I am also stocking up on food and other material. The usual TSHTF stuff you know... Quoting: Utter_RotContrary to this my wife seems to be living in total denial. For some reason she doesn't see or refuses to see what's happening. Last night we were watching the news and she said something about a family event in 4 months or so. I replied something like "We will be having other serious issues 4 months from now." That was it. She fucking freaked on me... The same applies to most of the people I work with. Total denial. In case they're not talking about business shit their main topic is football...WTF is wrong with those people? your messing with their fantasy world.. HELLO  |

| misterx User ID: 1286998  South Korea03/15/2011 04:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most folks aren't really ready to handle real doom. Maybe, never will be. Phoenix was joking (I think) about this being "what we train for." It's true though. Yeah, it's bewildering. I think my wife's religious faith (RC) makes her able to handle about all the info I throw at her. She's ready in her own way, but as a result I kinda wonder how much of it even really registers with her. Everyone else around me probably thinks I'm a crank, though. And that's all right. It's good at least having folks around here on somewhat the same wavelength. Yeah, this certainly looks like the real deal.

Exactly,the writings been on the wall in neon flashing bright colors for years and it's all coming together now, I have completely rid myself of all material possessions(except for my comp) my room is empty,I sleep on a cot,my go-bag in the corner stocked and ready to roll. No whimsical thoughts of life will get better,no delusions of the government will take care of me when SHTF,no fancy bunker or hunkering down thinking things will get better over time,I'm ready for IT as much as I can be. |
| SomeGermanDude User ID: 1297316 Germany03/15/2011 04:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been into Doom the one or other way for years now. It started years ago when prophecies of different people were a hobby of mine. (Hi Titor & Gaiaman) Russia shall invade Europe sometime. Over this topic i came across the financial doom, which is what i am sure will hit us soon. Over the years i freaked out now and then, once driving to the ATM at night. I never freaked out without a reason, tho. Each time i freaked out, i was right. This time im calm. The stuff down there will not affect us much here. But watch the stock markets closely. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1280904 France03/15/2011 04:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My other half is listening to me but not Freaking out. We are a good balance as i can tell him to fill up the gas tank and stay home from work, and he will. However we are still getting the kids ready for school and keeping ourselves grounded. I do believe that something is happening. But what and when, we have to all reserve our strenght for the real emergency that arrives on your doorstep. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1220192 United States03/15/2011 04:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Soon you will find out, that denial is the best thing you could have done the last 10 years....the doomers were right but the denialist had a lot less stress... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 923740I am neither a doomer or denialist.I am a realist.We have prepped for a little over 5 years now.We do not dwell on it though,it just became a normal part of life.It has relived stress if nothing else.We have a few years of food,have learned to can,and the garden is now over an acre.Canning and the garden have been great stress reducers. So you can prep and be ready with out it affecting you in any negative way.It has actually eliminated stress in our lives. |

| htp User ID: 977661 United States03/15/2011 09:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is funny. My wife is going through old boxes of photos, trying to put together family history to pass on to the the kids. I'm thinking to myself - " What for? We are toast." But, I don't say anything like that, I just help her figure out the who and whens, the toss or keeps, and keep my doom to myself. No biggie. |

In case they're not talking about business shit their main topic is football...WTF is wrong with those people? Freaking your wife out isn't going to help. Prepare for the both of you and let her live in her delusion, for a little while longer. If we do all have only a short time of "normality" left, we should try to preserve this for our loved ones, for as long as possible, while we make preparations for them, on their behalf. Some people just don't want to know the truth, even if they know it is coming. You can try warning other people in your life, but if they choose not to listen, then let them be. When TSHTF, you can, in good conscience, feel that you tried your best to warn them. You just better make sure that these same people don't come and scrounge off you, as you will have to look after yourself and your wife. Pain In Ur Azz! |
