I have been doing a lot of purging again. Some of the purgings I have been doing have been digital and some of it has been physical.

If this year has proven anything, it has proven that people who stockpile goods are not crazy.  While things seem to be in short supply now, you can still find these items if you are creative.

There is a lot of crazy things going on right now. I don’t have to tell you that because if you pay one iota of attention to the events going on around us, you can definitely see that. The world is a crazy place and we are not in control of a lot of it.  What worries me the most is the loss of our freedoms. While we try to prepare for what we can control, we are losing our…
