I used to have to go outside to have a smoke. My wife picked up clothes at yard sales and frankly that was alright with me. One day outside having a smoke, one of the ladies who also worked at the base brought to my attention a "price-tag" for the khakis I was wearing was still stuck to my pant leg. Not one of my finer moments, but it didn't embarrass me too much. Kinda funny really.<br /><br />Jackets, sweaters, jeans, and sweats are fine.<br /><br />Somethings however, not so much.<br /><br />I got my wife a pink Glock G23, and my daughter a "Hello Kitty" Colt M4 22Lr. It's cute.<br /><br />I'll let the boy have the scary black rifle M4 22Lr. I'll keep my old DPMS M4 .223.BulgarWheatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-69782691890308573462009-11-02T09:26:31.437-08:002009-11-02T09:26:31.437-08:00In most U.S. schools the police would have been ca...In most U.S. schools the police would have been called and the boy handcuffed and arrested.

This way you'll be buying clothes for pennies on the dollar. I've used yard sales for years as a great resource for inexpensive prepping supplies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-34896639983646554862009-11-02T05:43:29.750-08:002009-11-02T05:43:29.750-08:00Ferfal

It's actually a lot of fun for the whole family.<br /><br />One of the problems I'm trying to figure out is having adequate clothing on hand as they outgrow the clothes and shoes they have now. Like food, water, and other essentials, having adequate clothing on hand for them is a challenge that I haven't quite figured out.BulgarWheatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-82099759848279906432009-11-01T20:27:44.909-08:002009-11-01T20:27:44.909-08:00Your story reminded me of another tale of when kni...Your story reminded me of another tale of when knives in schools were not a problem:<br /><br />The American Police State vs. Little Boys<br />Paul Craig Roberts on how things change out from under us.<br /><br />http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/index.php/2009/04/20/how-things-change-out-from-under-us/<br /><br />It's terrible that in both our countires, Ar & US, things are changing so much that knives need to be taken away or a kid expelled, what's wrong with people these days, is there something in the air? What is it with lust for money and power over others and demoralization being so widespread?<br /><br />... sigh.<br /><br />You might want to teach them the newer lithium batteries explode and to never mix brands, or old and new ones.
