Barb..IT'S SNOWING???? My God, I don't know how you live there lol. |
Gas is very expensive here too - if I lived closer to work, I would walk or take my bike. We have no choice but to fuel our cars - they have us right where they want us. It's very frustrating! |

I join the whine about gas......You might find this interesting. It is an email I recieved this morning from my mother regarding gas prices. WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON. Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us! wrong! Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices. Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit? An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead . The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil: Shell.................................... 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco.................... 144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil........................ 130,082,000 barrels Marathon/Speedway............. 117,740,000 barrels Amoco.................................. 62,231,000 barrels And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!) The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product. Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil: Sunoco......................... 0 barrels Conoco........................ 0 barrels Sinclair....................... 0 barrels BP / Phillips................ 0 barrels Hess. ............................. 0 barrels ARC0 ............................. 0 barrels Maverick......................... 0 barrels Flying J. .......................... 0 barrels Valero............................ 0 barrels Murphy Oil USA* ............. 0 Sold at Wal-Mart , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced. • *Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.. All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers With the help of the internet, it's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point....keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only ten more (30 x 10 = 300)....and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)....and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!!!!!!! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it...THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE-the entire population of the United States of America !!!! |
Barb SNOW?! Nan there are just no words to all of that! Just disgusting! I just got this email: (Did not really find it too funny but thought I would share) When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her out to some place expensive................. So I took her to the gas station http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...ts/petrol1.gif |
I know everybody is getting tired of me mentioning RONPAUL but he is the only candidate running for President that understands what is happening with the economy and willing to turn things around. If you think things are bad now just wait til the end of summer....and omg if McCain gets elected we will loose America when won't be America anymore... |
Ron who? Something about hale bop? What? I thought you guys all got on the spaceship. j/k :) |
****{Babs}}} good! kk, love that bill! |
my dog came in like a wet dish rag and jumped on the bed, the couch and tracked everywhere....then looked up at me in her cuteist puppy look... "arent I great mom" :) I was so excited about cleaning my yard this weekend (and that is strange) But now it looks like rain till at least Tuesday....don't know when I'll get motivated again :( |
[WHINE]I am powerless over other people's whining. I can only control my own whining. I cannot whine in moderation. Just for today I will take a moment of my day to whine.[/WHINE]:chatter |
headache that won't quit, can't sleep, been too damn cold here for May... but thanks for the tip! From now on I'll get my gas at Sunoco or BP. |
I want to go to bed and my cat won't come in from outside!!! Going out to shake the bag of food again......brat. I don't know how/when she got out? grrrr |
In Butt, Minnesota, My soon to be sis-in-law lives in Missoula. And it's BUTTE ... pronounced ... beaute. :lmao |
If you're still getting snow, it's better to call it Butt :lmao I have a worthy whine today. I feed birds, have a bird feeder and also feed mallards that wander by. They sing me songs and look pretty and don't poop on my deck. My whine? The Canadian Geese have found me!! They visited while I was at work and must have been looking in my patio door because there is goose poop everywhere...it's like dog poop only..well...goose. It's gross and I need to discourage them. I cannot have this!!! I need a scarecrow for geese. Who knew a goose could poop so much??!! Good morning, Whiners! Thought that would start your day with a real blechhht. http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/5...tychildib6.jpg |
