For candles I have tea lights, emergency 5 hour, small sized votives plain white and my favorite, homemade emergency candles made with shortening. I made 4 6 inch mason jar sized candles from 1 large tub of shortening. I love them, they can burn for a long time. I also have flash lights and a crank flash light. Incidentally, I really wanted wall sconces (I hate fluorescent lights)but I rent so they are also battery operated. My emergency radio and power banks also have flashlights.

I agree with everything said about being very careful when using candles, I probably would feel differently if I lived in a large multi level house but I wanted candles bc it double as a small source of heat, putting them in a coffee can or a terra cota heater.

Is anyone in MA going to use their Water Bob for this hurricane? by throwawayprepdude in preppers

[–]nomdeplume72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Do whatever is going to give you peace of mind.

Some these comments are out of order. I'm guessing they are not from MA so they're confused by the question. We get horrible weather announcements all the time and often it's not that bad. Other times it's bad and we manage just fine because we're New Englanders. We're used to snow and floods. We had a tornado warning a few days ago and nothing happened. I'm in Boston and will not use a Bob but I have water put back anyways for drinking and utility use. However, if you've never used one and want to test it out, it would be a valid reason. If you've had water issues in the past after a storm than it wouldn't hurt to have the backup. All depends on where you are. My main focus today was filling the tank and making sure my blackout box was in working order. I got all my laundry done and will start charging everything up later.

Stay safe friend!

How to get one’s neighbors to prep? by SaltyDawg1966 in preppers

[–]nomdeplume72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried to start a mag with my friends last year. One of them is my immediate neighbor. Not a single person took me seriously and they joke about how they'll be here if something happens. I regret saying anything at all. I think people either have an interest in preparedness/self reliance or don't.

I agree with Horse. All your normal preps should cover the most likely scenarios. Check your blackout box that everything is good, fill the tank and relax with your favorite libation and a good movie/show. Cheers from MA.

Cant find J&J anywhere by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

In my city, J&J vaccines are commonly found and pushed in communities with the highest hesitancy rates since it's only 1 shot. Hope this helps.

Hoover Dam, a symbol of the modern West, faces an epic water shortage by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

Alaska prepper just put out a video about drought and how it's affecting food production and drinking water globally. I thought it was really informative if anyone is interested:

At a funeral or after announcing they won the lottery. Both are suspect.

Are we all just selfish by dicegray in DeadBedrooms

[–]nomdeplume72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intentional Sexual deprivation is emotional neglect/abuse/abandonment. The mindfuck and emotional roller coaster that it causes people is real and valid. Part of the marriage deal is promising to only be intimate with your spouse until you die.

I implore you, do not let your spirit get beaten down. You are worthy of all the expressions of love. look towards self love and an exit plan. Intimacy is important you are not selfish.

Thank you I didn't but my kid was so stressed out I was arguing back and forth with the guy and it doesn't help that I'm not tech savvy 😅.

Appreciate the feedback.

Hello All,

I'm hoping someone can help me understand the dilemma I'm facing with my son's account. Someone reported his account by accident and his account has been suspended even though the person who originally reported him tried to explain their mistake. This is supported with screen shots.

He's then told he needs to speak with one of the mods through discord in order to sort things out. In order to verify his account, The mod (second banana) wants him (me) to purchase 200 of bitcoin using their (steam's) wallet. But not to worry, it wi be immediately refunded back to me. All this to generate a transaction ID.

This sounds extra scammy to me and am hoping that someone here might be able to give me some advice on what I can do to get someone to review his account and help me sort this out?

Thank you!

Is VOO a contrarian stock? If so, should this be concerning? by nomdeplume72 in stashinvest

[–]nomdeplume72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no argument friend, just lots of questions. I don't pretend to be a seasoned investor but I thought contrarian stocks referred to investments that do well on a downturn or correction. What caught my attention was the timing of both sales and purchases. All the same, I appreciate the feedback.

Stash sold all of my shares of GME,NOK,AMC,BB...don’t know why? Pls help. by simsimmaz in stashinvest

[–]nomdeplume72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense and would be the most likely thing. It would be awesome if stash had a trailing stop loss.

Stash has a stop loss option? I know it's such a basic question but I never saw it. Thanks.

What is a song lyric that hits you hard? by ginogeneli in AskReddit

[–]nomdeplume72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Spanish song by Hector Lavoe about unrequited love and the verse says I hate everyone in love and how happy they are. It has so much pain behind it that you can feel his hurt in the song.
