Old doomers I never understood what you were saying to me until just now.Just do a quick run down on these posts. Everything from Pakistan to Waco to Italy to Potassium Iodide to these "pollie attacks" to Decker.

Now I finally "get it"

Last week we completed the purchase of 156 acres of prime Kentucky "black patch" with over 1000 ft. river frontage.

Truely a blessing.

Let me say without ANDY, Jack Spratt(?), and Count Vronsky this would not have been possible. THANK YOU ALL.

It seems so much that is being argued here now is just rehash from days gone by. I'm not in the mood to have a "come to Jesus meeting" with every pollie who comes around so I'm ready to step aside.

I do apologize to the forum for any "over doing it" I may have done. I communicate much better face to face than I do in "cyberspace".

What is painful in my exit is the new people who don't have the benefit of the discusssions of days gone by (and not the time to look them up in the archives). I really feel for these people.

Also a note for those who continue to post. Be aware you are being watched. If you don't "know" it you should.

Thanks for helping me and my family.

Be cool and Be good Johnny

Johnny, I am aware that people here are being watched. I keep getting messages on my screen that says "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the vendor of the program." I get these several times a day on this forum. So what, I won't be around here much longer either, they'll need snow mobiles to find me, and so what....I'll invite them in for a bowl of oatmeal mixed with some brown sugar, we'll have a good ole time.

I'm not worried about being watched. I'm no threat to anybody who doesn't threaten me first, and bigtime.

Anyway, Johnny, I'm sure we'll see more posts like yours shortly. Be good. Be safe. See ya on the other side.

Being watched by who? Don't think the biggest concern is the gov pissed your spreading y2k gloom & doom... I've seen more than a few trolling for info on those with substantial preps, including cash, gold, etc... (look a few threads down, "what to do with $45,000?") seen a lot of these popping up lately, and naive users ready to brag about how smart they are pop out with their real e-mails, etc.,

Crook and looking for y2k targets?... TB2000 is a good place to start....

Watch your ass folks, there are some lurkers here looking for you to "drop the soap" cyber wise...

Johnny,

Good luck to you and yours. Don't be a stranger

Watch, watch, watch all you want. How boring! BTW, can you come in and help us turn this patient? Near death they get so heavy ... don't just oogle thru binoculars, make yourself useful!

"'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook then I find that empty space

There's a name without a picture, but I can't forget his face

Tell me where did he go. I want to know.

Where did he go?

It says 'picture unavailable' right here

More than sad, it makes me mad to know somebody knows

There's a lying in your silence. Tell me where did Johnny go?"

-- Randolph (dinosaur@williams-net.com), October 12, 1999.

Ashton & Leska, great come back, you guys are so down to earth, if I were dying I would want you two to be there. My final death plans are to walk into the woods and die amongst the wilds of nature, that is how I want to go.

What Big Dog said.

Thanks for everything, Johnny. Best wishes. SYOTOS.

-- Faith Weaver (suzsolutions@yahoo.com), October 12, 1999.

bardou, I would rethink that if you want a peaceful exit. You may find predators/scavengers ripping at you before you fully lose conciousness and say goodbye. Just a warm fuzzy thought to close the night on.

-- Mumsie (Shezdremn@aol.com), October 13, 1999.

Mumsie, since I am 1/4 Indian, I wish to do what my ancestors did. I don't mind being food for fodder, what difference does it make if I am buried 6 feet under and the worms eat me? I prefer to be above ground, and I prefer that it be snowing, but heh, I'll take the outdoors anyway I can get it when the times comes. Sometimes I wonder about those that are terminal, like what Ashton & Leska take care of, if that's the way they intended to die? I've had a couple experiences with loved ones, and I have it made up in my own mind how I want to depart from this world.

You will check in from time to time, won't you?

-- Old Git (anon@spamproblems.com), October 13, 1999.

Bardou, that would be a fine way and place to transition to the other side. There is wisdom in that. The fresh air, the arching blue sky, the sense of expansion. Some cultures put their loved ones on a platform in the trees for their last hours. Your wishes should be dignified, in any case. You just have to make them known ahead of time.

Now, getting somebody to honor them is more difficult. The logistics would have to be worked out in advance, while you're strong and healthy. Written down, signed, witnessed, notorized.

Why shouldn't your Spirit have this say, final expression triumph of will over matter?

-- Ashton & Leska in Cascadia (allaha@earthlink.net), October 13, 1999.

156 acres in Kentucky sounds grand. Back when I was first looking at re-locating from Washington, D.C., I considered Eastern KY, as I had spent my youthful summers staying with my grandparents in Harlan, KY. The people in rural KY are survivors, Y2K or no Y2K, and are just the type of folks you want to be around when things start going wrong with the way the world works. (Same can be said for NW Arkansas, where I did re-locate to.)

Best of luck!

What happens if you bite it in a car accident?

Best of luck, plenty of food, warmth and water to ya!

Undertaker, we weren't talking about car accidents, we were talking about being terminally ill. However, I don't have much say of what happen's to my body in an accident....

When i go.. if I can still lift a pistol, i'm gonna find one of my enemies and take him with me.

-- jeremiah (brapospdetroit@hotmail.com), October 13, 1999.

Take him with you!?! Who wants to be stuck traveling that road with your enemy? You must really love your enemies! A true Christian in disguise ;^)

(uh, Reno's definition of a Christian. yikes ;^)
