TIME TO CHANGE TIME



It's time to reset your clocks ahead one hour as the days are getting longer. Actually the days are NOT getting longer. A day is still measured in a 24 hour cycle, give or take a few nano seconds. We just think the days are longer because of the tilt of the earth's axis and more sunlight-daylight is is available to assuage our senses. Or I could be wrong. Obama may have lengthened the 24 hour earthly rotation by--oh say--an hour or so, by Executive Order--so we all could work longer and harder and pay more taxes. After all, he does sit at the right hand of God...don't ch know...and he has the power. At any rate, don't forget to set your clock...SPRING FORWARD.







JUST IN TIME. I got off the phone just in time to catch the dryer shutting off. Perfect timing as I don't want to my cloths to lay in the dryer and get all wrinkly. Because then I will have to get the ironing board out and iron...who wants to that? My washing machine and dryer do not have all the whistles and bells on purpose. The more technical gadgets and electronic gizmo's or parts in a appliance, the more that can go wrong it. So I keep to the basics. Thus far, my washer and dryer have made it 25 years with only the replacement of one knob...knock on wood.







FOR PREPPERS






Buy salt. Buy a little or a lot according to your income. The human body needs salt. People also need table salt with iodine to ward of thyroid problems. Salt is used in, curing, cooking, minor medicinal purposes and also in baking.






Buy baking soda. Baking soda has multiple in uses as in baking, cooking, medicinal and hygienic needs.






If you can afford to, add baking powder to the list. This items store well in cool, dry areas and will last for years.






Sugar or honey should also be on your list. Sugar should be well sealed against moisture and heat...and ants.






I am considering posting a short Preppers reminder list each Saturday. Most preppers know and have these items already, but a few new readers may wonder through and maybe....benefit.

What do you think?
