I live in a very small, gated communiity and most in here are older retired people. In an emergency, such as an approaching hurricane, many are taken away by family members to be with them. I won’t have enough provisions to save the ones who would be left. I could give them medical care.
My sister-in-law and her husband came for a visit last week. They are liberal communists of the worst kind. I love them but that’s what they are and they admit it.
So, they told me this time that global warming is absolutely true and we did it to ourselves and where they live, food wouldn’t go after global warming did its thing.
I said a sentence that had the word “prepper” in it. The husband, who is a genuine genius, said, “What does that mean?” I said, “What?” He said, “that word ‘prepper’, what does that mean?”
I couldn’t believe it - the only word they knew was “survivalist” and that was a word, to them, for crazy people who had guns and hid out in the woods.
I said, “prepper” is the word for people like me who prepare for emergencies. They know I have “stuff” put away for hurricanes, but they have no idea what is really here. They have never asked, and I’ve never made a point to tell them.
They are important to me and I have enough food and supplies for them so they can come here if bad things happen.
I just thought it was totally amazing they didn’t know what the word “prepper” meant.
“go” should have been “grow”
