Re: Getting Ready for Winter.
'S OK. If I'm at risk of freezing to death I think I've got enough stuff to build a still.
Fuelled by bits of bark, I can ferment and distill the 100 odd pumpkins ( not kidding about the quantity or quality) that are strewn all through the garden. Pumpkin brandy could be a 'thing'.or I could go up in flames or die of methanol poisoning. I come from a long line of hillbillies, it's all been done before

Re: Getting Ready for Winter.
I reckon that is only about 8wks supply @Zoffiel
what are you going to do for the other 8wks if we get a nuclear winter ?
PORT and Whiskey sound like another option

Re: Getting Ready for Winter.
But @Zoffiel, what are you going to do after the first month? Winter is for three months officially.
Re: Getting Ready for Winter.
I know @blossom1961 ! And what if it is a nuclear winter? Fret...More redneck rehab required, just in case.

We were cold last night. Got down to 19. Needed to pull the blanket up to just above the knees!
Everyone in town is happy and eagerly anticipating the dry season.
Time to find the one and only jumper and make sure it is wearable.

Re: The Secret Suckiness Of Life After Breast Cancer
@Blossom1961
I can still vividly remember (and can still picture the scene in my head) a few days after I had returned home from the big city where my world slipped on its axis and chucked me off; of pulling into a parking spot outside our post office to collect the mail, when I was accosted by a "lady" who then proceeded to inform me that my rear left side brake light was not working.
I was very much in my ANGRY phase and I surprised myself and everyone at the post office by replying, "Well if that's all you have to worry about in your day, be very, very glad you are not wearing my shoes".
I would never have responded in such a manner prior to BC.
Got back in my car and drove the 10 kms home and left the mail for another day!
Never did find out who she was. I no longer have much tolerance for shallow people, however I have learnt to keep my thoughts to myself, my anger well contained and my mouth shut. Smile sweetly? Never.
