Take Two Asparin
Thu May 08 2008


I surrender.

I give up.

I have Spring Fever, I cannot lie.

I have Spring Fever and I don't care.

I have Spring Fever and there is no cure.

I have Spring Fever and the only word I can think of right now that rhymes with cure is manure. Which somehow seems appropriate.

At Allimom's suggestion, I have gone out into the garden and poked Tums around my tomato plants to feed them some calcium to help ward off blossom end rot. I hope they like mint flavored ones, because that's what they got.

I'm almost ready to pick peas. I'm shocked at how fast they came on once they got started. Won't be long and I'll be pulling them out to make room for the pole beans that are growing in there somewhere.

So you will have to excuse me now, I have to get back to Ravelry where I am keeping track of the Post-Apocalyptic Commune thread. Seems that a lot of people have disaster preparedness on their minds.

I wonder why?

Do YOU have post-apocalyptic thoughts?

    I have ALWAYS had post-apocalyptic thoughts, particularly about nuclear war. However, since I've been an adult and I realize what a nuclear holocaust would actually mean, I hope and pray that one of the bombs explodes directly over my head. I have no desire to survive the initial bombings only to be forced to drink contaminated water and eat whatever I can find once my own reserves run out.

    Then there is the immediate destruction of all infrastructure-- no power, no news, no food or personal hygiene distribution, no... nothing.

    No thank you, please.

    I don't know about Post-Apocalyptic, but I have thoughts of self sufficiency with the fuel and food prices skyrocketing.

    I need to pick up TUMS and tom's on my next store run. Yippie!

    Post*apocalytic thoughts? I'm having trouble with preapocalyptic, or any thoughts at all. Can't keep one thought in front of the other.

    Post-Apocalyptic was kind of drilled into us during the 60's when my grandfather built a bomb shelter. It was very and could hold the entire family, inlaws, outlaws and kissin cousins included. Thing is, we had this very large shelter with an air vent, no toilet facilities and not one single thing stored there... no food, no water, nothing. But we did have a place to go. Fortunately we never had to use it for what it was intended for but it sure came in handy as a community tornado cellar. Stormy nights ended up being a big party at our grandparents house and even all the neighbors showed up to dive into the hidey hole.

    I agree with the others... I wouldn't want to be a survivor of something so horrific and I wouldn't want any of my loved ones to have to suffer through any of that either... I'd much rather be at the epicenter so we could all be in heaven instead. Hugs, Summer
