Housekeeping without Power: Water Supply?

"Homemakers whose plumbing hooks up to the city mains should seldom have any question about an adequate water supply unless a main breaks."

Typically if your electricity goes out your water will still run.

Water issues usually come from broken water mains or contaminated water.

With a broken main you might not have a choice. You will just have to do without.

So you do you have some back up water for cooking and washing?

Will you be able to make a store run for a couple of 5 gallon bottles of water?

It's easy to prepare if you know something will happen to your water before you lose it.

We would stock up on water and emergency supplies during tornado and hurricane season.

This post isn't just about "housekeeping" without water.

This is about emergency preparedness.

This is when all my hours of watching Doomsday Preppers will begin to payoff!

You can start today on your water storage ideas.

Collecting rainwater can help if you have one of those attention seeking gardens.

This is a good way to save on your water bill in keeping your lawn green and flowers blooming.

Check out some grey water systems too!

Grey water is any water that doesn't have biological contamination.

A good example of this would be water left over after you take a bath or wash your hands.

A lot of countries use a grey water system to prevent water waste.

You should rotate your water storage as well. Water, even if it sealed, can go sour. So be sure to use your bottled water before it goes bad and replenish what you have used before an emergency.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
