    Since Judgement Day is supposed to be August 29th, does that mean that in September we will discover a mutated version of Killer Bees that can actually kill the Murder Hornets along with everyone else?

    August 29th?  My calendar has all these worthless pages for the rest of the year.  I want my money back!

    Calendars?  You're worried about calendars?  I've got all these magazine subscriptions and my driving license doesn't run out for 5 more years.frown

    And who says August 29th anyway?  What's their believability?  I've been through several "end-of-everything" events already I'm getting kind of jaded.indecision

    And besides I haven't collected on my life insurance yet.  ... Wait... what?  you mean that's not how it works?surprise

    You didn't realise that the world has ended and we are now just a simulation on the aliens' computers? (A buggy simulation, as you may have noticed.)

    Oh, the source is a movie from decades ago.  Well then, I apologize.blush  Please excuse my disbelief.  I bow to their abilities.  There's no better source than commercial prognosticators.  For example the book "1984".  or the movies "2001", "2010", and "2012".surprise

    Of course there were other events too.  But you can understand my hesitance.  I did not drink the KoolAid, and I didn't believe in the comet.  But they were just cults gone amok.

    Well, yes I saw the first two when they first came out (1984 and 1991. Yep, several decades ago.) but couldn't find any interest in the rest.  Apocolypse movies were getting tiresome, even back then.sad

    I've had Vegemite on toast, I really like it, but some people don't. Kind of hard to explain what it tastes like though, it is rather salty, sort of like a bacon spread???

    I would describe the flavor as industrial. Like the by-product from some manufacturing process. That is also how I would describe the Cheeze in Amy's Mac & Cheeze.

    https://www.amys.com/our-foods/rice-mac-cheeze-gluten-free-dairy-free

    But the Cheeze and Vegemite have distinctly different flavors. Just neither of them seem quite like something meant for eating.

    Oh my word.  Cheese that is not cheese.  That is just NASTY!

    Give me Blue Cheese Tuna Salad with EXTRA Blue Cheese

    6.4 oz pack of chunk light tura
    1 & 1/2 cups shredded letiuce
    6 to 8 medium size grape tomatoes (the size of medium size grapes) cut in half lengthwise
    1 oz, of your favorite Blue Cheese crumbles
    1/2 or so of Litehouse Blue Cheese salad dressing ( a little more or a little less to your personal level of goopyness)
    6 to 12 dashes of Louisana Hot Sause (to taste).

    Sounds strange but tastes dang good.

    I eat it for dinner with a Drunk Pickle on the side.
     

    talk about NASTY! both this and the drunk cucumber are pretty nasty to my taste buds no

    Another sign of it must be the end of the world never would thought we would had a 5.1 earthquake. Rocked us out of bed at 8:08 this morning you can see it on my security camera the water in the pool was rocking wildly. Whoa!

    The epicenter was about 60 miles from us in Sparta NC  https://abc11.com/nc-earthquake-in-today-carolina/6362392/

    ...could only get 44 seconds in after the Advert before it hit a buffering stall, though what I did see from that living room camera looked pretty rough.

    Yea it was crazy..not something i would have expected for sure in Northeast Tennessee

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,257

    ...I remember one way back in the late 1960s that occurred in the lower Great Lakes area.  Felt a shaking and just thought it was another freight train rumbling by, then a bulletin came over the radio that we had experienced an earthquake. We all thought "?" as that was usually something we hears about in Alaska, California, or Japan   Of course shortly afterwards we learned that there was a major fault to the south near th confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the lower states occurred there in 1811.  Fortunately at the time the area was sparsely settle unlike today (St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee were at best, forts or trading posts then).

    It has actually been found to be a network of faults called the New Madrid Seismic Region that reaches from Central & Eastern Texas up through eastern Oklahoma,  Arkansas,  Missouri, Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana and western Ohio  Parts of it are becoming active again with an increase tremors recorded over the last couple years in various areas. Should another large event on the level of the 1811 quake were to occur there, it would be devastating as few of the cities in the region have built to withstand a major quake. Even newer buildings will be susceptible  as they are not built or have been retrofitted to the same seismic standards as in areas where quakes are a more common occurrence like the West Coast and Japan.

  • Just checking in top see how everyone is doing with the end of the world.  Looks like it may be time for another Hurricane if Delta developes.  BTW Ivy, any more earth movement issues in Tennessee?

    I tried to stay away from the internet but that was not fun!  Also getting rides anywhere is a pain because of the virus.  Hopefully I can go out Monday!
