I know I've been through ice storms and snow storms and there was no problem with gas lines during those emergencies. I would think about finding out if the law concerning burying 'material' is set aside during an earthquake event. Burying it would alleviate quite a bit of diseases popping up. I'd be the one to use my head and bury it anyway to prevent illnesses. I'm not suggesting this for anyone else, just me.Angie's frugal Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501238383146880477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-60431670843032860102016-09-17T04:13:51.385-07:002016-09-17T04:13:51.385-07:00Yes, an important theme.

Those might be blizzards, ice storms, tornadoes, flooding, earthquake or fire. In California now, we need to be prepared in case of earthquake and most of what you've suggested applies. It would be illegal here to bury human bio waste. I'll have to review the state recommendations about how to handle that issue. A generator is a good idea if a family can afford one. Do you need to know where the main gas line is to your house and how to turn it off? In an earthquake, that's important, but I'm not sure otherwise.EM Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897942424655139102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-4605838327613423082016-09-15T11:35:17.012-07:002016-09-15T11:35:17.012-07:00I'm sure the tulips are from South America.

There is always<br />the"danger" to say something wrong. Please excuse me!<br />Now, what I meant is you must have many decorations for all seasons. The English word FUND<br />seems to have something to do with money. The German word FUNDUS can be used for different <br />meanings.

I do admit it took me a couple of years to get use to not working every day, but once I did, I am so happy to be retired. You'll find living on SS isn't as difficult as you might think. You need and want so much less. It affords you the time to be thankful on a daily basis for all the important things in life. Thank you for your comment and stay safe.

I don't decorate much but when I add a touch of the season for fall I usually put out some of the pumpkins that I grow and a scented candle. I also have a scarecrow I put outside by the carport. We live in the country on 5 acres and I just let the seasons changing decorate my world. The corn and beans ready for harvest, the sumac turning red, the garden vegetables and the many marigolds I plant. I do bring some of those in. My husband and I are retired just this year so we are learning to live on Social security income and odd jobs that my husband picks up. He actually has quite a few as he is a remodeler by trade and a man who can fix just about anything. He is liking this time to catch up on the many projects he's wanted to do for awhile but didn't have the time for. Your post made me want to do a bit of decorating myself but I've been busy cleaning up the garden mostly now that the canning is finished.<br />NannieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-87163490994448972272016-09-11T23:52:26.634-07:002016-09-11T23:52:26.634-07:00Hi Angie, I'm interested in your yogurt called...Hi Angie, I'm interested in your yogurt called Noosa.

Each<br />growing season for a vegetable has an end. Lamb´s lettuce (mache) would be a good follower<br />after cucumbers and this is a delicate lettuce in autumn and winter time.<br />I must wait for rain and than I can do more garden work.
