RE: It wasn't meant to happen

in Weekend Experienceslast year

Hey mate, thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it. Sometimes people say things to intentionally hurt others even if they don't believe what they're saying themselves. It is what it is, I'm not really affected by it...I guess I was more shocked that the person would stoop so low, but that's humans for you huh?

Sort:  

People can be vile at times, best to just ignore them! I avoid hurtful people, so I don't have to punch them in the nose, LOL.

You would be a top shelf Dad! I have a niece and a couple of nephews who had a poor one, so they decided to 'adopt' me for a Dad instead. So I ended up with 3 extra children, and it wasn't even my fault, ROFLOL!

Don't let them wear you down.

👍😊🙏📖🙏💙💗🎯

Yeah, sometimes avoiding people is the way to go. If only we could mute them like we can on Hive. It's all good though, I saw that comment for what it is.

There are sadly a lot of small people in the World! Ironically, they will be at high risk when the SHTF, because no one will like them....

👍👌😳🎯🤕🤠

That's true, but then in a SHTF situation most people are woefully ill-prepared.

These people will never understand that the single most important resource is friends of the same mind! I'm going out to the homestead, to loan a generator to my neighbor out there. His power is down in the local storm mess, and is a week out for repairs! He already is guarding my property, and will be a huge help when things sour.

But this person is destroying that critical support structure, with their verbal diarrhea!

Terrible lack of intelligence or planning....

👎🤔🤬💩🤢😞

There's a great deal to be said for having less people around oneself but there's a caveat to that...Less of the wrong people around oneself is how it should read. There's plenty of the right people if one is careful to find and vet them. Lone wolf existence is difficult, there's many examples of this and having the right people around makes life a little easier, again, many examples of this.

That is the most important part, getting rid of the deadwood! I have family that are deadwood, who were planning to come to me for support. I've used the effective tactic of not telling them where the homestead is located. I will have a mailing address in town too...should work fine!

Sadly the deadwood will be fully dependent on those in power to survive. In a SHTF situation, no one can continue to support deadwood; and survive themselves!

So dump the negative Nancy's, and everything will be fine!

👍🤔🤕😳😑👌

I got this yesterday from my niece:

By the way happy Father's Day! You've been more useful in my life than the sperm donor, so I'm telling you happy Father's Day instead of him.

She's pretty direct....

👍👌🙏📖🙏🐾🐶🐾🤠🎯💗

That's a nice message to get, it must make you proud.

She lives on the same lake, that way I can keep an eye on her when things go south. She has five beautiful kids, and is raising them well! I'm proud of her, she's done well.

Trying to help them prep, without being obvious. With five kids, they're pretty strapped for cash. But they're living in the country, and I'm not yet, so in some ways they are ahead of me.

🤔👍💗🤠👌

A lot of prepping can be done on the cheap as you know. Things can be repurposed, bought second hand and often picked up for nothing I guess.

My favorite way to prep! I bought the kids second hand bicycles, then got one for Momma, so she could keep up.

I need a well (so do they, but they don't understand that yet), so I bought the drill and casings etc; for both homesteads. The deal is he drills both, and I supply the goodies. Then we both have the needed hole in the ground!

There are ways, LOL.

🤠🤔😁💙👍💗😆

I'd like to see a show that represents how easy it is to prep without spending a lot of money. The prepper shows all depict us as nutjobs with spider holes and chocolate bars jammed into internal door cavities of the house...In reality it's not like that. Giving people some idea around how to increase their level of preparedness without breaking the bank could make a huge difference.

That's what I've been doing. If you are careful you can get twice the prepping for the same money, leaving you better prepared!

I find if I see a deal on prepping supplies, I grab it. If I get a lot, I barter some of it off for other supplies.

And You can never have too many seeds!

👍😁🤠💙🎯

Something you might like....

Cool.

Pure sci-fi for sure! Thought you'd enjoy this, I did...but now I want one, LOL.

👍😆💙🤠🎯👌😁

I could have used one of these a time or two...Went to every gun shop looking for one yesterday, no luck. 😎😭

Somehow I doubt if these are out for sale yet, ROFLOL....

👍😁🤠💙🎯
