Side Effects (Humor)

Being confined to home—except for trips to the grocery store for “necessities”—is changing me. My frugality has evaporated, my prudent buying habits destroyed, my healthy eating falling by the wayside. What’s happening?
No doubt there is a diagnosis, but in simple terms it’s called stir-crazy—and I’ve got it bad.
I’ve made two trips to the supermarket in the past two weeks. I had a shopping list. But as a result of my affliction, I instead roamed the aisles, on occasion unintentionally violating the one-way arrows taped to the floor. I grabbed what I thought we might need, based on what I’m not sure.
On my first trip, I came home with four containers of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream, whipped cream and bananas. What was I thinking? Little of what was on my shopping list was available anyway.
Besides, as I explained to my wife, with the mask on my face, my glasses fogged up, so I wasn’t really sure what I was buying.
On my second trip, trying to fulfill my wife’s craving for chili and finding no ground beef in the meat section, I resorted to buying eight “gourmet” pre-packaged burgers for $20.
Now do you see the extent of my problem? I also left the store with two bags of chips that were on sale and two half-gallons of ice cream (which no longer contain half-gallons), as well as packages of chocolate, rice pudding and two bags of pretzels.

This is a test. Only a test by Dr. Dinar
This is a test. Only a test! How many times have we heard that over the years. And I don't know if I ever really paid any attention to it other than when it was interrupting one of my favorite TV shows.
It wasn't until they began to recirculate the rumors about some type of an EBS "break in" where they'd announce the RV had indeed taken place and it was time to get to your exchange location, like immediately. Grab your dustier than dusty "to go" bag and get to goin'.
That was then, way back when, and now they seem to do the monthly "break-ins" to the crying wolf level, similar to a car alarm wailing away in the distance, no one paying the slightest bit of attention to the disruption. Just a fridge break and back to the couch asap.

Mot: When was the last time you saw a $2.00 bill? I can picture this happening
THE $2.00 BILL I TRIED TO SPEND:
IF YOU'RE AS OLD AS I AM, THIS IS A RIOT!
Everyone should start carrying $2 bills! I'm STILL laughing!!
I think we need to quit saving our $2 bills and bring them out in public. The younger generation doesn't even know they exist!
Reposted per Request: Thank you Dr. Dinar!!!
Enough Talk... Let's See Some Action! by Dr. Dinar
I don't know about you but I'm pretty much done.
To the point where I'm done hearing it's done.
As in everything's done.
Done... duh duh duh DONE!
Like, really done.
Show Me A Sign by Dr. Dinar
3-15-2025
Since the very beginning that's all we've ever wanted. All we've ever asked for. Is a sign, Some kind of a sign to say it's real. To show some kind of progress, no matter how large or small.
Is that too much to ask for? I mean, we've paid our dues. And continue to pay them to this day, even if only in sheer perseverance. Especially those that are members of the various "Members Only" sites that are prevalent all across Dinarland.
Heck, back then we even paid our dues in the form of "Layaways" and "Reserves". Although we were told those programs were both SEC, as well as UST approved, as it turns out that wasn't the case.
From Recaps Archives: Well- here's to all of us who are frustrated, depressed and wondering if we are all idiots for believing in the RV/GCR........Maybe a little humor will help today .
Welcome To The Unknown Zone By Dr. Dinar
How on Earth can we still be here? And by "here", I mean on this journey. This journey to a place no one has ever been. To a destination that doesn't exist on any map. At least not on a map that we can purchase. Certainly not at our pay grade anyway.
Nope. Whatever is (or isn't) going on here, either in front of or behind the scenes, is rated GCRCO (Global Currency Reset Committee Only). Yep, like it or not, the GCR Committee has cranked up the Parental Controls to full on "No Peeking - No Speaking" mode.

Mot: "Just lie down here on the bed," she said
A man decided to bring his wife with him to a large convention in Chicago. After they checked into their hotel and were shown to their room, he told her, "You relax here while I register. I'll be back in about an hour."
His wife lay down on the bed, but just then, an elevated train passed by so close to the window that the room shook violently, tossing her right off the bed. Thinking it was just a fluke, she climbed back into bed, only for the train to pass again, shaking the room so hard that she was thrown to the floor.

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

Mot: Four strangers found themselves traveling together in the same compartment of a European train: two men and two women, all facing one another.
One woman was a 75-year-old lady, wealthy and sophisticated, decked out in the finest furs and jewelry. Next to her sat a beautiful 19-year-old woman, radiating a model-like presence straight out of a fashion magazine. Across from the older lady sat a man in his late forties, a highly decorated Sergeant Major in the Army. And next to the Sergeant Major sat a young private, fresh out of boot camp.
As the four chatted about trivial things during the ride, they suddenly entered an unlit tunnel, plunging the compartment into complete darkness and silence. Then, a distinct kiss broke the quiet, followed by a loud slap that echoed throughout the cabin.

Keep Believin' In The Unbelievable! by Dr. Dinar
Sheesh. They can put a man on the Moon. Or at least we think they can anyway.
Could've been Hollywood magicification for all we know.
Without a doubt the lighting situation was highly suspect.
But let's go ahead and give 'em the benefit of the doubt, just for the sake of discussion.
You Can Bank On It by Dr. Dinar

In the beginning, when the most talked about RV rumors circled around the prices being changed in all the stores in Iraq. When rumors were running rampant of Contractors in the Green Zone(wherever the heck that was) now being paid at the "new rate".
When the infamous "boots on the ground" sources were able to pay for their new shoelaces at the new rate, the one thing that still hit closest to home were the bank stories.
