Please send me some food rations.

I've been a good girl for the most part, and I now find myself stranded on a mountain in Vermont with a sandwich and some chips and there is a snow storm right now and I don't know when I will make it out of the house.

If you can't send some food rations, maybe a rifle and some bullets and a "how to kill and eat stuff in the mountains" will do.

I hope this letter is not too late to send.

To be safe, I will make a video tape, so when you find my rotting corpse on the ground you will know who I am - or used to be.

Tks.

PS: If you send cans I need a can opener too.

    Hi... this isn't santa, but it is someone who will know what you were up to before you expired.

    Good luck getting down.

      It's official.

      The roads have been blocked as there was a major accident at the bottom of the mountain - and I will be alone tonight.

      So thanks for your support.

      Well, no.

      That was a friends Wii whose house I was staying at.

      I just moved in last night to this house in the hills, and just got the phone turned on today and the internet as my cell phone has no bars here, and my evdo card does not work either.

      Those things always were my "back up" plan for emergencies - but they don't work here.

      I'm on a mountain side right now in a blizzard.

      My stuff is in boxes, and my significant other can't return home here because of the accident and the snow. He is driving half an hour in the other direction to his folks place because the roads will be more level to drive on.

      I have a sandwich, and a bottle of wine.

      Can you guess which one will likely be consumed first?

    Thank goodness Santa doesn't travel by road - he should still make it to your place

    Jill,

    I lived in NH for about 12 years and the ONE thing I learned was always be prepared for winter.

    You should always keep TWO sandwiches on hand...

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    When the beast has been slaughtered you'll need to cook it. Here's a way
    to make fire if you don't have matches or a working lighter.

    Just a hint. 'You'll hear better when fire's blazing.

    LMAO - I remember the flatlander girl moves to the mountains scenario. got the tee-shirt, yadda, yadda.

    Your next line: "I don't have tire chains."

    It's probable that a neighbor will have either a snowmobile or a cat or something of the sort, so if your sweetie can't get back up there by morning, you will need to take a hike and see if someone can snowmobile you to supplies. You'll find people living in areas like that are very friendly and will be willing to help if they can. If they can't get you off the mountain - they will give you some food that you can either pay for or replace later.

    Oh - and welcome to altitude living. You'll love the freezing summer nights after the 90 degree days, too - but you have plenty of time to learn about never going out without a winter coat in the car even in summer later.

    And don't worry............your body isn't gonna rot in that weather. LOL.
