This is a brilliant article by Fabian.

Preppers love to talk about trade and barter, but the more likely case, especially in a slow-burning economic disaster like what we're seeing across America now, a black market economy is far more likely - and is in fact already here.

Though the black market may not be regulated by government policies, there are still rules and the penalties for breaking them are definitely not a trial by jury.

Here's what you need to know about black market economies.

What do you know about the black market? Is there an underground economy in your area? Have you considered this in your preparedness plans? Share your thoughts in the comments.

My family and I were overwhelmed with gratitude over your kind words and outpouring of love after I shared our dog's health problems with you on the weekend. Thank you so much from all of us.

She ended up Monday having a CT scan to get a better look before the biopsy and there is possibly good news. The radiologist said that it might be a bone infection instead of bone cancer.

She is going back under anesthesia today for the removal of a tooth and some bone. They'll perform a biopsy and cultures. This is her third procedure in a week and she's being a champ about it.

Regardless of outcome, this will be the last procedure we put her through because anything further is damaging to her quality of life, not to mention very expensive.

If you have a moment to send up some good vibes, prayers, healing energy, Reiki, or whatever is your jam, today's the day. She is now in pre-op and this is our last-ditch effort to save her life. I won't have results back from the biopsy for a week, but I'll keep you posted in my Survival Sunday newsletter.

Thanks in advance, my friends, for caring so much about us.
