I had a 135 lb. bullmastiff that thought he was a lap dog. The worst he could do to you was bruise your legs with his vicious tail wagging. My grandparents raised Chihuahuas. Those little bastards were mean! They’d as soon bite you as look at you! The other grandparents raised pomerenians (sp?) and they would actually form a pack and keep other large dogs off the farm. I don’t like little dogs, I much prefer my bullmastiffs, but don’t underestimate the little guys.
ive always heard that, but at some point, does someone eat one of the hogs? Sorry for not being up on this sort of thing, but Im caught unawares.
At this very moment it is raining in Sparks, Nevada. If I needed water to drink, bathe or for the garden, I would certainly have an irrigation system connected to my roof rain gutter system because of its efficiency. I could have filled a small lake and a few swimming pools in the past hour, with just a little forethought.
LOL (at the context).
A rat is just a squirrel without the fluffy tail.
Fried rattle snake tastes like chicken, yum! Stewed armadillo isn’t bad either.
Well, let’s hope who ever came up with that little gem knows what they are talking about
Me too, I doubt that is the written word, but I've heard it alot, even from my mom.
The fact you take it so seriously is more disturbing...
but to continue the argument for fun, there’s tactics involved in every assault so the better man with the better tactics usually wins.
Wow... a simple sarcastic remarks sets a lot of folks off.
Of course not, but neither does the Bible promise us non-stop prosperity, freedom from persecution, or top-notch health! Just ask all the Christians around the world who are being persecuted at this moment.
Reality here is water is easy to find. Food if you have a gun you can hunt, you could always pillage and plunder but the comment was made as a sarcastic remark but it appears to have set a lot of those on the edge.. over the edge.
For those folks.. get a life and calm down.
For you radiohead, I appreciate the honest input and feedback.
I expect that you don’t carry any type of insurance then. That would certainly qualify as, “taking a thought for the morrow.”
...try Lehman’s...I’ve been happy in my dealings with them.

My wife and I just completed a 12,000 mile tour of the U.S. When in Texas I got a chart showing the average monthly rainfall in Kerrville, I think it was. Every month had about two inches of rain and there was four inches in May and four inches in October.
Unfortunately, where I am, just north of San Francisco, we have a wet season and a dry season. Other than the usual day of showers around July, it can regularly go months with very little measurable rain.
I did check some of the web sites suggested by others and find that a manual pump for my well is not out of the question. Our present submersible pump is at 180 feet. I don't know what the static water level is. A couple thousand dollars might do the job.
The force needed on the pump handle might be around 13 pounds and it can be plumbed to pressurize the existing tank. I don't recall how many strokes per gallon.
My daughter and her husband live on adjacent acreage. They are planning to build soon and I will have to encourage them to install an oversize propane tank and buy a propane powered generator for their well.
Same goes for manufacturer's suggested "amount to use."
Hehehe, a man after my own heart.
The doc might, but the health plan might not. Of course you could always claim you lost your brand new bottle or dropped it in the toilet and need a new one. That excuse should be good for a couple extras.
This outlook saddens me very much. It suggests that because you are armed, you would consider armed robery to get what yoiu were too negligent to store. People with that mind set won't last long in a true disaster.
“And when the fuel runs out nobody is going to want to commute 100 miles to loot even if they have the gas. The bikers can do it because they get great gas millage and are used to long rides.”
absolutely!...and Kartographer’s excellent post #141 should open any doubter’s eyes...we’re not talking about some meth mouth trash here....we’re talking about diciplined criminal bands with some military training...that is why I think that eventually all survivors will have to live in fortified villages for mutual defense....life will become medieval.
There's an old joke about a guy in a flood. The water is rising and a boat comes by but he says God will save him. The water rises more and he moves to the roof where shortly comes a helicopter. Again, he refuses to board and says God will save him. He drowns. In heaven, he asks God why He didn't save him and God says he sent a boat and a helicopter.
