Ya' got that right.

is there code in this post, or are you hiding ammo in food cans?

scavengers looking for food, will get ammo? how is that any better?

Is that a way to preserve ammo? Keep it dry?

Antacids and Glocosamine/Chondroitin tablets "two-for-ones," 4-pack of soft toothbrushes and two Lost Filling repair kits on sale, and Crystal Body Deodorant Stick (all natural and lasts up to a year of daily use they say).

The first is simply NOT true of rice and beans. The latter is true and is true for rice and beans too, only less so than rice alone. Beans do NOT introduce enough protein into the diet, nor fats. You will sicken, starving to death slowly while you eat...

It is just as well that you don't have anything as the illegals would likely just take it away from you.

Lost filling repair kit? I've been wondering about something for fillings. I'll check that out. I've got a filling on my back tooth.

I have some clove oil myrrh oil that I use on toothaches. Clove attenuates the pain and myrrh kills the infection. I used this combo last summer on a tooth that the filling had come out of and I didn't have the money to get it fixed. It got infected and I used the oils for two weeks before I finally got to the dentist and had a root canal. It worked so well I probably would have been OK doing nothing as far as the pain/infection was concerned but would have eventually lost the tooth, not to mention the huge gaping hole in my tooth that would get packed with food when I ate.
