I plan on being in the bunker all weekend, as usual. Or mom's basement. Call it what you will.

OMG!! Is it all ruined? I would tell the daughter to stop and put a few cases into the back seat. Imagine having the last beer and twinkies on planet earth?

Have that third martini instead of the usual two.

Go bag is not far from my side.

With enough tequila to drunk dial The One Who Got Away and tell him I've never forgotten him.
riverdrifter 5 months, 1 week ago
Damn.
Frankie8 5 months, 1 week ago
It does come in handy. I got mine on Amazon.com.

Where will you go? - T_O_B
No where, it will be like every other day, the go bag near my side. Just in case. The spousal unit calls it my man purse, but she is wrong.
I'm glad your wife likes my spurtle.

Apocalypto. . . Mel is psychotic. Am going to wait for a drunk dial call as I am the One Who Got Away. ( Wink). I still love you, though.

Friday is my wedding anniversary. Prime rib, here I come!
Saturday morning I'm going to wake up, run outside and yell loud enough for the neighbors to hear, "OH MY GOD! DOCTOR! YOU SAVED US! THANK YOU!"
rodentgirl16 5 months, 1 week ago
I am sooooo stealing The Doctor thing. My husband and kiddo would get a good laugh out of it!!!

It's a fact that for some people, it really will be their Last Day. Maybe we should live every day as though it is our last day, and act accordingly.

I would spend some additional time thinking about how seemingly intelligent people are duped into actually believing in such tripe.

I'll start my Christmas shopping, if the world doesn't end, on the 22nd. I am with T_O_B, I loathe the hype and the media play on this, etc. The boy came home from school and wants to have a party for the Mayan thing. I said no. Any foil hats available?
Frankie8 5 months, 1 week ago
Oh, come on, let him have his party. Kids need to have some down time to spend just being themselves and having fun. You could go to a movie while the party is going on.

I believe the original soccer game was with King Charles' head n 1669.

Looking at the latest weather forecast, many of us may still be shoveling by then.

Me and Elvis
Gonna take a ride
In a silvery ship
With little green men inside
Pick up Morrison
Break on through
Look back and laugh
At the likes of you
Bigfoot's coming
He's bringing the booze
We're gonna get smashed
What's there to loose
But if the Mayans are wrong
And all life is not over
We'll face Saturday morning
With a Doomsday hangover
