Anyone else experiencing doom fatigue?

No.

Still waiting for the real doom.

Maybe I'm just sore from working out or cranky because I'm poor ;)

Definitely yes

Already? This party is just getting started...

Hell no!

... no and no, lol, and not at all.

Course now too though, lol... to me, all them so called negativities and/or baddies and/or doomish like squawkings just sorta reminds me of a bunch of little kids squabbling over which grains of sand in a community playground sandbox belongs to them.

But heck... I'm also from L.A., born and raised, and I grew up with being told, and just about every single day of my life too, that we were going to be taken out by the 'big one', and that it was coming 'soon'. And too... I was also told, and just about every day of my life (back then) as well... that we were also going to be taken out by them Soviet missiles to boot. Why, lol, they even had us cowering under our desks in school back then, and while all the while telling us that that would somehow protect us against a nuclear bomb blast.

Now to me, and for real too... lol, the whole idea of that desk-bomb-drill crap was/is a lot scarier than any of them doomish like silly projections that folks may tend themselves for to do.

Yeah. I'm having a rest for the rest of the day.

GLP should be regarded as entertainment and no more. It has nothing whatsoever to do with truth or reality.

Tired of being force-fed all this DOOM!

I usually find a nice personal "pic-of-the-day", and chill out...this is todays...... [link to ngm.nationalgeographic.com]

For me it was their unsettling coincidence with the actual events of the past few weeks.

September 16

September 20-21
Treasury secretary Henry Paulson and fed chairman Ben Bernanke tell Congress to back a government buy-up of $700bn of bad mortgages. World stock markets soar.
September 23

September 24

September 25
Washington Mutual becomes largest ever US bank failure. JPMorgan Chase buy it out for $1.9bn.

September 26
Hopes that Congress would support bail-out in balance as some Republicans signal opposition. President says he remains confident.

Congress rejects bailout. Dow drops 777 points.
October 3

Congress passes modified bailout. Dow drops 157 points.

October 6

This does not include the European and Asian market issue happening in this same time period.

I do not think there is any way to keep up with all the crap that is supposedly thrown on our obstacle course to freedom and enlightenment, so why bother to try keeping up and figuring what is truth and what is fiction. in the end sure fire truth can only be found within and no where out there.
