5-24-13

5:50am


Right now it's 45 and feels like 39 degrees.
Supposed to be 64  today.
Tomorrow night it's supposed to be
39 degrees.  Brrrr!
Heading out to some yard/church sales this morning.


11:45am


Yard sales were kinda crappy today.
It was very windy and chilly out!

Laundry room sign .50 cents



Windex Outdoor.
Hook up to hose to clean windows with.
goes for about $9 in stores.
Paid $4.00 for new bottle.

Plastic clothespins .50 cents.
I use these for clips for chips, bread, cereal, etc.

Plant bracket hanger .10 cents

Candle .25 cents



Spandex girdle type top .50 cents
bra $1.00
jeans .50 cents



Cell phone $2.00.



Plant probe $2.00 talked down from $3.00.
It tells you the soil moisture, amount of light
a plant gets and the PH of your soil.
This will come in handy for my vegetable garden!





3:00pm


I don't see where we are going to make our high
for today when it's 57 degrees out and windy.
Still BRRRRR!
Don't think it would be so bad if it wasn't for the wind.
I have a pullover and a button sweater on today.
Was wanting to work on my water storage today
for the garden, not.  I got as far as just strolling
through the garden to check everything out
and raced back to the house to get warm.
Most of my green beans have come up 
since yesterday.  Radishes and cucumbers
are still continuing to come up.
Need some heat for
my tomatoes and peppers not this cold stuff!
I sprinkled a little epsom salt yesterday
around the base of the peppers, tomatoes
and zucchini plants to give them
a dose of magnesium sulfate.
Epsom salt is a natural fertilizer
which doesn't cost a whole lot.
They sell it at the dollar stores for a buck!
You can add it to soil when planting, 
add it to water to spray plant leaves or to water the plants
and/or sprinkle around the plants with it.
It helps with photosynthesis which is
when the plant turns the sunlight into food to help it grow.
It helps your plant to produce more flowers,
fruits and vegetables.
And it helps cell structure and enhances a plants greenery.
You can also use a spreader and add epsom salts
to your grass to make it thick and greener.


6:30pm


Went to the Prepper store tonight.
Stopped in to get a free refill for the air cartridge
in our paintball gun.



FYI
Here's a tip for any prepper prepping for disasters
for lets say things like Hurricane Katrina where they had
floods and there was all kinds of sewage and diseases
lingering in their water and you could get infections
from cuts or what not and there was no help right
away for these people for many days or weeks.
Everyone was pretty much on their own to fend for themselves.
Did you know you can obtain antibiotics
or penicillin WITHOUT a prescription
and be able to stock up on these for disasters.
You can!  The same prescriptions that your
doctor would normally prescribe you can
be found in your nearest pet store!
Now you can't overdo it with antibiotics
unless you REALLY need them
because your body will eventually become
immune to them if you use them too much.
You would have to do your own research
to find out correct dosages and allergic reactions to 
other medicines for specific problems though
and only use them in cases of emergencies
like a disaster where there are no pharmacies 
or doctors to turn to.
Anyways, if you go to your pet store
and get fish antibiotics they are same
thing as people antibiotics usually prescribed
by a doctor!
Like I said these would be for emergencies only
to have on hand for any preppers!
Any other time you would want to see
a doctor first for sickness and get a prescription.

Below is a list of aquarium branded medicines which contain commonly prescribed human antibiotics: 


FISH-MOX which is Amoxicillin 250mg (http://www.drugs.com/amoxicillin.html)
