Yes, gasoline is at $2.55 per gallon here. No explanation, no one has to answer for the increases. One station does it, and then all others follow suit. And this is gasoline that was refined from barrels of oil purchased months ago - not at the $67 a barrel that has everyone talking today.Money - there is a limit to how much the consumer has. And there are some things people must have - such as gasoline - to get to their jobs and to keep their lives going. This old argument that I hear on the political shows - we raise the price to get people to use less gasoline. What a crock! People don't use a lot of EXTRA gasoline. They don't buy it and horde it. They use what they need to get where they NEED to go. And if they have to pay more for gasoline, they have to buy LESS of something else.I'm just saying. And you know who I blame for this mess, don't you?
DR Cillaliz, i'm not sure if you were here during TAR time. But the Amazing Race is very popular at HHW. I know it is my favorite reality show of all!Btw, they have announced the new season will start sept 27th. I am anxious to see the cast list, as it involves families of 4 (with kids 12 or older). Just not sure how many teams will have young kids, vs 20 somethings.
Oh btw, I meant to mention that this weekend they were giving free samples at the mall. And I discovered my new favorite thing.It's for women, and it's a body spray. It's called Secret sparkle body spray. And it comes in 4 flavors (tropical, peach, rose and vanilla). Now the first 3 are not good. But the vanilla is to die for. And this is coming from someone is is very allergic to perfume.The smell is so natural, so wonderful. I am so happy to have something i can use like perfume and not get sick.Btw, does anyone know exactly what body spray is?I found it sort of odd that Secret would make this. Because truthfully when i saw the samples i thought it must be some type of deoderent (sp?).But you just spray it on your body (anywhere) and it is addictive. I"m guessing it's new cause i've seen it in a lot of places.What a great idea to give free samples, because i would have never known what it was or tried it. And now i love it!
forgive me?
BP? (er, the gas station not the actress! LOL)
Oh....alright. But only because I'm a pushover for cuties.
Speaking of high gas prices (2.35 in the city of Salem as of yesterday) I must get into my motor car and hie myself to the cities of Wilsonville and Tualatin to do some shopping and to check in on Black Kitty and Fat Kitty whose parents are in Nevada.
I was just about to say...."Ummmm...." but then I saw the "revival" disclaimer.So you are sneaky, but factually correct, DR JRand.
I almost forgot...This article over at Playbill OnLine makes me wonder about how well educated their sources are.I mean, I think it's great that they remember the film The Princess Bride. But couldn't they acknowledge that the film was based on Goldman's book of the same name?
After all, she started the 'Frisco quake and burned Chicago down. Gas prices would be NOTHING for her!
Dan The Man- I was just thinking about Kate Bush yesterday. Her first album is a masterpiece, and she was like, 19 when she recorded it. I like to say she now records under the name Tori Amos because I think Tori copied some of Kate's vocal stylings.
