How to pack and keep a "Bug-Out Bag"

A Bug-Out bag's purpose is to allow you to move out at a moments notice--because YOU NEVER KNOW. It is more than a survival kit, and will help you survive while away from home. At our house we call it a B.O.B, and every member of your family should have one.

Step 1 Survival Knife Pack all items in you bag, remembering that each member of the family should have one for their own specific needs. If you have an infant of course you need diapers formula and extra water.

These items are essential for your survival.

Things You'll Need:

1. A rugged backpack
2. 1 or 2 quart jug or canteen filled with drinkable water
3. Small firearm and ammunition
4. Enough non- perishable food for 72 hours
5. Clothing
6. Medication
7. Flashlight
8. Sleeping bag
9. First-aid kit
10. Matches/Lighter
11. Knife/Leatherman
12. Cell phone
13. Tarp - for shelter
14. Folding
15. Can opener
16. Water purification tablets 
17. Map/GPS
18. Money 

I know my first preference in a emergency situation would be to stay at home. You could live quite comfortably for weeks at home even if the power were cut off. You probably have plenty of food, beverages, blankets, and such around the house. If not, now is the time to get them.

That said, sometimes staying home is not an option.

Step 2 In a crisis, it's difficult to remember the small stuff, like

feminine hygiene products and toilet paper. So pack them now. Pack food that has a long shelf life, is high in protein, fat and calories, such as dehydrated food, and meal packs that are easy to pack in a suitcase.

Step 3 After you have assembled your bag, keep it handy and ready to go. You probably already have most of these items around your house, but when time is an issue, you want to have these items in a central location so you're not running around at the last minute, lowering your chances of survival and escape. This is where your B.O.B comes in.

Step 4 You will have to rotate the contents of your B.O.B often so nothing goes bad. The government may not be able or may not want to help you in an emergency situation. The real threat of government seizure of firearms is also very real. No matter what your opinion of guns are, I doubt your B.O.B would remain in your possession for very long without a means to defend it.

How to Tell If Your Boss Is Crazy

How can you tell if your boss is crazy, bipolar, a narcissist, or all three. So, he may not be Stalin or Rod Blagojevich but you think he may be nuts all the same.

Instructions       
                                                                         
Things You'll Need:
Nerves of steal. 
A after work cocktail.

Step 1 
Don't let the boss drive you crazy too. Well, if you haven't read my previous article on keeping a "Bug -Out-Bag" now may be the time. It seems that another head rolls off the ol' chopping block everyday. So, lets keep low and go in to check on the mental stability of....THE BOSS.

Step 2
 Mean boss. You've had some suspicions about the sanity level of your boss but is he really crazy or just mean? Either way you have to go in everyday and deal with him or her so, you may as well get along. Here's how.

Step 3
Appear confident Take a deep breath and relax when you are around the boss. If you don't appear confident and strong he may see you as someone who he can release all of his frustrations on. It is the weak that feels the need to bring others down.

Step 4
Stay positive. Believe that you are a worthy person, and you know how to do your job and do it well. If you have good self esteem you will be able to conquer all of the negativity that your crazy boss dishes out, and you will show everyone how a little positiveness can change their outlook. Nobody says that you have to be friends with this guy. He or she is your boss and you have to respect him and do what he asks but, nothing says that you have to be difficult too because he irritates you.

Step5
Work at Wal-Mart. A new job, you can look for a new job but that is probably not a great idea in today's economy and at least you have a job. Even if you do get another job there is a big chance you will meet the same problems, just with a different set of faces. You can also do what a lot of us do, when we have to deal with a crazy boss clock in, do your job, mind your own business, go home.

Step 6 
If you feel that your boss is really a nut case then you and your co-workers may need to have an intervention. This will get him or her a paid leave of absence to work out her "emotional issues" and out of your hair, for at least a month.

Tips:
•  Do the your best everyday.
•  Try and find something positive to think about your boss.
•  Don't quit you job unless you another job.

How to Marry an Alaskan Man

Believe it or not, there is even a magazine called 'Alaska Men', with plenty of single men to choose from. But how do you meet the everyday REAL Alaskan-born man and marry him?

There are dating websites devoted exclusively for single men in Alaska, but you won’t need a dating site to find a quality Alaskan male.

The men in Alaska still out-number the women, but for good reason. Alaska is not an easy place to live, especially if you are not going to be in one of the three biggest cities: Anchorage, Fairbanks or Juneau. There is no Macy’s, Nieman Marcus or even a Red Lobster.

The professional man can usually be found at F Street Station in Anchorage or at a local seafood restaurant in downtown Anchorage called Simon and Seaforts. The single professional man in Anchorage or anywhere else in the state for that matter, is usually surrounded by a few Alaskan women carrying more than a few extra pounds.

Alaskan men are real. Never hope for a metro sexual in Alaska. For the most part, most Alaskan males don’t get manicures, are not vegetarians, and don’t belong to cigar clubs. Alaskan men hunt, fish and fly their own planes to their hunting cabins. They have beards and dirty fingernails. But these hard working real men have a lot to offer a real lady who can take living in Alaska.

A man from Alaska will have no problem keeping you warm at night, and you will always feel safe with him, because you know he will protect you at all costs. Even if the Alaskan man is not the most romantic man around, you will never be hungry because even with the local Safeway he will be shooting you a moose for the freezer and bringing you home fresh wild salmon for canning.

A couple of other places to meet real Alaskan men in Anchorage are a restaurant/hangout called Humpy’s (that’s a fish in Alaska), Chilkoot Charlie’s which is the local pick up joint, The Hilton Sports Bar, and Club Paris, which is a dive, but has the best steaks in town. Places to stay away from in Anchorage are Darwin’s Theory, the bar for the downtown homeless, Club Millennium which is the underage kid club, and the Bush Company which is the local strip club and meat market.

If you really want to meet a man in Alaska, learn how to fish and stroll up on a river bank and ask him how the fish are biting, or learn to shoot and go to the range at Potters Marsh or Grouse Ridge.
If you do meet and marry an Alaskan man, prepare yourself for a honeymoon in a tent or a fabulous fishing trip on the Kenai River.

How to Not Lose Your Mind While Waiting In Line at Wal-Mart

The average American spends two to three years of his or her life waiting in line, unless you are a regular at a Wal-Mart Super Center. Then it goes up to about six years.

As if all the people bumping into you and walking into you with never an "excuse me" to be muttered were not enough, now we have to wait in line.


Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:
* the patience of a saint
* the attitude of a martyr

Step1
Unless you are a Vampire and like to do your shopping at three in the morning, Wal-Mart is not the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. Its worse than the bank and the post office put together.

So, here you are waiting in line for what would be considered an eternity in some parts of the universe. You can finally make out the cashier's face and BAM, she flips on her "help me" light for a price check. So how do you not become totally enraged?

Step2
Do not go to Wal-Mart if you are in a hurry. Make sure you have plenty of time, because you are not going anywhere fast.

Here are few tips to keep your head from exploding, and telling that person behind you, who keeps bumping into your ankle, what you really think of her and the six kids in her shopping cart.

Step3
Eat.
You probably have food in your cart, or there is a candy rack just up ahead filled with Snickers bars, Frito's and Jerky. So go ahead and dig in. That's why it's there, set up looking like a smorgasbord. The good people at Wal-Mart know you are bound to get hungry while waiting in line.

Step4
Read the magazines.
These are the fun magazines, the ones you don't want to spend money on. You want to read about Octo-mom, Brad, Angie and Jen, and the latest gossip in Hollywood. While you're there, you can read the other rags about life in outer space, and why Obama is gay.

Step5
Talk.
Strike up a conversation with someone, tell them how much Facebook has taken over your life. You never go out with friends anymore because you are too busy typing to them. This should kill some time, or least they will think you are crazy and step a few feet further away from you.

Step6
Stand staring blankly into space.
It’s very restful here in line. Look at that guy walking by with a ham the size of a small car.

Wait.
So now all you can do is wait and daydream and wait and daydream and wait. Or go to Target next time.

Lonely

I am so lonely, forgotten, lost.

I feel like nothing more than a meal ticket.

I am just another bud, line or drink.

Nothing to show for my work, I am just another fucking jerk.

How to Dispute an Evolutionist

By Terri Brisbane,

Evolution a false teaching

Rate: (9 Ratings)

If you are not afraid of a little intellectual debate, and you are open minded (meaning you could change your mind on an issue) I think this might be a fun article to get people thinking and talking.

1. Step 1
   
   Don't be intimidated.

   I am sure that if you study the evidence for yourself you will see that God had and still has a Master Plan for the universe and for us. Making evolution anything more than science is just ridiculous. Comparing Darwinian evolution theory, or some other version there of and creation is like comparing apples to oranges. Evolution and religion are completely two different things so, I am not sure that they can conflict with each other.
   
   To dispute an evolutionist may seem intimidating but it shouldn’t be because, even if you have not studied science you know the Bible was written before there were scientists and, it describes the origin of universe that modern science and scientist are now starting to study. So much time was wasted on the bogus study of Darwinism that science is just now getting back to the history of the universe. Not only Christian Scientist but also secular scientist are digging deeper into how the universe was created.

2. Step 2
   
   DNA is information.

   The Science they think they know.
   Evolutionists believe that matter has molded itself spontaneously into the intelligent form that can be found in DNA.
   DNA is the possessor of information and of knowledge. Information and knowledge are the products of intelligence. Matter cannot spontaneously take on an intelligent form unless you think your coffee table is going to get up and walk away.
   
   Every day, creation scientists are finding more and more reason to believe that evolution is invalid. Organic evolution has never been observed meaning that all observations have shown that life comes only from life. So, life can not come from non living matter.
   
   All of the so called early human bones that supported the evolution theory are now being called by scientist as either hoaxes or misidentified. Lucy for example was the three and a half foot tall, long -armed, sixty pound adult it was said to walk upright. New studies of Lucy’s entire body, not just one knee bone, now show that this was not the case. Lucy probably swung from trees and is an extinct ape.

3. Step 3
   
   Gods Eye.

   The mathematical probability that one protein could form by chance arrangements of amino acids and sequences is basically zero.
   The gaps in Darwin’s evolutionary tree have gotten bigger not smaller as scientific knowledge has increased. Darwin classified life in two categories; animal and plant. Today scientists know there are at least five including viruses.
   
   This is a start I hope into you learning more about the subject of evolution and hopefully provoke thought and a quest for the truth.

How to Decode Can I Come in for a Drink

So, he picked you up for dinner took you to a romantic, moderately expensive restaurant. You had a few drinks and mildly entertaining conversation. Finally it's getting late and it's time he took you home. The tumultuous seas of dating decorum can be hard to navigate.As you walk to the door he leans in towards you, and says, "Can I come in for a drink?"Let's decode what he really means, and what you might say.


Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:
Self confidence

Step1

Dating The tumultuous seas of dating decorum can be hard to navigate, but people have been using the phrase: ‘want to come in for a drink?’ for so long that you'd have to have spent the last century under a rock not to assume that you are being invited for a lot more than a nightcap. So the important first step is, hear what he is saying. In this case, the word 'drink' does not mean liquid in a glass...although anything is possible. Understand that he is asking for an invitation to, ahem, Know you in a biblical sense.

Step2

First Date If you choose to accept the invitation, be aware that the person asking is also assuming that you're both communicating. If you invite him to come in to your home, you are entering a potentially dangerous contract with a person you may or may not know that well. He is expecting sex. What are you expecting?

Step3

To keep communication flowing on your date, and to keep everything light and friendly, know what the possibilities are before you accept an invitation for dinner in the first place, and be prepared. That way, you can strategize the end of the evening. If at the end of dinner, you find that all you really want is another drink, order it before you leave the restaurant. If it's sex that you are looking for, then by all means, let him ask you if he can come in, say yes with a smile, and then enjoy that drink.

How to To Put Gentle Back in Gentleman for Women

When did men stop being gentlemen? I know there are still some out there, but where?

How can women expect their knight in shining armor to show up on his stead if we keep kicking him off it?

Somewhere along the way, we women got mixed up by thinking that men with manners somehow downplay our equality as women.

Gentlemen are a dying breed and it is up to the women to resuscitate him.

We can start by appreciating a gentleman, expecting a gentleman, and raising our boys to be gentlemen.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Beautiful women demand respect Women, we know we have equality we burned or bras and somehow lost a lot of respect for being valued as women. I know a lot of women will disagree with me and that’s ok. I know plenty of women who don’t need protecting. I for one want to feel cherished and protected by my man.
Being a gentleman does not mean a man is a wuss or walks behind women with his tail wagging, quite the opposite actually.

A gentleman has deep respect for women, he knows she is to be honored and adored and is awe of her abilities. A gentleman always has the lady’s interest at heart even if it is just walking on the curb side of a road while taking a stroll.

Step2

Women dating expect respect Women who want to be treated as a lady must act as a lady.

Being a lady we know that men won’t tell obscene jokes in front of, show up late for a date in baggy jeans, ask us for money, fart and laugh about it or, try to bed us in the first month.

We must demand that men be gentlemen and all gentlemen have manners.

Step3

The groom Men are very confused right now not knowing where they stand. We need to ask ourselves how we want our sons and daughters to respect each other and how we want them to be treated.

Yes, Virginia there is a Mr. Knightly

Beautiful older woman

Step aside Sara Jessica Parker, and move over Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: the rest of the “Cougar” pack is here.

What makes a real cougar? A real cougar is something very special and she can’t be missed.

She is much more than an M.I.L.F and much deeper. A cougar is a real woman, beautiful, intelligent, independent and on the hunt. A cougar knows how important it is to take control of her own life and she is not afraid to do so.

A cougar has her own style and unrivaled sophistication. A cougar is not an unhappy old lady looking to chase after younger men or cubs to make herself feel better about her age. The fact is the younger men are chasing the cougar. Right, Demi?

How to Live in a Sexless Marriage

By Terri Brisbane, eHow Member

A Sexless Marriage is actually fairly common, but it's not normal non the less.

You feel hurt and frustration.

A sexless marriage can leave you feeling depressed, resentful and angry.

Being married to someone who lacks sexual desire or avoids sex altogether at all cost also causes low self esteem and loss of affection, not to mention leaving you confused.

You don't want to leave or cheat, so what do you do?

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1

No Sex Your mate is a wonderful person and a sweet person but also a passionless person. While there are some legitimate physical reasons why sex may not be possible, you already know that's not the case.

Is sex the most important thing in your marriage? Probably not.

Step2

Family and friends You have to focus on your family, children, friends and work. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage anyway.

There is no yelling, no fighting and you have been together for many years.

Be realistic. Did you really think that you would have awesome toe curling sex forever? Some do but most do not.

Most couples who have a sexless marriage actually do have sex occasionally.

There is absolutely no reason to cheat. Sex with somebody else will get old, less exciting and you will feel guilty and the sex will probably stop as well.

Step3

Be friends Try rekindling the romance of when you were dating before life got so hectic. Try to fall in love again with the person you married. It probably won't get you more sex but it will make the relationship better.

Look, as long as there is caring and yes, love and respect, then the marriage can work. There is no reason to divorce and upset more lives than your own.

Your mate knows there is a problem too, their not blind to it. Your spouse will appreciate that you stay with them, he or she doesn't want to split either. There's more to a marriage than sex.

How to Avoid The Keeping up With Joneses Syndrome

How to Avoid The Keeping up With Joneses Syndrome

Avoiding debt on things you can't afford. Lower your mortage. Avoiding debt on things you can't afford. Lower your mortage.



The Joneses are in debt up to their eye balls and broke, so why do we want to keep up with them? We should be avoiding them like the plague.

Whether the Joneses live down the street from you or Jones is your co-worker, brother, sister or best friend, trying to keep up with them or compare yourself to them will only lead to your disappointment.

Avoid getting caught in the trap or get out of the trap if you are in it already.


Step1
Stuff you can't really afford. Stuff you can't really afford. Avoid the pursuit of impossibility. It's a giant waste of time and very stress inducing so STOP IT!

So, the guy next door just got a new big screen television, a new car and the smallest cell phone you have ever seen. How is he going to pay for all that debt? Well, I would bet that if truth be told they are barely making it.

Why do they do it? Some people need their McMansion to feel good about themselves or prove that they have finally made it. Others just need to show off fulfilling some perceived social or psychological need to be seen as better off then they really are.

Step2
The newest stuff you don't really need. The newest stuff you don't really need. With the grim outlook for the economy, spending money on status symbols just for the sake of showing off should be a thing of the past. If you are driving a Hummer but have nothing in your retirement accounts, you might want to reevaluate your priorities.

Look, that ipod you bought last month is already an antique and the new and improved iphone has another hundred features you will never use.

Step3
Cut up your credit Cards Cut up your credit Cards Now is the time to trim the fat.

Set your priorities: how many cars can you drive at one time?
We live in a disposable society and we want instant gratification. We see it now, we want it now, we put it on the credit card. Whatever happened to saving up for what we want? If you can't afford it now, don't buy it now.

Leave the materialism of the last ten years behind and be concerned about your future. Start building up your nest egg and cutting out or not getting at all, things like the three hundred channels on Dish network or the Blu-ray player.

And like my mom told me as a kid. What the neighbors do aint our business.

How to Stop Killing Yourself With Food

Food is everywhere we go, twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

Food is on TV twenty-four hours, seven days a week.

TV and our culture offer a subliminal message, telling us that we are hungry all the time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Discipline
• Ambition
• Stick-to-it-ness

Step1

Whether it's emotional issues, medical issues or food addiction, it's just plain stupid to continue to eat yourself to death.

Often, hard-to-budge weight is a symptom of a hidden medical problem, so seeing a doctor should be your first step.

Emotional eating, stress eating and just a feeling of low self esteem and wanting to have control is all part of eating obsessions.

Look, if you are eating a mountain of pancakes covered in syrup and butter with a side of bacon, you are not in control.

Gain control of your life.

Step2

Understand that you have a very intimate relationship with food, a secret love affair.

Let's uncover the root of the problem. You were not born with this behavior. It was learned, or caused by emotional issues and depression.

Seek help.

Seek therapy: to get to the root of why you are eating for other reasons than hunger.

Eat conciously: while eating or mindful eating, think about the food while you are eating it. Why are you eating? Feel the food, taste the food, chew the food. Watching TV while eating is a serious problem. You look down, see the empty plate, and don't even remember eating it. Turn the TV off and focus on the food.

Step3

Guided Imagery: See yourself eating food because you enjoy it and you are nourishing your body's needs. See food no longer dominating and controlling your life. See yourself healthy and strong. You have the power within yourself.

Live in the now, be good to yourself, love yourself and forgive yourself. It's OK to have had the feelings of guilt and shame, but now it's time to let that go and forgive yourself.

Step4

Get outside of yourself. Practice spirituality, give to others. Take some of the focus off yourself, volunteer at a food bank or soup kitchen.

These steps are meant to help you treat the body, mind and spirit, the whole person.

Visualization and Alice

What it is that you really desire? You have to decide.

Pretend you are seated in a movie theater watching everything you really want up there on the Big Screen. See everything in detail, feel everything in detail. It's very important to FEEL what you want, as though you have already got it.


Don't get into the habit of meditating in the future as if you might get it some day. What does it feel like to have your toes sink into the warm sand, what does it feel like to hold that cold wet margarita glass, what will diving into your new cool lap pool feel like as you glide through the water? Meditate in the delight of your new circumstance right now.

You already have everything you desire in the non physical. It is your work to manifest your desire into the material world, and you do this by visualizing it in the Now and just sitting back and letting the Universe do its stuff.

In the book Alice in Wonderland, after Alice falls down the rabbit hole, she looks for a way out. Finally she comes across several holes leading off to different paths, and she meets a cat sitting next to the paths. She asks the cat if he could show her which way to take. He asks her "Where do you want to go?"


She says, "I don't know," to which the cat says, "Then it does not matter which path you take".

If you are a believer in the Chaos Theory, there is no sense in meditating or visualizing. Life is just a series of random events. If, however you don't believe this theory, you better decide now what is your desire, so you can pick your path and visualize your dreams into your here-and-now reality.

We are Alchemist

We are all alchemists. Our thoughts, our dreams become things in the Universe. Everything we see around us is only thought in form.

The Universe moves around cosmically to make things happen for you. What you believe is true no matter what that is. Two plus two is only four if you choose to believe it is so.

We all work with one infinite power. Everything we see, even we ourselves, are born of this infinite power. The Universe is alive and is always working for us. The Universe wants us to have everything we want. Life is not meant to be hard, a struggle. We have been duped into that kind of thinking.

We make life happen just by thinking it. Our thought is the only power that can produce the tangible from the formless. Thought is the most powerful energy in the universe and we possess it.

What we focus our thoughts on is what we attract into our lives, good or bad. This is a law of the universe just as gravity is a law of the universe.

Tell yourself now:

I will think abundance, and I will feel abundance, because Life is meant to be abundant.

You are what you choose to be. Decide now who you choose to be and how you want to live your life.

Sailing your own ship.

What do you want?

You can't screw this up, make a mistake, or dream too big. It's just not possible. We in our physical bodies have never made a mistake. We have only invited lessons that we needed to learn.

So, dream big. What do you want? Wow, that's a really hard question, isn't it? We all want money, health, a big house. But, what is it that you really want? Is it that thing that only you dream of, and think to yourself, 'it just isn't in the cards for me'? Well, with that mind set, it never will be.

Intend it, expect it, allow it. Our friend the universe (God) always gives us what we ask for. Get out of the 'poor me' game and sail your ship to a happier place. A negative emotion comes only from the lack of what we want.

Let go of the old thinking: 'I will be happy when'.....When is here right now.

Life is a blessing and a wonder, and we get to choose how we feel. Live your life for now. It's a gift. That's why they call it the present. Whatever happens in this adventure, we get to choose how we feel and how we react.

I am sailing my ship to the calm seas of my own utopia, not next week, next month or next year, but now, in this 'present'.

Thanks Universe.
