If something HUGE was to happen ..

[MaDuggar]

... how long could you survive with what you have in your house right now?

Do you have any tins/bottled water etc put away in case of a emergency?

Have been frealing myself out reading some wacky conspiray sites (all baging on about something huge happeneing in the next 2 weeks) - Im not be;lieveing it, but it has made me think that one day there could be an event and I probably would only last a week with my store cupboard!

Horse whips

Err WTF is a corpse rake?

I was wodering about the corpse rake!

I have a crowbar in the shed so we can have that to it very wieldable...

My Dad will have to come along because the man knows everything about everything its scary.

Also my Dad did survival training and knows how to ipe his bum with only one square of toilet roll!

That bit is TMI!

it was on the link down thread about why zombies actually couldn't take over. It is to .. er.. rake up the corpses.

Yes, my dh is strong too. We could put him to work.
Ds's are good at scavenging for food

I can ring church bells if necessary.

I like you Twit. You have obviously done your homework.

have actually thought of a potential downside.
What happens when we all get pmt together?

I don't get pmt, I am revoltingly cheerful.

i dont get pmt either. am on implant and dont get periods

They will have to let us be in charge whilst they are PMTing.

I don't get PMT either. At least I don't think I do. DH says I'm a witch. But hey, if we all get PMT together, at least our other halves will have someone non-shouty to talk to.

Oooh, I thought of a useful skill. I can sew!

I have one day a month where I'm mean.
I would be great at pillaging/killing zombies then.
None of that weepy shit though.
I can also play the piano and the recorder.
And have remembered the baseball bat.
We also live near a farm supplies shop so I could grab a tractor and trailer and load it up with horsey/chickeny/other animally stuff.
Ooh and there's a gun shop in town.
I won best den at primary school as well so could rustle up a few temporary shelters with sticks and moss etc if need be.

It's ok everyone, panic over. Twit can play the recorder. We are all saved.

badly

We've missed a trick.

There is a very well-known MNer who has her own island.

Surely she would want to share?

Oh Zenia.......!

Did you say island

and who is Zenia?

We have weapons. 2 big hitting sticks, several swords and a 3-section-staff. I don't know how to use any of them. Husband can though. He suggests that swords might not be the best option in case piercing the zombies leads to getting splattered with zombie-fluid.

I don't think I should bring my children, they are already feral.

I'm a bit rusty, but I might be able to genetically modify us one of the guinea pigs to make it into a lethal zombie-fighting machine.

Let's get this into proportion - we are due a 'flu pandemic at some point (or possibly some other virus of course) - last year's turned out to be mild but the next one might be a large scale killer. Mixing with others is going to be dangerous so it would be sensible to be prepared. They last about two months and vulnerable people are at greatest risk (it is not necessarily who you might think - the 1918 Pandemic was most dangerous for adults in their prime not the elderly or children). Those with immune deficiencies are always likely to be vulnerable - from HIV to Nephrotic Syndrome. Stick to the facts, be logical and get prepared but do not fret as that helps no-one. Good luck to all in the next one! (If you feed artificial babymilk do stock up the moment you get a whiff of something starting - it is sealed and keeps for ages)

er, don't we have a WARSHIP?

I vote we go to New Zealand, it'll be summer there soon won't it? We could keep growing stuff all year round then. (Though obviously using a strict crop rotation)

Further to my recorder playing, could that not also be used as a deterrent? Or should we see if anyone has a set of bagpipes?

Own island?! Is the queen on MN?

Ooh! Ooh! I have northumbrian smallpipes - they are a bit bagpipe like!

Just noticed "stick to the facts" in All4u's post and am now rolling on the floor in hysterics.

I can also add a nearly 17 month old who has been screaming more or less for 2 hours tonight. Surely that will scare the zombies away?

And I have a baseball bat. Did I mention that?

All4U Are you trying to say that we won't be needing swords, leaf blowers, posh horses or emergency lentils? That's ruined my November.
