Open forum has become, the "Dooms Day Prepper" Forum

Anyone else becoming slightly annoyed with the doom and gloom? This thread included.

I'm just hoping I don't wake up in the hospital, missing my Rolex, wearing Spanx and left with nothing but Thousand Island dressing.

I'm not prepared for that.

Political climate, climate change, pandemic and Rolex shortage probably playing a part.

I enjoy the Open Forum (if you can't tell from the threads I've started)...I just choose not to click on the topics that I don't care about. So, no doom / gloom for me!

Your threads are actually the ones I love. Your pictures are amazing, and as someone else once said about your pictures, they are so beautiful I feel like I've already been there without going....

As long as this doesn't affect my ability to drink and buy overpriced watches online I am not worried.

You really don't think he is gone for good eh? Reincarnation can be a wonderful thing.

And the fella in the next bed talking on the phone.




Wondering what's the best way to clean his watch.

Clive Cusslers dead, the stockmarket is way down, serious scientists are falling off the edge of the Earth, we're all trying to avoid getting the 'Flu and some people are trying to eat themselves to death on huge steaks. Where will it all end?
I guess there's a glimmer of hope however as folks are still collecting expensive aftershave, worrying about whether to buy a watch winder or not, where to stay on Grand Cayman and looking for wallets that won't embarrass them.
Hope springs eternal.

I'd probably err on the side of eating horse in this case. I hear Wookiee is chewy.
