[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 413977, member: 84"] 3S, hon, don't feel so bad. I've been planning to restock my disaster stores for some time now. We're preparing the family room and basement to do just that. husband thinks I'm a tad off my nut. Maybe I am, maybe not. Point is, I'll do it anyway. So it doesn't really matter. Y2k I was ready, just in case. Did I really think that the world was going to collapse? Ehh not so much. I mean honestly we'd managed before computers, I figured we'd managed if they failed. It was other people's panic and over reaction I was stocking up against. Did I feel foolish when nothing happened? Nope. Just relieved. None of what I stowed away was wasted either. No harm no foul. My kids got a good chuckle out of it. But then, as they say now, back then they weren't parents with the weight of responsibility on their shoulders. They no longer think it's so funny. easy child and sister in law are preparing for disaster in their own way with what they have to work with. Nichole can't do too much as she's not got much room. And once again I'm preparing. This time? I'll be even better prepared than last time. I've even got IV bags of saline and dextrose ect. Someone need catheterized? Got that covered too. Paranoid? Not really. Pessimistic most likely with a heavy dose of reality. If I don't wind up needing it large scale.....it won't be wasted. Again no harm no foul. If it IS needed though, it will be there at the ready for my family, friends, and neighbors. I do a little at a time per what budget allows. I don't go crazy with it. I just get extra when I buy or when there is a sale. I can't call it paranoia or even PTSD when we as a whole seem intent on self destruction these days. I live by the better safe than sorry rule. But I don't let it consume me or hoover the joy out of life. And I'll tell ya........such stores come in mighty handy during major snowstorms or ice storms. Which is why husband never objects anymore. [/QUOTE]
