Hi ATS,
Prepared+Paranoid = preparanoid and that = ME! =)
I'm preparedness minded, former military, outside the box thinking, proudly homeschooling Mom.
In my neck of the woods (the Beautiful Ozarks, US of A) that makes me 'nutty'. I'm tickled to have found ATS. Here....it makes me... normal... How cool is that?? =)
I have a wonderful organic garden this year. My thinking... learn to grow your food before stores run out in an emergency. I'm really enjoying the Survival Forum. I also see kids today being taught things in the public school system that disturb me, so the education related topics and forums are wonderful reading for me. I also think the 'education' of most adults by the MSM is, well.... Not! I already am finding on ATS news stories, serious stories, that never see the light of mainstream news except for one or two small local stories that ATS readers have caught and posted here. Thanks to yall who catch those stories and post them here to help the rest of us be aware. I, for one, really appreciate the effort.
Ok,
At this point I've revealed more about myself than I ever do IRL. LOL! IRL people would be backing away slowly going, "Well, allllrighty then..." However, I'm thinking that here, at ATS, it'll be OK. =)
gb,

Welcome to the madhouse.
We're all "crazy" here. Except the REALLY crazy ones. (They think they're normal:lol

I'm sure you'll have a great time here.

Welcome
Nothing wrong with being prepared. Let's be honest are you really paranoid if the things you suspect are true?

Have fun.

For "News of the day" I use drudgereport.com and another forum goldismoney.info

I'm preparanoid as well...

Besides, the good thing about Paranoia is that you only have to right once...

That's also the problem with paranoia...

Welcome to ATS, glad to have you.
