Did I ever say the world would ever implode? I would like to see those posts.
And what, exactly, have I said that you consider paranoid? [/quote]
I think your post above (and pasted below) classifies as one in which – in so many words – you’re clearly expecting the world to implode. I think it also qualifies as paranoid (get those wisdom teeth removed because there might not be any dentists available for dental work soon!).
So, ironically, you answered your own questions one post later:
“Aecetia: do you have a ham radio? I just got one, and I think it will be a very handy thing to have to keep in touch if there are ever any grid problems. As for health care…that has been a concern of mine for the past couple of years. I have been advising friends and family to have any critical health care needs (surgeries, out patient procedures, dental work, etc) taken care of now while the medical and insurance infrastructure is still intact. I have been working out more, too, and trying to focus on building up my health and stamina for the long term. I am preparing for a world without safety nets. I think it is imperative to “get strong to go long”.”
