What we need is a new Doomsday date

[GJunktionMike]

Sure seemed like everyone was going like gang busters when we were pondering over the Doomsday on Dec 21. I know my motivation went down hill some. So I believe we need another conspiracy Doomsday to kick them gears into drive again.

Just make up a fake deadline for yourself. It works for the reality TV shows.

I have had "doomsday dates" before,
never turned out well, just cost $$.

I lived through 1984 (the year... not the movie), and it didn't look anything like the movie.

I worked at Ford's Engineering Computer Center during the Y2K debacle with everyone panicking that 2000 was going to be the end of civilization (well everyone outside of Ford, apparently!), and I lived through it, too.

Lived through the Mayan Calendar end date (twice?)

So yeah..... it sure seems like anyone could pick a random date and time and be as close to right as the next guy.

The closest I've come to "doomsday" was when we were driving up to Michigan one time when the Niagra power grid went down over a weekend. No power from mid Ohio all the way through Michigan. No ATM's, no gas, nothing was working unless run via generator. It was one freaky weekend. Fortunately, I had just topped off my tank apparently just before it happened, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.

I watch these "Doomsday Preppers" shows and really think that I wouldn't WANT to survive after the disasters they are talking about. I like my creature comforts too much.

This is a very good point. 20 years ago when our wedding was approaching, I told my wife that I'd have my 62 nova convertible painted for our wedding. I had 6 months to get it done. I worked on it regularly over the course of months but as the date approached I started to pour it on. I painted it on a wednesday before the saturday wedding but didn't like the solid color on Thursday so i spent thursday painting flames on it. I thrashed all of thursday night to put the car back together to leave on Friday. Had I not had a drop dead date, I may have never finished it.

I already did my taxes so April 15th is out. I think I'll go with the January 2017, close enough to make you think but far enough out to get something done. Little green men It could happen.
