LindaE User ID: 76952466 United States 02/21/2020 03:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I also appreciate the humor in this thread. As far as I'm concerned, even after terrible events we will need humor to get us through...it'll be gallows humor, but a small smile or an outright laugh will help to temper the horror. BTW ladies, a lesson learned from our daughter who was in the Air Force. Seems almost everyone in her Basic training class (female) lost their periods for the duration of the course, and a lot of them still hadn't gotten them again 3 or 4 months later. Seems nature sometimes helps in a period of high stress and takes away one of our stressors. So you won't probably need as many tampons as you might think (although they're probably still a good idea for other uses...think staunching bullet wounds). Old bike tire innertubes cut into pieces makes a great firestarter, although smokey. Burns for a minute or two, and I carry in my Prius' trunk a baggie with Vaseline smeared cotton makeup removal pads. They make another good firestarter. |

Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith We need lots of shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, perfumes, lotions, tampons, nail sanders, summer hats, sunglasses... I’m getting anxious already... Definitely hats when sunscreen is gone. Long sleeves and gloves also. Umbrella works well to keep the sun off. For women skirts are easy when you have to use the bathroom outside. And towels, lots and lots of towels... oh, beach towels too! I think we should go full commando... I don’t think we’re gonna need panties, it would be a waste of soap to wash them. Oh, my gosh... we’re gonna need fucktons of baby wipes!!! Yup lol |

Whose bunker do you think they’ll leave you for when resources get tight? Small comforts will pay dividend, and for those who couldn’t score a woman during peace times, a girl friendly bunker could make you the Hugh Hefner of armageddon. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74483521 Haha! This is so true! lol. Even during good times a man who can take care of his woman is very sexy! I guess I'm old fashioned, but I appreciate all that a man can do that some of us women cannot. I think men are their hottest when they come in all dirty from mowing the lawn or working in the yard. I'm hoping this Armageddon will at least allow men to gain their respect back. The feminists have put you in a corner, afraid to be who you are. Afraid to say the wrong things. I see it everywhere and it makes me sad. |

88 (OP) User ID: 76930440 United States 02/21/2020 04:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Puzzles and games :) And clothes for next year ... Allow me to enlighten you. Hmm if it is survival time the only thing u get to take is a backpack. Not 10 suitcases. And be sure to have it as lightweight as possible. If you have to stay inside for quarantine make sure you have enough garbage bags and mask for when u have to come out u can protect yourself. A pressure suit would be the best. 0 chance of contamination. That way you can get the stuff you need. Create an airlock in your house with decontamination part as the virus can stick on your suit. UV al the stuff you bring in new. And if possible use other disinfectant method with isopropanol (dnnw how you call that in the US). And you should be able to ride this out. if chaos comes due to civil unrest be sure to get off your ass and to a low populated area. Great advice! UV.. can that be done through a big window? Or does it have to be outside in the sun? Can you buy a pressure suit online? Also, how do you airlock your house? |

Quoting: Suzie the Bleeder 76792698 A huge hoard of store bought tampons will only last so long because you are using them for so many other uses. We need to find out what kind of cloth material is the best to use, and then stock up. Lucrative item for the lean years to follow the culling. Forgot about that! I had a hysterectomy so thankfully won't have to deal with that but my poor daughter.. Bounty is the quicker picker upper ?? I used to use as pads when out of real pads. Worked great considering... ? |

Greatly appreciate this because I absolutely have already gotten 6 boxes of hair color, lol. Quoting: HoneyDee 1 new thing that I'm starting is trying to learn axe throwing . I am beginning this weekend and I know it will make me sore but I'm going to be set up out back and at least give it a whirl. Also, don't forget to buy antifungals! You can do any cheap brand as long as they kill off the itch. When working and sweating it's very easy to get a fungal type rash. Have a blessed day! Thanks HoneyDee! I have about 6 or so boxes of haircolor as well! Not to mention conditioner, toothpaste, mascara and all the things!! I actually even got a tube of Lotrimin (an anti-fungal cream), cortisone cream, Benadryl, vitamins, etc. I also got a 20-pack of N95 masks today (that's all my small town hardware store had), goggles, kitty litter and even had my small town pharmacist hook me up with an "early refill" of my family's prescriptions. He agreed that there may be a shortage of a lot of meds coming soon. |

I was thinking of recreating a mail service. Locally anyway. If and when SHTF I wouldn't trust the mail service through the gov, as they have proven to not honor the contents of the sender and recipient. But good call, as many prob didn't even think about it! I'll scroll through again later and add more. Break away from the make-up as it was a psy-op to prey on the insecurities of women. Quoting: Hellstar 420 God bless all women! Thank you Hellstar!! I think you creating a mail service is a great idea! It will certainly be needed, especially if we can't use our phones or computers. |

Skip hair color ...I went gray back in 2007 and then went back to dyeing it. What a mistake. I went gray again three years ago and it’s a long pixie style. Fun and easy...soft and in good condition. One thing I have to have is my under eye concealer. But hair color...meh, we all age and it’s okay. Just keep yourself in good shape. You can dye your hair until the cows come home and dyeing your hair isn’t fooling anyone if you aren’t in good shape. |
