I still spell colour with "our", and it's hard to unlearn that.

Don't worry, fccool, just keep spelling colour the same way that you learned to spell -- you are correct. You are spelling it the same way as the British and Australians spell it, so. see -- you are in very good company!!

Lol I went to school in the USA system but we had Brittish Spelling books so I spell like a Brit too..and have to readjust myself all the time..."colour" and other such words are constantly being corrected by my American Friends who say "that is spelled incorrectly". :)

There are always those who will try to trick the elderly into believing a pack of untruths. I tend to be skeptical of the nay sayers that say the sky is falling of the economy is failing and to buy gold from them etc. Yeah right. I tend to wait and see what happens.

Guess what happened to the Jews in Jerusalem, who did not believe that "the sky is falling". They ended up dying of starvation and resorted to eating their children. It was horrible. I believe that what's coming will likewise be horrible.

If you wait, then it will be too late if the sky does come down. You don't have to do much to prepare. Back in the days, preparing for the winter was common sense. You canned food and etc. Today this is considered paranoid. Either way, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The worst thing that can happen is for your food to increase in value as the food prices rise. Think about it... if you keep the money in the bank, you get 4% gain if you are lucky and 5.37% inflation rate, once again... if you are lucky. You loose money :). If you do invest it in food (or gold)... you will gain simply by not letting your assets devaluate.

We need the k's in knife and knight and the same word "read" to be pronounced "red" and "read" depending on context so that we can tell when the Russians are typing or speaking vs the 'aenglish!

Likewise, if the government has any doubt that someone is a foreign spy, they give them American History test. If they pass... it's most likely that they are spies. :)

This past two weeks' events just show how quickly our money can become worthless.

Evidently the Lord has further work for each of us to do with our money, since today the House of Representatives voted to approve the $700B bailout plan.

Now we'll see what can be done with all that money [and we'll begin to see our taxes rising in order to pay for it].

The economic ship of state is tipping precariously. We know its balance will soon be lost. Makes me feel I should be investing more of my funds into the Lord's work, rather than in my own savings account.
