In Modern Mayberry, Wal-Mart is the big store - but Wal-Mart here isn't bad - it doesn't carry the smell of desperation that you see in, say, Houston. It's a bright, pleasant place where I recognize the teller because I've been going there 10 years. <br /><br />Haven't been there in weeks.

Chrome probably doesn’t work because they may have discontinued, and no longer support the older versions, but Firefox still offers the older versions for XP. As far as Outlook goes, that too is a Microsoft product, and I don’t use mail clients, so unfortunately I do not have any advice for you there. But I’m sure that you can download a 3rd party version for free somewhere.<br /><br />You will have to download the Firefox .exe on a different PC, and transfer it to your xp model, but it won’t cost you anything to try it. <br /><br />https://rocketfiles.com/windows/browsers/web-browsers/mozilla-firefox/versionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-84382162286460335512019-09-16T14:43:26.068-07:002019-09-16T14:43:26.068-07:00I wasted a big chunk with toxic women, also.

For everybody, and it shows the breadth of the delusion created in all of us.<br /><br />Briefly, my story is similar as I too was brainwashed into believing I will always be dependent upon others for my direct benefit. I worked for the "man" for 16 years, at 33 different horrifying "jobs" before someone took the time to show me another way - a way to "work for myself" and cut out all the middle men. That day of enlightenment for me was almost 33 years ago, when I was 31 years old. 1986.<br /><br />By about 1990 I was no longer capable of working as an employee and though it took longer to realize, I was also not capable of being around other people for more than an hour or so. This has also made me intolerable to any sort of coercion or authority. I mean, really, who has the gall to tell another person how to live any facet of their life? <br /><br />Anyway, even though you wasted a big chunk of the only life you'll ever own on endeavors not of your own choosing I bet you are glad you finally made the decision you did. My greatest regret is that I didn't get the word on self employment sooner. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-82563456380863248662019-09-16T13:26:12.025-07:002019-09-16T13:26:12.025-07:00How are you getting online with XP, which browser ...How are you getting online with XP, which browser are you using? <br /><br />My go-to machine is an XP and I have purchased several so that I can continue to use my 15 year old AutoCAD software and some other business software. About 2 years ago my Chrome software stopped working and about a year before that my Outlook Express stopped. So I bought a Win10 machine just to get online. Win10 is horrifying all the way around. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31847601572989855392019-09-16T12:20:24.308-07:002019-09-16T12:20:24.308-07:00I can't really see a general strike happening....I can't really see a general strike happening. Remember, half the population is actively hostile to Deplorables. I still think just walking away, such as with Gillette. It kinda sorta already works with movie tickets. Would Mel Gibson have made a comeback otherwise? Not saying it will kill any company, all the time. It is punitive rather than instructional.

Whereas folks organize a period of no patronage of offending businesses, maybe street theatre sidewalk protests, even if using liqour bribed park bums for numbers. When the business is a ghost town and they bleed costs without revenue, notice may be taken then. just saying.

It won't help you survive the initial die-off. Far too many warm bodies against you. So, all the goodies for years of survival on your own, but lots of ammo JUST for the first fighting and a bottle of whiskey both to celebrate being correct and dull the pain of the last hours. Don't ask a barber if you need a haircut. Your cousin can ONLY believe in the system that enriches him.

More, perhaps, a site to get aware of the new reality. It serves value. I'm just not sure how much after you are well aware of what needs to be done.

Before and after his wife passed away with a heart-lung disease that required her to wear a drip pack stocked with Viagra, he owed plenty to the doctors and hospitals. Cost him everything he was earning in addition to insurance. Meanwhile, state law required that Mexican employees who pushed a broom got paid more than $50/hour and some made $90,000 per yer with six kids and a wife who took the kids for free medical care at the emergency room. He paid, the Mexicans didn't. He injured himself and sat in an ER for hours while the freeloaders all got treated but finally gave up and left, leaving his large copay with the hospital. <br /><br />And if I write more about this and express any thought whatsoever about fixing The Problem, I will get a 5:00 am knock on my door. Yeah, Jim, you're right and I've been bookmarking and reading about a dozen prepper sites, cursing myself for not doing anything for all of these years. BTW, what do you call sites like the Z Blog, or The Burning Platform?

By only buying the necessary items or replenishing basic consumables, and avoiding (a default boycott of many other items) spending any other discretionary funds there will knee cap that business over time and in total. There is still enough mouth breathing zombies that will still continue to shop and consume up until the lights are out to keep the goliath corporations afloat. The snap disbursements and all other forms of .gov/systems regular payments to citizens will fuel the perpetual uber shopper paradigm. Have alternate shop or supply sourcing plotted out on those neighborhood and A.O. maps you already prepared and on file in your headquarters. Shucks, any flavor of incidents can close that shopper option down short or long term anyway.

The middle class schmucks or the prepper?<br /><br />Like I've been saying, my middle class family and friends all IGNORE what is happening politically and live for today and in the process they are leaving themselves open to not being able to live at all tomorrow. We have almost reached the point where the middle class says that the government will take care of us, just like FDR did through his emergency measures, just like Uncle Sam did when it bailed out the banks last time. My uber wealthy cousin in law stockbroker told me thirty or so years ago that I could depend on the financial stability of the U.S. for the duration of my lifetime, but in '08 he said that he sided with the bank bailout because there was no other way to avoid a world wide economic crisis of devastating proportions. Back then he was managing between 100 and 200 million. <br /><br />All of this means one thing to me, the best option may simply be to die in a pile of hot brass. Don't know who to credit for that phraseology. <br /><br />Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04141804481453083170noreply@blogger.com
