Super Busy...
in these parts as I gear up for several things...the Soldier's eventual departure, winter (pretty bad in these parts they say), school for both screamers (oh my, where did my baby go?) and my own new busy, busy schedule of school, being mom and now an FRG leader (don't ask, it's a military family thing that will time suck me). Sigh.
But that doesn't mean that I'm not keeping an eye on the world around me, taking note of the signs and preparing my little heart out. Every payday is a day of cash withdrawl, dollars and Euro, to build on that stash because let's face it...there will be a day when the card won't work in the little machine. Then what?
Anyway, other than letting you know I'm alive and kicking (im Deutschland), I thought I'd share this one with you...nice article, to the point and upfront as far as MSM articles go...I particularly like the ending.

I just gotta say...
that I have a solution to the problem...and it isn't this:
"Obama will also request $500 million to hire more border patrol agents and buy more equipment, according to lawmakers and administration officials."
Why hire more? I ask. The solution is to use the security forces we have already (i.e. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, etc)....wait, wait...that's right, most of them are busy fighting wars on the other side of the world that were caused (in part) by lax security at home in the first place...aaahhh, circle of blame how you torment me!
But hey, since we can't do that then let's just run up more debt, print more paper money that has no backing and let everyone think we're on top of the problem so we can get re-elected. Then something (not saying what) will happen that will cause a huge public panic that will allow for us to declare ourselves "rulers for life" in order to restore order and maintain the illusion of security. Yes!! It's a plan! (bring in the coffee, donuts and arugala)
There is so much wrong with the US of A right now that I feel a saving grace is not going to save it. Need proof? Research the rise and fall of every other great "empire" and see how well they fared. You don't have to dig to deep...really, you don't. Just look around. How many of the following empires do you see as a major power these days? Romans, Grecian, Egyptian, Huns, Mayan...heck even the British Empire is a mere has-been. Enjoy the ride of the spiralling suck America, it's sure to be the last bit of fun you have for a long while.

The Final Word?
So I'm doing a little research, again...into dehydrating lean hamburger meat, again....
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! For crying out loud!! What's the final word? Safe, not safe, aliens will abduct me, what!?!
So far, what I've gotten is that it's perfectly safe...but not because of the possibility of spoilage depending on storage...don't do it at all...freeze it after and all is fine.
So I turn to you, dear readers....advice, suggestions, what have you...I welcome your input.
For what it's worth, the reasoning is this...I have no desire to try to make it to the Commissary with two (possibly three...don't ask) screamers in 10 below snowbound weather at any point this coming winter. And being that my kids and myself are serious carnivores...well, we like our chili, spaghetti and all that good stuff to contain meat.
