Well if it is - PLEASE let me get my trip in before it happens - thankyou very much!

Dbil has been reading websites like that for years - he`s always full of financial doom and gloom.

In Feb 2009 the solution will be rolled out: merger of Canada, USA and Mexico to form the North American Union, with a new currency, called the Amero to be launched."

Who comes up with this stuff???

Oh! ok! Hehehe! Martial Law--- oh boy!

Having experienced (what I'm told) is mild OCD. I feel sorry for your husband, because it's so hard to get past the things that you're worried about. I hope he can find a way to get past this--- I've learned life is so much better when you can relax and enjoy it rather than worry about everything! Kudos to you for putting up with it!

Oh, and so did the Disciples, and about every generation of humans since the beginning of time.
Maybe you could point that out to your DH?

I guess this is where faith comes in. Its okay to prepare for the future but to let it rule our lives and be totally focused on what may happen can ruin you emotionally.

Poor Dawn,
Do you think that its maybe a good thing Jericho was cancelled now. Lord that would really send him into orbit. Just smile and tell him, the end is near so why dont you go chop wood that will last us for a year or so that way we will have heat and someway to cook.
Not a solution, but at least it will keep him out of the house and out of your hair!!!!
Please dont take this the wrong way, Im not laughing at you honey, just with you!!!
You have to laugh or you'll go insane.

You got that right! I was at the Jericho statement...I just saw it at Blockbuster yesterday and thought, "Whew! That could have been really bad if it had gone on!"

The problem is that he's not very good at finding work to start with and the more he's getting into all of this doomsday stuff, he's trying even less. Right now, he has less than 10 days of work lined up. When those are done, who knows what's next, but it doesn't matter b/c the economy is just going to crash anyway. My response to that is, "Well, just for argument's sake...let's say it ISN'T and then what are we going to do?" Insane is a very short drive for me...

I'm not minimizing your frustration or concerns about your husband- but there are many people who are having trouble finidng construction work who are trying very hard- and the economy may not collapse to the extent that your husband believes but I do think things are pretty grim for alot of people. I make calls to do case management and the # of disconnected phones, people who cant afford their meds, or healhty food is alarming.The company I work for has laid off 4,000 people-
Frankly, I am surprised that you are making any $$ on your shows- scrapping, stamping is a luxory and I am surprised people have the discretionary income to spend on it.
