To have a water supply? I also thought it was weird when Nebb said she'd eat something. I'm double fucked because I'd have no water, no food, and be hungry as hell.

Nebb

Lol I'd eat something because who knows how long I'd be gone or what I'd find, and I like to eat. I'd also want to assess my supplies so I knew what to grab while I was out.

[QUOTE]Speaking of the rapture, my grandparents and my mom are really into those Left Behind books.  When they started reading them, my grandma played a trick on my grandpa.  She took an entire outfit and laid it in a heap in the kitchen one afternoon and went and hid.  When my grandpa found it he flipped his shiit and started yelling "JOANN?  JOANN!!!" He is so quick to panic, it's hilarious.  The first time he saw the Northern Lights, he had gotten up in the middle of the night to pee while visiting us in ND and went outside because he didn't want to walk upstairs to the bathroom.  He saw the lights while he was taking a whizz and immediately thought "HOLY SHlT, JESUS IS COMING!" ...Anyway.  I promise not to derail this thread anymore.  The scenario which Nebb described legitly freaks me out.

<div>LOL, that makes complete sense.  I really am screwed. Here I am thinking why would you need tub water when there is Poland Springs!  ;)</div>

That's absolutely fantastically hilarious.  You have awesome grandparents.

Granted, I read that series because they were hysterical, which I'm certain wasn't the point of them.  But at least I got some sort of enjoyment out of them.

arwo

I'm still worried about people's pets! If everyone else was really, truly gone, I feel like maybe I would go around saving as many pets as possible. Just to give myself something to do, and because the idea of people's pets starving to death is making me want to cry.

Plus, I can loot the houses while I am there.

calixtine

I hope the apocalypse does not arrive during my lifetime.  I really have no survival skills and no band of survivors would take me on to keep me alive because I really have no other skills to offer.  Maybe I should at least learn to sew or to cook wild game.

anna.oskar

I'd fill the tub with water because if one essential service like electricity is gone, it stands to reason that a second like the water supply could be compromised as well.

I once lived in an area where water main breaks and flooding caused constant No-use orders on the water due to contamination.  We would always fill the bathtub if we heard there was any emergency/storm/etc because that way we would have water to flush the toilet or to boil and drink if need be.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Yeah, fuckit.  If something bad happens, I'm going to Anna's house.

See, in my head, I was thinking, "meh, I'll just go to the store and pick up some bottled water and supplies".  And this is why I would be instantly killed by roaming zombies.

I know and it's smart! At first, I thought, "weird. the world is ending and Nebb wants a snack." But I get it because, like I said, I wouldn't survive!

SereJane

I'd probably start crying first. I wouldn't last very long. And h is the apocalypse planner on our household.

Me too.

[Deleted User]

After I'm done crying that H is gone, I'd go on the hunt. Get the shotgun, my knives, and go out all Boondock Saint to search the street. We live around a bunch of rich people and if they are all gone, I've have no problem looting their houses for food and supplies. We live right by a grocery store so I'd go take what I could from there as well.

I'd assume that if I'm still there, then there must be other people too. I'd probably try to make my way to my mom's to see if anyone was there.

<div>Come on down!  Last i checked we're stocked with enough food for 4 months for 8 people.  A whole year worth if we ration and don't include the garden.</div><div>

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Luckily, I LOVE CINNAMON APPLES.

SereJane

Cinnamon apples? You can count me in too. Though how I'll get to the Dakotas in a zombie apocalypse is beyond me

adamar15

I'd load my gun and lament the fact that we haven't bought more guns yet.  Then I'd probably gather the dogs around me and have a panic attack.  We'd be screwed if the apocalypse came.  We don't have anything stockpiled.  Maybe a little firewood, but that's it.

LetsHikeToday

I actually just figured my plan. I'd run like hell to H's submarine. There would have to be alive people around the navy base.

[Deleted User]

I just remembered there is a gun shop and shooting range down the street from us. I'd head there before the grocery store, probably.

DodgersBride

I'd probably die to tell you the truth. I don't drive now but I would have to in an emergency but the only cars I'd have access to are manual so I am SOL. We don't have guns, the closest thing we have to weapons are kitchen knives and my fist. I'd also run out of meds in like 3 months tops.

I'd first take my meds and eat because with no food I am useless. Fill all tubs and sinks with water. Stock pile all food near those sources of water. I'd of course be worrying about FI but I'd need to prepare myself before I set off in search of him or any humans. I'd go to all other neighbors house and loot off their stuff and hope that someone has a gun or has prep for this.

monikaedwards

Grab gun, grab poodle, use telepathy to contact FI. 

Nebb

Ok let's say this happened, everyone is pretty much gone so production of everything stops. What would you miss? I think I'd miss cheese, dairy products like that, showers and seafood. Like, shellfish which we just don't have here naturally.

anna.oskar

I'd miss bananas, peanut butter, and butter desperately.  Unless i can find a cow and make butter.

edit:  I'd also miss cigarettes.  Because I'm pretty sure that an end of civilization event is a "Smoke em if ya got em" situation

LetsHikeToday

I'd miss a whole lot. I'm a girl who likes modern conveniences.

adamar15

I'd be finding a cow and making my own cheese ASAP.  I can't live without cheese.  I'd miss showers but I guess I could just go camp on the beach.  I'd be a little salty, but whatever.  I'd have awesome beach hair.

ETA: Or a goat.  I fucking love goat cheese.

celticmyss

Showers would be high on the list. Cheese too since it's my favorite food item. Bread after a while once what was available went stale.  Luckily booze doesn't really go bad so I'd be good in that area for a while. I'd stockpile olives since they also are good for a long time. 

Obviously I'd miss FH too if he didn't turn up.

How does one make peanut butter without a food processor? Do you have peanuts there. I live about 45 minutes from a peanut farm so I'd totally be raiding that lol

Nebb

I'd miss beer like whoa. I'd probably have to raid the beer store and then find a truck and drive out to a brewery and stock up until I can figure out how to make it lol, if at all. I dont even know how long bottled beer lasts.
