Whiner lady is becoming a prepper!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd like to see this, I really would. I hope she gives this a good try and is sure to document it all on the internet for our enjoyment. I don't think she has half a clue how much work it would take to produce enough food just for a small family, much less their large one. I think we can expect a lot of whining out of this, unless of course she decides to just pretend it never happened after it inevitably falls apart.

your farm looks wooded

:lol:

I feel strongly what Whiner lady lacks is a basic human characteristic. Intelligence.

But she is funny.

Whiner lady is the only blogger snarked on here that I actually AM jealous of. I just went and looked at a few of her posts, including the ones showing the newest house. Even before you get to the fact that it has so many bedrooms and awesome little features, I don't think I have ever so much as stepped foot in as nice a house. And she was bitching about it when they moved. Fucking hell.

Oh, and apparently it was the smallest house they've had "since the girls were little". Catch that? They have three girls, and they're #s 1, 2 and 3. As in, they lived in a house that was bigger than that when they had only three children.

So yes, I definitely want to see her preppin' it up on the farm.

On a related note, I wonder how her husband will make so much fucking money when he's gone off the grid? Because seriously, how rich are they?

I think it seems fancier than it is because

1. You can get a LOT of house in suburban Altanta for very little $$ compared to what we pay.

2. Newer houses in the USA have nicer details than the same in Australia (thats my opinion at least).

Yes I looked a while back and posted a comparison house wise what she could afford in the UK. It was hilarious. Whiner lady would be living in ex-social housing to get that amount of bedrooms. Not sure about OZ re-climate but most houses here cost more per sq ft because of traditional build. My partner is in the industry and said that type of house would last 10 yrs, if that, say in my climate.

Her parents if I recall seem well off. I wonder if she will let them take the younger ones on 'World trip' as she has the oldest three. Doesn't seem to fit with her 'end-times' fad of the moment.

Also she has that GAP/Old Navy/ Hobby Lobby/ Walmart/Target/ Shoes/Boots/ Nail Manicures/Swimming Pool to maintain/ TV's etc thing going on. Not so much prepper as preppy :lol:

I predict a spot of organic gardening, a bit more of organic food shopping and then she will lose interest until the next shiny idea she has. Homeschooling she has flip flopped on a few times.

Mr Whiner of course will not give up his job, she loves her medical insurance too much.

So yeah, basically. New hobby. With some religious and political bigotry as it's basis.

Our prices are super high because the mines have so far fended off a recession. The build quality of newer houses varies a lot.

I'd say all the kids would be sharing bedrooms & they would be living in a new subdivision 45mins(1hr20m at peak hour) from the CBD if she lived here. To get what she owns the distance that I presume she lives from Atlanta would cost at least $1.2 million (around 700,000 pounds)

I think she paid if memory serves about a third of that. Wish I could find the thread :( Folks from all over posted what the equivalents were in their areas. It was fascinating.

ETA FOUND IT. I was happy :lol: £215,000 I estimated.

That house could be anywhere from $300,000 to $700,000, depending on location around here. Because I am in a very desirable area, my house in Decatur, GA is worth about $600,000. In a small town in the 'burbs, it would be around $300,000. In my area, her house would be $900,000 easy. In a rural area that gives you six acres, I would bet closer to $400,000. Her furnishings are cheap, as are her decorative items. Most of that stuff in the big house came from Target- her bedding, baskets, pillows, and I would bet even a good segment of the furniture came from Target and a lot of the decorations I have seen at craft stores and Target. She is not rich by any stretch- comfortable, but not rich. I just hate her for her smugness and stupidity. And I hate I share a state with her.

I can't wait for the goat posts. Bucks do things that would make a porn star blush, including screwing the living crap out of *each other* and ejaculating on their own faces. There's a reason country folk use the phrase "hotter than a two pricked billygoat."

I would pay good money to see her reaction to that ! :lol:

That pretty much describes Whiner Lady.

I'm kind of jealous of how rich she is, but if I'd rather be dirt poor than be stuck with her brain any day. The only redeeming thing about her is that she shares her stupid online so that its entertainment value isn't lost.

First thing I thought when I saw the title of this thread was ooh, Whiner Lady is going to redecorate in pink and green madras plaid. :lol:

This has probably been discussed ad nausea by this crowd, but in watching some of these prepper/doomsday folks, it seems to me that not only are they prepping for the possibilities of zombies/nukes/EMP/Mr. Marshmallow; they WANT it to happen. I think they are so locked into their idealistic thinking that they believe the eleventy! end times will be the great equalizer. They will finally be "equal" or whatever with all the people who live better/make more money/have more power than them. They actually desire for all the death and destruction because then they will have the doubters banging on their doorstep or underground bunker, as the case may be. It reminds me of how an eight-year old thinks about how great it would be to be a princess living in a castle. Playing dress-up ain't gonna make it so.

I'm sure Whiner/Prepper Lady will have Godly goats. You clearly do not. In fact, your goats are part of the gay agenda and are probably indoctrinating their kids at this very moment.

And I love that phrase. I've honestly never heard anyone outside of my family use it.

Maybe she'll fall over from shock when she sees them at it, and the goats will post videos of their "fainting human." :lol:

Extremely off-topic, but I misread this as "Whiner Lady is becoming a sprepper!" Perhaps I watch too much RuPaul's Drag Race...

Somebody needs to send her links to others with similar ideas. I would just about expire with laughter if she was friends with Zsu.

Trying to think who else she would get on well with. She's kind of diet fundie at the moment.

ETA She has 'The Encyclopedia for Country Living' So she's all set. How to sharpen your axe, light your own candles you made, log your land, raise a herd of cattle and basic bee keeping. So she's all sorted :lol:

I adore that book. :embarrassed: The woman who wrote it was a tad on the crazy side and never in a million fucking years will I be doing any of the stuff in the book, but it is such an interesting book. I picked it up at Goodwill about five years ago and if the world comes to an end, that is the one book I would want with me. She even tells you how to make your own baby diapers using moss if you are ever stranded in the middle of nowhere with a baby and no diapers. :lol:

I have to admit I would quite like a copy :lol: But like you out of interest not because I fear the end of the world or a Muslim president, just because that stuff is interesting.

OT Moss I could sell it. To be accurate 28 black bin bags. We were wondering why we did not have to cut the grass earlier this year. Turns out there was no fucking grass :cry: But I bought a new toy a Scarifier (sp) It's quite fun. The black lawn, not so much.

That poor woman that wrote that book is a perfect example of why you need to be survival minded ib both urban and rural environs.

After 8 children and twenty years of marriage, her husband up and left her and the kids, and she went broke trying to get any pathetic semblance of child support.

Wasn't there a lot of drama between her and her husband over the amount of time she spent writing the book? Didn't at one point she lived in a van with the kids while she tried to sell her book? It has been awhile since I read it.

You know, I have a very late version, and one thing that really touched me was her later notes where: She apologized to her readers for making it look easy, and for whitewashing how HARD the lifestyle was and would be for them. She really made it clear in this latest edition that real, backwoods, back-to-the-land life could BREAK people, and it broke HER in some ways, and some of her readers, and that some of her other readers felt guilty for not being able to cut it.

It's still an awesomely interesting book that I recommend, but if you end up with an edition without that caveat (I think it gets a whole chapter + sprinkles of regretful notes throughout), remember that even she couldn't live that life, and she regrets implying that people easily could.

She's getting BEES!

So, goats, chickens, bees, a cat, a dog and a partridge in a pear tree.

I need to go dig out my copy to se what version it is, but I am pretty sure it doesn't have that part in it. The thing I really love about the book is that you can be reading about growing vegetables and then get a story about something her kids are doing at that exact moment while she is writing. And then sometimes there will be an edit saying something like: "Hey it's been five years since I wrote that and the baby that was crawling around pulling stuff off the shelves is now outside climbing trees."

I think that if the TEOTWAWKI happened I would probably survive better than the Whiner lady. She doesn't seem like the type who could live in a tough environment more than 5 hours.
