    Oh, yeah. I've been sucking up to Rick so I can bug out to his place and die eating tons of Twinkies.

    I am prepping for whatever happens.... As for 2012.... Kinda like the millenium scare? Or the big Quake that was supposed to level the new madrid fault back in 1990/91...... ? I personally think it's just another scare tactic.
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    Frankly, I'm more afraid of the people who are afraid of 2012.

    this has been discussed recently.

    am I preparing? yes
    am I preparing for a 2012 cataclysm? no

    12/21/2012 is simply the end of the Mayan calendar. Our roman calendar ends every year without cataclysm. 12/31/2009 isn't doomsday and neither will 12/21/2012 be.

    I'm always prepared. I just hope I make it to 2012. I need to get through 2010 first.

    Do not waste my time on that hype. In my opinion it is all about pathetic people grasping for straws (was that to strong? oh well ). Preparedness is a normal course of business.

    The only preparation for the end of the world I'm making is to practice sticking my head between my knees and kissing my a*se goodbye.

    For other eventualities I'm preparing.

    No I don't worry about 2012, this comes from a Society that predicts a lot of stuff that never happens, and then they disappeared... Hmmm how come they didn't see that coming.
    I am prepared for a lot of things and I am sure there are things I am not ready for, if the world is going to end then getting ready is a moot point cause we are all gonna die, otherwise it wouldn't be the end of the world.... lol... what a joke. The world ain't going anyplace except down the crapper.

    Sarge, the movie looks kinda cool but to me seems like another Day After Tomorrow, to me.

    Thanks

    I can't wait for the movie to come out and then go away.... I mean its 1 thing to read 2012 theories on forums... But having 47 different 2012 specials on tv everynight is really starting to drive me crazy...

    Jeepers, Nightshade, that's how the world is going to end. It's not the calendar year that will kill everyone. It's the specials and movies the Mayans were trying to warn us about.

    I don't think the world is going to end, but there may be a big change in things, hence, the end of the world as we know it. (I still say it will have something to do with the November 2012 elections.)

    I'm trying to be a little better prepared for the unexpected/hard times, but more in general terms....not because of a certain date.

    Could it be that you're trying to prepare us for a truce between you and Ken?
    That would certainly be TEOTWAWKI.
    Might as well take that cyanide tablet now.

    Now that's just plain "crazy" talk!

    Even people in tin-foil hat's, know that that ain't happening!

    on that new years eve you could use it as a great excuse to be with your lover like theres no tomorrow. it might be the only chance for a long time youll get to do that. who knows when the next end of the world as we know it will be expected. so take advantage of it.
