Based on our ages (72 and 65) and the PR's handicaps I don't envision being able to survive anything catastrophic. I'll leave it to the more deserving members of humanity.
I did not know you were so fucking old. I really thought I hated you only because you represent my most hated Monarchs. (politics can be a bitch, sometimes)
:throws jacket over puddle: :offers hand:
Yeah, not to put too fine a point on it all, you fall into the first group of those to die, along with my own self, in an emergency "life suddenly turns impossible" situation.
Sorry.
Mostly, those with any kind of disability, affliction, advanced age, those needing medication, or those who can not walk or run for a few miles in an hour, etc,
... SHTF and you are out of the game.
Basically, as you probably already have done, I would say get things in order, as I have, and make yourself prepared for an end game scenario in which you will be setting your young ones free to fend for themselves, lest we become burdens and such.
My goal is to teach my kids everything I know, as fast as they can learn it and help them be as self sufficient as they can ever be.
I am amazed that you are still here (meaning, on this site), trying to help others.
I applaud your efforts.
... but, before we both die, I have to ask: What the fuck is it with the queen shit!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
To me our United States Of America was toiled on three occasions to just gain freedom from those fucking horrid Brits, then after another eighty years we went to war with our own selves, brother against brother, to resolve one of the most fundamentally WRONG things left over from British rule that a full third of the country subscribed to, STILL.
Why the fuck would you give an inkling of an assfart to a fucking Brit? OK, I have Irish ancestors, if that helps to define my American hyper-patriotism.
I have no regard for those who built an empire by keeping slaves, white or black or orange or yellow or tatoo'ed for that matter ...
The mere fact that it took our Perfectly described Constitution over one hundred fifty years to evict British rule disgusts me and if it results from a from of or a basic lack of intestinal fortitude that we Americans have suffered these horrors of left over artifacts from British rule, then we all have some work to do.. The simple words were enough. Why the fuck did it take so long to remove Ancient British rule from our shores!!??!!???
... but back to my question; WTF is up with the fucking Queen thing?
... back to topic, though, Water?
I have this fear that most people take for granted that they can have all the water they want, but what if "all the water you want" is contaminated?
