y'all are panicking over nothing.

Hi from the outskirts of Elbert, CO,

I signed up on this forum just to let you all know that you're panicking over nothing. Just a bunch of reactionaries - that's what you are. The news here says it's just a bad virus that makes people disoriented and gives them nosebleeds. NOSEBLEEDS!

I can't believe y'all are boarding up your houses and shooting at sick people over a nosebleed! You're probably the reason that my husband and step kids got stuck in town in last night's traffic jam and had to stay there. They were lucky to get the last hotel room in the whole dang city - no thanks to you people spreading panic. We were going to go swimming last night, until you losers messed it up. C'mon - do you really believe every zombie blog you read on the internet? HELLO!!!?!

Anyway, I'll be sticking around to talk sense into you people until this thing blows over. A little about me: I'm in Colorado too - out in the middle of nowhere between Denver and Colorado Springs. My husband and his kids and I live out away from everyone. He was married to some horrible woman who beat the kids, but finally dumped her and came out here to be with me on our ranch.

To be honest, I wouldn't care much if these zombies were real. We're pretty well set up out here. I wouldn't say we're survivalist nut cases, let's just say we're 'preparedness enthusiasts'. My dad did a lot of special ops stuff in Vietnam and Cambodia - even after the fall of Saigon. He's seen governments fall, and wanted to make sure his family was ready for when it came here. I'm not very political, but dang it's a good thing he never lived to see the Obamanation. Anyway, we all know how to shoot, both for food and defense. We've got a basement full of food storage, generator, ability to grow our own food, and everything. Plus, we're in the middle of nowhere, so most people don't even know we're here to begin with.

Well, until everyone gets back from Colorado Springs, I got double-duty with the chores. Thanks again.

Ha. Panicking over nothing. Have you even seen these things?
Some of them are so torn up there is no way they could be alive! How do you explain that?
or how do you explain that I can shoot one in the chest and it keep moving like nothing happened? Only a bullet to the brain takes care of them. Go ahead, Try it.
Half of me wants to drive over there and join you, if not to survive, then to talk some sense into you! It is only a 2 hour drive, I could make it. I think I might start loading up my truck with food and gas, just in case. All I will need is some direction as i get to Elbert, I have a 3G card, so I can stay in contact on the move.

Ok, so this was the week from hell;. Hubby and kids are still not home. THe cell [hone stopped working las week, I lost touch with them. They got stuck in Colorado S[rings riots. Told me they couldn"t drive out of town because of all the traffic and abandoned cars.

Why do -pepole have to be such idiots!

So, as of last Tuesday, they're trying to make it home on foot. Fortunately, they still had their emergency kit in the trunk. We get lots of blizzards, bears, and coyotes, so we keep food and a gun and stuff in each car in case someone is stuck in a blizzard or a tornado knocks over all the trees or something. They're in pretty good shape, and it"s a far walk, so I won't allow myself to worry for another coup\[le of days.

I wish I could say the same for me. A[pparently, whatever is making the humans crazy is also making the critters crazy. My own horse caught this stuff and I had to -ut her down. She was going to bust out of the stall - her eyes never looked so angry.

And on top of that, my own neighbor from down the road attacked me. Damned fool - he's still outside poounding on the door. I couldn;'t believe that Gus could move so fast. Whatever it is, he had it. Foaming at the mouth, making this horrible snarling noise like a trapppped animal, totally out of his senile old mind. It looked like he got tore up 0pretty bad coming across our fence. He came up- on me from behind right as I was gassing up the tractor to dig a grave for my horse and attacked me. I never saw him look so angry and horrible, not even in his drinkin;' days after Beulah left him.

Anyway, I fended him off and ran inside. Dang fool bit me on the right hand under the [pinkie. Can['t belive it - fool only has three good teeth in his head, and he got me with two of them. We have a well-stocked medical cabinet, so I was pretty free with the iodine - just incase whatever Gus had moves around through bites. I just bandaged myself up0 - sorry for the typos.

The tv isn't showing much, but the radio is still broadcasting like this was sort of friggin zombie apppocalyp[se. Hopefully the CDC will come u] with a vaccine soon. Heppefully my family will make it home ok
