Making a simple 72 hour kit
The following was taken from www.lds.org. Having a 72 hour kit has been on my mind for some time now. I'm sharing this information in the hope that it will inspire you all to make and keep one handy.
Your family can be prepared by storing basic emergency supplies in one convenient place. You can gather your own emergency items, such as:
An extra change of clothing
A sweater or coat, hat, and gloves
Your scriptures
Your journal
Toothpaste, a toothbrush, a hairbrush, soap, and a washcloth
A flashlight
A whistle
Emergency contact information
72 hours’ worth of food and water for each person and pet
Blankets and sheets (for warmth or carrying someone who is hurt)
Puzzles, games, and books

I love it
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen

To ignore or to be ignored
I sorta separated myself from the FHE group tonight. I could hear them having a good time inside carving pumpkins, but I stayed outside to carve my pumpkin. A couple people came by and talked to me for a minute; Katie my roommate stayed with me the whole time. Later when I went inside I was pretty much invisible. I made a few comments and was ignored. I guess what goes around comes around.
