Hurricanes,wars,etc. they'll use any little excuse to stick it to consumers,certainly nothing new.The Middle East seems to always be in turmoil. It's true, wouldn't take much for the whole region to ignite.That would really give the big oil boys a reason to hammer what tiny bit of economic...

Well, i think i nailed a good score at a local estate sale last week.:) After reading up on it, on a google search, seems the AquaRain model 200 gravity water filter i bought brand new in the box for 20 bucks was an excellent buy.I guess the young'en selling the item didn't know it's value...

Local farmers markets prices are off the charts..! It seems they are more foo foo, fancy priced markets now.They have so many people visiting, i guess they sell enough to be worth the while.I look now and then, nice stuff they have, but way to expensive.! I can get most of the stuff they have...

September means Goldenrod flow for my honeybees...yaaaaahooooo...:)

Millions of ostriches, who can afford to aren't stocking up.They just don't believe or choose to ignore whats happening around them....

Isn't that the truth Beanie...! The kids are going to be shocked,partly because the parent's didn't believe it to be true, so they never bothered telling the kids...pretty sad...

Absolutely Dragonlarual, basic math and reading for sure.Education is a good thing, but we will likely be needing simple survival skills, sooner than we care to think.In the near future having plenty of money, may or may not meet our needs, i'm not counting on it.I still fish and garden, and...

I have stores put away for a rainy day, in the form of milling grains,beans and rice.stored in a way to last 10-20 yrs, longer..? I've always worked the local bays to supplement my food supply, since i was 11-12 yrs old, pushing 60yr now.Following in my father and grandfathers footsteps , have...

Yep, i pretty much learned and got into gardening/growing when i was prety young.My father and grandfather had big gardens,as long as i could remember. I agree Veggie Pak,get those little ones out in the garden, and try to spark interest.I know its not easy getting kids away from the computer...

I pray the man doesn't have to suffer long,if its as bad as Icu4dzs described.I just hope the mom and family can find peace after such a sudden and unexpected event.This must have been hard to watch Wannabefree, i know i hate seeing things like that happen to people, although i know it happens...

Thanks for helping Pirtykitty..:) Ya know, if food stamps and SSD were going to the intended Americans it was meant for, in need, it wouldn't be in so much trouble.Those south of the border, not here legally and armed with fake ID and other needed documents see it as oppurtunity,and are milking...

Mark, not at all disputing the numbers you posted.Just wondering why i'm always hearing and reading that the rich are paying next to nothing in taxes...It's really kinda confusing, who are we to believe..? Are the wealthy really paying as much as you've posted..? Or are they getting a free ride...

Also a big run on SSD according to a NBC story i read this morning.The story said SSD is fast running out of funds.Apparently many who are unemployed long term, and disabled persons who lost jobs are seeking SSD benifits in large numbers.Sorry don't have a link to the news report.

Icu4dzs....lol...glad you decided not to lurk this one afterall...! Pretty lively thread...! I agree with alot of what you've said, but do feel the richer can pay a bit more in taxes, it would help plenty right now, but isn't really the answer to our problems.To many collecting govey(our money)...

Your exactly right Leta. Half the problem with the younger ones these days is that most feel they are above getting their hands dirty.Most wouldn't know what the heck an asparagus growing out of the ground looks like.In this world, with the very techy kids we have now, i think it would be a...

I agree with what animalfarm and Icu4dzs are saying. I was disagreeing with the way Savingdogs put it, not Boogity...!

Ahhh...come on Icu4dzs...you a lurker this time around..? lol.. Lets hear what you really wanna say...!

I disagree, while Boogity's big heart is to be seen as very humane, i would say its not right to call anyone dumb, handicapped/retarted or not.One should be grateful they are not in those persons shoes/situtation..! IMO

I pretty much agree with SillySoap, i don't really see anything as being fun for a teacher or anyone for that matter in a post SHTFS...! I mean really, people are going to be hurting big time, how can that be fun...?

I'm onboard with CrisonRose and FarmerChick..One is plenty in most backyard situations. Lets face it, most roosters are loud, agressive and annoying.If you feel a need for so many roosters, plan a move into the deep countryside, why should all your neighbors listen to that all day long in a city...
