“Watch a movie, the Discovery Channel, or even better, have dinner at the dinner table, talk to your spouses, your children, your parents, read a book, surf websites other than news ones. Don’t let yourselves be led by trends, bias, spin or lies. Be steadfast on your viewpoints.”

This is so true. It’s not normal, the way we have the media 24/7/365 always pounding bad news into our brains. To have a daily barrage of the actions of every nit wit seeking their 15 minutes, every political disagreement, every natural disaster, every murder, every war, every dip and turn of the stock market flooding our brains all the time is not normal.
And it’s good to remember the media goes into an obsession about things! Day and night studying one subject from every single angle. And the media creates suspense so you will keep watching all day long to get answers. It’s not normal
and it will make very sick and very paranoid if you listen to it all the time.
Sometimes you just have to take a break and let the rest of the world go by so you can get your sense of perspective back.
Get your money out of the market on the way down, buy again wisely when it reaches the bottom.. You can quote me.. SPIT!... (cleaning glasses)...
One should always hoard food and stockpile ammo.
I respect McCain as an American hero but I am having a very difficult time voting for him for president. I will be voting more for Sarah Palin and against obambi. I still live in the greatest country on earth.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

I come from a place in which a decade ago the banking system actually seized up, and learned the lesson of living within one's means, with little or no debt.
Here it has been a few decades, and I still recall the lessons learned at my parent's knees of the time when our banking system failed as well, and our economy crashed.
The American people in general will have once again to live according to income, and not try to pimp our lives by incurring in unnecessary debt.
That is all nice, but what of those of us who are frugal, who buy little we do not need, who live modestly, who have never owned a new vehicle because it is such a bad investment?
Doom and gloom?
No, honest concern.
We can always panic later.
So, cashing out of one IRA and paying the 10% cheese fee to the Feds and buying $50,000 in bullion (hidden in 3 locations), buying 2 guns, having 6-months of food on hand and seeds for next year’s garden isn’t paranoid?
I just did all that in the month of October.
The wife and I are spending the afternoon watching the Blue Angels in San Francisco then heading to the shooting range.
It’s all good in the neighborhood.
Mrs SLB and our two daughters who are still living at home with us went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner two nights ago. The steak was great!
I made my mortgage payment yesterday - due the 10th so paid two days early.
I looked at my Thrift Savings Plan account last night - I moved the majority into a bond fund sometime back which is going up.
We have tickets to Actor’s Theater in Louisville for tomorrow night and plan on making it a night on the town with dinner somewhere prior to the play.
Did I tell you we graduated from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University eight years ago and do not own a credit card? Only use a debit card so we have NO consumer debt except for the mortgage payment. You have no idea how great it feels to pay cash for a car.
