Nellie, don't start going maple on us.

We don't own a gun and won't.
I was raised out in East BFE, so stocking up is something I was raised doing but DH is a neatness freak and considers it hoarding. He says we can go to the store every day, and if things go to hell in handbasket food will be the least of our worries. We're close enough to Oak Ridge that I can see his point. At the same time, a mid-level catastrophe would call for my level of prep.

We went through 2 weeks of almost no food purchases at all, recently. He only stopped and got corn chips because he lives on the darn things at times. I'd like to be able to do that for a month, and with critter feed as well.

The gloom and doom folks get me down though. I need to quit reading and looking at it all. I know for a fact that if OR doesn't mushroom, I (and my critters) can survive a lot longer than most city folks.

But if we knew the crap was gonna hit the fan next week would we all be slaving away at our jobs right now? Or at home basking in the glow of civilization burning down around us as we share family moments?

I guess that's what bugs me most of all. I read these gloom and doom things and I just wanna go home and play with my cats and my birds and hug my DH & DD....

Maybe your doc needs to understand that rage fever cannot be cured with antibiotics?

We gots, go hug your family and drink some hot chocolate.

I finally have enough room to stock up now. And fortunately, Tom doesn't mind. We don't have to travel far to the store, just 11 miles, but who WANTS to go everyday...

I'd rather make a big day of it, then spend all my spare time playing with my kids and critters.

BUMmer. (get it??)

Before I can go home I have to get DD from school, where she's staying after to whack imaginary zombies with her GURP's crew.
Then I will hug her as she whines about being touched. And then she will hug me while I'm cooking or some other inconvenient time, because she's a teenager.

Dinner is spaghetti and meat sauce with 'seedy' bread on the side and neon green Kool-aid to drink (lemon-lime, my new fave).
I may sip Amaretto afterwards, instead of hot cocoa. And not turn on the TV. Ironically, my Conan the Barbarian book is less stressful than the real world.

Dacs, are the illustrated Tolkien books claimed yet? Those were the only ones on the kid list that I didn't have or that appealed....

dacs, are you a closet Big Bang Theory fan?

Or did you just happen to find that?



BTW, my cats run like all heck when they hear anyone start to sing that song. Maybe because we hug them and love them and kith their widdle ears while we croon?
