BTW- by the way

IMHO- in my humble opinion

TPTB- the powers that be

IOW- in other words

TEOTWAWKI- the end of the world as we know it (doesn't mean the literal end of the world, just "as we know it.")

TEOTWAWKI- the end of the world as we know it (doesn't mean the literal end of the world, just "as we know it.")

Could mean a bad recession or a depression, or something much worse. From my point of view, having my company go out of business and having to look for another job would be the end of "my" world.

(G) grin

(BG) big grin

(BEG) Big evil grin

Polly Someone who is so convinced or who has so much invested emotionally in the present system that they gloss over or ignore the available evidence on impending troubles.

Doomer Someone who is so completely sure that the Y2K rollover is going to be so bad (that we are going to see a breakdown in civil government authority) that they tend to gloww over possible good news.

Troll Someone who seems to post primarily for the purpose of distracting folks from serious discussions.

TSHTF --the "stuff" hits the fan.....

-- Superlurker (Slfsl@yahoo.com), July 19, 1999.

So Allene when TSHTF do you think it will be a BITR or TEOTWAWKI? G

Are you a GI, DGI, or a DWGI? BG

IOW, are you a POLLY or DOOMER? BEG

BTW, IMHO the last thing TPTB need on this forum is another TROLL. ROTFLMBO

LOL :^)
