Light Sweet Crude Oil
 
Member Quotes
I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

Here's another

Hugs to you SPG.

I'm fairly sanguine (though I have slapped myself mentally to stay awake)

I think because I've seen riots on TV, mortgage rates over 20% and NO gas in the '70s, relatives lose their homes because of negative amortization loans in the '80s, friends and relatives lose their jobs to off-shoring in the '90s, friends and relatives lose their life savings in the dot-bust and all their imagined home equity in the '00s.

This too will pass.


Thats for sure, heck when I lost my house in the 80s due to negative am......the RTC was right there to cradle my @@@. Anyone on this site is 100 times more prepared than the average American.....its Friday, go have happy hour and pat yourself on the back.....Youve done good!!!

Everythings OK

I don't know you as well as some on here, but I was only just thinking today about how resilient the heavy posters/mods are on here. Going by your responses to my posts and some of the other posters, it sounds like you may have been in the denial stage for some time as to how bad things really are and that anxiety may have been welling up in you for some time which you have been trying to supress. You need to take time out from this forum and limit your news intake, better still, turn off the fekking P.C for a few days! Go out this wknd and socialise, have a few beers and then some more, then go and shag your man/girl/both silly and finish off with a 5 mile hike in the wilderness Smile

Don't forget, this is mostly a doomers forum. And we'll still be here when you come back Wink

Oh, and [[[[[hug]]]]

PS.If it makes you feel any better,I just ate three boxes of my kids junk food school lunch snacks while reading the forums,loaded my shotgun,went out back and shot off a few.
Im much better now.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGS!!!!

My family is really big on hugs all the time, they work wonders.

You need to connect physically with friends and loved ones and draw on their love.

Go find them and hug them!

You need to do this.

Stay away from here for a few days.

And go and do things you love, whatever they may be.

I don't know you that well but I have enjoyed a number of your threads so *hugs* for you smallpox. Light lots of candles and turn off the lights! I was feeling very down an hour ago before I did that. I think the 4 bottles of beer helped too Laughing

Remember, whatever happens to humans, the earth and life abides.

Thanks everybody! I'm done freaking out now I think. I'm completely exhausted after watching the DOW today.

Big hugs back to all of you. I wish I could cook you all a nice meal, kick back, drink a beer, and chat in real life. Be well everyone.

BIG FAT HUG FOR SPG.....

But what you really need is: Drawing (very large)

When I feel an anxiety attack take hold I have found that 100-200mg 5-HTP helps. At least it works for me.

What are we, fracking Bonobos? SPG, you're getting soft. Sounds like you just need to go shootin', or maybe hit the heavy bag a bit Twisted Evil

Good advice. I went without Internet for most of this year. It was nice---gardened a lot more, played a lot more guitar, read a lot more books, got out a lot more. Only got hooked on the Intercrack again because I wanted to look for work, plus I started taking horticulture classes that required online access. But now I'm spending an inordinate amount of time on PO.com again, damn it. The recent "troubles" don't help. Gods help us, we appear to be on the leading wave of a New Great Depression. Frack.

OK, I need a hug now, too. Embarassed
