[Hmmm... I must have replied to a topic on a different page... something about "not much useful info recently"]

Excellent point -- I've had several projects that I wanted to work on and document for sharing here, but I've been so blasted lazy (sort of).

Maybe we can all think of one simple, useful, pertinent project to work on this weekend and then write it up to share with everyone on Sunday night! (?)

I've got one "huge" project started that I'm extremely interested in getting feedback on... Actually my wife got it started and she's not even a survivalist!

Until Sunday (w/ impertinent babble thrown in in the mean time :^)!

 

This is why I have taken a few days off from the board. I just couldn't stand the negativity anymore. SM is a habit, I check it several times each day, and I have so for as long as I can remember, hardly missing a day of viewing new posts. Here lately though the negative, pessemistic views leave me disappointed, depressed in the direction of the board, and to a certain point antagonistic. I do not believe that everyone in D.C. is evil, nor that the sky is falling. I still think the U.S. of A. is the best country there is, but no it is not perfect. I am going to do my best not to reply or read any political posts, nor the impending doom of our financial system. I sure would like to see the survival come back into survival monkey. Product reviews, disaster scenarios, preps, all that good stuff.

 

Fighting off the doom is a major challenge. If it's getting you down, just stay out of the "Freedom and Liberty" section (and maybe the news) and most of the posts aren't negative at all.

Plus, there is the natural tendency of just plain running out of things to discuss. After a while, it's difficult to come up with something that hasn't been talked about several times already. After a while, your limited to mostly news, which is by it's very nature, negative.

 

Having participated in a number of events over the years that were highly publicized with a rendition that was somewhat less than the truth, my skepticisms are grown and nurtured by active participation and actually being there lends quite a different perspective that that fed the .gov controlled media.

 

Don't wanna and you can't make me...
