as you have probably noticed, i haven't been posting much these past few days.. part of it is the "holiday blues" which i can't seem to break out of.

not much in the mood to participate in controversial, confrontational, or political posts i suppose.

i just don't have the intestinal fortitude for it right now.

Threat level raised to "Orange"

i'm feeling very antsy, i've been waiting for a much bigger "other shoe to drop" since 9/11.. i don't know if it's all the years of the apocalyptic jw thinking but i still live with a haunting fear that the whole works is headed for a spectacular crash.

i wonder how helpless chinese villagers felt when they saw ghenghis khan's hordes on the horizon heading toward them.

I think people should always be prepared no matter what the "alert" status is. America learned a very valuable and unfortunate lesson on 9/11. No one ever expected anything like that to happen here, almost as if we were invisible. Now, unfortunately, we know different. I don't think living in fear is the answer though. I just try to be grateful for all the time I have with my family and friends. I try to enjoy as much of life as possible. I am prepared if something tragic were to happen depending on what the circumstances were. But I don't look at it from a fear point. I have bottled water and canned food stored in my basement and I try to keep that supply updated (wouldn't want any rotten food ) but I would need that if there was a black out or blizzard too. I must admit that back in February when the alert was raised I was one of the people who went out and bought the plastic sheets, duct tape and everything else. Most of my family and friends made fun of me but I felt it was the right thing to do personally. Now I know that I have done what I can and when the alert is raised I guess I may pay more attention to where I am going and the crowds that will be there but whatever is going to happen will happen. Hopefully we will all have a safe and happy holiday! God Bless!!

not proud of it, but there it is.

the good thing is, it goes away just as quick.

As i am sure freelife would agree i am a very calm person......NOT! LOL Anyways, I have a horrible temper and if something ticks me off I have a hard time biting my tongue. The thing I recommend most is Valium. Seriously it is my new best friend! LOL, Pill
