hi members ,
 are you happy . no cares in the world . ?
  well .........   I'm going to bring you all down to earth . 
 yep! only 5 months to go until Christmas. so time to put on your thinking caps 
 and start to get some "gift  lists" made for your families .
  
 what is really necessary and needed I'd say. what with Tornadoes and Floods and Fires. 
 I would say the best thing for any family is a good first aid box ,
 second- a few nice tins of food and plastic containers for water . 
 if you hunt around you will find some I'm sure.
 and some emergency clothing . probably bedding like duvets  and pillows. plus seal wrap for photos 
 or any thing you value which you dont use or see very often. 
 it seems that there is a need for more care to be taken for times 
 when we have emergencies and we are not at all ready for it [or them]. 
 I have been looking around the web areas in that capacity and found a geat site . 
  
 TRY GETTING IN BEFORE THE EVENT NOT AFTER .! 
  
 see here for ideas or use the web site 'quakecare'  for more info . see under 'emergency rations. '
  
  this is a great site so please use it , a very wise thing to do in our times. of floods .fire and tornadoes.  
 of which I am sure many have experienced this year. one or the other. 
  
 manager  Annie.
