    I don't know about your Miejers but the stores down my way are getting picked pretty clean. Don't get me wrong there is still plenty of food at the moment...but I can't find ton's of my normal shopping list. From toilet paper now to Diet Mt Dew to frozen buffalo wings and many many different cuts of meat to several other things....don't get me wrong...it is still coming in but I can't go to the store every day to see it come off the trucks and get it. Nobody is starving but the OP was just saying it doesn't hurt to stock up on your daily necessities...and while you are at it be prepared for anything....when there are already problems....imagine another major gas/oil refinary going offline again like it did with the cyber attack or a couple things like that....things can change rapidly when the supply chain is already stressed it can cascade rather quickly.

    Thanks for this. Well, said.

    I care about our IU family. 

    I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I've got some information that is confidential.

    Not saying the worst will happen, just saying to stock up and take care of your families.  

    And I also am trying to provide tips on emergency preparation.  

    How many knew their water heater contains sterile water?  How many. Knew it takes electricity to pump water to you house?

  2. I hope I'm wrong but I see hard times coming. Inflation is already at 5.4%.  I would take  Jimmy Carter right now.  

    The current Resident of the US makes Forrest Gump look like Einstein.  Dumbest bastard that ever lived.

    In the vein of preparedness, Does anyone watch the show Homestead Rescue? 

    There's some folks out there trying to be self sufficient that may not be able to hit the ground by dropping a rock.

    Water, food, shelter. In that order.

    One thing people don't know is there is 30-40 gallons of sterile water in your water heater.

    I about fell over when I read this headline. Lower expectations......seriously? Yep, we are in trouble. 

     

     

    @Steubenhoosier 

    I'm just saying be prepared, and be able to lock in prices for essentials and have a few weeks of food, water, and preferred fuel available. 

    Anyone who can't see this moronic administration is intentionally trying to f@#k this country up has their head in the sand. 

    They are doing this intentionally.  

    Get ready for Wiemar Republic 2.0

    But being prepared isn't a bad plan. 

    A few years ago my town was without power for about 36 hours. 

    I had clean water, hot food and my frozen goods stayed frozen.

    I am going to callyself a hypocrite tonight because I did something tonight that I have criticized IU fans for years.  I left a game at halftime tonight and thought I would never do that.  My son was ready to leave and wanted to go home and see his daughter.  We were drenched and I wasn't happy with our effort tonight.  The main reason I didn't mind leaving was the obnoxious OSU fan who was getting on all the IU fans. At dinner at Buffa Louises we set with two OSU fans and they were as nice as you could be. I had heard about how bad OSU fans can be but these two were great but the one at the game showed me the bad side.

    I did not expect a win but was disappointed that we didn't at least compete better.  I know it really hurt losing Tuttle but our defense had no answers for OSU offense.

    I think it is time to get your young offensive players in the game and get them experience for next year.  With the schedule and the injuries this season is off the rails so go young and get them the needed experience.

    I just hope the excitement around the program doesn't go away because of this season.  It is a lot easier to lose the support than to increase the support.

     

    I won't quit this program same with our beloved basketball program.

    Been a diehard since my earliest memories.

    Like marrying a woman. You stick with IU for better or worse and it's been a hellava ride.

    That’s huge! Think the biggest we ever landed was just over 50. It was on a trot line….can’t imagine pulling it in on a reel!

    There is a picture somewhere. That thing was probably 4 ft long at least. 

    Also caught a 30 ish lb white freshwater drum on a trip to Lake Cumberland. 

    You want big fish, go for tarpon in the Florida Keys. Caught a few "babies" down there. 

    Would love to do a deepwater trip for a truly big fish one day.

    We took hunter and boating safety in the school. CO brought in guns to teach the class....but yeah different times for sure.

    No doubt all the pits/lakes etc left behind by the mines...awesome (even great terrain for 4 wheeling)...done plenty of fishing on the white/wabash river for catfish/perch...many times just setting out trout lines even.

    My step-dad and I used to camp out on a sandbar on the Daviess, Knox county line. 

    We ran trot lines and river nets and fished with poles using crayfish we seined out of creeks. 

    I once reeled in a 54# flathead 

    But from the nets and trot lines we fed people during Vacation Bible School and a big tent revival.  Not pentecostal,my church was southern Baptist.

    Yep....as with most of us here. We went to school with a shotgun/rifle in gun rack in our truck everyday almost. Whether before or after school etc almost always in the woods if we weren't in the gym. Rabbits/Deer/Bass/Bluegill/Crappie. I especially liked hunting squirrel....not eating them though. I didn't have a steak from a cow until I was out of high school. Grew up on deer.

    Me and my dad fished those strip pits around Dugger quite a bit. Biggest crappie we ever caught came from there. 

    I remember an assistant teacher I had in 6th grade bringing in muzzleloaders he built to school to show us. What a different world we live in.

    Agree. They've been doing that since they were born though lol 

    One of my kids will just go take like a can of beans/chili.... grab his gun, knife, tent, other essentials and spend 2-3 nights out in the woods haha kid is ate up with it. 

    Man,when I was younger at that age and all the time I was either in school, on the field, in the gym, or in the woods. Of river,lake, creek. If I could catch it, shoot it, trap it, it made its way on my plate. 

    I guess the wildest thing I did, during muzzleloader season, if it started to snow I would load my muzzy put on a long sleeve camo shirt, pair of pants and wool socks and spend the time stalking deer. It's much harder than you think but the cold never bothered me. Got a few that way.

    I haven’t seen that movie but aware of it when it came out. I haven’t looked into too much of Fauci’s work during the AIDS epidemic. I’ve heard positives and some serious negatives that they didn’t want to focus on therapeutics to combat it and were simply focusing on a vaccine (as it always seems to be with him) and so many suffered (maybe similarities to what we see now) as they denied and made difficult for them to access unapproved drugs and therapies that hadn’t been fully tested. Sadly enough these drugs and therapies have all but made living with HIV no longer a death sentence and we still don’t have a vaccine. Some things appear to never change.

    From my understanding this statement is correct. 

    Both situations were similar, vaccines will fix it. Don't rely on therapeutics.

    But the Dallas Buyers Club guy was going to Mexico to get therapeutics that were banned in the US. 

    Similar to the ivermectin debate. 

    Dr. Tony is a D student that got elevated to a position he is unqualified for and his only job is to cover his own ass.

    Back in the day this dude literally said you could get aids by shaking hands. SMH.

    I'm trying to downplay the seriousness of covid. It's one nasty bug for sure. But it has also become a divisive distraction as well that keeps us from focusing on other serious problems. Yes, I'm looking at you China. On a side note, they are also pushing hard for technological superiority, especially AI, by the end of this decade. The next war will very likely be a technological one. I'm not sure that's even on our national radar.

    5GW, i.e 5th generation warfare has been in play for awhile and it's happening as we speak.

    It's a combination of psychological, propaganda warfare. It's happening in the cyberspace and the 24/7news. Look up CIA and operation mockingbird. 

    China is working on putting nukes in space while the US is putting some dude who thinks he is a woman that looks like a Ben Franklin wanbabe as a 4 star admiral?  Unbelievable

    thank you for the article…we all know the NIH knew this stuff all along….undoubtedly trying to get out in front of it as they know it was going to come out. Seems they are going to pin it on a scapegoat. Very Washington DC of them. Funny how these departments aren’t suppose to be political but oh my do they know how to play all the same games as the rest of government. I’ll leave it at that.

    If anyone ever watched the movie Dallas Buyers Club they would know Dr.Tony is only interested in lining his own pockets. 

    Anyone who thinks people in government gives a shit about us is a fool. 

    I don't give a shit them.  Honestly wish I didn't have to coexist with the worst our society has to offer.

    China is currently about to go through a huge economic crisis. I don’t want to side track this thread but they are about to experience something similar to our 2008 crisis but even worse because multiple other crisis are now dominoeing. I’m not saying this was intentionally done (I don’t rule it out) but it would be a good way to hide or lesson the blow of an economic slowdown/collapse if you take down the worlds economy at the same time all the while making them more dependent on you for their goods. Anyways I won’t go further.

    The CCP is full of geriatrics.  Their one child policy is backfiring big time. The younger population is moving toward freedom and democracy. It's why they shut Hong Kong down and are moving on Taiwan.

    China is moving fast to preserve communism because they have no other choice. It's stupid and always fails.

    I'm on record from very early on saying China, (sadly) with US help did this, and this bug is analogous to the plane's on 9/11. It won't kill all of us, but it'll be used in conjunction with the freedoms we love, to cause us to kill each other. Metaphorically speaking, mostly. 

    Seems to be working.  

    There is a lot of evidence that has been scrubbed from the internet.  I should have taken screenshots or archived it, and things that can't be posted because of board rules(sorry if I pushed the line at time, mods).

    I could probably dig around and find it but the Chinese military has been doing bioweapon research at Wuhan since at least 2015, probably earlier. 

    We are at war with China, while they develop space nukes, our stupid government let's hundreds of thousands of unvaccininated, uneducated useless people into this country. 

    You vaccine people want someone like me to be forced to get the covid vaccine, but seem to be fine with letting hundreds of thousands of people, who we don't know what their Vax status is! 

    They could be bringing in measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tuberculosis...ect

    They want to overwhelm our Healthcare system and break us from within. 

    Anyone that has 2 brain cells to rub together should see what it happening!

    Bingo.  Robert Arthur "Art" Grove.  Hell of a player, but I was told he tore his son Jeff's junior high games apart so viciously that Jeff said the hell with it and never played a high school game.  Younger brother Sam "Slammin' Sammy" Grove was a starter on the 1978 Hatchet's team that coughed up a 10-point lead with two minutes to go against Terre Haute South in the semi-state finals. The guy that told me the story said Jeff was a lot better than Sam, and I thought Sam was a very good player.  John Brown from the 1978 WHS team still holds the single game field goal percentage at USI (then ISUE).  1979 Mr. Basketball Steve Bouchie was a junior on that team.  All they lacked in my opinion was a competent coach.

    Art was a hell of a player.  In his soph year, he had an attack of appendicitis between the afternoon and night game and was unable to play the game Washington lost.  Washington won the state the next two years with Art running the team and thus, Art never lost a tournament game he played in.

    Didn't John Brown transfer from Washington Catholic to play his senior year at WHS?

    I went to First Baptist church with a guy named John Brown. Knew him pretty well. Could be a different John though this timeline fits

    "Gain-of-function research involves extracting viruses from animals and artificially engineering them in a laboratory to make them more transmissible or deadly to humans"

    OK...does anyone still believe the lame "wet market" story China is peddling? I am on the record from beginning that this was a purposely engineered or modified virus.  My opinion has never wavered on that.

    I never believed it and never wavered either. So I'm on the same page as you. 

    China wants to be the sole superpower in the world and will do anything to achieve it.

    Haha gotta go with my fellas!! But... most of them are hunters, anyway. I think they can fend for themselves lol 

    I do have one or two players that are BIG time hunters. They fly out to Colorado on trophy hunts, etc. 

    If you're truly in a situation where it comes to living off the land, fishing and hunting small game would be the way to go. Set a trap, cast a line and sit around. 

    Big game is too much work and energy.
