I smell spam.

That or you really haven't been here long...

But just in case, welcome! Stay out of the Open Discussion thread unless you have a thick skin...

"pamelaworkoutgirl"? That's rich! After PO they'll look back with amazement that we expended human energy for no purpose. Almost as much as a whole industry devoted to not eating too much.

Assuming this isn't spam, I moved it to the Welcome forum.

This is spam. Look at the link. It is OBVIOUSLY spam.

Welcome. They look foward to studying you.

Hi Jerry.

Lots to learn around here or perhaps unlearn is a better description.

Anyway, check back in if you need directions.

I always read this site first thing each morning, so I figure I should start posting/asking questions. I live in Atlanta, one of the most automobile-dominated cities in the U.S., so the Peak Oil fallout should prove to be challenging... if the drought doesn't get us first. This is just a hello/first post.

Hello Forester!

I'm curious about what's happening in Atlanta with the drought situation. What's the news??

[Twilight]

Welcome.

Questions are most certainly welcome here.

Beware the trolls, for they are legion.

Welcome!

You can discuss anything here and get some pretty interesting and diverse points of view.

If it's any consolation, at least the Southeast is expected to get above-normal rainfall over the next couple of weeks.

It'll take at least several months of above-normal rainfall to really alleviate things, though.

This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for awhile. I just wanted to send a big "thanks" to everyone that posts here. The information has been very helpful to me in learning and thinking about those what ifs of peak oil and other economic, social, and financial issues. I talked to some of the people on TeamSpeak a few weeks ago and it was a very good talk.

I'm not really a doomer, but based on what I've learned over the last year, I felt I had a responsibility to myself and my family to become better prepared. I started stocking up on food, goods, and tools. I sat down and thought about where I could go and what I could do if TSHTF. I bought a shotgun and took an NRA class on proper usage. I paid off all my non-mortgage debt and then started thinking of ways to get out from under my depreciating shit box. The information I've read here has been helpful and I'm a more well rounded person because of it. Kudos to you.
