Am I a Looney Survival Lady? Probably......

I recently received this e-mail:

"My husband sent this to me because he's always making me buy potted meat at the darn dollar general and everywhere else. He's a paranoid survival guy. Either way, you can pretty much bet i'm gonna be a gonner because i refuse to eat SPAM, Potted Meat, (With or without crackers) and Vienna sausages.

But to those of you like my husband and my mother who are waiting on the storm of the century, zombies to walk, and gas bombs to drop, please see below at this guy's recommendations after he went through Katrina."

Now the rest of the e-mail tells this guys survival story and the mistakes he made along the way with Katrina. He also lets you know that he made some pretty smart moves. I was impressed. This guy instantly became my hero because HE KNOWS! He went thru the Katrina hell and he did better than most and he was nice enough to pass on this information.
Yes, I want to be ready. How do we know the government is not making some weird shit for germ warfare? Nothing is fail safe, we are humans, so who knows maybe Stephen Kings' "The Stand" or "The Day of The Dead" won't happen? Hmmmm? I mean there are so many under ground labs and missile bases that we aren't privy to that we could be sitting on top of a time bomb and never know it.

Then there are the predictions of Nostradamus. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in God. But God has slapped some pretty awful shit on people in the past AND even the bible predicts an Armageddon and the four horsemen.

My husband thinks I'm slightly off base with the whole "government and what if terrorists (not just the ones outside, we got some pretty scary people living in the good 'ol US of A) DO what they are threatening" thing.
His favorite saying "Honey, they have people that make sure of those issues".
Me, I promptly throw the economy in his face along with gas prices and other government follies. I have no shame.
My favorite saying "Anytime you want something Fu%$ed up ask the government to handle it".

Living where we do hurricanes are another issue. I'm prepared, but according to that guys story about Katrina I need to kick it up a notch or two. Which I'm going to do. No doubt.

Make fun if you want, label me another loony tune that puts aluminum foil over windows (no I don't do that) an never read me again, but when the zombies walk, the storm of the century hits you betcha me and SIL are gonna be totally prepared and hunkered down.
Guaran-damn-tee when things get bad husband and daughter gonna love that SPAM and cracker sandwich!

I swear, you and husband.......

I'll have you know since that email we've been chattin' back and fourth all day and yes, indeed, he has plans to kick it up a notch.

Problem is that i see no one breakin' out the shovel you will need to dig that hole once gas is dropped. Unless of course you'll have us wearing masks you got offline/through some crazy guy on ebay??

I forget to kick it up a notch until the storm's banging on my back door/ the flames are licking at the siding/ the zombie's eating my cat. I figure I'm pretty well screwed- I have to work in the crap anyway.
