Y2K is like reading a mystery novel. You have to put all the clues to gather to figure it out. After a lot of research you have a good idea of what might happen. If it is about 1inch round, 12 inches long, red in color, and has a string hanging out one end of it throwing sparks. Well you know what it is with out seeing it. Y2K is like that put the peaces to gather and you have a pretty good idea what might happen. Or you could hang on to that red thing and see what will happen. What do you think?

I think 1 year of supplies mim.

I really like the way you think Mara! Stores will only last sooo long, and then what? How will you replace them? How will you fix it if it's broken? "Who ya gonna CALL" CALL MIKEYMAC!!! I'm the handy man, the sunshine man... and I even make rainbows!

Whoa Mikeymac! We've got a whole lotta basic things to take care of before we get to the fancy stuff like rainbows. Slow down and pace yourself.

wacko,

"If it is about 1inch round, 12 inches long, red in color, and has a string hanging out one end of it throwing sparks."

I tied a half dozen highway flares around the roll bar in my jeep, someone must have reported it to the police. I was dumping the garbage and noticed a San Mateo Cop checking it out. I went to talk to him but he jumped in his car and drove off. Couldn't figure why a cop was looking in my jeep til I went out there and noticed that it did look somewhat menacing.
