What a cutie..........[big smile]

Really, we all need to take digital pictures of our families/selves and email them to somebody (brian, the imager@home?) to compile for us on a page somewhere.

You definately "get it" don't you. Every morning when I look at the faces of our three boys across the breakfast table, I also see my motivation to prepare.

Their lives are in my hands. It was too easy to buy the basics that we need to get through ANYTHING that y2k could throw at us. There is no ridicule that any polly can throw at me that makes me second guess my decision to protect and provide for our only real earthly treasure - our boys. I "get it".

Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Great Photo Prometheus -

I too, am accepting my responsibility as my children's parent to prep for what could be a wild ride. They are aware of my concerns and my increased confidence that our family is prepared and ready to address whatever the rollover yields.

Regardless the results of the rollover - (I hope no problems and prep for an 8) countless families will go through incredible stress with the spooky anticipation of Y2k. My attitude is simple, the preparations I have made (CONSIDERABLE) will mitigate stress today and as this entire situation unfolds.

I don't know what's going to happen but I DO KNOW that when one of my little boys says he is hungry or thirsty, my response will be "what are you in the mood for, we've got a great selection to choose from?"

Please don't listen to the various idiots on this forum and the talking heads in the media who would have you think it brilliant to answer to your precious child, "I'm sorry dear, this Y2k thing was only supposed to be like a snowstorm, to be quite honest, Mom and I are really hungry too."

Don't wait for the herd to start drifting either - a foot-race is fun, a foot-race with 235,000,000 people is not.

I've moved past GO and have collected my $200 - How bout you?

Guns, Grub & Gold,

I'm just trying to keep the troops' morale up, keeping that carrot out there for those who need a gentle nudge in the right direction, or a little more willpower to continue those preps.

-- Prometheus (fire@for.man), September 09, 1999.


This will likely get the deep six, but we draw our inspiration to survive where we may.

Talk about silicon valley. and lips of collagin. what an inspiration! another man-made goof.

-- mother teresa would look better (bathing@suit.com), September 09, 1999.

not to mention black roots.

-- I'm going Back (tomy@roots.com), September 09, 1999.

Yes,It's obviously Frankenstein's idea of what a woman should look like: so he brings forth his breast implants, and vials of collagin for those too-thin lips, and caps to go on every tooth. And then. That all-important bottle of peroxide. bwahaahaahaahaaahaaa

Well Prometheus Your babe looks a hell of a lot better than the other one. Not to mention 'cleaner'.

Hey King A Spain -

Check out the chick's photo. She looks like she been wrestling in deep raw sewage - or at least Wallowing in deep raw sewage - for quite some time. It must be that sunless tanning stuff.

-- too close (close to@call.com), September 09, 1999.


CORRECTION!

That is NOT a chick.

THAT is a BABE, learn the difference.

-- Nope (stillnot@tellin.who), September 10, 1999.


Actually she's Not a "babe"; she's a "ba(r)b(i)e". Actually she ain't a Barbie, she's just a chick.

I also want to add that it sounds like some of the viewers are jealous, care for a saucer of milk, girls?

BULLSEYE, Prometheus!

The world is a large and dangerous place. Protect yourself, and those whom it is your DUTY to protect, at all times.

Godspeed,

Ditto, Prometheus!

Mine is Lila, and she'll have her ("first") Leap-Year birthday 2/29/00, come doom or digital Nirvana!

I have 3 reasons to prepare: Michelle, age 9, Summer, age 5 1/2 and Ashlee, age 4. Every day, when I look into those sweet, innocent faces, I am more determined then ever to make sure they are never hungry. I continue to buy more food, kerosene and homeschool materials. I am afraid we may be in for a long rough ride. Don't forget to buy chemsticks for nightlights.
