A Conversation with a TEOTWAWKI Survivor
Survival Blog ^ | 12/13 | Rachel M.

No one said you were responsible for them, and no one said that all surviving traits were desirable. C’est la vie, you never can tell.

“Whineging”? Have mercy—apparently, English is a second language for him. (I assume it’s a him but, online, one never really knows.

I have just resolved to shut up. I'm not cheering up anyone at all. :(

Oops--I omitted the honor killings. Whee! And they're such a bunch of complainers.

OK, I'll try harder to shut up.

LOL Women were stronger then because they washed clothes by beating them on rocks by the creek. Just doing laundry was very physical.

lol The little red line told me I had misspelled “deficating”, as it just did, and I said the heck with it. Nope, I never use spell-check.
