Never again use margarine. I stopped about two years ago in an effort to try to eat more naturally with fewer processed foods. It’s not butter, nor actual food. 🌱

Back-up and redundant methods for heat are important here in Maine. Temps drop down well below zero frequently in Winter and I’m often thinking about, “What if?” For the main living area, we have a wood stove and a large propane heater. If I want to work out in the garage I’ve had a kerosene heater for that as well as some smaller propane heaters. To add to the overall heating system picked up another kerosene heater for $25. Came with 3 gallons of fuel as well. Good deal!

Time for an oil change.

The 1st amendment was set up to allow speech and expression that people might hate. The way the left has expressed “dissatisfaction” with certain speech and spoke of legal options against those that promote what they don’t like is scary.
One quick example of the attack on free speech – Elon Musk was a hero of the left when he was just someone pushing electric cars. He buys Twitter and talks of free speech for all – and he has been relentlessly attacked. Old Lefty Robert Reich has called for his arrest and imprisonment.

When many of us mention election interference some may think of totes of votes being pulled out at 1:00am to feed the machines. Yes….that may be part of it. An organized direct pursuit to influence an election and drive votes in one direction via manipulation of ANYTHING is election interference.
It goes beyond simply convincing citizens to vote one way or another. It’s corruption and manipulation at its core.

Some preps don’t require a ton of money or research. A couple of extra manual can openers are critical if the food storage program contains a lot of canned food(mine does). I have a good amount of P38 and P51 can openers as well. Think about if you put together a box of a few cans of food for a neighbor and they don’t have a manual can opener. Good to have extras.

I’m not watching the debate tonight. My temper and anxiety won’t allow it. At another time I’ll get updates and maybe I’ll watch it when I feel ready. I know what’s going to happen. I’d rather go out in the chilly Maine night and work on food storage and other preps that I can control. I’ll do me and you do you.

The very thought of Kamala Harris makes me feel like I’m going to vomit.
Watching her talk or seeing her face causes a spike in my blood pressure.
Reaction to Biden is the same.
They are truly the enemy of all U.S. citizens.We didn’t see the evil coming
and now it may be to late to stop it.
This is not a matter of people with different ideas or an opposing world
view.
Satan and his minions are working hard to cast their spell over us all.
I’m scared to death that they will win and then all will be lost.
If we want to keep our country there can only be one solution.
I still use margarine on fresh bread, but I’ve switched to butter for everything else. We actually use less of it, and adding just a small dollop to whatever I’m cooking adds so much flavor! (I keep my house too cold for the butter to be spreadable.)
I’m also realizing how much I miss my grandparents. They’re a different breed than parents. When I try talking to my mother, I generally get a flat “I’m not helping you plan for Armageddon”, which is her standard response to everything that won’t be used right away. But mention that my son needs a new adapter so we can use his gas grill NEXT summer, and she immediately orders the part from Amazon and has it shipped to us. Thank you, Mother! I can now add “gas grill” to the charcoal grills, wood stove, and rocket stoves that are scattered around the property.
