So how would you classify yourself, say, on a scale of 1 to 10--one being no preparation at all for disaster, and ten being full-on bunker mentality?

After a steady decline in gun ownership in recent years, more homes are reporting having a weapon inside, according to a new survey.

Rules:
1. I have to make an honest effort to respond as soon as I read your answer, I cannot think about it or look up information and come back later.
2. I cannot merely say, "Thank you" or leave an emoji or an emoticon. A response from me means an actual and complete sentence. (Questions are one type of sentence, by the way.)
3. Your answer is automatically disqualified from competition if it's in a language that I don't know/can't read.
4. Nonsense answers are encouraged, but remember with whom you're dealing, and I respond very well and very often to nonsense.
5. If you don't hear from me at all anywhere in the thread that follows your answer, you've won.

It disappeared and another skeleton of a lizard was turned over and tossed on the porch. This never happens.
The last time someone in my close life died like this, a coyote left jackrabbit feet and a tail in front of my house.

I think its unfair that they got to move on already. We have a baby together, so its even harder for me because i dont ever want to trust another man into my life. I just feel like maybe i should be happy, am i having selfish feelings? any tips on how to get over and move on myself?
