Be Prepared, You’re Fodder

If you got here by way of That Other Blog taking aim at me for my family’s preparedness, I’m going to venture a guess that you’re NOT prepared. Otherwise, you’d have put her in her place through the comments and never had a second thought about my motives or status.

For those of you unprepared, take a few minutes to poke through this site for some ideas. I’m sure you’ll only pick a few convenient things to do which also works in my favor. In the beginning, I believe there will be significant “fodder” resulting in large zombie populations, but I’ll need more people to survive longer to ensure an adequate, ongoing “fodder” supply while the initial people affected are eliminated. In other words, when they come after my family (because no level of preparation will be sufficient to completely eliminate the need to “get away quickly”), I’m going to need reassurance that there’s someone I can outrun.  It’s that old adage that I don’t need to be able to outrun my predator, just the other people around me.

Welcome to the Zombie Preparedness Initiative!

Kristen Wiig Reads the Poems of Suzanne Somers – Yes, the same Suzane Somers that brought us the ThighMaster. I had no idea she also wrote poetry. If what she wrote is indeed considered poetry. Wow. Just watch and savor this one. Astounding.

Mostly Grocery – a collection of short, (mostly) humorous stories told by a grocery store worker.

Autocomplete Me – In case you needed reassurance that the rest of the world is MUCH more messed up than you are. People need to remember that they are using Google – not a therapist subject to Dr/Patient confidentiality laws.

What’s Worse Than Waterboarding?

A head-cold. And I have one. It involves extreme sinus congestion, a runny nose, copious amounts of snot, and unexpected periodic sneezing fits. Unfortunately, one of my sneezing fits earlier today rendered me (temporarily) deaf in my left ear.

I am now painfully aware of what it must be like to be a 90 year old woman. I can’t hear anyone talking to me, I’m constantly shouting “WHAT? I DIDN’T HEAR YOU!”, followed by me turning my head to the left and shouting “TALK INTO MY GOOD EAR!”

Have I mentioned yet how I feel about old people? Can I tell you how annoyed I am with this stupid cold?!

Duct Tape and WD-40

There’s an old joke that says all you need to fix anything is duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn’t, use the duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should, use the WD-40. Now there’s a site dedicated to the folks among us who live by this philosophy. God help us!

There, I fixed It.

Many thanks to V for sharing this delight!
