Agent Orange Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In the time of doom and gloom, when you are never too far from the scare mongerers or doom merchants, don't you think it's time we (the people) concentrated on the little things that we take for granted in life. You never know, it might makes us realise we don't need the material things to make us happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've just been laughing my head off at my dog going nuts. Didn't cost a penny and he'll still be as daft if Greece goes belly up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've just been laughing my head off at my dog going nuts. Didn't cost a penny and he'll still be as daft if Greece goes belly up Simple little things. I think people forget how to let go and see humour in those silly little moments.

Vague_Boy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In the time of doom and gloom, when you are never too far from the scare mongerers or doom merchants A couple of questions. 1. Do you think that everything is really all right with the global economy, despite the crisis now being in its 4th year? 2. Would you rather just not know what's going on? Personally knowing what's going on in advance has helped me take important precautions regarding my finances. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Besides, it's kind of impossible to ignore given the magnitude of the poo we are in. However, it's nice to put things into perspective. Life's too short... what will be, will be.

wornout53 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My mum used to say that some people are only happy when they're miserable. Me.....I can't go around being miserable because every day there is something that makes me smile..something that makes me feel glad to be alive.
