Here's a decent attempt at winning a Darwin Award. I'm a firm believer and supporter of the Second Amendment, BUT STUPID PEOPLE SHOULD NOT OWN GUNS! Darwin Award Attempt

After several PM discussions and my cluttering up of other people's threads with my Gloom and Doom ramblings, I thought that I'd start a separate thread where I, and my fellow "Doomers", can discuss our apocalyptic visions and revelations without scaring or annoying the group as a whole. As most...

If you've been debating on whether or not to do some basic preps, here's an interesting article that presents some reasons why it may be a good idea.

A burglar broke into my home. He heard a soft voice said "Jesus is watching U". Thinking it was just his imagination he continued his search. Again "Jesus is watching U" He turned his flashlight around & saw a parrot in his cage. He asked the parrot if he was the one talking. The parrot said...

The USGS is reporting a 7.1 earthquake in the Aleutian Islands and issued a tsunami warning. They are also reporting a 4.7 quake in Utah, centered 12 miles SE of Kingston. Both of these were within the last hour. Edited the Subject Line

I know nothing about this except from for what the ad on Craigslist says, but over near Hardy (pop. +/- 600), somebody has 42 acres for sale for $54,600. This is the Ozarks, so it could be on two sides of a ravine, or it could be nice. I just thought that I'd pass it along if anyone was looking...

Things seem to be getting pretty tense very quickly in the Mideast. With tensions between the two countries already tense from several terror attacks launched from Egypt into Israel, Israel is sending two additional ships to the border area. Iran is sending its' 15th Fleet (whatever that is) to...

We have a small extra room that had been used for my Amateur Radio gear, but lately it has been sitting unused, except for collecting junk. So we decided to use it for an extended pantry so that we could unclutter our main pantry. We needed shelves, and not being anywhere close to a carpenter...

I love this video . You have to be logged into Facebook to view. :lau ETA: I located the original YouTube video (along with over 56 million other people). No Facebook required.

Walnuts Are Drugs, Says FDA We all know that a lot of natural foods have very healthy properties, but now you can't say that without being sued? If the FDA doesn't control it, you can't promote it. Next they'll be doing paramilitary raids on nut growers, like nuts were raw milk or something...

Here's some interesting info about a solar oven that "stores latent heat to allow cooking times for up to an amazing twenty five hours at temperatures above 450 degrees Fahrenheit". It's not available yet, but if it comes on the market at even a half way reasonable price, I can see me saving up...

Anonymous Call to New Animal Abuse Hotline Leads to Raid on Colorado Womans Rabbit Farm We're from the government, and we're here to help.

Power companies prepare as solar storms set to hit Earth Actually, I believe that this article is a bit late, as the most intense wave of solar winds has already arrived. It did weaken the magnetosphere a bit, and there could still be some problems from successive waves, but I believe the...

Why do you suppose it is that some people equate stocking up food and other needed supplies with being paranoid? Were our grandparents paranoid when they understood that sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you better be prepared when it does? Today I went to a local store that advertised...

We lost four hens today, one BO and three EE's. It's a shame, as one of the EE's was my wife's favorite. I am assuming it was due to the heat since they were otherwise healthy. The thermometer on our porch topped out at 108. We had both ends of the coop open, the windows open, and a 48 inch wide...

I came across this link to today's Dilbert over on SurvivalBlog. If you're a prepper, you should enjoy this. :lol:

Today I decided to surprise my wife and bake her a pound cake in the solar oven while she was away for the day. I broke out the recipe book, made sure that I had all of the ingredients, and the assembled everything methodically in the order that they would be needed (or so I thought). Next, I...

This year we had our first broodies, which was one of the reasons that we decided to get Buff Orpingtons. Being her first time, we were unsure if the broody would stick with the eggs long enough to hatch. We left two eggs each day for a total of six. My daughter marked the eggs with a different...

I came across this listing on Craigslist today. It's quite interesting and I bet that we may see more of this in the future. Medical Care by Bartering I have done some bartering with our veterinarian, but had never seen a MD offering to do so.
