Here it is about the middle of winter and I have my A/C on. I have the feeling this summer will be deadly.

Worst Tomato crop in 60 years. Wendy's Burgers has dropped tomatoes from their burgers unless you make a special request. Time to start making Salsa's with Mangos.

We have a line of storms moving through that don't look good at all. I'm sure the shift in climate is caused a little from all the earthquakes, maybe some from solar storms - 2012 getting closer :)

I think 2012 is just going to roll on by like the end of 1999 did.
Some people thought because of the computers clocks weren’t going to switch over, the world was going to come to a tragic end. There was no problem that I know of. Hopefully 2012 will be the same.

I don't find it being delusional or paranoid at all... I'm viewing a possible future from current events that are clearly happening. To ignore events such as what we have happening around us everyday to not have some sort of repercussions for the future is what I call "turning a blind eye".

IMO it is delusional & paranoid,I agree .

but either way,what good is worrying about things like that going to do ?
earthquakes,floods,drought,etc,etc are all natural events and there is NOTHING you can do to change them.
hell,I could be walking down the street and a tree could fall on me and smoosh me,but I'm not going to be paranoid and worry about it all the time.

Well pretty much the other way around... I'm no expert but I'm sure enough of them large enough could do some sort of chain reaction.

it's information in only the strictest sense-- data being transmitted. None of it is important or worth processing though.

Are you a religious man Sava? If so and you believe in God than you would know the whole 2012 thing is BS. The Bible specifically says Jesus will return when we least expect it. 2012 is an obvious date so it won't be when he comes. Now he could always come on Jan. 1, 2013 or even Dec. 31, 2011 I suppose, but it sure as heck isn't going to be Dec. 21, 2012 (I think that is the listed Mayan date).

The solar system is changing, all energy fluctuates. Every heavenly body in our solar system has been changing, although the lifestyle humanity lives doesnt help with what is happening to our current planet we reside on....we are not the main cause...listen to the cosmos.. the stars make music in you. The only thing that can bring each and every one of you a bright future where we no longer need money, cars, technology, etc is love.. unconditional, perpetual and never ending love...this goes beyond the love of friends, family, nature, it is to love all that is as oneself.

According to the Bible the return of Jesus has already came and went about two thousands years ago.
Amen, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Matthew 23:36

Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Mark 13:30-31

There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 16:28

Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come in power. Mark 9:1

Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God. Luke 9:27

When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. Matthew 10:23
So unless time is circular then we missed the second coming and we are the ones left behind.

about 3000+ rounds of 9mm, 300+ rounds of 12guage, 300+ rounds of various other shotgun shells and I think at least 20boxes each for my large rifles so far. All kinds of various other rounds for whatever guns .22 and up including muzzleloader ammo and pyrodex. Gun shows usually have it in bulk pretty cheap and much of it I purchased before Obama got into office which had the prices sky rocket.

No, there was some B.S. rumor going around, that if elected he was going to raise the price of ammo, so that made a mad rush to the store to the store before the price went up.

It may be a rumor, but I think something more is in play. I contacted one of the ammo manufacturers and their story is, they can't keep up with demand. Well that is almost believeable, but no one anywhere has any decent ammo. At least not around me.

wasn't a rumor... the prices went sky high!! I remember getting a box of 100 rounds 8shot for 12guage skeet shooting and it only cost me about $15 now its damn near $30!!! Prices of metal did most of the increases but the shortage was caused by him getting elected and everyone stocking up. He didnt exactly say much to prevent it that's for sure but he won the award for the best ammo salesman! lol

Watch area gun shows.. usually find anything you need there. Problem is unless your going to buy bulk your wasting money vs finding it some where else. Costs me about $6 to enter a show here which is after gas to get there and eating lunch so if I go I'm prob going to spend a few $100 and stock up good. I've prob got about 10,000 rounds of .22 ammo! :D
