AMEN!!!! jlottmc and I were talking about this this weekend. He's a TX boy and I Carolina girl. He and I have stayed in the area in Atlantic Beach/Morehead City when there was a Cat 1 and 2 Hurricane down there. The news stations made the hurricane out to be MORE than what it actually was in NYC. Come on people, grow a set of cohonies as jlottmc would put it. Rednecks, southerners and people from the country and who live or have lived in the middle of now where know how to function without power for a few days. Give me a break...Bunch of Weinies....

Took a SAP/ABAP training course in Philly a few months back.
(don't ask me what SAP/ABAP is either)

Anyway, during class there was a mild earthquake and a little lightning, rain and wind gusts.
Big woop.

Everybody was freaking out.
For the quake we had to evacuate?
you've got to be kidding...

We stir our coffee with 5.0 quakes in California.
that's a mild aftershock, not a quake...


Wind, rain, lightning?
that's a regular summer afternoon in Tampa Florida...

It's funny what you can get used too - LOL!

At my last house we had a neighbor lady who was certifiable Nuts with a capital N. She had about 30 cats which followed her all over the neighborhood like the pied piper.

I put a roof on her house and garage, lots of roof. And though she never trusted anyone she got to trust me enough to feed those stupid cats once when she was out of town. The stench in that house made me want to get air tanks, it was awful.

But during my work on the roof etc I found 6 pallets of TP and I think 4 pallets of Paper towels in the garage. There were at least 300 more rolls of TP in the laundry room in the basement, can't remember why I had to go down there. Also about 60 bottles of laundry soap. She hung her clothes to dry, didn't want to use electricity for a dryer which was actually good since the whole house was a fire trap in the extreme.
She worked at a grocery store as I recall and I often would carry her sacks to the door, never go inside and quite often there were a couple more bundles of TP and a roll or two of paper towels. I feel perfectly normal thinking about her.
I'll never forget, she said one of the cats, (she had names for all of them) had leukemia and to feed him and not let the other cats eat off his dish. I asked her how to keep it from eating off the other cats dishes (remember there were at least 30 of them). Her answer was "Oh he woudn't do that"

Yeah right!

Hey! This stuff was on sale and it WILL get used. I bought it at the commissary for $3.49 to $3.99 plus 5% surcharge, saving up to $2.50 a 12-pack of double rolls. Regular price is $5.99 +5% there... sale price is usually $4.99 + 5%. The commissary had a great amount and it took a while to get rid of the pallets sitting in the way. I did my part and got a good deal.

Costco doesn't sell this and I usually don't get THAT good of a deal there.

If I had one of those steel shipping containers... 9'Hx40'Lx10'W... I could really stock up on essentials.

if there's any one thing that I can't find a true substitute for, it's TP.

If mrs surv would listen to me we would fill one of our spare bedrooms with shrink wrapped containers of dried beans, rice, flour, bottled water, coffee and TP.

Since sears and roebuck quit giving out the free wipes, there just ain't no good substitute for the rolls.
