our Texas time.

Technically, while I do live in Texas, I'm on unix time. It's 1356036383 or so, as far as I'm concerned.

Don't forget to buy ripe bananas! I just came from Aldis with a bunch. Pull up a piece of ground ... THE FAR SIDE           by Gary Larson, "You know, Sid, I really like bananas... I mean, I know that's not profound or nothin'... Heck! We ALL do... But for me, I think it goes much more beyond that."

Likely that I'll miss it, then. I'm generally still in the latrine around that time of day.

But if the end of the world has to happen then, that's ok. Beats 1400 naptime.

A lot of it feels like a redo of Y2K.
I was more afraid of the 11/5/2012 election than Maya crap.

I am wasting my time commenting on this charlatan who has enough food in the picture to last maybe two months. That food supply is basically one trip to Costco.

I actually have more food on my shelves right now than that guy in the picture and I don't consider myself a prepper at all. I just like to buy in bulk when it comes to long shelf items like canned foods, batteries, nuts, bottled water, and yes, even tin foil.

I have no illusions that this would save me in a TEOTWAWKI event. No amount of food and supplies would save you because eventually, other people will figure out what you have and they will be beating a path to your door. They will ask nicely at first but if you refuse them, they will eventually come back at night with torches. And for those "yahoos" who brag on their guns and ammo, sure, you might be able to hold out a little longer but eventually you are going to run out of bullets or fall asleep and an angry mob will eventually climb over the dead bodies and they will be ANGRY. The ending will not be pretty.

My opinion is that the true survivors of a TEOTWAKWI event will be those who have skills to barter. Those who know carpentry, dentistry, doctoring, engineering skills, etc., will become the elite of the emerging society. Others with no skills to offer, and that includes the idle rich, will just be seen as useless mouths to feed. They will have the most to fear.

Yeah, you were being a bit, how do I say, excitable about those whips and chains, good thing the thread went down the drain so fast...........

:-)

It was so bad, so *ahem* controversial my computer started aflame and we lost power at our home for the past two days. To say the least I was worried.

Okay, okay, it was a snowstorm......all north and west though Darks, no white stuff in Detroit. Somehow, it WAS your fault.........
