i have been poking through a lot of material here on PO.com the last few days and boy, there is lots of good stuff here. prep info, and plenty of advanced knowledge of things to come...everything one would need to prepare for a vastly different future. how to eat grubs, how to plant and grow everything under the sun... even the top 100 items that will disappear first. and weapons! lots of info on weapons. this is all very good info.

but i am not interested in it anymore.

i am too old, too comfortable, and too dependant on the matrix to change now. i really like the leisurely pace of my life, as hectic as it can be at times. i like to grow a garden that is beautiful, but not always fruitful or life sustaining. i like my evening glass(es) of wine. i most definately like my soft bed, and waking without up without being stiff and sore except for if i rode my horse a little to long the day before. i adore the internet, i like my blackberry, but i find myself adapting to, and integrating into my life, new technology far less quickly than i once did.

i like grocery shopping...the equivalent of a thanksgiving meal presented everytime i walk through the sliding doors. and sorry, but a short meal of garlic and horseradish does not sound appealing, or does the period of not eating before that would make horseradish taste good.

therefore, i acknowledge that i will likely be winnowed out when the twilight of the god's arrives. i was born into the boom, and i will probably eventually die as it eventually dies....and i am ok with this.

Ah, yes. A Wagnerian score might just be the right music to play as the world unravels.

I forgot to mention, that horseradish is marvelous for the sinuses. It'll make your whole face perk up. You may need some tissues, but it's grand.

I wish you a fun ride and a peaceful passing.

[dinopello]

Lots of good horseradish stuff. I like my cocktail sauce with lots of it. Roasted beef and horseradish, mmmm. Wasabi.

[SinisterBlueCat]

ivan, i do not expect it to be peaceful, or fun....just not argumentative.

but thanks for the wishes nontheless.

Your inner peace is entirely respectable. Good luck with your adventures. Carpe Diem!

There is a restaurant in town with live entertainment. The guy doing all the music (its a one man show) has a line he always says : If you aren't having fun, your not doing it right.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SinisterBlueCat', 'i') have a daughter that will kick your ass!

seriously, she is a 17 year old

[SinisterBlueCat]

i did not mean kick your ass in the traditional sense as in a fight. i meant, if the SHTF scenario should come about, she can likely outlast most of the 101st fighting keyboarders on here.

certainly me that is.

My horseradish bed has over 100 plants, yum. Did you know horseradish leaves are edible? The roots can be cooked like parsnips (the mustard oil evaporated when heated)? That horseradish roots are more nutritious than potatoes?

Yum! Fresh grated horseradish sauce on elk roast. I'll be feasting and listening to the best "Gotterdammerung" >>http://www.amazon.com/Gotterdammerung-Richard-Wagner/dp/B0000042H8<< on my solar powered CD player while petroindustrial civilization crashes.
Bon appetit.

I'm willing to leave outside the Matrix; or as I like to call it the "caged hamster life" (running in circles going nowhere, living in your own waste but being fine with it because there's "free" food)... but there's basically no alternative lifestyles; specially considering that this "global" civilization has a tendency to overgrow other civilizations... it will be nice to be independent from the grid; maybe eating only light... or something

i envy you horseradish eating folks.

but i am curious, what is your long term goal in what you do?
