Reply #17: I have enough supplies to last me about .......

[demgurl]

a year before I need to go out of my house. That is, if electricity keeps up. If not, I will have to go out and get propane or something to that effect. I stockpile my goods so I have enough feminine supplies, food, health and beauty items (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, cold meds, Preparation H, aspirin) water, drinks, etc.........I would need to go out for milk after December because the milk I have now is only good through that time but I keep adding more as expiration dates progress on the carton. I have between 35-45 cartons of milk.

This is just he way I have lived for I am not sure how long now. We are filled to the gill with items to cover ourselves and friends. It seems like I am constantly letting family or friends shop at our "store" (their words, not mine). I do charge sometimes but considering the last time my sister-in-law left my house she had about eight big bags of groceries and paid $5, I think our rates are very reasonable.

Next week I will be giving a bunch of groceries for a pounding. (people who got laid off and a few of us are getting together to donate our food for their families - down here, I have come to find out, it is called a 'pounding')

So we do share but I try to keep our supplies very well stocked at all times. You never know when you will need it with this bunch in office.
