One reason why I started this blog was to be able to call a spade a spade and not have to worry (at least for now) about censorship…this morning as I got going about the business of taking care of the business of the day I did as I usually do…turned on the news, CNN…and was assaulted by the worst fluff I have seen on CNN in a long, long time…’most noteworthy’ (at least according to CNN) was the coverage of the Casey Anthony hearing (took up hours of their time) and then maybe 30 seconds about the fact that Obama is meeting on the debt crisis…then back to Casey again. Sigh…can I have some real news please? I mean, reality isn’t Casey Anthony and it while it certainly extremely sad that a little girl died (I have 5 kids myself and couldn’t imagine loosing one of them) do we have to cover it ad nauseum when the world is collapsing around us? Oh, that’s right, according to ‘the administration’ that governs our great country we are out of the recession (uh huh..yeah, right maybe the uber rich are but the common man isn’t and infact its getting deeper) and the reality is that our country is beyond repaying its debts (but that isn’t true is it? heck, we will just print more money and presto! we will be okay! wink, wink, nod, nod) so the ‘debt crisis’ meeting today on the Hill is really just to figure out how rework our budget and keep the economy going (as the ship sinks and we borrow more money just to pay the interest we owe)…sigh…yep, Casey Anthony wins hands down, much more important to keep us focused on this rather than an inconvient truth that the housing collapse was just the beginning of the decent into economic hell…give them circuses and let them eat cake…and ignore the pile of crap that is just beginning to spray outwards…yep…much more important…and btw, she gets out next Thursday sigh…the next circus…think I will keep the cable off that day and focus on figuring out how I will be getting out of debt myself…

Well, I am finally getting around to doing something that I have been thinking about for a long, long time. After hanging around several other blog sites for the past year or so I am jumping in…here it goes!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Rev. Laura aka SHFTMom…I am a girl scout at heart and believe in being ready for what ever may come my way, financial down turns, the skinned knee, the car breaking down at the most terrible time and oh, that little thing that seems to be looming closer with each passing day, TEOTWAWKI. Now, before you go thinking that I am some nutso job who thinks the world is going to go to you-know-where in some ball of ash or that a comet is going to put us back into the stone ages, know this…I don’t believe that..but what I do know and believe is that life as we know it now and have for say the past 30 or so years is coming to an end and that what we are facing not only as a country, but as a world is a complete rearrangement on a wholesale level, the kick-off, at least in my own humble opinion will be the final collapse of the economy. So, I am getting ready, wish I could do more and will be sharing on various things as I go along…so…what’s that song by REM? Its the end of the world as we know it…and I feel fine…that is until I broke of the stem of my tomato plant today as I tried to put the cage back into the ground. But its all good…I got 6 more plants! and that is the essence of being prepared to survive no matter what may come.
