Our weather events here always seem to involve boil water advisories, so I try to think in advance :-)Birdhouse Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075857846666114496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990051924698900788.post-17525028548456951022012-10-25T21:38:53.359-07:002012-10-25T21:38:53.359-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.fireangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299575614572463603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990051924698900788.post-73757596058504083482012-10-25T21:38:34.486-07:002012-10-25T21:38:34.486-07:00AND to those of us who ARE lucky enough to have a ...AND to those of us who ARE lucky enough to have a generator, we need to get ready to take on the masses that need help. Whether it's heat or food storage.<br /><br />Change your guest linens now, clean your guest rooms (and bathrooms!) Get rid of all that old frozen food taking up precious space in your freezers. You know that stuff you keep meaning to throw out 'cause you're never gonna eat it! Your family, friends and neighbors may need room in your freezer!<br /><br />Can you tell what I'm doing at the moment? :) It's trash night here so it's the perfect opportunity before the storm comes to clean up and make room!<br /><br />Get to work!fireangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299575614572463603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990051924698900788.post-90045869889699861052012-10-25T20:24:50.864-07:002012-10-25T20:24:50.864-07:00STERNO!! and camp stoves and charcoal or gas bbqs ...STERNO!! and camp stoves and charcoal or gas bbqs or stoves outside can be used after the storm passes or if you have a covered area like a carport or a gazebo (mine goes to the front porch)<br /><br />Make sure you have cash (ATMS don't work on batteries and neither do most credit card machines in stores. ) <br /><br />Make sure you have a couple of days of medications for you or your animals. And cold foods like lunch meat or canned foods like Tuna etc can be lifesavers. <br /><br />Bag precious photos in plastic bags that seal or tape 'em shut with packing tape or duct tape. Be sure to put a slip inside with name and address and phone number (email whatever) in case it gets blown away or floats away. <br /><br />Batten down outside items like light weight chairs and that soon to be very important charcoal grill.
