If the rapture happened, wouldn't it be JUST LIKE THEM to leave us to deal with the mess

[Heidi]

they helped create and to a large extent exacerbated?

"Oh, dear. I'll be out of town beginning May 21. I'm afraid I can't help with Good Samaritan stuff like starving children, nuclear fallout, global warfare, global warming, joblessness, inflation and all that. But I'll try wave at y'all from the Mother Ship. How's that?"

[Raven]

1. Seriously, what do these rapture people say happens to the

folks who are left behind? Do we burn up or go to Hell or do we just hang around?

[Heidi]

3. I personally have ribs marinading in the fridge

for dinner tomorrow night, so I wouldn't likely be bothered by not having to fire up the grill. I'll be searching Revelations tonight for any references to sour mix, as I'm also planning margaritas. :D

[Raven]

4. So, we're left behind to have Rapture parties. Cool or hot, depending...

[Heidi]

6. Oh, this isn't a rapture party per se.

It's just what we do every Saturday evening (except for the margaritas...that's just something that sounds good to go with ribs). :)

[EFerrari]

2. LOL!

[Heidi]

25. It'd be even more funny it weren't truly their mindset.

:(

[EFerrari]

29. Oh, definitely. It's like living with a practicing alcoholic!

[Heidi]

30. You mean, like someone who likes to test his/her liver on a regular basis,

just to make sure everything's in working order? I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing earlier today. Which probably means I think too much. But at least we think, right?

[EFerrari]

35. Someone who likes to accuse you of not cleaning up their messes..

I hadn't thought about the poor liver! :)

[Stevenmarc]

5. Yes but then they won't be around to break it again

[Heidi]

7. That doesn't strike me as a bad thing. (nt)

[damntexdem]

8. Hey, I'd be willing to do that just to get rid of them.

At least they'd stop making it all worse.

[Heidi]

9. Couldn't agree more!

:hi:

[FarLeftFist]

10. LOL.

[Heidi]

26. I love your avatar!

:thumbsup:

[merh]

11. I just want them to leave their keys and car titles and atm

cards and jewelry and deeds on the counter and their doors unlocked.

After all, they can't take it with them.

[EFerrari]

13. I wonder if their pets are counting down, too.

[merh]

14. There have been some that have put their animals down

rather than leave them behind. Me, I figure that the animals will go before humans, their love is unconditional - they are better souls.

[EFerrari]

15. Who is the guy that said, it's not heaven without dogs?

:)

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. If there are no dogs in heaven, when I die, I want to go where they are.

I don't remember who said it, but it's lovely...

[RebelOne]

37. Right. I would prefer going to doggie heaven.

At least, I would be with those who really loved me.

[Urban Prairie]

32. That is so absolutely correct, couldn't agree more

Looking into my pet cats' eyes, I never see anything but unconditional love, maybe it is like looking into their pure and innocent "souls", it always gets me right *here* when they "squint" their eyes at me, or will try to reach out and snag my shirtsleeve with one of their paws when they are upon their cat-stand, and I pass by them w/o giving one or another a rub on their forehead, or a few slaps on their butts...

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. All right! Post-Rapture party at Heidi's house!

Just kidding!

Your menu sounds wonderful!

Have a great time, OK?

:toast:

[Heidi]

21. It's 1:47 p.m. here on Rapture Day. I've got lots of ice frozen for margaritas,

my supah KitchenAid blender is positioned for action this evening, and will soon make cole slaw. Will then make sour mix for the margaritas. :D

[Gregorian]

17. Hey, the Mother Ship is OURS!

That IS just like them. Stealing our Mother Ships.

[Heidi]

22. !

Hi, you! :pals:

[Gregorian]

28. HI!!!

Well if this isn't the worst rapture ever. It's kind of like the republican budget. Nonexistent.

:)

Life is looking pretty good. I've got my ranch up for sale, and I'm getting ready to head to another plane of existence. Adventure!

[Heidi]

34. If you don't let me know

where your other plane of existence is and we fall out of touch, I'm just gonna go off and pout. And I _MEAN IT_! :hug:

[Heidi]

27. Ha!

:thumbsup:

31. Scotsman: "Hey, McCloud,

Get off of my ewe."

Sorry, just couldn't resist :) I'm Scotch-Irish so I think I can tell that one.

[KitSileya]

19. Yes,but there's one advantage

At least they won't be here to obstruct our efforts to put things right again. That's a huge benefit.

[Heidi]

23. And that's a powerful advantage for us.

:thumbsup:

[peabody]

20. I think

it would be easier to clean up if they weren't around.

[Heidi]

24. Sadly, though,

I'm afraid they will be around for a long time to come. I just hope they come to their senses.

[TheKentuckian]

33. Cleaning is eaiser without the kooks

[saras]

36. Too bad it failed - I was looking forward to the rapture looting parties

Some of those churches have really nice PAs and equipment for a whole band.
