Aloha Everyone!

We all have been there, friends making fun of us, getting mad, talking behind our backs. All because we tried to warn them about something we take very seriously.

Well I just got back from my last warning session! Took the mountain bike and rode to their homes. Told them one last time that it is not over yet and that it is not looking good! Oil is the killer here folks!

Anyway I haven't said anything to these folks in months so I guess it came as a surprise for me to show up (on the bike, effect you know:)

Told them all > 100 lbs. of rice is cheap insurance? Thats it people, just because they don't get it, doesn't mean we stop loving them!

If you love your friends warn them one more time just because you do love them:)

aloha nui, Lokelo

Are you leaving us to or are you going to stay plugged in here?

Its sure getting lonely with everybody leaving. Don't understand this "leaving" tb2000 stuff myself. I mean what's to leave, you're at home posting and there is a very nice support community here, it would be a shame for us all to lose touch with each other. I would have thought just as d-day arrives it we would be even more reason to keep in touch.

Nothing major will happen, so please relax. We will all still be here next week.

Happy days!

Aloha Lokelo,

Bless you for trying, but the decision is theirs, and you no longer have to feel guilty about their outcome. I know just how you feel. You can't NOT do it. Regardless of the outcome, we just had to ask them to show some genuine concern for the potentials. We HAD to bring their state a awareness away from the spin, if only for a moment. If there is failure, it is now theirs.

Aloha

See you on the other side.

Good effort Lokelo! You have done everything you could. Now it is just a waiting game to see what really happens and when.

As long as it is technically possible, I plan on staying on this forum. Good folks here and a great source of information.

-- Lokelo,

Explain to us how any type of a Y2k failure is going to cause oil distribution to have a problem. If you can't give one example, then no wonder that your freinds are "...making fun of us, getting mad...".

You have no facts or data. Get a life

The time for talk is done and now it is the time for doing. I received 275 gallons of gasoline today, ten gallons of kerosene. The bins are full of grain, the hay loft is full of hay, and the pantry is full of canned food and dry food. I will stay on the puter as long as the phone and net stay up. I bugged out 20 years ago from the city and decided this is where I wanted to grow old. Some day I hope to grow old. Been too busy enjoying living to grow old. Still want to do some more prep, like buy a couple of rabbits and get some seed for giant pumpkins.

Doug,

Just because data was not produced in advance does not mean that something cannot happen.

No one had any facts or data that there would be refinery explosions earlier this year, but they still happened, and prices went up significantly because of them.

There was no data that said that a 7.4 earthquake would hit Turkey in August, but it still happened, and 12,000 people died.

There was no data saying that Venezuela would be hit by the worst flooding in a century, and 30,000 people died.

The oil industry will have a lot of data about which refinery equipment malfunctioned next week, but they don't have that data now because they have chosen to "fix on failure." A disaster waiting to happen.

Oh, Doug, clueless, clueless Doug. From what I can tell, you just discovered this forum no longer than a few weeks ago, right? Maybe a month, tops?

(sigh)

You like to antagonize, don't you? A touch of the Oppositional Disorder bothering you? I've seen you on too many threads giving too many knee-jerk responses.

Yeah and butterflies might fly out of my butt too! People who do not understand Y2K are being taken for a ride. See ya in a few days.

Doug,

Butterflies outta your ass? haha

All the bugs in Hampton Roads are dead from the chemtrails. Guess your butt is the sole source then.heh.

Aloha Folks!

No I'm not going yet, we'll see if the pc works , it didn't pass the y2k tests?

As for you my friend Doug, your right I don't have one fact to show you, I only read what people say who do have facts! All things I have ever learned from reading required me to make a decision as to whether I believe what I read or not:)

Lets start with DD Reed, first she is Indian and from my experience Indians don't BS, I am Indian and I don't either:)

Then there is our friend R.C.:) If R.C. is lying, he should run for president cause he's good, real good.

Now lets talk about Ed Yourdon, he knows what he knows, do you know what he knows?

And what about our joking buddy Cory Hamasaki?

Now Doug, I have decided to believe the words of these people, I am usually pretty good at seeing thru BS (another Indian trait:)

As for you my friend, you are afraid:) I accept the truth! I am your friend and if I can ever help you please let me know, but I don't want to fight with you:)

aloha nui, Lokelo in Hawaii
