Re: Another thing to worry about- To

Ok... LOL... don't tell me that because I will stock up for about 6 months and

plan for a disaster. I tend to over react now... don't push the panic buttons

over here. LOL.

I read some things about the rice shortage stuff and it was not as scary as all

I was hearing. I guess the key is to take one day at a time with life and with

the fibro beast.

That sounds like a 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse scenario:

Famine

A loaf of bread for a days wages.

Rice is traditionally a main staple in the diet of areas like China

and I can see where factors like mass over population, and the current

climate change would affect their main staple - rice.

I don't see the rice shortage affecting the United States mainly

because it is not consumed at the levels in other parts of the planet.

I had a conversation over the phone with my personal mentor about the

panicky rice shortage.

If I understood correctly, children were the first to pick up on the

information, then adults.

If children first said something, the information may have come out of

the school system or playground rumor mill.

If the shortage is fact in the adult world, has anyone seen a news

story on one of the major networks?
