Are you prepared?

jim frei - 10 Sep 2005 02:12 GMT After witnessing many of my friends here in Raleigh NC be without electricity for 4 to 9 days after Hurricane Fran. I decided that I would put together enough rations to last for two weeks. But after Katrina, I realized that was not enough. Today I bought an additional 48 MREs (these suckers have 3000 calories, so one a day is plenty), four more 5-gallon water jugs, and 400 rounds of .45 ACP and 100 rounds of 12 ga ammo. I also have a 100-gallon propane tank for cooking (I was off the grid for 7 days after an ice storm in 2002). I will always have enough gasoline on hand to get at least 300 miles away if needed. Now, I figure I have enough to survive for at least 60 days if the guvmint does a repeat of NOLA.
If you live within 150 miles of any hurricane-prone coast, within a 100-yr flood plain, in a terrorist-targeted city, or near an active fault, I suggest you prepare yourself now.

I've been thusly prepared for some time, and have relatively little sympathy for the vast majority of said "victims".

Your full of sh.t fatboy. Your gonna try and tell me you got extra food hangin around your trailor? If you could leave food alone for more than an hour you wouldnt be such a fat f.cking slob.

It's nice to know that in the two or three times we e-mailed, I scared you -so bad- that you've spent -months- following me around making petulant adolescent attacks from anonymity.
Nice to know that the very sight of my name creates a fearful pavlovian response from you.
Careful, it's proven deadly in the past.
It's this kind of power, that I've held over many, many of your ilk long before you arrived, and will have long after you've been forgotten, that's kept me on Rec.scuba for going on a decade.
YLAM.

But Don, I've offered to meet you before.
What's your home address?
What's your phone number?
I mean, if it's so easy to kick my a.s, why won't you meet me?
The only one fooled here is you, Don.
The other regulars have seen this so often they hardly notice.
I don't want to be mean, but, your attempts have been sophomoric at best, and inane on average.
Why have -so- many others said the same thing -sooooo- many times,
That punk bitch from Seattle, Mr. Drop-n'-roll was the last.
What was his name?
Always from the dark.
Why do you hide?
Why are you afraid?
Why do you cower in the dark?
Chilly has bigger balls than you.
What dark fear fuels your passionate hatred for me?
YOUR LORD AND MASTER.
Dance, bitch, dance like the rest.
I own you.

Because you'll never identify yourself.
Your kind never does.
Once again you cower from my challenge, and respond with infantile playground hyperbole.
Your fear is a diffusive palpability.
You have my pity.

You'll spank him up like the sacless little boy he is.
Killfile the cocksucker so we dont have to hear anymore.
He isnt worth trying to type on that friggin keyboard you have, let alone re-issuing a challenge he'll never take.
Cheap shots from the cheap seats are the only shots he has.

You're a punk of the first order.
You really should seek professional help before you get yourself badly hurt.

Popeye, I congratulate you - you've been able to break Don's monomaina with Scott's sunset post. I thought that'd be darned near impossible.

I also suggest that you have plenty of non-electric lighting available (Candles, lanterns, etc.).
Is your first aid kit complete and supplied? Big enough? nothing outdated?
How about a wind up radio?
Sanitary needs?
Are your emergency supplies in rodent and insect proof containers? Galvanized metal trash cans make excellent ways to keep things safe.
I figure I am good for more than 30 days, with guests....
