Hi Marjorie!


We were on another (now defunct) forum together, too. I was under a different username there, though. You taught me how to use OxyClean to get my whites really white in a laundry thread. :lol: Funny the things we remember, isn't it?

How funny, Marjorie!

I'm drawing a blank on your previous username or the forum, but I could take a wild guess. :cheeky-smiley-067:

It was a small, private forum started after some conflict at this board. Several of us also were over there. It was only active for a year or so if I recall correctly, but it sure was fun while it lasted. Anyways, over there I was Little River. As I said, it was a LONG time ago -- '99? '00? I just happened to be using Oxyclean yesterday and remembered it. Add to that I saw a subforum here called The Front Porch and it all took me back :D

Anyways, I've been hanging around over here for a few days now, reading up on all sorts of old posts.

Went to Costco and got a membership today. Grabbed 2 huge packs of batteries, stocked up on organic peanut butter, bought 15 boxes of mac & cheese, and saw they have shelf stable milk. It's nice to be back around people who consider prepping to be more than grabbing a few extra cans of corn at the grocery store :)

I was thrilled to find a feminine site for preparedness and sharing ideas and support in the tough times. I think of myself as a gentle preparedness person. Our home is in continually saving, stocking up and circulating stock, gardening and canning, heirloom vegetable seed saving, making homemade mixes, raising my 8 hens and composting. We are currently reinforcing our home security due to the poor economy in the NW. We have our own business and strive to be as self sufficient as possible.



Wow, I found another me! I also think of myself as a gentle preparedness person, and live in the NW. We've always canned and stockpiled. I have seven hens and we used to raise our own beef. But we are older now and my husband is in poor health so we have given that up. We are in a buying group for organic milk and meat now. I'm interested in being able to pass on my knowledge of being prepared to my grown children and getting them involved with stockpiling, getting out of debt, and gardening.

Hello Carly. Welcome here.
She looked at the wolf with a sweet smile . The wolf asked what was in her basket. `Food for Grandmother`she said..
She then opened her basket and took out a sawn off shotgun.
A few days later she walked through the woods in her new wolfskin furcoat...

Lesson learned, so not mess with girls who are brave enough to go into the woods on their own.

Hello everyone!
I'm Fancy from Oregon. We garden, canning what we grow, dehydrate a lot too. Being prepared is also very important to us, just something about growing up in the "duck and cover" era I suppose.
So.... Hello all!
