Re: Look at the size of my marrow

Re: Medicine use by dates...
While some meds will keep for ages under the right conditions, others, like aspirin will degrade into other things because they’re slightly unstable and will not be the meds you started with. At best they’ll be harmless/useless, at worst a pretty different thing altogether.Chuck out anything 6 month...

Re: Eternal youth....
Ageing is a complex mixture of both accumulation of damage over a lifetime and programmed cell behaviour. I think we’ve got a looong way to go before any kind of age reversing treatment for humans as most studies are done on nematode worms, mice and suchlike. Drink plenty of fluids, healthy diet and...

Good work, Jenny!
Thanks for the heads up Vitamin C my friend’s elderly parents are on those I’ll warn her to order early. Seem to have no problem getting my stash of thyroxine thank goodness.

Re: World rice shortages on way...
As climate change takes a good foothold, any country that becomes able to produce staple foods that were not able to before will battle with countries that are now less able to do so. Expect rice, wheat, tea and coffee to come from some pretty unusual places.

Re: What type of person becomes a prepper
We have to be self sufficient because we have almost no nearby family we can turn to. Plan for the future, save up as much as possible, plenty of tools, food and spare water.
