I am so blessed to have really quirky kids who can laugh at themselves. Of course, they laugh at their mom too. But, they are fun. And both very good company. <<<
I knew they would be special, as you are.
You will have to let Lloyd read the thread, no way to explain the bits and parts.
I have offered to send him the links. He gets to hear me talk about those bits and parts. He is a different mindset than me and the weightier things we discuss eat at him. I know they eat at us all in a manner but with Lloyd it is something very negative and does not produce any positive motivation for taking action or making preparation. I do not say this as criticism of him as we have discussed this and he realizes that, for me, it is an action producing thing to participate in discussion. For him it is detrimental. So, he chooses to spend his spare time on other things. For me, taking part in our discussions spurs me on to do more and better. I am the eternal optimistic fighter. They may take me down but I will have given it every ounce I have. Lloyd is a pessimistic do-er. He expects the worst and works hard to prepare. But, if he hears the news reports he becomes angry and rants and does nothing. He gets so wound up that he will accomplish absolutely nothing. He knows this and therefore leaves the freeping to me while he relaxes with a book or something. Truthfully, his anger when he's read the news since Nov. 4 has given me concerns for his health. It is just not healthy to be so overwhelmingly overtaken by an anger like that.
