AGREED!!!!!
i wont get on my tree hugging soap box (or i will rant like a lunatic lol), but am glad some1 at least mentioned it.
Every1 needs to realize this world is our home, it needs taken care of, not continuously destroyed :D and until all people realize it, we are nothing more than a plague on this planet :D

ok, my mini rant is over... sorry if i offended anyone... ill go sit in the corner now :D
Couldn't agree more !!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Sad but true.

In the Bible it says no one knows the hour or the day. Whenever I am worrying or anxious I just ask God to take it away and he always does. He never fails me. AND I don't watch shows that make me that upset. It's not worth me loosing a precious minute to worry. We are all so fortunate and have so much to be thankful for all we have to do is open our eyes and look around. My great-grandmother used to say "when you're worried, get a cup of tea, sit a spell and count your blessings. Then get up and get back to work." I try to live by that motto.

I feel the same about it as I did Y2K....there is NOTHING we can do about it! If God in HIS wisdom has decided the earth is to end no amount of "prepping" will change that or save us. I think its just a way for some to hype up the hysteria related to it. And I agree about the oil....but at the same time unless we are willing to completely change our lives and our dependence on oil we need to have our own sources for it. I for one would be willing to change....I already drive as little as possible, run the ac as little as I can, and do my best to conserve energy.

If the world comes to an end none of us will be here or anywhere, no one will be left to worry over something that may or maynot happen.

Live for today, tell your loved ones everyday that you love them.

Someone please tell me i'M not alone in this delima, and let me know how you are dealing with this. thanks.
Sweetie, please stop worrying about this. The Good Lord doesn't want us to worry. Turn this concern over to him and ask him to carry it for you. You have been given a gift.... A present..... Today. Enjoy it and don't waste it on things you cannot do 1 thing about. Don't ruin your present on worrying over something that may never happen. Why, you may not be here on earth by that date anyway. None of us know when our time will be up on earth, so don't waste your time worrying! You have too many constructive and positive things to do instead. And you will be happier to boot.

In my 40's I had to learn this, so I do try to really stress this to others. Enjoy today with all you have got! Don't waste it on useless stuff such as worrying over things you have no control over. If you think about it, the world is diff. today from how we knew it in the 50's & 60's. Certainly from the 1800's. So of course the world is changing & will continue to change. Regardless of whose calender we speak about. Please please do not let this upset you or get you so worked up. Think of all the quilts you can make between now & then.

HUGE HUGS

Think about all the profits that were made from Y2K!! What a bunch of nonsense that turned out to be!!! :roll:
True, just like Global Warming and scaring all those little kids into thinking the world was going to end.
It's all about money, this planet has been here for eons, it's not going anywhere. We are just along for the ride.
