Wow, I have done most of those, so sad and true. I was really surprised that fritos caught on fire, but it works.

Klayton, We have several lamps and lanterns, most of them bought at yard sales.
The only drawback we've noticed is heat. If the power goes out when its hot they really bring up the temp in a room.
If you're gonna get a couple make sure one is a lantern. You can carry them around and they're weather proof.
Do an internet search for W.T. Kirkman lanterns, tons of info and good prices.Comment

Interesting. I was actually looking through the list to see other things that I might want to do or try.
I have several oil lamps. As for wal-mart having them, they did but not this year and no lamp oil either. I hope the dollar stores still carry it here. Heat from the lamps can be a drawback or a plus depending on the weather. The smell is another thing, even with lamp oil, if you aren't used to it(especially if you don't have the lamp oil and just have kerosene), it can give you a headache (it is possible that it is from sitting there staring at the flame so long, but I really think it is the smell). Be careful to have your wicks trimmed and not turned up too high.Comment

A couple more:
You consider a case of MRE's a perfectly acceptable Christmas gift.
You can't remember the last time you bought just ONE of anything.
You actually know the difference between Hard Red Winter Wheat and White wheat.
You have ever bought popcorn with no intention whatever of popping it.
You know what a P38 is and have one on every key chain.
You can recite from memory the calorie content of most canned veggies.Comment

If my daughter and ex ever saw this, I think they would split their gutz !
I mean ... they might NEVER stop laughing.
... Me? ... uh ... some of those were WAY too true to be funny.
Aladin makes the best lamps and, I forget the brand, but they make a clear lamp oil that does not stink nearly as much.Comment
