I'LL MISS THESE ITEMS ........ dumb but semi cute...

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

It has been on my mind for a while that there will be a few things I'll not-really miss if Y2K hits hard. Things like reading; " SORRY YOUR NOT A WINNER " or " LOOK UNDER CAP FOR PRIZE " or " PLEASE PLAY AGAIN " ....

Anyone else think of any others ? ? ? ?

I did forget this one : " NO INTEREST TILL THE YEAR 2000 " or " NO PAYMENTS TILL JULY OF 2000 " ... is this something we are being made aware of for the next few years to come ? ? ?

If the USPS is toast with Y2K non compliant UNISYS computers, then will you miss all of the junk mail?

I won't miss fat people. Got a "smaller" future wardrobe?

I ordered six lip gloss online. I have enough for the rest of my life or I can give them as exquisite gifts next Christmas. I'm miss so many consumer goods, designed for the old middle class it isn't funny. I'll miss eating out at restaurants, going to movies...

zog, Don't write "President for life" Billy-Boy off so easily

I will miss my daily Mocha at Caribou Coffee. I won't miss telemarketers!

-- Gia (laureltree7@hotmail.com), November 13, 1999.

I will miss the sound of relief.. the flush of the toilet. It just won't be the same without that sound.

Mara,

Rotflmao- I too have succumb to vanity, 1yr supply/ "blonde in a box"

Mud Wrestling, don't know how I'll survive without it. bhwahahahaha

Books!! (If rioting/looting break out I'm heading for the library - just kidding?)

Hey Furie -

I'll not miss trying to out guess the impact, planning the get/not get list, worrying about what I've forgotten, or what I've planned for too little.

I'll not miss trying to convince people I care for to take prudent precautions

I'll not miss the sleep I've been missing. I'll not miss preparing refusal speeches, making contingency plans for gradual social decay, or testing my moral convictions within various scenarios.

I'll not miss the spin, the lies, the spurious. The names, the looks, the quiet ridicule, that goes with being part of the FRINGE.

Mostly Furie, I'll not miss wondering if I'm PREPARED!!

Best wishes for you and yours, my friend

End well

Respectfully Michael

PEPSI! CHOCOLATE! THE LIBRARY.

-- I told you so (comatose@tired.com), November 13, 1999.

I for one, will not miss any TV ad for (insert local names here) the ambulance-chasing, personal injury lawfirms which blight the nations airwaves. "Have you been involved in an auto accident? We can sue for you to get you MONEY."

Hell, why not be honest in their ads: "Has your car been hit? Then you've hit the lottery!"

Those and the seemingly endless blather of "Psycic Hotline" ads during late-night TV (or get ready for work time for some of us).

I'll miss not being able to pull out my "Cthulhu for President -- why settle for the lesser evil?" bumper sticker that I usually tape onto the car window in presidential election years.

I think the "Politicians -- the Other White Meat" slogan has a lot of promise, though...

If TSHTF: I won't miss my one hour one way commute. I won't miss junk mail. I won't miss TV (don't watch much anyway). I won't miss swerving to avoid people driving and talking on cell phones. I won't miss the exreme commercialism of Christmas. I won't miss my life's current breakneck pace. (Not that things will be EASY if TSHTF.)

I'll miss the people on this forum, since most of you will probably be dead.
