Are you ready for the continuation of life as we know it?

Asked by SavoirFaire (28831points) May 21st, 2011

Unsurprisingly, Harold Camping was wrong yet again. No earthquake, no Rapture, no Jesus on a cloud. Since life is continuing as normal, are you prepared?

Yep.
Mossberg loaded by the door. Check.
Extra ammo. Check.
Water and food. Check.
Gasoline and generator. Check.
Matches and lighter fluid. Check.

Oh… and weed killer on the lawn.
Yep! I’m ready.

I am still breathing. My heart is still pumping and the damn gas prices are still too high.

Life carries on. jp

I am all set to live each day like there is no tomorrow as I always have with just a little twist on the old routine! ;)

It’s not the time yet, is it? I thought it was supposed to be at 6pm?

I guess this means back to work on Monday.
Like Jackson Brown said, we’ll get up and do it again.

We are all still alive. No changes yet. Still all the same old routines. No school, waking up and eating and staying at home the whole day. Sometimes not even going outside.

Yes. And I feel fine.

Maybe we’re the ones who were raptured. Has anyone checked to see if Harold is around. Maybe he was left behind.

LuckyGuy's avatar

@Aster. Always! I never leave them in the sink. Lead not ants and mice into temptation.

I have a few hours left. I heard 6 pm today.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, I guess I’ll have to go back in to work on Monday after all. (sigh!)

Not as such, but I’ll manage.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@Aster @faye It’s supposed to be at 6 pm local time, meaning the Rapture was predicted to go time zone by time zone. More than half the globe is past that time, but there have been no earthquakes, no graves thrown open, and no people taken up to be with God. Unless all of the elect are Americans—and unless no faithful Christians were ever buried in Israel or Italy—Camping is wrong yet again.

Hell, I’m making rapture jokes like there’s no tomorrow.

And the big winner is…. Camping!
“As the day drew nearer, followers reported that donations grew, allowing Family Radio to spend millions on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the doomsday message. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.”

He is bowing his head in shame all the way to the bank. People sure are stupid!!!

I never changed living each day to the fullest….. You never know when you will end up like poor Randy Savage or hit by a bus so make the best of today always.

Bellatrix's avatar

Yes. I will now finish the work I have to do for tomorrow since I am still going to be here and there are no zombies likely to attack. I had planned on having a shooting match with the zombies but now, well I had better just make sure I have some stuff done for my boss!

Berserker's avatar

Yeah, some fucking Apocalypse that was. I can’t believe people keep buying into this crap. I’ll just keep chuggin’ along till my own personal Apocalypse comes to claim me to the bowels of Hell.

Bellatrix's avatar

Hold the phone! Harold made a mistake, it will all happen in October. I have put it in my calendar.

YoBob's avatar

@dverhey LOL! (Your going to hell for that one…. ;))
