Rediscovering myself…..on with the new experiences!

My New Year’s resolution read more like a mission statement, but it’s scope covers doing new things, tasting new things, learning new things…….

It reads like this:

“I want mystery and enchantment….I want to explore new tastes and tingles…I want to journey to experiences that entice the mind”

Yesterday I did just that when I had lunch with my Sister at a place called “Taste of India”….check them out at http://tasteofindiafl.us/melbourne.html

It was a taste bud adventure….so many flavors and spices..hot, cool, sweet, tangy…I particularly enjoyed a curry with Goat meat and a vegetarian dish with Okra………it was a new experience and one that was enjoyed very much!

One week ago I hit 2 years as a non-smoker………

Two years, one week, one day, 5 hours, 42 minutes and 53 seconds. 11088 cigarettes not smoked, saving $2,212.17. Life saved: 5 weeks, 3 days, 12 hours, 0 minutes.

Let Haiti be a lesson for our own survival……when the shtf in the cities, you better be able to protect your stuff!

Got weapons? You sure better…… .All of your supplies and years of planning can be gone in a flash if you can’t protect your food, water, etc…….

Mmmmmm Ham and Biscuits………

I just whipped up a quick breakfast for me and the boys……..hot biscuits and fried Ham……

No snow and plastic plates………..

Nope, all the hype was for nothing…..it’s raining but atleast outside my window…..no snow flurries………..

Oh yeah….and completely off topic from snowflakes to recycled plastic…..here is a nifty tip I have been doing……..most TV dinners these days come in microwave safe plastic trays…….I wash them out and then use them over and over for other foods! No use sending them straight to the landfill when they can still have life left in them……….

Things are going to get alot tougher in this country long before it gets better…..you best be planning now!

You want the best investment tip going? Forget stocks and bonds and definently steer away from gold……none of these investments will fill your stomach or amount to a hill of beans if you have to barter for what you need……look at it this way……if unemployment continues to rise and the economy now propped up finally collapses, trucking will stop, store shelves will quickly empty and you will be faced with what you have on hand…….you will have to feed yourself and your family…..think about what you have on hand now…..how long could you make it?  I’m not knocking precious metal investment, but keep it in check……in a collapsed economy, do you really think anyone will swap their food for your gold coins? What’s a good investment? Think FOOD, WATER and WEAPONS………

My employer gave me a $15 gift card to Publix and a $10 gift card to Walmart……yep……I added cans and spices with expiration dates a couple years or more away……..that’s a good investment, my wall between me and the worsening economy, an excellent barter item……most prepper items I would rather have and not need instead of need and not have…..Food is different……we will eventually eat it…….maybe in a regular dinner or possibly hunkered down in the dark of a world gone mad…………..

01/07/10, 5:20 AM….Plam Bay, Fl….The temperature is 30…Brrrrr!!

The slide is quickening………….

Everyday I am become more convinced that our country is spiraling farther down……we are a nation of financiers and consumers….we no longer produce products and have become reliant on foreign powers for pretty much everything…….when the day comes that all the loan notes are called in, we will plunge into a third world status and all hell will break loose in our cities…..prepare now…….visit:
