So should I be panning for gold right now?

Pretty soon We can all make popcorn before the nightly news!

Panning is hard work, much easier to simply buy metals. But there is an intrinsic reward when you pan a few flakes from mother nature. Nightly news is pretty weak, always behind the curve of events and way too selective in topics.

Eating a bit of lunch (leftover homemade baked mac & cheese) before I hop in the shower. 5K training went well this morning. Ran for 16 minutes straight! :D Before that, the most I did was 8 min straight so I'm definitely improving.

You're doing great !! Gotta luv teh Endorphin high :D

Watching the markets tank on the genius plans to hit Iran, covert action to topple another government, Pakistan is festering with a leadership crisis, Afghanistan is a lost cause, oil is heading to 170-200, and gold is going to 1300 by year's end, Kuwait is drafting contingency plans for closure of the Hormuz straits, Iraq renegged on the no bid contracts to US oil companies. Oh, and inflation is just getting started. Those cut taxes and borrow policies sure are working great. Thanks for the unfolding nightmare. Whatever happened to the brilliant color coded terror alert Faux Noise Channel was so fond of? Maybe they'll dust that off and bring it back for entertainment value. Yeah, it's quite a theater of the absurd these days. On the bright side, great weather in the midatlantic today.

Got any GOOD Newz Moe ???

I agree BTW with your basic analysis-- Bennie and teh Feds are puppets and have continued to Reward Bad Behavior and support the emporor has no clothes theory -- The cretins in charge sold us down the tubes ----- sorry just callin 'em as i see 'em .


Frankly i too saw this coming quite some time ago so i've been aggressively DEFENSIVE for several years now and made further moves in Feb to get out of the BS .Corpus is strong enough to take lowered risk profile -----------------and have been BUYING back in at much lower prices as we go -- But sleeping VERY well at nite


WE need serious change

I did give the weather a thumbs up. Good news? Oil isn't 150/bbl and we haven't rained democracy bombs on Iran today. That's it. :(

Tough one!!! Good luck with that!

I was on a scavenger hunt of sorts. Looking once again for the 2 necklaces I hid a little over a year ago when I went to the hospital to have my son. Stupid me thought it was a good idea to hide them in an unlikely place (because the landlord's handyman was supposed to come fix stuff while I was away and I don't trust him). Well, it was so unlikely of a place that I still can't find them. :cry:

Drinking coffee, waiting for oil inventory numbers, decided that I need to buy tile for the deck table top. My cheapness was trumped by my sense of taste. Using leftover bathroom floor and wall tile had some merit, but very little in hindsight. Another nice day here weatherwise.

Went grocery shopping, ate an awesome salad I made (field greens, vine-ripened tomato, Gala apple, chopped cheddar, pecans, and a little Asian Aura dressing), fed the kids and got the youngest to lie down and take a nap in his new favorite spot (Daddy's Lazyboy :D). Still need to wash laundry and dishes. Ugh.

Just sitting here with the heating pad and a margarita. Back isn't getting any better, but I have found that internal applications of alcohol seem to help.
