I'm sorry to hear that, Toro...

Im fine, it's not something that recently happened.... it started when I was 8 so I am quite used to it by now. Thank you though.

I understand.

Luckily I am one who learns from others mistakes, sometimes better than from my own.

That is all you can do. You can't force family members to behave decently, unfortunately.

Yeah, although, am happy that I am distant from family if the other option is to be a mommas boy (or similar) like in the show "Everybody loves Raymond". I have heard stories from women about men unable to separate from their mothers. So bad to the point where the mother was choosing the color of their house, what car they drove.... etc.

Id hate to even imagine putting my future wife in that kind of prison.... so I like it better with dysfunction if the only other option is never separating at all.

Alas, we don't have basements here.

4) You have time to grab one book off the shelf (you already have a bible in the shelter): - Something with lots of pages, I just realized I do not have toilet paper in the shelter.

Good thinking.

Question..is this hypothetical or do all the ppl that answered this quiz have actual fallout shelters?

Cos now im a bit worried. I dont have anything. And none of my neighbours do either. Actually, I'd be surprised if anyone in my country had one.

I think if Sodom and Gomorrah happened again in my town, I would just run to the hills and not look back.

I do. The one at my home I built myself. I meant it when I said I was a survivalist/prepper. Although, I really don't like the word prepper. Reminds me too much of my teen years and "preppies".

My fallout shelter is the ole, duck and cover method.

Goodbook · Jul 26, 2015

Are they holes in the ground or what?
Homes here dont really have basements. All our housing is above ground.

Travelers.Soul · Jul 26, 2015

I have a basement but not a fallout shelter. I wouldn't think that most Americans have a fallout shelter per say but a lot of Americans do have a basement. I am not a survivalist, though I should get some stuff together in case of a tornado or natural disaster.

Haha, I live in Canada. No one that I know has such a thing.
Then again preparation for emergencies has never been my strong point. It was only a couple years ago, that I started to wear warm enough winter clothes. I'd end up always leaving the house unprepared. I am pretty sure I would not survive this hypothetical disaster.

Who needs a shelter with the wisdom of duck and cover?

Paranoid people...... how can a nuclear blast get past duck and cover?! Its fool proof.

William67 · Jul 26, 2015

Even FEMA suggests having a first aid kit and three days of food and water.

I guess since I only have 5 minutes I'd spend about 3 of it listening to and this song with video since I don't have a basement. I can at least have a visual of duck and cover since I never learned that in school... or actually one school I went to I might have actually learned it.. but I must not have paid much attention...
Oh, and maybe I'll make a cup of tea while I'm watching. (I have a cup now and I've heard that some kinds of herbal tea are very calming.)

Thats cause FEMA isn't hip to duck and cover. They wanna sell more bottled water and medical supplies..... they are owned by Dasani and Bandaid. DONT BELIEVE THEIR LIES!

1) You have time to make one call. Who is it to?

Probably my mother.

Saucy said:
2) You have time to grab one food and beverage from the fridge, what is it? (something that's in there right now)

My fridge is empty, but water is nice.

Saucy said:
3) You have time to set your DVR to record one show:

Downton Abbey.

Saucy said:
4) You have time to grab one book off the shelf (you already have a bible in the shelter):

The Lord of the Rings

Saucy said:
5) You have time to message one Facebook/CF friend, who is it:

The Jonathan to my David.

Saucy said:
6) You have time to grab your favorite piece of jewelry/heirloom:

My tungsten carbide baptismal crucifix [though I'm already wearing it].

Saucy said:
7) In case you don't make it, you have one chance to record a message to the world. What is it?

"The Dude abides."

Saucy said:
8) You only have time to grab one piece of clothing to wear for the next however long you're stuck in the shelter:

Parka. Never know . . . could get cold.

Saucy said:
9) You get to take one picture with you, what is it?

My baptismal photo with my family.

Saucy said:
10) You have two minutes left, how do you spend it?

Probably blasting "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and praying.

Travelers.Soul · Jul 26, 2015

I love Weird Al.

lol

Seriously, though. The wealthy are buying bunkers. They are stocking up on provisions. They are invested in tradable goods, gold, and silver. The value of the dollar is dropping. And people are losing more and more of their rights every day. The smart money is on being prepared.

I considered bringing milk down to the theoretical basement as well, for my chosen beverage.. but if I had to choose I'd probably choose orange juice (since that's what we have) or ordinary water. Seems like it wouldn't spoil as fast.

Oh wait.. I forgot I brewed a cup of tea.

Great answer. If I survive the disaster, I'm totally coming to your place. I definitely need to see what happens to Lord Grantham and Lady Mary, lol.
