Water, Water is not Always Everywhere to Drink.
In our news, Cobb's stricter water limits go into effect http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/cobb/stories/2007/10/31/waternw_1101.html?cxntlid=inform
In addition, in The State Reservoir level key to drought meeting http://www.thestate.com/361/story/216778.html Water levels are dropping fast.
According to WLTX News Our Governor Wants South Carolinians to Conserve Water http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=54722
The drought is here already. Here in Orangeburg at the north fork of the Edisto River you nearly can walk on water. To a tall person you can walk across the riverbed and not get your head wet. The river is our primary water supply for Orangeburgh, and DPU (Department of Public Utilities) has yet to put out a water rationing notice. With no rain in sight is seems DPU is lacking in wisdom by not asking the community to slow down their water usage.
According to another AJC.com news story “Better safe than thirsty, say Atlantans stockpiling water”, http://www.ajc.com/search/content/metro/stories/2007/10/29/waterhoarding1029.html People are not waiting for the government to act on the lack of water or its purity. Atlantans are stockpiling water to ensure they have plenty to drink.
In today’s world of Muslim and Palestinian terrorist along with drought conditions one must be prepared for the safety and well-being of one’s family and community, stockpiling water is a way to do that.
Since one can always use stored excess water and is generally safe to store, it is necessary do.
The moral of this story is to live a “Thrifty life in Carolina and Beyond™ one must buy products as thrifty as possible and that may mean buying in bulk. If one can incorporate one’s community in buying a truckload of water in five and or one gallon containers one can save. The community working together for the common good puts themselves in a more stable and protective enclave
Another way to ensure a continual water supply is to save rainwater.
By putting drain spouts into non-corrosive (plastic) containers/barrels one can save rainwater. You can use rainwater to water plants, lawns, etc. One must filter and purify the water if you use it for human or animal consumption. Saving rainwater is a method homeowner’s use in the West.
Saving water is biblical in the sense that Joseph in Egypt save grain to get ready for the long drought that G-D revealed to him. We should use the same wisdom today’s and thus putting a barrier against potential terrorism dangers.
So check the stores etc for sales on bottled water as well as get your community together to buy in bulk and then call the water bottle company and see how much you can save.
In storing water, you may have to make wooden shelves etc. to hold all yur water safely.

Thrifty Living Lifestyle is best served when done with a village.

Thrifty Living Lifestyle is best served when done with a village.
Buying in Bulk or Wholesale, you have to purchase excessive amounts of product. Duh! However, the sad truth is that when you factor in shipping cost etc. the price is over one’s budget even if it is a great deal.
A box of 9’ x 400’ visquene (plastic sheeting) at Lowe’s™ is $20.36 before tax, or 0.005655 a square foot. While this is a fair price, you have 3,600 square feet of product. For your project, you need 1,000 square feet therefore wasting away in your storeroom or trash can 2,600 square feet. Bottom-line you wasted $14.70+, not a pretty sight and something your wife will probably nag you for years to come. Visquene AKA plastic sheeting is for covering windows during the winter as I talked about in an earlier blog. (Click on link) It has been so nice of weather...
The moral of this story is to live thrifty and is best to join together with others (your place of worship, work, community, etc) and join your buying power to get great deals as well as sharing product overage.
For almost 200 years, people been buying stuff and paying high prices for it, then a man from Arkansas took hold of the retail market and streamlined it. Was this a deep, dark secret that for years was hidden from the world and only viewed by some secret society? No! It was just simple economic fact that the more you buy the lower the price. Sam Walton made the difference via Wal-Mart™ and in particular Sam’s Club™.
If all the churches and synagogues in the Carolinas bought together as one, we would save a container ship full of money. Will this happenen? No not in G-D’s lifetime, Lol. I am not out to “do in” retail establishments, of course this will never happen because there will always be someone that will still buy from Sears™, K-Mart™ and yes even Wal-Mart™ but the rest of us, will use Sam’s philosophy.
Bottom-line: Thrifty Living Best Served When Done With a Village!
Next Time or soon I will explain more in detail how you can do this.

Think Soup
Think Soup
My mind lately is on the coming winter. We need to plan for it as to make our life more Thrifty. In thinking ahead, I think of Soup. While Campbell’s make a good soup (notice I said good not great) I like making my own. When compared to a tiny can to a huge pot of your own making the thriftiest way is to make your ownsoup.
Think Crock Pot
The best way to the simplest and me is to use a crock-pot. It is not large enough to make soup for a huge family but you can let it cook all day and that is the major advantage of it. You let all the veggies seep and become softer allowing the juices to intermingle. You put it all together in the morning and by dinner time its ready to serve.
Think Experiments
One great thing about cooking soup etc. is you can try different ways of cooking it. True you may end up with a disaster meal/soup but you may also get something that is so good it will become a family tradition. Do not be afraid to try to see how others have made a great pot of soup. Email me and let me know of your great winter soups and or dishes.

It has been so nice of weather...
It has been so nice of weather it is hard to plan for Brrrrrr!!! Winter!!!!
Here the leaves have barely fallen and the grass is still growing. It has been nice but to some winter may have already started to show it cold colors. In some places, it does not get cold so much but it is wise to be prepared ahead of time.
Layer clothing is better than one heavy snowsuit; this is true for the windows etc as well. You do not want to seal off all the drafts in the house you need some air ventilation so you do not get CO2 poisoning. I have in past bought or acquired thick mil plastic sheeting and put a sheet on the outside of the window and anoter sheet on the inside of the window. Use the clear type to let in sunlight. We have also cut a small hole so to put a sheet of handi-wrap do to be able to see through for the plastic sheeting for they generally are not see-thru clear.
Little trick, as these will make your utility bill lighter and you in a more Thrifty living in Carolina and beyond lifestyle.

It's time to get off the fast unnatural lane.
It's time to get off the fast unnatural lane. Life used to be simple and sweet and now even with technology life has become too competitive and unfriendly. This is to say that its not tech fault but rather people have become to modern/com temporary not caring and holing up to their own kind/family.
I am from Colorado and life in the western slope was more natural & friendly. i guess it comes from the ruggedness of the physical enviorment and the true changes of the seasons.
In the harvest time of July /august you pick apples/ etc. and preserve them for the long winter. you start to winterize your home by stocking up wood and food.
those days here in South Carolina and maybe else where is not seen anymore. The tele-evangelist have taken over and those sho feed the poor and homeless in the city parks are criminalized.
Here in Orangeburg the seasons really don't change its just usually too hot or too cold, granted that the cold is not like back home but rather its rather unpleasant.
During the winter I usually live in only one room in the house to conserve on utilities. Here i have never had a fireplace or a wood burning stove. I am all alone so i don't can because i don't have the cookware i need or the people to share preserving with. Canning to most is just passe' anymore.
Winter is coming and i am at loss because i really don't want to be here no more. My heart and mind is in Philippines where there is less seasonal change than here in Orangeburg.
Getting ready for the seasonal change can be exciting but also tiring. It works better when a family works together to ready the home for the upcoming season. When spring approaches and the house cleaning begins, opening your indoor enviorment to a new warmer day. But now it's time to close down the foundation vents, clean the air filters, checking the furnace is in working order, clean the fireplace/wood stove. seal cracks and make sure the storm windows are closed. Make sure your family clean the house heater, replace the batteries int eh smoke detectors,planting the new crops you can harvest during the winter months.
Ah, yes winter is approaching are you ready? Making ready can make your life/lifestyle the thriftiest.
