How do you plan to survive the upcoming Depression?
I plan to Croft in my urban yard. The neighbors may frown on the goats but i'll never have to mow again.

6. Why stand in line when you can cook stone soup and sell it to the wealthy?
Turn about is fair play, I must say....

4. Get a taste for Ramen...
...and beans, I guess. Well, look at the upside: I will finally lose that weight I've been wanting to lose.

9. If I can get a couple marijuana seeds, I'm sure I will survive it
just fine...except when I get teh munchies. I still haven't figured that part out yet. I may have to move next to one of you who has a garden and maybe a cow or two...but no guns. :evilgrin:

19. I don't intend to surive it; I'll be one of the first to go under
I am up to my ears in debt, just lept from one job to another at a huge pay cut to get away from the sick building syndrome (although I think I was there too long to get well now), I own nothing, but a cat, a bunkbed and a computer . . . . oh, a bunch of 'stuff' --- 'they SAY' get out of debt now, pay it off, pay it down, whatever you do don't be in debt . . . . I seem to have wove a web I can't leap out of here.

Luckily I don't have any kids.

I'm looking for the humor in this, but I don't have to freak out about it. One day at a time. I am going to have to plunge into this learning about what's important and what isn't as I go. One big life lesson coming up.

21. I've already become quite a hermit And that started with the price or
gas. I also realized that every time I go out I buy some thug or some things.

So you could say I am hunkered down for the coming storm
