I'm serious when I say there are millions of us now suffering from PTSD from his first admin. Now, we're dragged into a second. While I see articles about the increasing numbers of people with depression and anxiety issues, no one has mentioned the PTSD aspect... night terrors, fear of speaking out or standing out, etc. I, for one, am plagued by night terrors... on those nights when I *can* go to sleep. Other nights are filled with tossing and turning and trying to make "contingency" plans that can't happen because of a lack of information and/or resources. At some point (after the beast is put down), the government is going to have to acknowledge this and enable widespread help of some kind.

We shrugged our shoulders and shook our heads at seeing the magas develop into a true cult like organization. No idea how to deprogram them. Well, treating millions for PTSD is going to be just as hard, and even more massively important. If not, we're going to have generations (plural) who will be "lost" in more than just economic conditions.

Beans, rice, canned veggies, deydrated or vaccuum-packed products incl. tuna/salmon, peanut butter, other hlthe2b Apr 5 #1

Good list, but the peanut butter will spoil somewhat after a while. Be sure to rotate it. SWBTATTReg Apr 5 #5

I buy natural peanut butter by the case. We promptly go through it and I refrigerate in summer. hlthe2b Apr 5 #8

Smart! Peanut Butter is a good staple to have around, and easy to store, handle. SWBTATTReg Apr 5 #9
