Hey I just wanted to let everyone know that one of the cats in my family (her name is Fresca, like the soda) has been having some health problems lately. She's getting checked out at the vet tomorrow. I'd appreciate it if you would all pray for and think of her. Thanks. On a happier note,

Nice to know your real name. I've sort of stopped following football too, but that began before the second videotape got released. I'm not going to get into all the reasons for why I have walked away from the game right now though. Hopefully you'll still check in the OT forum once in a while. That's what I've been doing the last few months even though I've stopped caring about football, because these boards are pretty good.

Well I haven't been on in a while and I just saw the new thread. Good job everyone.

Today I saw part of an episode of Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic. The subject of the episode was a family living in Arizona. They built a secret bunker in the backyard connected to the house by a secret door in the master bedroom. There is a hidden exit out of the bunker that is disguised to look like a trash can. Then part of the wall surrounding the property was taken down and replaced by a false wall that can actually be driven through if the family needs to make a last-minute escape by car. The bunker is sealed tight to prevent any water or animals from getting in. That has to cost at least $5,000. I understand wanting to be prepared in case of a catastrophic event but I'm not going to spend all that money to do it. One of the "preppers" said that secrecy is very important, but I have poked a few holes in that claim. 1) They just broadcast their operation on television for the world to see. 2) With the hired workers and large machinery it would be hard for anybody going by not to notice that something was going on. Overall it was pretty interesting to watch.

There are more.

Why am I suddenly the only one posting in this thread?

I'm going to get the cat/sock thing going again.
