Exclamation Looks like our...

Labor Day wont be spent anywhere else but here at home...At least Deb filled up the car $2.64 per gallon, It will probably cost $50,000.000 per gallon by this evening

Thumbs up Important- Please Read


I received an e-mail today from a friend...I know this is very late in posting but tomorrow (September 1st) is

BOYCOTT FUEL DAY

So PLEASE- Do not buy fuel tomorrow- (you can buy it the next day..)
What this group is trying to do is see what will happen if No one buys fuel on the 1st. I realize that is almost impossible...but if you can refrain, it would be a great help.
Statistics show that if No one purchased fuel on Thusday 9/1---It would be a disaster for the oil people and gas companies that continue to raise prices, to the extreme. So let's see what happens- Give it a try and don't buy

So it is a little thing....but if you can, don't buy gas tomorrow!!!!
Thanks for joining the effort

The lines for gas at every station I saw on the way home were at least ten cars deep at each pump

Oh, a storm is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away

War, children, it’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
War, children, it’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin’
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost it’s way

War, children, it’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
War, children, it’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away

The floods is threat’ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I’m gonna fade away

War, children, it’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Also - 60% of the country's grain is exported from the Gulf Coast to other countries. This could rsult in famine and bankrupt famers in the US.

GA was on the national news today, showing some places with gas at up to 6 dollars a gallon! My mom in GA called , and said many stations have signs that say "sorry no gas.." and she went to a station today and got gas for $5 a gallon...this is crazy, they said they expect it will spread across the country..likely to atleast $4 a gallon nationwide.

They are showing sky cam video on CNN of GA lines all the way down roads for gas, with police directing traffic to gas stations with $4 a gallon for regular unleaded!!

I'm in Florida and they have run out of the low and medium priced gas. Now they only have High-grade which is over three dollars a gallon. All I can say is that my parents are going to have a stroke when they read their credit card bill this month.

My new plan is to move to a big city after I graduate this year and sell my car. I don't want to play this game anymore... I'm sick of the suburbs, I'm sick of commuting...

It seems like all these horrible things have been happening lately. The war in Iraq, the tsunami, September 11th, Katrina, Bush in the whitehouse.... And on top of that, a ton of people I know are battling really horrible diseases right now. The list goes on and on! Life seems to not be 'a gift' anymore...

I agree with this. I need to move to a bigger city so I don't have to drive to work. I would be saving about $50 a month, if not more....

Yeah, you should move to a bigger city... walking, biking and public transit is the way to go.
