The following assorted pieces of information come from gathering up various tidbits that were just languishing in an "Odds & Ends" file.
__________A Bitter Pill to Swallow
Years ago a neighbor watched as I made a face after swallowing a nasty tasting pill. "Why don't you put some water in your mouth first and drop the pill into it and then swallow?"
It worked beautifully and I've been doing it ever since.
Speaking of swallowing pills:

Speaking of swallowing pills:
- Tip your head BACK to swallow solid pills and caplets, they settle to the opening of your throat and go down easily.
- Tip your head FORWARD to swallow capsules, they float to the opening of your throat and go down easily.
- You may give yourself whiplash by trying to quickly do both of the above with a mix of capsules and solid pills in your mouth (oh, c'mon, you KNOW I've tried to do it!!).

Plan Ahead
With the flu making its rounds you may find it useful to have a bunch of "Convenience Bags" on hand (when I was a kid they were called barf bags).
By putting a 13 gallon plastic bag inside a regular paper grocery bag you'll be able to line the paper bag and fold the plastic bag over the outside of the paper grocery bag. Then, fold the lined grocery bags flat and tuck a stack of them wherever they may be needed: under a sick person's bed, an accessible spot in the car, or next to the toilet for those unfortunate times when someone is dealing with both nausea and diarrhea.

Hand Sanitizer to the Rescue!
Ever been in a situation where you're concerned your deodorant may let you down? You can use hand sanitizer or alcohol to stop stinky bacteria in their tracks. In fact, some people use alcohol in place of deodorant on a daily basis.
" From my own experience in business and as a lawyer and church worker, and from my firsthand observations in this country and other countries of the world, there appears to me to be a trend to shift responsibility for life and its processes from the individual to the state. In this shift there is a basic violation of the law of the harvest, or the law of justice. The attitude of "something for nothing" is encouraged. The government is often looked to as the source of wealth. There is a feeling that the government should step in and take care of one's needs, one's emergencies, and one's future. Just as my friend actually became a slave to his own ignorance and bad habits by refusing to accept the responsibility for his own education and moral growth, so, also, can an entire people be imperceptibly transferred from individuals, families, and communities to the federal government.

Interesting the info about the bags... I guess when one thinks about the one year food storage, or the 96 hour emergency kit, one tends to forget these details. Other things to include in the storage might be; sanitary napkins (even if you're "past" those days, they are excellent for deep cuts of for stopping hemorrages), deodorant, brush & comb; disposable camera; baby wipes; and toothpast, among others...
looooove your blog!!!!!

I store hydrogen peroxide for cuts etc., but my dentist suggested to use it as a mouth wash after brushing my teeth. Itis a germ fighter and works very well. I use it at night before bed and in the morning my mouth still feels clean and fresh. I often use it other times of the day as well. It has no flavor so it is easy to use but it may bubble up at first.
How is your husband? I hope he is well, don't forget about the green smoothies, they are truly healing. I am well on my way preparing my food storage. I have 15-5 gallon jugs for water and a 55 gallon barrel. The 72 hour kits prepared all except for the personal info and such. And 3 months worth of dinners! Now I am working on the staples, wheat, beans,rice, etc. Thanks for all the encouragement. You probley don't remember but I'm the gal who got really scared when someone said the time for preparing was over! Websites like yours and others have helped me so much! Blessings, Penny
I have so enjoyed your blog for many months! Thank you for sharing your own wisdom and the knowledge of others. You have been a blessing to me. I pass on your ideas to my grown children.
