Just another seller of food packaged for long term storage folding up
now that the FUD is gone. Got caught with all that stock they gotta
get rid of.
Bidding remains at 0 for all the items. Yup, there's a real survival
food shortage, but it's not the food that's in short supply. It's
buyers. The 3 months kit goes for $70 and shipping is $70. Perhaps
if they lowered it a little and paid shipping costs, it would be a
good deal.
Anyway, some in the ng were telling us how they had eaten all their
Y2k supplies and how yummy it was for the tummy. I just thought I'd
show them where they can get some more nitrogen packed groceries.
Oh yeah, that's right, all the doomers were predicting that Y2k foods
would be selling on e-bay for 20 cents on the dollar by the middle of
2000. All this talk about how they predicted bad things is just polly
revisionism. Isn't it?
when you run a Scare'em or Ponzi or MLM scheme, the first rule is to get
out on the way up or before the market is saturated...and the way up
endpoint for Y2K was Clearly Demarcated....D,oh ;-O
the (one and only) Y2K/survivalist store herabouts was barely visible
before Rollover, only open 1-2 hrs per day a coupla days a week in a
moribund collapsing mall (rent almost free ?)...and then after the
Rollover,Poof...totally gone...;

Thanks for the info - winter's coming, and it's fire season now. My
canned goods are mostly gone, and I'm looking for a more diverse stock,
plus rotation.

Well, unless you are just going to talk about it, you need to make a
bid. Bidding remains at zero. Here is a hint. If you want to buy
it, you have to make a bid.
That is unless it's all talk.

Like I said then and like I'll say now, without an adequate threat
analysis you don't know what to prepare for. Take Y2k for example.
Big waste of time and money for a lot of people. I think it strained
a few relationships too.
Do a good threat analysis and prepare for likely events. Leave the
more esoteric TEOTWAWKI events to the nut cases with a
political/religious ax to grind.
See the archives for examples.
Happy bidding. I'll keep looking for your bid to show up.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen from you. Good preparedness is
flexible for multiple kinds of disaasters, not single threat longshots.

Likely major events in my area, gauged by over ten years actual
experience: earthquake, fire, floods. Minor events: friends homeless,
and personal unemployment.

And you're Y2k stand makes survivalists look like a bunch of nuts

Don't forget all that time that you pushed Y2k as being in that list.

Since there were "NO BIDS" on the stuff, I can safely assume that you
didn't bid. Which part of "0" don't you understand?
So, how many predicted that survival food would be selling for 20
cents on the dollar and no one would want it?

That could only improve them, Doc. Is this a bad thing?
The grammar of your first sentence is ambiguous. There are four plurals

journalists); which of these are the 'them' to whom you refer?

(Sigh!) I knew this was coming after I posted and thought about WHOM I

The reference to 'them' is to the last plural in the sentence... 'hack

Now *that* is an Arcturan secret that we will never reveal. It's all
part of the plot. We've found a 'hack' with a high tolerance to
Stilton!
You've found a Stilton-tolerant hack? Hmmmm... perhaps the next thing
you'll find is a taxi which is attractive in a masculine way; that way you
could boast of having discovered a very...
... han(d)som(e) cab.
DD
Ouch! Clearly we have some work to do on 'Pun filtering' your
brainwaves.
Do your best, Dupe of the Arcturans, and see how a *real* Earther deals

my tin-foil-and-egg-salad hat and buy Satan's own wig, there's bound to be

Perhaps you could get it done as a Matter of Urgency?

Actually, the example you gave might well be an example of bad
preparedness.
Good preparedness relies on these factors:
1) a reasonable estimation of potential disasters, both personal and
natural
2) a balanced selection of items to comprise ones supplies
3) a method/plan to rotate and refresh those supplies.
4) a willingness to admit that you've gone down the wrong road and revise
your plans.
Of course, "reasonable" is subjective, and based on an individual's life
experiences.
For example, once when I was involved with corporate earthquake
preparedness, we picked up two stretchers, but no water reserves.
Bzzzzt, an unbalanced supply, because we were thinking more along the
lines of first aid than "survival" in a building without water.
A well rounded disaster plan allows for food, water, sanitation, shelter,
cooking/heat, and first aid, as well as lesser comfort issues. For me, I
look primarily at an earthquake scenario, with its attendant disruptions
to power, water, sanitation, and shelter stability. If I lived on a flood
plain, I would stock sandbags, too. I also keep an eye to being able to
give "care packages" to friends whose month exceeds their money, so I
stock up on staples, and buy in bulk, or in long term storage containers
that I can just hand someone.
You see, DD, preparedness was never a Y2K only thing for me. Y2K just
gave me the push to rebuild my stocks, and round out my preparedness in
general. I could afford it, and it makes my day-to-day stress in the
volatile job market *much* less.
Now all I need is a place in the boonies for when I want to escape the rat
race.
Ravan
Primarily because I hate E-bay, secondarily because you were watching.
But just to make you happy, I'll look for stuff on E-bay and see if I can
bring myself to register with them.

Not even half-right, Mr Hamasaki... there are inexpensive Stiltons
available which can introduce the impecunious neophyte to the
possibilities which exist... and even the better ones (say, the Neal's
Yard Colston Bassett) can be found by convenent mail-order for a mere
twenty-odd dollars a pound.

No, no, no! De Devil's in 'de tails'!

Noble, indeed... take the example of br'ar patches and what you've
concluded therefrom... truly, teach *them* to mess with an Earther, it
will!

Eh? You 'do not understand why I think' something? But that's
*impossible*, all my thoughts are *obvious* and *clear*, no?
Now. about those br'ar patches...

There is, however, an active volcano pit in the vicinity of N 19.3
lat., W155.0 long. that may be used for small, baked egg-salad batches.
*Each* and *every* story is different... unless, of course, it is the
same.

Half-baked may be tried at your own risk. The temperature of molten
rock usually results in *very* well done.... nearly instantly. Have
the troops wear breathing apparatus. Those sulfur fumes are nearly as
deadly as Stilton fumes! (We gotta train some gleebs for this...
they're not much good for anything else, and who cares if they come
back 'baked'?)
Perhaps Mr. Hamasaki will teach you the hula-moves to appease the
Volcano goddess before your appointment with the caldera... but only if
you grovel.
Hmmmmm... that or the br'ar patch... choices, choices...

Pele only accepts whiskey and virgins. DD is neither. (Not that I have

Classic dilemma, no? Avoidance/avoidance.

Not to worry... there may have been some things you've forgotten along but

That's *right*, analysts! Are you getting this? Pay *close* attention,
it is a *very* important thought-process!

This is *too* easy... teach *them* to mess with an Earther!... slowly,

My first trip to the Winnipeg country,
My first trip to the Chippewa shore,
There I met one Rosie O'Grady,
Betterwise known as The Winnipeg Whore!
(everybody join!)
'Come right in, now don't I know ya?
'Let me set upon your knee!
'How'd ya like some fancy lovin'?
'Dollar-an-a-half is the usual fee!'
(Baritones down a third!)
She took me over to her bedside,
That's the place where she did sleep,
There were lice and fleas and bedbugs,
Wasn't clean... but it sure was cheap!
(louder, ladies!)
She was pushin' and I was shovin',
We both knew what 'twas all about,
'Till I missed my watch and wallet -
Christ A'mighty, I did shout!
(wind it up now!)
Then she called her pimps and bullies,
Must'a been a dozen or more!
You'da laughed for to cream your britches,
T'see my butt flyin' out that door!
Well now... that seems to take care of just about *everything*, as it
usually does.

Grab a Mop! There's analyst brains all over the ceiling!!

"Me, too!"
I grew up on Ice Skates in a Northern Town.
I still do rollerblades down the beachparks.
How nice! Why don't the two of you work together, then, and get a letter

Really, one might have thought you'd be used to it by now.

Thanks but no; the advertisements I've seen for that series do not
encourage me to do further research.

It is a competitive sport in Asia. As dancing is in the west, e.g. Ballroom
dancing, ice dancing etc. Sport may be the wrong word, bt it will have to do.
I like the clssification of all of these things as 4 dimenstional expression.
The 4th is, of course, time.

Hah! I had my gaseous Pun filter ready for that one!
I hate to 'raise a stink', but...
we could find some real Bull gas leftover from all those cattle
experiments. It's still oxygen-free, and the smell is so much more....
aromatic.... than the argon. We don't need to be odorless on this one!
The type that filters through sand... or the more precise one that boxes
in the molecules in gaseous clay?
