can you do 21 days at home without a paycheck?got enough water and food?

 

[elkhound]

not to mention the aspect how many just cant keep from being on the go non-stop in this modern world.

can you handle not leaving your home and property for social times many do.this might be the hardest of all for many.

from a singles perspective...can you play checkers or chess alone?...lol....i may get a statue to put in chair like in omega man with charleton heston....lol...naaaaaaaa

 

[myheaven]

We can. We're good for a couple if months paycheck wise. A year at least for the rest.

 

[Litlbits]

I'm retired, don't have to go anywhere. Food stocked, have lots of jigsaw puzzles and good books, I'm good, lol.

 

[mpillow]

Sounds nice to me!

And yes.....Remember the picture of meat and heat??? I still have taters in the ground and still picking tomatoes....

The geese that are flying overhead better watch out though....

21 days without a paycheck would be really rough. But otherwise, no problem. Might actually get that freezer cleaned out like dh has wanted.

Amended, I could do it just fine. Dh and the kids would want their milk and cream for coffee.

I work from home, so we would not be without a paycheck. However, we have just made a major move with only what could fit in our suitcases and have only just recently moved into our current house. So if we were quarantined today, food would be our issue as we have not had time to build up our stocks again.

splain lucy....my memory is laggin...was it all your livestock fornicating..:angel:

21 days isn't very difficult as it is right now. I would need about an hour to get ready for it though.

21 weeks gets a little harder but as long as the internet is still up I'm okay.

21 months with no internet? I would probably be all "Wilson! Wilson!" on you.

 

[unregistered41671]

I could do it standing on my head, IF I was about 8 yrs old again.

21 days or longer, no problem.

 

[elkhound]

ernie....yea but you and i dont count....our 72 hour kit is a jar of peanut butter...lol

 

[StayPuff]

'Bout 6 months for us, maybe more moneywise.

For food and water? Pretty much indefinitely.

 

[sustainabilly]

Sure. Food, meds, and board games we got. Books in every nook and cranny. Water: city first, well water second, plus stored back up emergency stocks. The socializing? I like myself just fine. Certainly enough to spend 21 days alone with me. I think my sons could manage it just fine too. Generally, when they're gone it's as quiet as a church on Monday morning here. That's what I prefer anyway. I buy tp in large quantities which usually last a couple months. Plus, it's autumn. Last resort tp is falling from the trees all over here, LOL

Now elk, don't get a statue. Just use that cardboard cut out of Amy Lee you have.

the wood is cut and stacked,
the moo is whacked and packed.

the bills are paid,
so to home my family stayed!

Heh.

I'm more thinking of the family. The things we buy are dairy products like milk, butter, and cheese. Can we live without those things? Yes, but life becomes less than comfortable.

Food is easy. We've probably got about eight to nine months of rice and beans on hand right now as it is, and plenty of things we produce right here to augment or replace that supply. When it comes to stockpiling, my belief system is probably a little too "social justice" for most of you. I don't really store anything more than enough to get us through the winter and I'm willing to give food away to anyone who comes to the door.

I was really worried about ebola initially, but I've made my peace with it now through prayer. Tomorrow is not promised and death is not the worst fate that can befall a man. God is in control of this, and sooner or later, dying is in the cards for ol' Ernie.

 

[jessimeredith]

$$, no problem...literally every bill we have CAN be paid online (most aren't as DH prefers mailing them in, lol).

Food we'd be good on, water fine as long as the city keeps it on (we think there is an old well but have to check ordinances on uncapping and blah, blah, blah) though we do have stored. Socialization...we don't ever see anyone on a regular basis except the nephew and his fiance so I believe we'll be alright. There would be a period of adjustment (i.e. straight jacket at some point for myself) if the net were to go but there are enough books around to entertain.

 

[Bubba1358]

I'd have to free-range my chickens, but yup. I work remotely, and we'd do dairy and eggs as daily staples (like, 3 meals a day). It would suck, but we could do it.

 

[wes917]

I had to do a little more than five months when I was laid off, still had my wife's income. If we both lost ours at the same time I'd have slightly more than 8 months to figure it out, could probably stretch an extra month or two.

 

[unregistered353870]

I could do 20 years here if I had to, assuming nothing really crazy happens. But I'm planning to move in the spring, so preparing for the move would be an issue. The in-between state of affairs might not be so secure.

 

[elkhound]

yep ernie death will come for us all....but i aint playin tag with speeding trains either...lol..


.didnt devil ask yeshua/jesus to fall/jump from a wall or roof top or cliff?....didnt he say dont be tempting the father?
