End Of The Mayan Calendar

The last day of the Mayan calendar is on Friday, December 21, 2012.

I personally don't believe that the world will end at this time; however, I do believe that there may be panic as we near closer to this date, especially since people will be bombarded by it in the media.

We have been stocking up on non perishable food for the past few months and we believe that we have about three months of food if we ration it properly. We will do some more shopping around the 15th just to top everything off. I'm betting that there will be chaos, possibly even food shortages, at the grocery stores after the 18th as people try to stock up on food and water at the last minute.

Is anyone else doing any prepping?

I'm watching Doomsday Preppers...it's a laugh a minute !  I especially enjoy it when the whole family runs a practice "bug out" by loading all the good in the truck(s) and heads for the more survivable location down the road.

In the film footage of the travel down the road (to the middle of nowhere) there is no traffic whatsoever. When the end really comes the roads will be packed (see any apocalypse movie).

Hell, a wreck on the freeway at rush hour has traffic backed up three miles in my area !  Let alone everybody and his brother trying to get somewhere to loved ones.

I hated California traffic when I lived there. In LA, not even during rush hour, you're lucky to move 20 mph on some freeways. If you have never experienced road rage, move there for a year or so.

It's Y2K all over again. 

How do you prepare for something you don't know about? An end of one "world" is the beginning of another "world". Sounds like your prepping is based on trying to hold on to the ending "world", instead of accepting the new "world".

I would rather be open to the new beginning, then cling to what is left of the dying "world".

That's quite poetic; however, I have a 3 year old little girl to think of.

I'm not worried about the world coming to an end. I'm worried about the chaos that could be caused by the people that that think the world is coming to an end. 

All the "news" coverage about December 21 has seemed to have died out. I guess it was a fun story a year or two ago. Now nothing. Wonder if that means something? 

Just give it another week. You will be sick of seeing doomsday and Mayan shows on television. 3-5 days before the 21st, all you will hear about on the news is people making last minute preps "just in case," and the chaos that follows. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the crazies are about to come out of the woodwork.
