Inside the Mind of the Celtic Savage

I am not taking any compensation for this post and have not taken any compensation for any post’s since December.

By now you know that disaster prep is what I do, Teaching people to fend for them selves so that they don’t have to rely on some politician to help them. Well the people of China and Burma don’t have the luxury that we free people of the United States Have. But there are ways around this red tape. Save the Children is one of the few charities that are allowed by both the Chinese Government and the Myanmar Junta to operate in their territories.

A forum that I am a member of, Called Zombie Squad is holding a fund drive to provide disaster relief to the peoples affected in these tragedies. Zombie Squad is a St Louis based non for profit disaster education\relief group that provides education on preparing for disasters along with a unique entertaining approach. After all if you could survive a zombie outbreak you can survive anything. Most of the members are Redcross volunteers, police, fire, ems, or just regular Joe’s that want to learn how to manage in the event of a Tornado, Earthquake or Katrina scale disaster.

Zombie Squad’s mission has always been to educate the community to prepare for natural disasters. We also assist communities in their time of need when disaster strikes.

This fundraiser will follow the same design as our previous Hurricane Katrina and Greensburg Kansas Relief fundraisers.

With Hurricane Katrina, we raised:
Amount Raised: $2686.00
Number of Donors: 100

During the Greensburg Kansas disaster, we raised:
Amount Raised: $2701.00
Number of Donors: 92

I’d like to see no less than $5,000 raised for this one. I know we now have the membership base to make this a reality and really make a difference for the literally millions of people suffering from this storm.

The funds for this drive will be donated directly to http://www.savethechildren.org/ via check at the completion of this fund drive, which will last 30 days. Save The Children is one of the few charities which are actively giving aid in both the country of Myanmar and Sichuan Province in China.

NOTE: 100% of your donation will go directly to this charity with Zombie Squad paying all of the associated fees we will incur for this drive. If you donate $100, every cent goes to Save The Children and in turn, to those in need in Myanmar and China.

Why not just donate money directly? There’s nothing wrong with that. If you don’t feel comfortable donating to the ZS fund then please don’t let that stop you from donating directly! However, You get cool stuff if you donate with us:

1) The first 100 to donate $20 or more to the ZS collection will receive a special edition ZS dog tag, similar to the Katrina relief effort tags.
2) If you’re a member of our discussion forum, you’ll get a cool banner under your name until the end of the year.

Or you can send us a check or money order payable to Zombie Squad (no cash). However. Be sure to e-mail us at charity@zombiehunters.org so we know to expect it.

ZOMBIE SQUAD
Attn: Myanmar/China Relief
P.O. BOX 63124
ST. LOUIS, MO. 63163

Make sure to mark on the check that it is for Myanmar/China Relief Donations.

We feel it is important to come together and help out those whose lives have been affected by this tragedy. This is our opportunity to show what we as a group can do to make our world a better place.

If you are not comfortable donating to ZS please do not let that stop you from helping out. However, be sure to investigate before you give.

Thank you for your help. If you have any questions at all regarding this relief fund raiser, please don’t hesitate to email Gunny at charity@zombiehunters.org

Well today I got up went to work and in the middle of my boring day, Steph calls me up flipping out. So I get her calmed down to the point that she can tell me what happened, when she says. Your son was playing with fire and burnt your chair. Brief pause and I reply can you say that again?

So I keep my cool because I have not thought of this contingency plan. The kiddo is on house arrest to his room until I get home and then I start to formulate my plan. Obviously he didn’t get it the last time we had the little don’t play with fire talk. So how can I reach him. And that is when it hit me pictures of burn victims. So for the next 20 minutes I spent finding the most graphic pictures of horribly burnt people that I could find. Some pictures of people with disfiguring facial burn scars and several of cadavers of people that did not survive a fire.

Armed with my cold collected dad tone and enough pictures of gore to make Freddy Kruger cringe we had the little talk of cause and effect and how would he like to live permanently disfigured like the poor souls I had pictures of. Or be found by his fire fighter father burnt to death in his house all because he thought it would be fun to play with fire.

I think by the end of it he was so traumatized by the images I showed him that he will either never play with fire again or plan B will have to be placed into effect. Plan B consists of us calling the sherrif and having him arrested for arson. At the threat of that he was crying that he didn’t want to go to jail or be burned up. Lets just hope that he is the visual learner that I think he is and got the message.

Had fire training last night. We did a refresher on initial examinations, ABC’s and vitals, treating for shock and strokes. The Board bought us all pizza and they popped the soda machine for complimentary beverages. It was kind of nice except for one thing. The current Chief put in his 2 weeks. He said he was fed up with the dept and the internal politics. I wish I knew what the hell happened, but I suspect it was some internal politics on how the dept was being run. I really don’t know. I really like him and hope that he remains my friend even if he wont be on the dept anymore.

That is one thing It is hard as hell to make friends in the country. The population is either in the 40-50+ or are teenagers. For the 20-30 somethings there really isn’t too much along the lines of quality friendships unless you went to school with em or are kin to their kin. Perhaps it is a trust issue. I am not sure. Perhaps I will just drop in on him from time to time to say what is up or find out how his sheep are doing.
