Dooohh,

I've just re-registered all of my genealogical doo-dahs so now I'll have to cancel my subscriptions again............... what will I spend all my money on ?

It's alright as I've just looked at my bank statement and my OH has solved my problem ;-) :S

I wonder what excuse he will give tomorrow when he realises that Nothing has happened again...

Ooooppppsss miscalculations.... :O

Supposed to 11pm in GB..you're OK for another 3 1/2 hrs Frank ;-)

Drat,

I'm going to have to re-register with Genes Reunited as I cancelled my subscription. ;-)

We were on British Summer Time so did that not make our deadline 7.00pm :S

Ooops, 1704 GMT.

Does this mean I'm not going after all........................

That's a shame as I was looking forward to getting all the missing info on my family trees.

:S

And I was having such fun tidying up all the craft stuff. I won't get it finished in time now. May aswell have a hot choc and watch Dr. Who instead.

Her pain in the butt ex

Are we there yet?

To whom should I address my official complaint at being left behind? I went to bed with my arms crossed , "composed myself for death " and, if not forgiving of my enemies, at least in a state of pity for them lol.

I think I was 'good' enough to go... really I do, I am kind to old people and animals, don't lie, steal or murder, I'm not EVEN an aetheist ;-) ( though I suppose my morals might leave a bit to be desired, being an unmarried mother? do you think? )

Who do we think will be the Antichrist......?

Oh thanks JaneyC - just when I was sighing with relief =I

For those who just haven't figured out what has happened to them

You have lots of time to rent the movies now.

Has it not occurred to anyone here ... the rapture takes only the GOOD people. The rest are ... now, you have read the books, surely ... LEFT BEHIND.

So think carefully.

What does this tell us?

Is anyone missing at all? Roll call!

2011 AD—On May 21st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation).



I'm thinking it's Oct 21 we need to be worrying about now.

AuntyS, will you put a BF on this file?

Well, it's the 22nd of May here in NZ, no crash, bang or wallop, I'm off to bed lol

Well it is 20 past seven pm here and it looks like I've hosted a complete failure of a thread.

No whoosh! no bang! not even a whimper! And to make matters worse no bad weather predicted for today, although I do believe there were strong winds in some of the country areas of the state.

However just so you all know this is not the first catastrophic event to go awry here is the last word in stupidity, no not from America, from Australia no less....


from WWW

On a windy January Monday in 1976, 2000 people went to Glenelg a beachside suburb of Adelaide..

We faced the sea and waited to be swamped, indeed obliterated, by a tidal wave.

We knew, of course, that nothing would happen.

But Melbourne housepainter John Nash predicted the catastrophe after he had a dream that much of Adelaide would be wiped out by an earthquake and tidal wave at noon on January 19, 1976.

His prediction became rumour which swept the city. The rumour became an inevitable fact.

People sold beachfront properties for bargain prices. Occupancy at foreshore hotels and motels dropped to 25 per cent. Staff absenteeism doubled.

Hundreds of people, particularly of Greek and Italian backgrounds, fled inland as far as the Riverland, their cars loaded with personal possessions, to avoid the ocean-generated holocaust.

One couple arrived in the Renmark with a goldfish in a bowl.

At Barmera, the caravan park had the "full'' sign out and turned dozens of people away.

The BBC sent a television crew to Glenelg from London to record the predicted catastrophe.
Media from across Australia were there. A Sydney radio station did its regular morning show from Adelaide to record the Big Wave.

At Glenelg, the mood of the crowd was somewhere between hysteria and hilarity.

No one seriously believed there would be a tidal wave, but it was sort of fun to be there just in case.

On the beach, a brisk sea breeze whipped up flopping waves big enough to topple a toddler but too small to tempt even a novice surfer.

The Premier, Don Dunstan, mingled with the crowd, assuring people nothing would happen.
Some of the true believers wore flippers and goggles. A few carried surfboards.

One man came in a dinner suit, saying he wanted to die in style.

As midday approached, Mr Dunstan appeared on the balcony of the Pier Hotel and told the crowd
we had nothing to fear. There would be no disaster.

He drew a great cheer when he said Mr Nash, who made the prediction, would not be welcome in Adelaide again.

But we were ready to cheer anything.

At midday there was a bit of a count down, 4000 eyes looked to sea and as history didn't need to record, nothing happened.

We knew there would be no tidal wave.

But we went, nevertheless.

Within minutes, laughing toddlers were again scampering from the flopping waves. The crowd filtered into restaurants and bars.

The following morning ,The Advertiser in an admonishing editorial said: "Hopefully, the lesson we should all have learnt from yesterday's pathetic anticlimax is to rely more on our common sense and less on the silly and unscientific speculation of self-appointed soothsayers.''

What an interesting admonishment, sort of fits 2011 doesn't it.

Ahem Scottish actually, CC tea coming up. lolx

Emmax ;-)

:D oh good...you are all still here then.

Anyone for a cup of tea? :D
