These are surely confusing times.

I know the feeling and am doing the same thing myself. I lived through the cold war, an alcoholic father, Y2K, 9/11, I am the mother of a handicapped child, been through numerous medical issues, bankruptcy, failed business, many deaths in the family and never, ever before have I been compelled to stock up on food and water.
Not just food and water but medical supplies, medication, alternate heat sources, old cookbooks, the staples like flour, sugar, ect. Never before have I been compelled to do this and I look at my basement with all this extra food stored and I wonder if I am going nuts!
I don't know what is coming but I am not the only one doing this. Something is coming.

These are people who donated food last year, and are now in the position of needing to receive. So, your food storage will be beneficial, whether you need it for yourself and your family in the near future, or if you gratefully donate it later. Win win situation. Love, LB

Also I find myself stocking up on things that would be good for trade...like coffee. No idea why I am doing this. Personally, I think I'm nuts.
