more for the list to buy...

Link stolen from a friend:

The first 100 items to disappear

I have had trepidation bringing up to friends what my husband and I have been discussing. But I am hearing more and more murmurings that people -- or at least smart people -- realize things are changing. And once the door of conversation was opened with a particular group of friends, there's a lot more linking and discussing of ideas. The above link is from that discussion.

Let's see...

1. I don't want to bother with a generator. They take up room and require maintenance. They require gasoline which likely won't be available in enough quantity to make the generator useful. They are hugely popular in Florida after 3 hurricanes in 13 months, but we consciously decided not to get on that band wagon.

2 & 6. On my list to buy.

8. We own a lot of hand-operated tools. Again, see hurricanes of 2004 and 2005.

9-13. already purchased or on list.

17. We've already invested in a few. We are book buyers. They'll be useful some day if the Net is no longer available. ... No more Scrabulous? *sniff*

20. Holy crap, I hadn't thought about laundry. *add washtub to list*

22, 24, 27, 29 & 30. Things that I've been purchasing at great discounts at CVS.

33. On the list to buy.

35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42 & 43. Own plenty already.

40. We actually are talking about getting a dog for many reasons.

50. Buying a cast iron Dutch oven soon.

51-55, 59-60. Purchased.

64. We have bikes, and are considering an upgrade. Definitely investing in some tools and repair kits soon.

67. We own these out the wazoo already.

... OK, I could go on. We have lots of these items. Many are on our shopping list. And this list gave me ideas for more stuff.
