WATCHWOMAN ALERT (or just my thoughts, I’m not sure which) <\/span> – \u00a0I’m a city-gal; in fact, I don’t like living in the country. \u00a0I did for a short time and I didn’t like it at all. \u00a0However, I sat down at my computer and I went to the Drudge Report and read the alarming headlines I’ve copied and pasted herein. \u00a0A little while later I saw Item #2 in my inbox about what Congressman Bartlett is warning us about. \u00a0I’m posting both herein for your information only<\/span>. \u00a0I am not trying to panic anyone. \u00a0Nor am I endorsing any one’s products or what you should do to be prepared, but it is something I think we all need to think about. \u00a0I want to assure you I have no financial connection to the people who produced the on-line movie and I have never purchased one product from them. \u00a0I don’t know anything about them, but there are some interesting ideas they preview in the on-line movie. \u00a0I am not a survivalist and I would likely be in a terrible position if anything really awful happened, but I’m not so sure this is the best position to be in. \u00a0Our power went off for 3 or 4 days several years ago and it was a horrible time! \u00a0Fortunately, some of my family members didn’t lose their power so they took every thing from my refrigerator; otherwise, I’d have lost every bit of food we had on hand. \u00a0I am not one of the prepared for a\u00a0catastrophic\u00a0event persons, or even a-not-so-catastrophic prepared person, but I’m thinking maybe I should be. I’ve always been a “Que Sera, Sera” kind of person. \u00a0Maybe that’s not such a good idea, aye? \u00a0What about you? \u00a0What are your thoughts? \u00a0\u25ac \u00a0Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/address>\n
