where I asked about local springs ;)

Party sounds promising -let's have one in any case...to ward off the inevitable! I know it's your gaff -but I'd warn Babs to lighten up or I'll not endorse his invitation...:D

Luckily I am my Gran-mother's protegé - she was a great survivor and I have picked up many of her war-time tips and instincts too!

As to foraging -no probs. do you like rose-hip tea? I can recognise mushrooms too, the poisonous ones could be traded with poisonous folk...:rolleyes: I can also kill and pluck feathered things -the joys of farm living. If you ever fancy a roast heron or such...;)

Either way, it was not a good time. I also remember, before that time, the idea of locking petrol caps on cars was almost unheard of. During the worst of the petrol shortages the company I worked for was selling them by the hundreds to prevent theives from siphoning the petrol from your car at night.

Margaret's idea of self-sufficiency isn't as half-baked as it sounds. And even in a depression there is always a bob or two to be made.

Have I upset you all. I'm sorry... Oh dear where are The Empire Girls when you need them?

Oh. Here they are...

I really can't believe how bad that is.

The Mayan Prophecy, interesting reading but personally, I'll have salt on mine please. :)

2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong : Discovery News

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
 

Just about forgiven for that -charming actually -not bad at all!

It's a song my Grand-mother used to sing....it's very optomistic in it's way.

You might make it to the party yet -especially if you do a tip-tap routine dressed as a little sailor-boy!:D

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
 

If Mayan prophecy interests you there are some informative lectures on this site
Mayan Majix - Learning Lab (playlist on the left side)
Ian X Lungold based his lectures on the research by Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, whose book I have also read.

It is not an end of the world doomsday prophecy.:rolleyes:

Incidentally the Mayan prophecy matches those in the Hindu Yugas

Loath as I am to blow my own trumpet, there's nothing little about this sailor boy.

But some have taken it to such levels & that is the thing that some people are focusing on.

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
 

There is reason why 'they' do that
....but I ain't gonna say - had enough ridicule for today:D

Well, the news isn't all bad:

Canada?s Strong Banking System: Benefitting Canadians

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For
 

Don't think Goldman Sachs' hasn't noticed. Look at the people in charge and then look at the additional positions they hold and the groups they are members of.

If Canada isn't feeling the financial heat right now, that means one of two things: either you are already bought and paid for or you are just being kept in reserve.
