Dear So and So

[limewave]

Dear Ladies that just moved here from Chicago,

I find it interesting that you gave everything up because you believe "The End is Near." I'm not one to judge. Afterall, I'm not God and I don't claim to know what his plans are. But to leave your jobs, your homes, your friends . . . to come here . . . well, I mean if "The End" is truly near, does it matter where you are when it happens?

Moving on . . .
I just want to warn you that "The End" might be a little nearer and closer than you think. The several tons of sand bags you've hired men to stack in all the rooms on the main floor (to hide you from the satelites) is several tons! Just what you've done so far is the equivalent of driving 3 of DH's big work trucks into your living room. Your safe room below is not that safe given it's quite likely the floor above you is going to collapse.

Stay safe,
Limewave
p.s. if Chicago does implode and it looks like "The End" is here, you may find us knocking on your well-stocked, satellite-proofed, safe-house.

[Catrin]

Wow! At least you know where you can go if they are right... Where are you anyway?

Uh, what? You have people that have moved to your town for the Rapture and they're using sandbags in their own homes to hide from satellites? I don't get it. Let's just say it is "the End." Then onto the next life we go or we become worm food. No sandbags necessary. Or maybe I just don't understand. What, exactly, are they hiding from?

[lph]

Sounds to me like they just want to feel safe. Without much consideration as to what the danger is, just a need to feel protected. Just amateur psychologist doodling here, but since safety is a strong and basic need, like eating, I guess it stands to reason that you can have all kinds of disorders connected to that too. Sounds pretty bizarre, though.

I'm not sure its the Rapture. I'm a little confused myself. From my understanding, they believe a giant earthquake is going to hit Chicago, separating it or completely destroying it . . . I'm not certain. And there may be aliens.

I just did some googling and found some weird stuff that seems to align information found in relation to "Elenin Comet."

It's giving me the heebie-jeebies so I'm going to pretend I didn't read anything about it.

Okie doke. How do you know these folks?

They hired one DH's employees to move the sand. This employee asked DH if he wanted to help, make some extra $$. Dh went over, took a look, and decided best not to have a part in it.

[Biciclista]

oh these people sound really sharp Limewave. Of course if it really IS the rapture, the "lucky" ones will not become worm food, they will float up to the sky and disappear!

sandbags in their houses? oh wow...

Wise decision!

[withm]

I think I could use some of those sandbags!

[Biciclista]

no kidding.

[limewave]

I think I could use some of those sandbags!

That would definitely be a better use! Stay safe!

Dear Mom:

You live on the water, and there is a category 3 hurricane headed straight for you. I realize this is "too much stress" and you're overwhelmed. But, in the name of all that is good, please think about packing your crap in your car and leaving. Your yard flooded with the last storm - badly. Your house might be next. At the very least - please consider preparing for the storm - it's really a good idea.

Are the windows lined with tinfoil? Or do they just wear the hats......

[Crankin]

Please, hurricane, do not knock down the trees in the pretty woods that surround my house.
I just realized that in the last hurricane, my house was not so near the trees.
At least I live on the top of a hill.
