I look forward to reading!pinkvisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235427803156647212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418864336444933765.post-52689634945492411562010-11-26T20:09:29.714-07:002010-11-26T20:09:29.714-07:00Wow, Chris.

I agree...Wow, Chris. You certainly are realistic :)<br />I agree that being prepared is very very important. But I guess I've only really thought about it in my everyday life (being prepared for class, etc.) I haven't put as much thought into long time considerations as you have. Would you agree that our culture is very "living for the moment"?Alexia https://www.blogger.com/profile/08277029553868903502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418864336444933765.post-81302993216544336822010-11-26T19:31:46.798-07:002010-11-26T19:31:46.798-07:00My grandparents lived in preparation for this thei...My grandparents lived in preparation for this their entire lives. It all seemed silly to me when I was growing up. Of course, they never needed it. And they did it because it they were children of The Great Depression. You don't forget that kind of going without. It makes a mental impression and when you do have the means you live in a state of "preparedness." I remember their basement always seemed like a bomb shelter. As a teenager, I thought that they could successfully survive for years on their canned goods and they had enough soap for their washer/dryer to last years. My grandma bought everything when it was on sale whether she needed it or not. Of course, she was the same woman who got an orange for Christmas as a little girl.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.com
