Thats what I thought to myself today when i went to walmart to get some things. OMG you would not believe the things people were doing. Granted I know that there is a hurricane coming but come one people the most we are supposed to get here is some rain and winds. We may lose power but thats it. Some of these people are gonna feel really retarded when they have 900 cans of spaghetti o's in their cabinet and they didnt even need them. People were buying propane and batteries like they were free. I mean, most of these people live in the ghetto. They live in busted up trailors with 6 cars in the driveway and yard and NONE of them run yet they can come to walmart and spend 1000 plus on stuff? Yeah I dont get it. People were being rude, shoving people out of the way, blocking aisles so that people couldn't get down them because they wanted ALL of one item, it was just plain choas. When Rita came threw it knocked down some trees and power was off for like 2 days and these people are preparing for the end of the world! I just wanted some everyday things like bread but nope, bare shelves and then I saw one woman walk by with 2 carts full of bread. I was seriouslt tempted to ask her if she thought she really needed all that bread because well, its not the end of life as we know it and there was no need to buy over 100 loafs of bread for what could be 3 days tops with no power.
I did however stock up on water and got some top ramen. I have food that can be cooked here. My husband called me a retard cause he was like "You flippin retard, how do you expect to cook all that food with no power?" To that I responded, "Hey moron, Im the one that uses the stove and well, you dont need power to run a gas stove!" I told him the only thing we couldnt use was the oven but thats only because while though its gas, its set to an electric switch and timer but i told him that you dont need to back chicken you can fry it or there is a way to bake it even on the stove.
Im trying to get all my laundry done before all this starts tomorrow and clean a bit. im glad that I have all these candles and that i have all those battery operated tealights. Although, I dont know how long they will last since NO ONE has any 3v button batteries any where since OMG people think they need every type of battery even when they dont. That and my daughter thinks she needs them as a night light ALL night long so im sure there are about 5 of them hat dont work at all. Im not sure what im going to do to entertain her when there is no power. Only thing I can say is THANK HEAVENS FOR LAP TOPS AND POWER CONVERTERS!!! All we need to do is go charge it in the truck for a short time and YAY!! We can watch movies. Im not sure yet how Im gonna be able to handle the heat. I thought about getting one of those HUGE D style lookin batteries and getting the setup for a small generator but yeah they dont have those. I also loked for those battery operated fans and yeah no such luck. I am gonna roast in the heat. I already foresee being in L&D hooked to IV's because I cant drink water fast enough to keep hydrated. I guess once the winds die down there is alway the hose. I dont mind some dirt water to keep me cool lol.
Feedom comes at a price and some pay more than others. I proudly support my husband in his decisions to help protect our way of life even though it means long lonely nights of worry and heartbreak.
