I dedicate this post to all my friends at GSUS and specially to my buddy Agnut.......I can only hope that all of us will still be able to post at the end of 2012 as we are doing now......to the owner and moderators of this site THANK YOU.

[Dogman]

[zap]

He's still iridium.

[Buddha]

Well, that was done with some class.

I don't think that he typed that post, the dog must have done it ;)

[General of Darkness]

I was going to thank you but you mentioned Agnut, he doesn't even post here. However he should, so I'll just say, thank you for a lot of your wisdom.

I do think you should be given the title of Wise old Fucker. I like it, and it has a nice ring to it.

[madfranks]

Glad you're here Ponce.

[Sparky]

Here's to the next 10,000.

I've met Kaye, she's awesome. She always seems to see the best in people. Just my observation.

Dunno why, but she reminds of this song.

Thanks for the kind words. I have never heard that song, but after reading the lyrics, I am not sure whether to be flattered or insulted. (Such is the way of General of Darkness) :).

[Neuro]

He's still iridium.

According to Gaillo 10.057 posts could be the switch point...Mysterious is the lords way...

Well done Ponce, we love you!

[Ponce]

You welcome but didn't expected my 10,000 thread to become a love story between those two.......oh well, at least I am good for something LOL.

Agnut still posts here. It's just not very often.

[Ponce]

First post of the day.............good morning to one and all.

Thanks for the update on Agnut, I've been wondering how he's been. Tell him madfranks says hi.

[Horn]

New pair a shoes to go the distance? :cool:

[Serpo]

10000 posts is really a big effort,well done Ponce

[Ponce]

Will do Franks.......

Serpo? when you are single and with no kids and retired it is then easy to do.......I really never look at the ammount, or numbers, of posting that I do but rather I look at the "quality" and interest that those here have on them.

[Libertytree]

10K is like 5K when 50% of the time you're responding to yourself....just sayin'.

[po boy]

10K is like 5K when 50% of the time you're responding to yourself....just sayin'.

Knock off another 3k for the same story posted that already made it to page 2. lol

[BrewTech]

Well, he is keeping the forum populated with topics that aren't about farting or taking a shit, so that's good.

Liberty........if that is the way that it looks is only because people like you write something that I cannot let go off.

[Large Sarge]

well Ponce,

I have known you a bunch of years, I remember when you got banned at the old site, it was a dark day, a foreshadowing of events to come for all of us..

I still appreciate your contributions, your humor, and your point of view.

so, hope you give us another 10 or 20 thousand more threads, and may your toilet paper never run out.

warm regards,
your friend,
Sarge

[willie pete]

good job wajido......I think...::)

[horseshoe3]

You know what I like most about Ponce? You can tease him and he takes it all in good humour. It's a good thing too, because he gives us plenty of opportunities.

[agnut]

Hi all. Its been so busy here with getting ready for winter as well as catching up on new equipment like the two 3000 gallon water storage tanks and the 24 battery backup system. Still moving loads of things out into the barn; things I bought at garage sales and estate sales in the last few months.

I did manage to write an about 3 pager in response to Mneagle’s question regarding PM diversification. It is at the gold, silver and precious metals section.

I’m so glad to see Ponce posting here again; he searches the worldwide web for articles that we may not otherwise see. I see us as a sort of family here, sharing our knowledge and experiences and caring for each other. I consider myself to be most fortunate since I talk to Ponce almost every day. We share news , opinions and jokes and sometimes are on the phone for over 2 hours. I know, it may sound crazy but this works for us. Ponce is a wealth of information as well as providing an alternate viewpoint on so many subjects. If I had never gotten to know Ponce I would not be as prepared or aware for the future. Face it; the future is a crapshoot. All we can doin prepping is to increase our odds of getting through what is to come. Hopefully with as little as possible disruption to our lives and those we know and love.

Best wishes, especially to you Ponce,

Agnut

P.S. Times are changing. This afternoon my son and I went to pick up the fruits and vegetables and there was only 2 boxes (we normally get 10-16 boxes. And one of the two boxes was filled with persimmons ! So I’m even more of a sour puss about it.

People are actually coming into the store and going behind the back storage doors and picking up boxes of fruits and veggies. So no wonder why we are seeing less on our pick up runs.

Something to think about when folks lately are getting creative in their desperation to feed themselves. A sign of the process in action.

There has been much talk about a fiat dollar collapse and what it would look like out there in the public mainstream. One of our goals should be to NOT have to be out there at that time. If black Friday is always a zoo, imagine what it would be like with a food “black Friday”. Americans have never experienced this and have nothing to relate to so it will be chaotic and dangerous. Not everywhere and not with equal intensity; you will have to size up your own area. We are planning to shut the gate for a while until things cool down. Could be a couple of weeks or a couple of months; maybe longer and that is where we may have to go out for some necessities. Will there be electric bills, phone bills, cable bills ? Depends. And maybe a case of Depends would be a good idea. Ponce, what do you think ?

[Ponce]

Yeap, you better stock on Depends.....me? doing good.

Hey people, you asked for Agnut and here he is telling how to make a clock.....heheheheheheh.

Hey buddy? I told you what was going to happen to your "contract" of fruits and vegetables......and this is only the start.

PS: I don't stock on Depends but do have about 500 Tampex, Kotex and other names that I cannot even phantom...the lucky lady that moves in with me will have it made in the shade.

[zap]

LOL Ponce, love your use of english ! No offense it makes me laugh. phantom, fathom?

[Ponce]

Well, at least you guys understand my Spanglish........hahahahahahahah.......is like with Agnut, when I talk to him he understand me clear as a bell, hes the only gringo that can do that.
