Whoops! I blinked & it's over.

Federal reserve---says to have $500.00 on hand (just in case)

John Kossiksten (hahahha BAD spelling) says planes will not fall from the sky, although you may not want to travel to third world/underdeveloped countries where the air traffic control may fail. This is the BEST PART: He says that the Gov. is fine except for a FEW agencies...now get this, they include, Energy, Transportation and Defense...but it's no problem. ROTFLMAO! yah, no problem.

Store a little bit of food just in case---don't stockpile.

That felt good, I needed a good laugh.

BTW--doesn't this contradict most other media reports that Defense is a.o.k.?

Wowie! Those government agencies musta gone to a private tutor to bring their GAO report card grades up so fast....If I remember correctly most of them were in the C through F range not that many months ago.

Semantics Donna.

Many times PBS has transcripts of a show depending on who did it. You can search the site over at:

Drat! I failed at sarcasm again. I hate when that happens. :-)

Anyone know the exact name of the PS show? This helps when searching for transcripts.

Thanks!

Donna -- one of the facts of life is that imagination and curiosity are not equitably distributed. I still blunder in this respect, and I've been at it for a long time.

Tom,

Does that make us all part of "Y2K Blunderers Anonymous?"

Hi, Donna!!!

FM,

I'm not sure what the name of the show was. (sorry, hubby was channel surfing y2k caught his attention) My TV guide says Religion & Ethics Newsweekly was on at that time.

Best I can do,
