BIGGEST THREAD in RIU History

[Twistyman]

internet is not free...I have several friends that have been laid off and they have dropped their internet service and cellphones........

For once, being on a disability is not a bad thing.. I got an increase on the 1st of Jan... my benefit went up almost 40% last spring and it stays the same or higher so I guess I'm pretty safe on the income side, but the buying side is getting mighty pricey....... I don't know if its the same in the US but here laundry det. has almost double since last year..anything with any grain/wheat is up.... now they say that even pet food may increase as much as 50-100%... I still have wiggle room on my internet and TV..I can drop hi-speed and some channels and save about $40. but no need so far.....

Funny you should point it out Twisty, I've noticed dog food prices ascending rapidly. I don't know if they attribute it to the grains all being used for food and biodiesel or what... but I'm guessing my girls won't be portly for long.

I'm glad to hear you have some isolation from the vagaries of the economy, but I don't think anyone truly feels "safe" right now. Hell, even if you've got piles of cash laying around (not one of my problems, rest assured) who's to say even it will be worth anything?

Ummmm...

Officially off my soapbox, sorry.

It was all almost a moot point......
Phew! Asteroid's passing was a cosmic near-miss

PASADENA, Calif. — An asteroid about the size of one that blasted Siberia a century ago just buzzed by Earth.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reported that the asteroid zoomed past Monday morning.
The asteroid named 2009 DD45 was about 78,000 kilometres from Earth.
That is just twice the height of some telecommunications satellites and about a fifth of the distance to the Moon.
The space ball measured between 21 metres and 47 metres in diameter.
The Planetary Society said that made it the same size as an asteroid that exploded over Siberia in 1908 and levelled more than 2,000 square kilometres of forest.
Most people probably didn’t notice the cosmic close call.
The asteroid was only spotted two days ago and at its closest point passed over the Pacific Ocean near Tahiti.
