Has anyone here had Carpal Tunnel Surgery

I'm looking for advice on carpal tunnel surgery, I have had problems with my hands for years - mostly osteo - arthritis, a couple of months ago I had a cortisone shot in the base of my right thumb and it worked great. I have calcium deposits in the joint. But since the weather got nice I have been doing more work and have had my thumb and index finger on my left hand stay numb most of the time. Even when I'm typing it tingles like it is asleep. Other times both hands hurt, but mostly the…See More

A NEW LIFE INSURANCE POLICY - SELF-RELIANCE

Many people worry about life insurance policies to help secure their families in case of an accident or a loss of a loved one, but not many people think of a life insurance policy being something as simple as stocking up on staple goods, batteries, learning how to prepare food from scratch, grow a garden, build pedal powered machines in case your electricity is out or raise livestock.

A life insurance policy is a great thing to have, but if you do not have a way to get to a store during a disaster like Hurricane Katrina or even a potential war, money is not important. During Katrina, people could not even get gasoline to go to the store to buy what they needed and most stores were closed. It was a dangerous time to get out to find ice, food, or baby needs. Most people stayed at home and waited it out. If you have to do that, this site is a good place to start.

We hope this site will help women and men learn how to become self-reliant and get out from under the goverment. Becoming self-reliant is a way to have your own personal protest and will show the goverment that we can do it. Maybe if enough people learn to be self-reliant, it will send a loud and clear message to the government to leave us alone. What do You think?

Alabama's 1st Sales Tax Holiday on Emergency Preparedness Items

Posted by Selina, Self-Reliant Manager on May 16, 2012 at 8:13am 6 Comments 0 Likes

http://blog.al.com/bargain-mom/2012/05/alabamas_1st_sales_tax_holiday.html

Alabama is going to have their first Sales Tax Holiday July 6-8 for some counties. Not all counties have signed up for this yet, so if you live in Alabama, you may want to encourage them to do so. This would help a lot of us to stock up on higher priced items and if you need batteries, make sure you see if you…

My mother's day ended yesterday with a phone call from my 16 year old who totaled my car. She was taken to ER where she underwent multiple tests before it was deemed safe to release her to us. Fortunately no other car was involved, but my car is a total wreck. There was some minimal property damage where the accident occurred. Her father and I are extremely thankful after seeing the accident scene that she walked away from it alive. EMT and state trooper both said that it was my car, an old…

Make your Apartment or living space bigger

I saw this and thought it was a great idea for people with small spaces. It's a Hong Kong apartment that a man built because they have to live in such small spaces. Instead of you going from room to room, you move the room where you need it.

Check out Ventura's videos before they are taken off Youtube. The government has already had it taken off cable. There are 3 videos, just follow them 2/3, 3/3.

Are they profiling US and are we on a Watch List?

Glenn Beck's "Be Prepared: An Introduction to Food Storage"

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/48306/ Here is the site.

In the age of the 24 hour supermarket, food storage may seem like a crazy concept. But economic forces are converging in such a way that skyrocketing food prices no longer seem like a possibility, more and more they appear to be an impending certainty. While Glenn could be wrong about inflation, there’s no harm in being prepared.…

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!

Yesterday, I was thinking about the ingredients in processed foods and food in general. If the factory put ALL the ingredients from the time they grow it with all the chemicals, to putting in on the shelf, how many ingredients and chemicals would be added to the label? Thinking of that, would you eat it if you knew?

Eating organic is our best bet. I believe we would feel better, have…
