The What You REALLY Need to Survive Survival Kit!

Reblogger Susan Emo

Here's a great list if you're worrying about the forecasted storm hitting!  You've got survival kits and then there is real survival kits -  I like this one that Pat has come up with but obviously, it is a humourous list so no letters please!

beer canAs the ice storm of the ages approaches Hamilton County Indiana, I immediately thought of posting a helpful blog giving readers suggestions about what to stockpile. But standing in line at the grocery store it quickly became apparent that any advice I could come up with was unnecessary. Not to mention extremely conservative. No way would I have suggested a full 10 GALLONS of milk!

But when my co-worker's husband called to remind her to get extra toilet paper and BEER, I decided to compile a different sort of list. It's called:

The What You REALLY Need to Survive Survival Kit!

Beer - It's genius, really. Beer, wine, or something mixed with orange juice (for Vitamin C) should top every survival list!

Chocolate - Because there's almost nothing chocolate can't fix.

Ear Plugs - After Day 1, whining will commence. And who needs to listen to that?

Dry Shampoo - While you're freezing  to death you might as well have good hair. It's sure to put you in a better mood!  

Gum  - It could come in handy if you're rationing water and find it difficult to brush your teeth without rinsing.

The National Enquirer, or any other gossip rag - Intellectual reading is all good, but after a while you'll appreciate stories about people whose lives are WAY more unfortunate than yours!

What do you think? Any other ice-storm survival must-haves? I probably still have time to make a run to the grocery store!

I noticed that my trips to the grocery store have changed since the days I had little kids.   Top of the list wine, followed by bloody mary mix.  coffee, brownie mix and sour cream for dip for the chips and of course the world famous cheese doodles.  I have to work very hard to keep my weight up.

LOL Liz!   It is a struggle isn't it.  So little time, so many goodies to choose from.   I think I'd be happy marooned at your home  :0)

Susan, how about condoms? If your bored, you can blow them up and pass them out to provide good entertainment for the kids. And if its real cold, perhaps they can come into other use. LOL
