Downstairs this mornin’, germinatin’ plant seeds, frettin’ quietly about this melt-down goin’ around, how it gon affect we the people in Guyana, who gon buy me craft, and so on and so forth and to and fro.
Kah-ching. Money, it’s a hit…thank you Pink Floyd, as if I never know that.
Mother in the laundry room, washin’ machine goin’, Ah-wekeh wekeh wekeh wekeh…
Walkin’ past, small shovel in me hand, dirt in me nails, oh man, get that washin’ machine riddim, Ah-wekeh wekeh wekeh wekeh…ah know ah heard it somewhere before…ah wekeh wekeh wekeh weh…yeah, yeah, John Lee Hooker…Shake it baby…
Y’know what, for now, this minute, ain’t goin’ to let them woes spread all over me head, down to me toes, freezing me with fear…
Shake it baby, wooooahhh yeah…

for some reason, the wekeh-wekeh sound of your washing machine reminds me of djs turntable-mixing. i feel like hearing some hip-hop now...
Here's to living to the beat of the washing machine.
It's not that scratchy turntable mixing sound, Cadiz, it's more a boogie beat. Try some John Lee Hooker, man, he's coooooool.
Shrimpy, that washing machine's got groove!
Need to ship your washing machine to wall street GG, maybe take those traders minds off buying and selling us into panic.
Oh my goodness I thought I read 'Mother in laundry room washin' machine gun.'
I'm with you GG- we just gotta sit tight!
Plan for the future, but while you're at it, plan for the other future too. The one where future number one isn't going to happen... and then after you're done planning that... plan just to take things as they come 'one day at a time'. My grandsons probably lost most of their collage funds this week, ten years of saving, planning and working for their futures. It makes you hope the greedy rich, who had more than enough, but wanted more, stew in their own broth.:)))
I worry more about how people in other countries, that have just barely enough to survive, are going to live if things are getting even bleaker?
I don't think it's that bad, but that's probably because I am low profile - haven't lost savings, retirement funds, investments, a mortgage; I don't have debts, or a job in finance...
But I am sure there are long term trickle down effects that we regular folks have yet to see.
Now's a good time to plant some gungu peas, tomatoes and irish potatoes out back. If things get really bad they'll come in handy, and if things don't get so bad, they'll be just as handy. All the while with the soundtrack on. Wekeh, wekeh...
GG,shake that ass to the music gal!
Don't worry GG, I reckon your seeds will grow whatever the market does.
Ah, GG, I love your laid-back approach. Just chill to the music, yeah baby!
Mr. Farty, I'm trying not to worry otherwise I'd get into a really mean dark-blue mood, not good, eh?
Nea, hello, hello! I got some spinach seeds which refuse to germinate, I told someone they must be from Wall St.
John, just like a bird on an electric wire :-D
Hi again, Jacqueline, man, you should see what this El Nino like weather is doing to our plants, they're struggling to hold their heads up. I feel like the inferior gardener.
Olivia, I HOPE you're right, that it's not as bad as the media say, you know how they tend to...uh...exaggerate a little...
Idahl, I think about the little ones over there a lot, all the college funds their parents saved, I keep hoping, as Olivia says, that it's not as bad. The funny thing is , I know lots of poor folks here who at least won't starve because they plant food.
Pat, that was the BEST. My mother was highly amused. I go around saying, 'My mother in the laundry room, washing machine gun.' Doesn't it sound dramatic? Like the first line in a movie or a book or something? I'm sitting tight. And dancing. Does that make sense?
Kat, right now I'm feeling that nothing can wash mean, greedy folks clean...we have our share of them here, successful professionals who complain that *others* don't want to pay them top dollar...they should hear what the poor folks they employ / trades people say about THEM. Irony of ironies.
A-howa how how how how
I'm not rich enough to be worried.
You are always careful, gg, and beyond that - nothing any of us can do right now but try to relax and see how it goes. Market is always going to go up and down faster/higher/lower than makes sense, that is it's nature.
me own does do dat...i say one day it gon fly tru de garage door or come upstairs
My mom's old tumble drier used to go "ah--wisht.. tawish... wish"
Hard to get it, but it sounded like the back up rhythm to someone like Frank Sinatra or Nina Simone. Sort of Big band Swing rhythm. I miss
that tumble drier...
