My home is in North Carolina, but I have also lived in Georgia, California, Colorado, Texas, and South Carolina; I am a fanatic for animals of almost all kinds. Right now we have 2 dogs and a cat. And there are lots of wildlife that come into our back yard. My main hobbies are crocheting and knitting, or any craft using yarns. I always have at least one, if not several, projects going. I also enjoy reading and watching movies. My favorite books are mysteries. I have many favorite genres of movies, but my favorites are disaster movies. I also enjoy mysteries, dramas, comedies as long as they aren't slapstick, and documentaries depending on the subject. Another thing I really like is trivia. I love playing trivia games, and watching trivia TV shows. I don't remember how I got into ThriftyFun but I've been hooked ever since. Even if I don't post something every day, I do check through the site every day. This is my favorite web site of all the ones I have. It's fun just to read what people have written. If I ever have a question about any subject though, more times than not, ThriftyFun is the first place I look to for answers. Very seldom have I not found several hints of what to do. The picture on my profile is my dog Princess laying on her favorite stuffed animal under a blanket that I crocheted for her and my other dog Buddy. I also crochet them and myself at least one new sweater every year.

Warning: Avoid Citrus Products with PenicillinThis is a tip that my daughter and I learned the hard way. Most doctors won't tell you that penicillin and citrus don't go together. The citrus (OJ or any other citrus) will negate all the benefits of penicillin.

Keep House Cool Without ACWhere I live the summer's get pretty hot and muggy, many times temps will be 90s and 100s, with humidity at or above 50 percent. And if I ran the A/C, my electric bill would be close to or above $400 a month, way more than I can afford!

Stock and Rotate Emergency SuppliesSince you never know when an emergency is going to happen, I stay stocked up and prepared year round. I have a specific cabinet set up with canned foods, cereals, powdered milk, water, pet foods and other necessities.

Prepare a Disaster Bin For EmergenciesI live in southeastern NC and although we don't get the full force of hurricanes like you do in FL, we do get the damaging winds, rains, and tornadoes spun off from the storms. So keeping disaster bins is important here too.
