<if you want to discuss the effects of y2k on the 'elderly', why don't you discipline your mouth, girlie, and listen to someone old enough to be your dad who IS doing something for his family, and falls into the 70 something age group?>
Obviously you didn't read my entire post ...
And before you attack me ... I spent over 2 years and over $14,000 of my own money - meeting with media - and trying to disseminate technical information to educate and get this problem (particularly embedded systems) fixed.
When I finally realized my efforts were futile, I moved from a cushy existence in Houston. I left behind good friends and a great lifestyle. I now have a home with one artesian well (not 3 like you do), septic system, full propane generator system, with appliances appropriately set-up, a years worth of food and personal items and 1-1/2 acres with fruit trees and garden. And where I'm most fortunate ... I'm a part of a community and neighborhood ... where we look out for each other. We share advice and experience.
[EDITED "ADD-IN": I hope things aren't gonna be this bad. But of anyone in my family, I'm best able to make the necessary sacrifices ... just in case. I'm the "safe haven". I encourage my family to do what they can. They're doing 2-3 weeks of preparation. I think it's inadequate. But, I don't berate nor attack nor alienate them - as frustrating as it is at times. So, I prepare more than others to safeguard those I love. I'd rather overprepare than underprepare. Never did it before. Am doing it now.]
<i'm an adult. can you be?>
ROFLMAO
I repeat from my previous post ....
Quit making this Y2K thing personal already. Quit berating and attacking. Stick to issues and facts and experiences and knowledge that can be shared.
