We also have a volcano that likes to rubmle at times - it's a few islands away and has stayed quiet for a whle now.<BR/><BR/>I once saw on TV that if the ash is heavy enough it can block out the sun and can cause the whole earth to have lower temps...maybe we just need a few more to go off to counter-act global warming!!Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087221518283526092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-11749479401512854672009-02-02T16:49:00.000-09:002009-02-02T16:49:00.000-09:00You guys are pros in an emergency.

Instead God blessed me with a few older relatives (including my mom!)who needed shelter and care. How exactly does one tell your dear old auntie to dispose of her adult diapers??? Or dear old uncle so and so to GET OFF THE ROOF ASAP! What memories. I really pray you will not get homebound with your rabid children anytime soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913240698925025195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-30772429536214755222009-02-02T13:06:00.000-09:002009-02-02T13:06:00.000-09:00Rabid children, oh my!

I hope the ash doesn't get too difficult to deal with. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious, does the ash situation shorten the life spans of cars or are you all right as long as you do the things you mentioned?<BR/><BR/>I would love to see a post about what you keep in your pantry--what you plan to do with it, how long you could go without going to the store, etc. It makes me realize I should put together some sort of emergency box so if weather or whatever made it difficult or impossible to get out for a while it would be fine.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-54620873756773447192009-02-02T07:23:00.000-09:002009-02-02T07:23:00.000-09:00Well obviously I don't watch the news much.
