@Sharon: Oh yes a mangle…owned one and used one in 1979/80 on Molokai…somehow my parents found one for us…I was married at the time, living in a jungle coffee shack half mile up Wailua Valley….we had a propane gas hot water heater too that we washed all the tie dyed diapers,dishes and tub too…water was gravity fed from the river upstream….oh the good ol’ days…yes Sharon life was a lot simpler once upon a time…glad you are focused on yoga DVDs…..currently listening to Max discuss the Chinese put….I feel I’ve been massaged into finally coming to terms that the fiat currency is on the wane( g-d bless G. Edwin Griffin and his expose on the FED)…and Max is perfectly spot on….it’s the speculators v. the savers….so I am preparing and investing in silver Lakota rounds…& readying to move to the 2 wooded acres up country…

@Richard…………re: 09/09/09.

Talking about the internet there have been lots of postings in anticipation of this day. People assume that because the last biggest attack took place on 9/11 (emergency number for the US) the next biggest attack in the UK will be on 9/9/09 (999 is the emergency number for the UK). I’m not worried, too many premonitions never come true.

@Richard……..thank you for your words of wisdom, though you failed on the definition of a mangle, tis not a wash board, it is a device with 2 big rollers next to each other through which an article of clothing is placed and then a handle is turned so that the rollers turn round pulling the article of clothing through and squeezing out the excess liquid (I remember using my grandmothers as a child – she had a twin tub washer/spinner so didn’t need it anymore but it sat in the garden where I played with it as a child). Anyway, you are difinitely right about the information overload and my brother has already given me some dvd’s in order that I take up yoga – I will do. Btw, sorry for assuming you didn’t like the word “kids” – I must have misinterpreted one of your previous posts (I’m good at that).

@Dedo……….I didn’t expect anything less from you quite frankly.

@Dedo – I really wish you hadn’t mentioned pink elephants . . . now everyone knows.

@buddhabob – Max lived in Harlem for a few years in the late seventies/early eighties, well before Bill moved in; so once a Harlemite, always a Harlemite and so he sees Superfly everywhere. But I will tell him that you had mentioned Superfly! Let’s see what he says about that in this weekend’s Truth About Markets.

@Sharon: “…good morning Morgantown…”…there that should satisfy both you and Phil( the Joni Mitchell admirer)…once again you are experiencing too much electronic media overload….back away from the telly……If you like I’ll send you either an adults or kids version of my daughter’s Yoga DVDs…breath….the folks behind the curtain are still there….the positive MSM statements of economic prosperity will continue…remember my bud Dano once asked me as we drove along the only road on Molokai in 1979: “do you think the government will let us know if a depression begins?” Well sweetie the greatest depression ( see Gerald Celente) is well under way…hold on to your knickers and your gardening spade…

Good day Max: It appears that the G-2, G-8 and G-20 nations are stalling the fiat currency collapse by supporting yet another fiat currency: the SDR….as you so eloquently pointed this out so many moons ago…I wonder if the fiscal government debt to GDP ratio can be tolerated for each country as it nears 200% as is the case with Japan…with the Chinese imminent offering of sovereign bonds denominated in their own currency in the near future to foreigners, can the demise of the SDR be already in the mix? Even as the Chinese purchase $50 billion in IMF bonds…???? I have just purchased 100 silver ounces..wish my puny economic status could afford 100 gold ones instead….I am content…So Max will the bond rating agencies be coerced into permitting countries to approach and surpass the 200% ration I mentioned without readjusting the AAA rating?????
