Welfare to work to unemployed

Two years ago I attained a full time position As a head start teacher. I was kept very busy and was unable to attend to my mediocre blog. Well, the company has transitioned. It's being broken in to three different companies. Currently my coworkers and I are unemployed because of this transition. I am receiving edd. I have no health insurance. My last day for health insurance was 7.31.12. This is a topic for a different thread. My countdown, or rather, count up has started. How many days uninsured, how many days unemployed, how many days on unemployment insurance? The questions remain.

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH.

Are you prepared for any type of disaster or emergency? Are you ready for an every day emergency? This month has been put aside by the U.S. government, as it does yearly, to encourage Americans to prepare for disasters.
And just how do we prepare for them, you ask? Take baby steps, as Jodie and Julie are known to say on their website www.foodstoragemadeeasy.net . They started off by learning as they went along. In fact many people learn as they go along on how to prepare for an emergency. These ladies took it a step further and made a website showing how they started two years ago and have dramatically improved from their anemic food pantry to one year food storage. You may also find them on facebook.

Earthquake year!

IN a news report I heard on the radio recently it stated that last year there were only 30 earthquakes the whole year. Now from January to now we have had over 70 earthquakes. Suddenly there is a multitude of quakes here in sunny southern California. If this isn't the hint to prepare for a major quake then I don't know what will get you ready.

After the quake in Haiti, and seeing the total devastation, my parents decided to go to Costco and buy a 3 person tent for themselves. They are 77 years 0ld! They are taking precautions for themselves. My younger sister already has a tent and is working on her food storage. She has the two 35 gallon water barrels I picked up for her cheaply as well. And while my sister's pantry may be anemic, my parents are overflowing. Since they live a few blocks from each other its a simbiosis.
