I am so glad the time is nigh. Let's get it on. I am sick of hearing about it and thinking about it. Whatever happens, it will be a reality and we will no longer be speculating and arguing. For me, this has not been a good year. Yes, there were real issues of health and money but the main downer has been this nagging y2k thing and the parallel universes it has engendered. There is the prep universe and there is the busy, everyday universe of jobs, family, church, pro football, house maintenance, etc, etc, etc. After Dec 31, these universes will converge to one reality. It may be a bad reality but at least we can all be in it together.

There is similar sentiment in my household. My poly friends and relatives, including my wife for the last year are sick and tired of my endless roll-over warnings. Finely my wife recently broke down and said she wished the dam thing was today, so it could be dealt-with. I guess we are a people that are used to rolling up the sleeves and putting out the little fires DAILY. Not trying to put-out a major blaze at somtime in the future. But I fear some time next year in putting out the daily blazses I will look back at this year and wish I was still comtemplating next year...---...

I agree wholeheartedly, Lars. Just get it over with. I know I forgot things in my preps, but it's sort of like walking around, knowing you left something back at the house but you can't figure out what it was or why you needed it. I just noticed I forgot to get extra razors. What a stupid thing, considering I did my non-perishable preps back in '98. I'll be so glad to start going through my overstuffed pantry, too.

Major case of Y2K fatigue here, as well. Tired. Jeannie, I realized a while back we were running very low on razors as well, and I decided, oh well, if things are really bad the extra hair on my husband's face and my legs and pits might keep us a tad warmer in the winter!!!! LOL!!!!

Ahem. Off to stock up on razors (that wasn't a pretty visual I was getting.)
