There is nothing weird about being prepared for an emergency.

ya know?

 i got water....plenty for myself for at least 2 weeks. when mom comes back up, i'll grab more, along with more canned food. i'm gonna fill all of my propane bottles, and store em in my garage.
 what i don't know(and feel i should), is if i were to try n store gasoline, how exactly do i store it long term safely? i don't think having plastic 5 gallon gas cans around is a good idea. i've got access to 55 gallon drums, but i'm not thinking that'd be too safe either........

Here's one idea on the storage of gasoline.

I absolutely HATE those FEMA commercials.  Don't get me wrong being prepared is always a good idea *BUT* when they are complaining about balancing the budget and all that I would think that spending money on those adverts could be put to better use.  But I have to stop right there.  I can feel Skuzzy lurking over my shoulder...

Going back to the subject of the commercials though.. have you seen the one where the wife is massaging the petals of her flowers and being a total   to her husband about being prepared for this and being prepared for that and every time he says "Yes dear" the tornado gets smaller and smaller!  I can't STAND that commercial I just want to reach through the screen and strangle her!
