Jenna, if I had to give up reading all my Substack posts except for one, I always thought I'd have a hard time choosing between yours and Jeff's (Coffee & Covid) as the one I'd keep. But your posts lately have been beyond enjoyable, and today's just bumped you up about 10 notches as my favorite Substack author.
Laughter is indeed the best medicine for these crazy times. Can't wait to get your new book!
Seen the movie, collected them for a while, but used them since for this and that :-D. I stopped giving old clothes to charity, hope they do the trick as well.
Dear Jenna, you are genuinly making me laugh and not in the sarcastic, pissed-off, gallows-humour way I usually laugh reading the news or politicians speeches. Thank you for that.
Actually, I am prepping for the end, because I am just a stubborn bitch and want to show them all the middlefingers I got after Day X.
But why tf is an english publication writing a piece about survival in the US?
Them English folks might be wanting to tell the Biden imported terrorists where the safest place to live is. I think they might still be pissed about 1776.
Totally with you on refusing to prep, Jenna. Wouldn't want to be here after the event and doubt preppers would be my first choice of companions in any world, let alone a post-apocalyptic one.
Panic shopping empties stores all the time for nonsensical reasons. Rain storms, heat waves, cold snaps, elections, riots, eclipses, ballgames, holidays, etc. Name any event and the stores are emptied out in no time. For that reason I prep during the rare occasions when there is not some kind of emergency going on.
Case in point, and Jenna can confirm, here in Texas Hill Country, if the forecast says possibility of .01 inch of snow, there’s not a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk or a single roll of toilet paper left on the shelf at our local HEB grocery store!
The choice is die slow with cancer or like with lightning where you might not even hear a loud bang.
In the 60s Kennedy was recommending everyone build fallout shelters. I only actually saw one at a neighbor's and we and the neighbor kids used it for a place to get away from the adults.
Our Coach and history teacher told all us boys and girls in history class, "Get under your school desks and bend over with your heads between your knees as far as you can and kiss your ass goodbye!"
Funny that today a teacher might get fired for saying that but can dress in drag and try to get you to have a sex change.
Most country people where I grew up had at least a month or more supply of food because the grocery store was 50 or more miles away.
An Uncle said, "You can be out of flour, sugar, salt, or bacon, and put off a trip to town but run out of coffee or tobacco and it is cause for an emergency trip to town."
As for myself, I am thinking of getting a wood fired still for water and it might come in handy to make something to barter that some folks can't do without. The revenuers will mostly all be toast by then.
Who in her right mind wants to survive a nuclear annihilation? Slow death by radiation poisoning? Um, no thanks. Catch you next time around, folks. About those breakfast tacos, Jenna. One major downside of leaving Texas is leaving Tex-Mex cuisine. Nothing like it on earth. Haven't had decent fajitas in almost a decade. Sigh. If you get to DeSoto just south of Dallas, be sure to drop by Los Lupes. Most people who eat there speak Spanish as their first language, so you know that food is genuine. And right tasty.
I lived in North Texas, so I'll take your word for it about the holes in the wall in Central and South Texas. I ate at El Patio in Austin once and loved it. Great food. Basically, once you hit San Antonio and further south, the culture is heavily Mexico-influenced even if politically you are still in Texas.
Maybe, just maybe we can better save our lives by refusing to accept these malevolent frauds as our "leaders" - to do with us what they will. This is exactly why the Sumerian texts that claim humans were created as a slave species for the Anunnaki makes complete sense. Why are we so willing to fall in line, to accept these vile gangsters instead of stringing them all up and ridding the world of the worst virus we have - human predators, if in fact they are human.
Prep? I cleaned out my canned processed food when I decided to eat carnivore🥩. I stashed all the cans in the basement. Does that count as prepping? 🧐 maybe I should throw a can opener down with the cans. 🤨
If you know it’s coming & have time put on some good music, open an expensive bottle , (or 2 if you have the time) grill up a great meal, with dessert, sit down with your loved ones, say a prayer & have a feast.
Still Jenna?! Didn't all of your readers emphasize how much you're still needed post apocalypse? Who's going to make us laugh at our melting green glowing skin and our nipple covered foreheads? WE NEED YOU!
What lake is walking distance from you. I can see Lake Houston from my home office and walk to the waters edge in 2 minutes or less. However, I wouldn't bath in it even when it's not radioactive.
I kayak on Lake Houston while trying real hard not to fall out of it. I'm concerned about the gators, snakes and flesh eating bacteria. However, I haven't actually seen any gators, I have seen snakes on rare occasions and I don't think you can see the flesh eating bacteria without a microscope.
If a nuke is launched on us, I pray that it lands on my house.
Neighbors - sorry/not sorry.
My dear mother always said, there are far worse things than dying. There certainly are!

You win FAVORITE COMMENT OF ALL TIME!! 🏆😊❤️
Aww, thanks.
Moist towelettes from KFC can be used to barter. Denzel charged his walkman with one in The Book Of Eli. Stock up now.....
YOU SAID MOIST [*cringes*] ;)
Whaa? Sorry, I must have missed something important…
Yes, with added moisture
Do the moist towelettes have to be from KFC? What about Popeyes moist towelettes?
Not worth as much, but you can use them.
Seen the movie, collected them for a while, but used them since for this and that :-D. I stopped giving old clothes to charity, hope they do the trick as well.

they are trying to take us back ... well, according to historian Matt Ehret, they never formally acknowledged we won.

Kind of like Hillary never formally conceded?
lol same folks!
LoL. They probably still rule in anyway, another rabbit hole ;-)

Correction: Los Lupes is in Duncanville, at the northeast corner of Main Street and Camp Wisdom.
You’re so right about TexMex food. Even little hole-in-the-wall places have great food, all over Texas, but especially Central & South Texas!
I lived in North Texas, so I'll take your word for it about the holes in the wall in Central and South Texas. I ate at El Patio in Austin once and loved it. Great food. Basically, once you hit San Antonio and further south, the culture is heavily Mexico-influenced even if politically you are still in Texas.
My prep is guns,ammo, and a wine cellar.
My kind of prepping!

Not a bad plan... and maybe some jerky... ;)
Barter, baby!
If it happens, I hope I'm where it drops.
If you know it’s coming & have time put on some good music, open an expensive bottle , (or 2 if you have the time) grill up a great meal, with dessert, sit down with your loved ones, say a prayer & have a feast.
Great advice!
The northwest corner of Wyoming is not downwind from any strategic targets, but the southeast corner IS a strategic target.
I'm going to ask my financial guy about the safety of roundup. I'm determined he'll know and I will accept whatever answer he gives.
🤣🤣🤣
no stress. the ETs aren't gonna let the nukes fly, apparently. they're not gonna let us be that stupid again. https://www.ufohastings.com/

I promise to stick it out AS LONG AS I CAN (and keep commenting on the crazy)! :)

Lake Travis (and we swim/ski/wake surf in it all the time) [nervous laugh]
