Well we have a solar flare on the way to earth! Anyone watch that TV show “Doomsday Preppers?” The show is on NGEO. There are people getting ready for things like this … They are sort of nuts but it is a good idea to be ready when things go bad.
Back to that solar flare …. I wonder what protection the ISS crew is having to do?
I saw a place for sale that I would love to have. It would be just right for a doomsday person. It cost $3 million dollars and had 160 acres of land around it. It was in CA. It was built for communications during the cold war and was built to stand a nuclear blast. I would like to have it. I am just a little short of $3 million.
I guess a lot of people saw the video by the 700 pound 23 year old guy. He was asking for help. It was very sad.
“…Robert Gibbs, a Livermore, Calif., man who weighs nearly 700 pounds, uploaded a plea to YouTube on March 1, begging for help losing weight; by Tuesday, March 6, the video had over a million views, 20,000 "likes" and an offer from "transformation specialist" Chris Powell to help lose the weight for good.
Gibbs, who posted the video the day before his 23rd birthday, said he'd tried everything in order to shed pounds, but he could never keep the weight off. A producer for Powell reportedly approached Gibbs about working on a weight-loss plan. Powell is currently travelling the U.S. as part of "Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition." The Daily Mail reports as well that producers from representing self-help practitioner Dr. Phil had been in contact with Gibbs…” International Business Times
I hope he can get some help. But I do not think that TV people can help him. I am sure “Dr.” Phil can not help him.
Unless he gets the right kind of help and right now he is not going to see his next birthday. I have seen people like him.
I worked at a hospital and there was a girl about his age that was about the same weight. She was a patient in the hospital and her doctors and the hospital was doing everything they could to help her. If I remember right they had her on a 3000 calorie diet (I could be wrong this was back in the 70s). Well she died in the hospital. After the body was removed from the room the hospital found her room filled with snack foods of all sort. The food was hidden in the room. She had begged her family to bring in the food for her and they did.
Mr. Gibbs sort of sounds like he does not have family or friends… That might be a good thing for him.
But I do not think he is getting the help he needs. He needs help right away. He needs professional help and not people wanting to use him to get viewers on TV.
