2012 club in the Villages
 

Any feed back? I think they meet at Bridgeport Rec. on Wednesday but not sure of time...

What type of club is it anyway?

I think...
 

It is Villagers that believe or are interested in the theory that because all ancient calendars end in 2012, so goes the world.....I think!

Their last meeting will be in December 2012 so don't prepay your dues beyond that date.

good one logdog!
 

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I wish I knew about this club before I built my house, moved to the Villages and them put a lot of work making it nice and comfy....could have saved a lot of time and money. :cryin2:

So... I guess they don't need long-term health insurance.

I am not aware of that club, nor do I buy into the whole Mayan calendar thing, but I have read some interesting articles about solar flares and the potential disruption to some of the worlds power grid. IMO it is interesting reading and hopefully nothing more than that. Google solar flares power gird

A scary article:

Now here is a more believable (IMO) article about 2012.

Either way, this will not affect my life in any way until it happens!

Guess that I will do the same thing that I did for Y2K. New Year's Eve 1999, watched the ball drop in Time Square, I am in Mountain Standad Time, went to bed, got up the next morning, made coffee and life went on.

Now for the December 21, 2012, will do the same thing. There isn't anything I or we can do if the world should end, which I doubt very much. Seems that we are having some really funny weather so will take the same precautions that I have for my family since way back when.

Have some water set aside, some extra food, make sure that we have at least a 30 day supply of our medication and take whatever means needed to protect my family. Be ready to help our neightbors if needed.

Everything that I have mentioned above should be taken by everyone all the time. You never know when a nautral, man made or whatever will take place and you will need to provide for your family and friends.

If I want to be scared I read my Barnes and Nobles charges.

Ho hum. I was so convinced Y2K was a huge hoax that I refused to do anything to my home PC or laptop, despite the millions the company I worked for was forced to spend, and in turn, forced it's vendors to spend to "fix" the "problem".

I didn't run any windows or other software patches. I didn't even do the ridiculously simple (and silly) change of making the year read four digits instead of two. I didn't stock up on food or water and didn't fill my bathtub. I figured electronic devices didn't know or care whether 2000 was a higher or lower number that 1999. To them, it's all just a bunch of 1s and 0s.

Jan. 1, 2000 came and went, my desktop, laptop and all my software (Excel, Quicken and all) worked just fine.

I am equally moved by the 2012 scare. :icon_bored:

Y2K's Ghost in 2049
 

The Y2K issue was valid only for systems using a 2 digit year representation. Before the year 2000, large systems (mostly COBOL) used 98 to represent the year 1998 and so on. Most systems were designed keeping this in mind, and hence when the year 2000 arrived, the year 00 would thus become 1900 – throwing all financial calculations out of the window.

There were two solutions.
Use a 4 digit year (which was not practical without a major software rewrite) or change the assumptions:
Anything greater than “50” would mean we are in the 20th century (i.e. 50 is 1950, 60 is 1960 and so on)
Anything less than “50” is the 21st century (i.e. 00 is 2000, 10 is 2010 and so on). Many companies chose the later solution when faced with what would mean major costs to do a complete systems rewrite.

Those who used 4 digit years (option #1) are covered, and will continue to remain covered till we roll over to 5 digit years, and if the systems built today are still running. However, for those using option #2, the ghost of the Y2K is not yet gone. In the year 2049, the ghost will come back to haunt everyone.

So, why the heck would the electronic devices know or care whether 00 meant (to us) 1900, 2000 or 600?

"How would they know, why would they care?" :sing: (Please don't bother trying to fix her. She's not there.)

All my stuff used the two-digit year and didn't blink an eye when 99 became 00.

Of course I could be wrong. Fortunately for me though, all my old hardware, software and other electronic devices took my side in the matter.

2012
 

Hasn't the Mayan civilization for all intent and purposes disappeared? If so then how logical does it sound to take stock in a lost civilization presciences?:rant-rave:

Ummmm, guys, I don't think you really understand the whole concept of the 2012 stuff. It's not about the end of the world. Do your research and you will see.

When I initially learned about 2012, I thought that too, but upon much closer study, I learned it is not. But I will leave it up to the curious to dig into it. I won't spoil it for you.;)

Oh please, educate us, and I mean that sincerely. :read: There have been 1158 views of this thread, so I think a lot of us would like to hear more.

Nope, LOL, I couldn't, in my best conscience, give you this info on a silver platter. Only the pure in spirit, the true seekers, shall know the truth. You MUST search for the answers yourself.

Sorry :(

What will happen on Dec. 12, 2012 when the Mayan calender ends? The same thing that happens when the calender hanging on your wall ends on Dec. 31. You get a new calender. :1rotfl:

Well it appears none of this will matter because tomorrow at 6:00 pm. pacific time the beginning of the end of the world will start with The Rapture.

I hope I get to finish my round of golf first.

I'm seeing a lot of billboards around that say the world will end Saturday, May 21, at 6 PM. :22yikes: So I guess it doesn't matter what is scheduled for 2012!

??

Well if P isn't pure in spirit and a true seeker, I will eat your hat.:024:

That girl is as good as they make 'em. AND smart as a tack. Plus she has a wicked sense of humor...oh, well maybe just a little tiny iddy biddy not pure in spirit. But I just love her to pieces.

Good morning everyone! I need coffee.:wave:

:popcorn:;)

Sorry still here and it's 9pm.......guess I'll have to wait to 2012 and the start of a new era. At least that's what the Mayan guide told us on our visit to some Mayan ruins in Belize in March. Not the end of the world but the end of an era and the start of a new one. I hope its an improved era...this one hasn't been too great the last several years.

Glad to see you got the popcorn I sent you............ :wave:

[quote=momesu;356178][quote=Barefoot;355935]And the prize goes to Momesu ! The Indians call it the Kali Yuga period, a nasty time that we are coming to the end of...this is their interpretation anyway, but only time will tell for sure.

Do you think the Mayans might have transposed a number in their exit date? They and their civilization are long gone so maybe whoever translated the projected date got mixed up. Best advice is to "party hearty" until 2012. See you in January.

Hi Irish Rover,

Well, the ending of a cycle takes a number of years, culminating in a gradual change into another cycle. It's not set in stone as it all depends on the consciousness of the people on earth. It may speed up or slow down depending on humanities evolution.

The elites have inserted Hollywood type confusion into this already confusing time and they hype it to make lots of money, produce lots of FEAR, something which they thrive and depend on to propigate their power. When we buy into that, they win and the worlds negativity gets raised, slowing down the cycle and making the new cycle take longer to get into gear.

So, 2012 is just a date, an approximation of when the world will start the new cycle, and by the way, the new cycle is a wonderful one, one of peace, tranquility, "where the lamb and the lion shall lie down together without any ire".

A "Golden Age Could Begin in 2012

"The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used
solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then
this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali
Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the
Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years
of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali
Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the
Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen
according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden
Age could easily begin in 2012!"

So, refrain from buying into Hollywood's fear and money making and know that our beautiful world is not going to end, but will simply start a new phase of it's evolution, a happy, peaceful one ! Happy 2012 to everyone !:a040:

Yeah...right. I'll hold my breath on that one. Maybe people who don't have a brain will get one, those who are heartless will find love and the chicken-s@%t group will find courage. I think that one's been done already!
