    Phoebe it's lovely to be in the company of a new prepper. Congrats in getting the realisation going and doing something about it. Stores give me calm and content feelings and essentially keep anxiety at bay.

    I'd be up for a new thread. I don't know why we're sticked. It makes us stick out like a sore thumb :rotfl: personally I like to merge boringly not drawing attention to myself. :D

    Precisement Mon ami!!!

    I really don't mind when people laugh, I can sometimes even understand why because some of what we do 'sounds' daft even if it isn't but what I really find obnoxious is when people are just downright rude about us, they are entitled to hold their own opinion of prepping and preppers but some of the comments over the years have been so unacceptably antisocial that if someone posted the same thing about one of 'their' posts they'd probably report it to the board guides. It polarises opinion does admitting to being a prepper which is why other than you lot no one anywhere knows I am and I'm keeping it that way!
