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.

My wife tells me the same thing.... Grrrrrrrrrrr...
Your husband sounds like mine. I try to keep my indignation in check because he just takes off with such venom, I wish I’d never brought it up. Good thing we both like NASCAR, we can safely be indignant about that. Although, he gets really incensed if something bad happens to Harvick. It took him three years to stop climbing the walls defending Barry Bonds (he’s a die-hard Giants fan). He’s so cute, though. Very loyal. He took care of me last year to recover from cancer. He’s one in a million.

One can’t ask for more than that.
Each of us reacts, in our own way to the news.
It all makes angry today, either I think I did not hear all the story or I think they are lying to me.
