Episode 38 – Preparing to Sell Your Home, Even If You’re NOT Selling
Apr 23, 2011 Uncategorized
Seems like an odd thing to say. Yet the things we should do to prepare our home to sell are the things that we should do even if we NEVER plan on selling. Why? Because you deserve to have a home that is clean, organized and in good repair just as much as someone who is looking to buy your home. I’d say even more so!
I also look at an option to going the traditional real estate agent route for selling your home. It’s based solely on personal experience and you might find it interesting. Check the link below for a FREE BOOK on selling your home yourself.

Episode 36 – Life’s Most Stressful Events – Passing of a Family Member and Major Injury or Illness
Apr 5, 2011 Family Preparedness
This episode covers 2 more of life’s most stressful events. Is anyone ever really prepared for these things to happen? Probably not, but even some degree of preparation can help you dramatically. Sometimes even just thinking about these things and recognizing that they do happen, can be some comfort.
I hope you get something out of this podcast – it was a hard one to do. Just thinking and talking about the subject matter was very stressful for me. It may be distressing to listen to, and to think about these possible disasters. Nonetheless, we have to face the topic, if we are going to be prepared at all for it.
My sincere prayers and wishes are that you never have to go through any of this. Yet I also want you to be prepared if you have to go through it.

Episode 30 – G20 and G8 and Dealing with Explosive Events
Jul 1, 2010 Family Preparedness
It’s really insanity that the dignitaries would set up an explosive event in a major centre. It’s also insanity that the protesters would take the bait. Here’s a few of my thoughts and a few ideas to help you avoid, or deal with, such a situation if you have to be near it.
Of course I’ve got some political and philosophical thoughts about this whole G20 and G8 thing, yet I don’t really go into it in this podcast. As time goes on, you’ll find me addressing these sorts of events and news items more regularly. Hope you enjoy, let’s talk in the forum!

Episode 3 – About Food
Sep 18, 2009 Preparedness and Mazlow
Due to fighting with yesterday’s podcast and getting it up on the blog, I didn’t have the time to do show notes for today’s notes. Nonetheless, I think it’s a pretty decent show – considering it’s just one big brainstorm. Well, there’s is the fact that the audio quality is bad. I tried to use Audacity to make it better, but this is as good as it gets. Must be something wrong with the headset.
Today I’m talking about the importance of:
- food in general
- macronutrients
- balance in nutrition
- food production and
- food storage
- dehydrate2store videos
It’s a lot of general terms, since each of these can be an episode in itself. Listen in for my special RANT on picky kids and parents that don’t buckle down and deal with that. It may save your child’s life.
