Suggestion for tomorrow, skip it.
Don't turn on the TV, don't jump on the business news, don't watch the train wreck that is going to be our open market tomorrow. We all know what's going to happen, so why obsess over it? Instead, go outside and work in the garden, get together with friends or family, watch a movie, read a good book. Seriously, do this all day and then go see how big the crater is tomorrow evening.

The world is not going to come busting apart at the seams tomorrow, and there is no use in people getting all stressed out about it, it's going to be what it's going to be. So instead, in the midst of all this bad news, take a break, give it a rest, recharge your batteries, look after yourself. Because the duration of this mess is going to be long and the road dark, and you're going to need to be in it for the long haul.

Peace:hi:

1. Oh I need to go to the doctor,
and then cook...

We also have a little issue with the plumbing... so I will be busy, as it were.

Thinking steak and potatoes tomorrow

2. I know telling me to NOT be stressed
over something I wasn't stressed over in the first place makes ME feel better.

So if I tell you to be stressed about being told not to be stressed over something your weren't stressed about in the first place that would make you feel how:shrug::evilgrin:

13. LMAO
I'd stress over your sentence if I could make a bit of sense out of how I should feel about it :D.

I was right on the poll, BTW. I chose below 500, and unfortunately, I was right with the size of the crater. I know a dead cat bounce when I see one.

7. Well hey, some people thrive on stress I guess,
Or perhaps it is something more personal, after all, I'm not the kindest person towards Dems and the President, and old reflexes die hard.

But hey, thanks for the rec, I appreciate it.

8. But if your poor, broke, homeless and bankrupt,...
it might be some fun schadenfreude.

11. As usual, I'll try to stay away but morbid curiousity becomes too strong.
