  • It's an exclamation of happiness.... as in, OMG, I scored Bruce Springsteen tickets.  Yippee skippee!!!!  :-D

    I can't even lift a 50 lb. sack of something.

  • I'm with you Cheryl... me lift 150 pounds.... OMG that is really funny... 

  • ok.. what's a yippee skippee? Cheryl?

  • I have some food ready in bins. I did buy propane tanks, but It is hard to carry all that stuff. I just hope our family can drive away from cities before things gets to intense. I have my garden going again this year. I see if I can harvest some more food before we have to bug out.

  • Yep.  One thing I learned, though.  You can know all the martial arts in the world, but if someone has a gun on you, the odds are in his favor (unless of course, you are at the level of Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris). 

  • Self defense techniques are good to know.  Worked for me to learn them when I was a kid as it protected me from bullies in middle school.

  • Yep. And that reminded me of something I learned back in my Kenpo Karate days... it only takes 60 pounds of pressure to dislocate a knee cap. However, the last thing any small person should engage in is hand-to-hand combat, without lots of proper training. I dislike violence and don't want to engage in it, but on the other hand, I'll be kicking myself if I allow myself to get into a situation without proper "deterrence" and protection. 

  • I know that a well placed bolt from a hand crossbow can do as much damage if not more than a poorly shot light or medium xbow.....80lb is more than enough to penetrate human flesh....and break a bone.....attacker incapacitated, time to move on....

  • Well, I certainly wouldn't need a conceal carry for the blade.  What happens if you drop it, bye-bye leg?

  • And yes the Book of Eli is a good movie.....The Road is a little closer to what things may be like in a post apocalyptic future....
