You can bet I'll be there.LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597941562529910169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-52783329285568284202009-03-16T00:52:00.000-05:002009-03-16T00:52:00.000-05:00Stocked up on guns, ammo, food, fuel months ago.

I will not bow, nor will I surrender.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps in a few months if the new defib/pacemaker works out, I may be in better shape, but let's face it. Guys like me will mostly only be useful in buying time for the really effective to get organized.

In fact I sent my wife the link so she could take print out some of the information.

The other 47 percent, I assume, are locked into Obama-worship and are in denial. (They're confident the Messiah will save them.) They're putting their trust in the current administration and are sitting on their hands, waiting for a bailout. They may be in for a nasty surprise. QUOTE<BR/><BR/>That nasty surprise will actually wake up many of the opium-seduced sheep and make them realize that the "crazy right wing" was right after all. Of course there will be many hardcore true-believers remaining, but I can predict that a vast majority of the deceived populace will find the truth when the first rainbands of the storm hits.<BR/><BR/>IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-29201445447275165212009-03-14T12:40:00.000-05:002009-03-14T12:40:00.000-05:00Excellent advice!

I've tried my best to pass them along to my son, and he's head-and-shoulders above his pals for things like knowing basic plumbing, electricity, and carpentry. His Mom taught him other essentials like cooking, sewing, and gardening. His years in Scouting taught him things about living outside. Even though we "city folk", I tend to think we're a whole lot better off than most.<BR/>And we've got about 4 months worth of non-perishables laid in, and expanding it as we can.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
