skeeterbug Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So it's the night of the 20th, and Australia will get hit with the end of it all first. If you all wake up tomorrow and Australia has sunk into the ocean or something.... Have a cupcake for me. Or a piece of bacon if you prefer. Cheers! Nice knowing you! :cheers2: (Discalimer..I'm attempting to be humourous and not to cause any sort of debate about this issue! Here are the smilies to prove it...) :biggrinjester: :D :rolleyes: :hat: :smilielol5: :p (Ack! Dare I post this? Can the boards handle it right now? I'm afraid!)

Melissa in Australia Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Who is also in Australia, and wondering if end of the world means I don't have to finish my 2500 word essay that is due next week.

Rosie_0801 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have friends in Ballarat whose kids are hoping for a zombie apocalypse. :D I guess my aunt is too because I've already heard about her plans. Good thing she likes me. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm feeling pessimistic. Those blerry Mayans probably just thought the solstice would be a tidy time to end a calender. I'm Australian. I'm allowed to blame the government for everything. It was probably some blerry Mayan politician. :cursing: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfknitter.# Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Mmm.. Bacon cupcakes for cakes and ale.... Yes, I do have a bakery near me that makes lovely bacon cupcakes in a waffle/pancake batter that are topped with a maple butter cream frosting... (how does one get to the smilies? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 My husband and I have been joking about this for weeks. In fact, as a family joke....we stopped school for December and are doing a huge survival skills unit study with the kids - reading My Side of the Mountain, doing First Aid Skills, learning about clouds and weather, reading Tools of Navigation...my son is having a blast. They're going to be disappointed when we get back to our regularly-scheduled program in January. I told my husband that we are spending our last few days on Earth signing closing paperwork (we finally sold our house - ugh), fighting with the mortgage company, calling the realtor every hour and I have had a huge headache for several days now. It's been a fitting end for us! :p (Not sure you can tell, but I'm trying to be silly.) :tongue_smilie: :biggrinjester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Well, we will be next right after Australia. My family has already made a date to watch "2012" on DVD on December 22nd. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieamy Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The world can't end ... I still haven't finished all the Girl Scout cookies I bought. I need to put "Eat more Girl Scout cookies" on my to-do list for the day I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDays Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Oh, we can handle end of the world talk just fine.

Catwoman Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 O.K., please keep me posted because if the world is ending I'm going to go get a maple glazed donut. :drool5: Only one???? Live a little. Have at least three. And get some extras to bring home with you, just in case the end of the world is delayed and you get kind of hungry while you're waiting.

kitten18 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Be Prepared. Get one anyway. :D Good plan. I will have to sneak out by myself though. The kids are GF so I have to sneak stuff like that when they're not around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere it is supposed to happen at 9 am PT which is probably 22 Dec in Australia and Indonesia. If my calculations are right it will be about 4am on the 22nd here when it is 9am on the 21st in California. So, I will be blissfully unaware when the world ends!

Stayseeliz Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 If it all ends now I must say that my last week in the normal world fighting the flu has been a sorry end. Blah!

sagira Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It'll be noon by us when it's 9 AM PT. I'll make sure to put toddler to bed right before then (nap time) and grab my kids to read books on the bed too while I nurse the toddler.

dands Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 my kids got together and told me "Mom if the end of the world is tomorrow do we have to do the dishes and take out the trash?
