What are you doing to prepare for Dec. 21 2012? (water, gas, buy)

[AZgarden]

Personally, I am not doing a thing. If the world ends, so be it. I am a retired female, unable to dig an underground shelter, wear a gas mask, or buy excess cans of food and water. Some people are getting wealthy selling "stuff" you can buy to protect yourself from the coming end. I have had a great life and if its going to end next year, I will say " Farewell to Earth" and just accept it.

It's one thing to expect the collapse of our society as we know it. I do not expect such a collapse, but I recognize the legitimate difference of opinion involved and I recognize that I cannot prove it will not happen any more than the majority here can prove it will happen.

However, it is another thing entirely to believe in the Mayan hocus-pocus and attach a date to a supposed collapse. First, how would the Mayans know the future? Second, the Mayan calendar is cyclical, like years are cyclical; one cycle (or period of time) ends, and another begins. 2012 is simply as far as they carried their calendar.

This Mayan business is not a legitimate difference of opinion. It is totally absurd to believe in fairly tales. End of story.

I worry not a bit.........

Ecclesiastes 1:9
New International Version (NIV)

9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

Sleep well tonight,mates!

I don't pay any attention to Mayan calendars or Nostradoofous or any of that stuff. I do worry about nuclear war and devalued currency though.

Well it will be over for approx. 250,000 to 300,000. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_people_die_a_day

I'm going to open a nice bottle of wine, and laugh my a$$ off at all of the people who are freaking out... just like I did for Y2K.

Saving money for all the 'used but never opened' stuff that'll be for sale shortly after...

No man will know the date of the End of Days.

A lot of people will no doubt win the Darwin Award that day.

Same thing I've done to prepare for Dec. 21, 2011 or any other specific day... not a whole lot. Maybe buy a new calendar for 2013?
