Any one else feeling a sense of foreboding?

[Jonte_1979]

I can't shake the feeling that something really horrible will happen before the holidays are over.:(

[Sir_Shrek]

1. nope.

...

[everythingsxen]

22. Damn skippy!

Ain't nothing... NOTHING... gonna happen.

It can't I won't let it. I am leaving here on the 1st and arriving in Seattle on the 4th.

I'll be damned if I will let anything happen til I get there.

I will deal with whatever happens then.

Til then... NOTHING! :grr:

[mdmc]

2. like this?

[Jonte_1979]

4. Hehe!

That's not something horrible - that's must see TV!

[mdmc]

7. well something awful happens everyday

short, brute. Be brave! We shall be released!

[barbaraann]

6. I am going to die laughing!!!

:silly:

[latebloomer]

18. Priceless!

Thanks!

[LynneSin]

19. Do we have the after picture yet??

:D

[tainted_chimp]

28. That...

is some hysterical shite!

thank you!

[BurtWorm]

3. You dated Howard Dean?

As far as foreboding goes...not really.

PS: But my wife does.

[DODI]

5. Me too!

[durutti]

8. Yes.

n/t

[CBHagman]

9. Even before the orange alert was announced, I had that feeling.

I hope I'm absolutely wrong to have this feeling, but boy, has it caused me to pray especially hard...

[Dissenting_Prole]

10. Yeah, sorta.

Saddam found.....War on Terror - Good!

Orange alert......Terrorists - Bad!

I get the feelng we are being primed for the next stage. Must find reason to bomb more countries containing terrorists (and oil)!

[Bertha Venation]

15. Exactly.

"I get the feelng we are being primed for the next stage. Must find reason to bomb more countries containing terrorists (and oil)!"

My thoughts exactly. What'll it be: Syria or Iran?

God help us all.

[ramapo]

11. The fearmongering is very effective

Did this foreboding appear in the past 36-48 hours? Has the govt/media conspiracy to freak out the public gotten to you?

Then you're a victim of the Orange Alert campaign.

There's a chance everyday that something horrible will happen. For some the horrible day is today.

You're just concerned about the mass media hyped horrible thing. Relax. There's nothing you can do about it.

12. I think it's how Bushco wants us to feel.

Uneasy, unsettled. Constantly anxious. So that when something traumatic does happen, we'll all be emotionally worn down and ready to run to them for "rescue".

To quote a good friend of mine: "do I think this is tinfoil hat material? Maybe a little. Do I think we need our tinfoil hats? I don’t leave home without mine."

[liberalhistorian]

13. I think the capture of Saddam

and the broadcasting of pictures of him in captivity has really brought the wrath of the Islamic world, and especially the militant fundamentalists, including terrorists, down on us, which is something I don't believe the clueless, cowboy Bushistas even recognized, much less planned for. I think we're really in for it now.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Not me!

I refuse to live in fear! I refuse to be controled by events over which I have no, um, control.

Just do what you normally do, go about living your life. I'm not letting those who market fear get to me.

[oneighty]

16. At 69.5

I forebode daily!

Hee! Hee!

180

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

32. ROFL!!

[markus]

17. I haven't been able to shake that feeling since Xmas 2000

It's just been one long, uninterrupted piece of ugly.

I think the entire Orange thing is a smokescreen to make sure nobody reports on the Kurds finding Saddam, etc.

They also need something to blame the potentially bad Xmas shopping season on. Can't be having bad economic news in January that looks like it's Bush' fault.

[Atman]

20. I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatics are on the grass.

[Enraged_Ape]

21. I had a dream four nights ago that my town was nuked

It was horrible, and horribly realistic, but it was a dream. I haven't had this type of nightmare since high school, when Ronald Reagan had us all on edge and it seemed like we were always only a few minutes away from doomsday at the hands of the Soviets.

I have come to associate the Republican party with fear and terror mongering. That's all they are about; it's the one gag in their bag of tricks that works for them, every single time.

[damnraddem]

23. We've all earned that sense of foreboding.

Look at all of the really horrible things that HAVE happened in the last 3 years of Dubya.

[Catfish]

24. The bright side of dealing with so many personal problems now

is that big external threats aren't registering with me. I try to concentrate on what I can change on a daily basis and forget the rest for now.

[prolesunited]

25. Read up on how fear is used

as a mind-control technique to subdue the masses — and don't give in.

26. I was jumpy around Thanksgiving and end of Ramdan

Now wish my only child was not flying to LA between Xmas and New Year's to go to the Rose Bowl. I HATE to live in anxiety, but cannot help myself. And now earthquake......

The optimistic cynic in me hopes this latest rise in threat level is to simply add more jobs to make the year end numbers look good.

27. Ever since I saw this painting, back in the 90's

"Millenial Children" by Houston artist Lynn Randolph sat in the back room of a Houston gallery for a long time. I had many opportunities to gaze upon it & wonder what it might portend.

The city in flames is Houston. The face on the Devil's belly is Bush Senior.

Otherwise, I'm doing OK!

[Blade]

29. Nope.

except maybe an attack by Al Quaida (sp???) with WMDs. :eyes:

[amazona]

30. are you on the west coast?

They say that sometimes a sense of foreboding can be caused by earthquakes, especially the small shocks that are not picked up on consciously.

Or is that just an urban legend?

[Jonte_1979]

31. I'm on the east cost of Sweden

Never heard that about earthquakes before. Interesting.
