Whew! ~I know, I've been slacking~
Okay, I Zumba'd my ass off,
30 minutes upper body with a kettle bell
30 minutes yoga stretches.
Texas, what the HELL?!
Reason 101 to Abolish Public Education, Houston Indoctrination
TheBlaze has contacted the Katherine Smith Elementary School several times, requesting an interview with Principal Salazar. As of this writing, Ms. Salazar has not responded to this request. We have also asked Terry Greer, the Superintendent of the Houston Independent School District to comment on the topic.

Snow Fun with WiscoDave
I love you guys. I really, really do. The voices in your heads are just as sick and twisted as mine. So WiscoDave, who lives in an area with a cold, snowy, inhospitable climate that makes me ashamed of all my recent whining and bitching, sent these in this morning. A little snowman fun at work.
And after Frosty melted...
Andy's visitation, RIP...
Wisco, you're a beautifully twisted man.

Abolish Public Education: Brilliant Must-Read
As both a parent of school children, and a substitute teacher who has been able to observe from the inside (nobody pays attention to subs), I came to the conclusion that modern public education has become a poison forced on our kids. For seven hours a day, our children's bodies and minds are in the hands of people we hope and pray think and believe as we do. And in many cases, in smaller communities, they do. HOWEVER, all schools are monitored and aggressively bullied into line by the larger education authorities who, unless you're a communist, and then you've got no worries. Many stories are coming out about OUTRAGEOUS curriculum requirements in my beloved Texas. Children forced to wear burkas, call the 9/11 terrorists "freedom fighters", the Tea Party participants are domestic terrorists, and Islam is a "religion" of peace. Or as Poppy calls it, a "cult of pieces".
Daren Jonescu, American Thinker, offers many good reasons to pull your kids out of the Public Indoctrination System. Many we know, a lot we don't. And still more that will make your blood boil.

Oh, and I also forgot the mandatory inoculations our children are assaulted with from birth to school just so they can go to public school. Yes, I'm one of those batshit crazy Autism moms who thinks the MMR shots have something to do with the onset of Autism. And before anyone gives me the "if inoculations cause Autism, then why aren't all kids who get them Autistic", let me remind you that that was the exact same argument tobacco companies gave when faced with lung cancer and emphysema statistics. Not all people who smoke get lung cancer, it is a contributing factor to lung cancer. ~climbing off soap box~

Self-control, Democrat Level
Oops, forgot to thank someone for the pic. Of course he always wants anonymity, so I'll call him the Masked Contributer.
Smart Cars, because they're cute
Thank you Wisco, because there's no such thing as too many fart jokes. :-)
Concealed Carry for Women
This is really a pretty good video discussing concealed carry options for women. You dudes pretty much have limited issues with concealed carry, ankle, waist or shoulder and your wardrobes don't vary much from day to day. Not so for women. NONE of my pants fit the same, none of the waistbands are the same, none of the legs are the same (ranging from skinny jeans to tailored trousers). And don't even get me started on skirts and dresses. You get hemlines from ankles to hoochie. So we have a LOT to think about when concealing our weapons.
Thank you WiscoDave for the link. Now I must wait for the other Wisco to send in something from his Weird and Wacky file.

Obama's "children"
When traditional values are discarded and progressivism is promoted, this is what you get. These are truly Obama's "children". Hey, Democrats, aren't you proud of the social welfare generation?
For Concerned Mama
Hey, if you read this, I'd love to chat with you. We went gluten-free and casein-free two years ago for our Autistic daughters. I've gone through some of the same challenges prepping with those restrictions.
Little Johnny and the Obama Method
The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she said proudly, "my sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good", said the teacher.
Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." "Very good, Debbie", said the teacher.
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467", he said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. "Toothbrushes", echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make... that much money?" "I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog poop!" Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush? I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth."
Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment. Bless his heart.

Sometimes, it has to be said
And the Steel Ibeam has said it beautifully. I also fell into the "hunker down and wait" mode, putting Krav on the back burner (waiting for a private slot to open), staying off the range (I don't have nearly the ammo reserves I should), and generally playing a dangerous waiting game. There are a million excuses to NOT train, but they won't save you when SHTF. Excellent read from a true Patriot.

My nice hot bath....
Currently, my tub is at the dump and storage is in it's place (I'm a long hot shower kind of girl), but since Bryn suggested a long hot soaking bath, I thought I'd take this opportunity to post some of my dream bath pics. For my dream home. In the mountains and/or beach.
As for the bikini snow-frolicking,
well, you're just gonna have to use your imagination.
Snowmageddon, part II
The snow is deceptive, walking along and then
BOOM, snowdrift.
I really, REALLY hate snow.
Back fence, 4.5 foot drift
Driveway is almost clear, until the road.
House next door had 3-4 foot drifts.
Towards the road.
I HATE SNOW
Snow sucks. There I said it. We live in a wonderful part of Texas where anything goes. We've had thundersnows with tornadoes before. We've had ice storms at Easter. We've had 85 degree Christmases followed by blizzards. We have to be prepared for anything, but some things you just can't count on.
So we lost electricity last night, came back on for about 30 minutes and then back out again. When that happens, only necessary electrical functions are allowed. Which means no tv, computer, videos and very unhappy girls. I need to start looking for other ways of powering electronics during problems like this.
The other thing I'm embarrassed to admit is a gap in prepping. Not the booze issue, although that is problematic. But the access issue. Having things on hand in the storage room is one thing. wading through 5 ft snow drifts from the house to the store room is another. Just because you have what you need doesn't mean you HAVE what you need. Make sure you have everything IN THE HOUSE that you would need for at least 3-5 days. Schlepping extra whatever through snow drifts in 40 mph winds and driving snow is not a fun way to spend a morning. But I have no one to blame but me. Lesson learned.
The transition from Texas living and prepping to Citadel, Idaho living and prepping may be a bit of a challenge. May have to pair Sunbelt Patriots with Northern Patriots in a buddy/mentor system until we can get acclimated.
I'll post some pics later on. It's weird and wacky out there.

Aw Shit
Winds 50 mph, 25 inches expected, lights and tv are flickering, and internet is getting wonky.
If'n y'all don't hear from me for a while, could you please send out a couple of St. Bernards with whiskey and tequila? Dammit, one thing I forgot to prep.
Love y'all,
Angel

Must read on the Obummers
Excellent post over at Mrs. Wirecutter's blog. Seems brains run on both sides of that family.

I'm a prepper
- All vehicles gas tanks full.
- Propane tanks full.
- Generator primed.
- Food stores secured.
- Water stores doubled and secured.
- Security means, don't worry about. I've got this.
You won't see me on the evening news whining about starving to death waiting for .gov to come save my happy ass. I'm a prepper.
Disclaimer: Picture is not my actual storage area. Mine is not nearly that neat and organized, but those are my buckets. To the right would be the canned goods (mine, not the stores), and paper products (toilet paper and feminine hygiene is not a luxury, it is a necessity). As the weather gets better, I'll take pics of the actual Angel store room.
I'm also going to start a series on building a hoop greenhouse, greenhouse gardening with my Jebadiah Fisher Patriot seeds (God I'm so excited about that), and canning.
Drill Here, Drill Now
I always wanted to smack the tree huggers who protest oil production with the meme that it all goes into a "global collective" and won't affect prices at home. My argument is produce at home and screw the global collective. Look at the gas price comparison between oil producers and non-oil producers and ask yourself why is the US so much higher than other oil countries.
Oh yeah, and Fuck Obama, fuck the tree huggers
and fuck Daryl Hannah.
Snowpocalypse! It's coming...
Last couple of winters here have been very mild and dry. Not this one. And while I'm happy for the farmers who need the moisture, I'm sick to death of snow. Now it looks like we're hours away from blizzard conditions, and it's currently warm and sunny out. Gotta love the Texas Panhandle.
More Reasons to LOVE Texas
Drop the boot, drop the boot, drop the boot....
Old or Young Buns, cowboy butts drive me nuts.
Give me a man in Wranglers and I'm a happy girl.
