STOP IT!!!

In light of Friday's heard of dumb asses running to the gas pumps to fill up before a hurricane hit hundreds and hundreds of miles away, local government officials are encouraging you to go to the appropriate offices with your receipt if you think you were a victim of price gouging at the pump.

Let me just express my opinion that if you were a price gouging victim over the weekend then you are a dumb ass who deserves to pay what you were charged. It is very obvious when a station charges .20, .30 or as much as $1 more than other stations in the area that they are taking advantage of you.

Another point I would like to make is that if we don't all run to the gas station at one time to fill causing the stations to run out of gas, then the supply & demand won't fluctuate and therefore, our prices will not fluctuate near as much. Most of the increase in price is due to the media and the dumb ass factor.

I live in Memphis, TN (If you are not aware, Memphis is light years away from Galveston or Houston, TX). The tankers never stopped coming into our area because of hurricane Ike. There was no need for anyone to jump up and run to the gas station unless you were out of gas anyway and it was your time to stop for gas or if you needed a 20 oz drink and some black n milds.

CALM DOWN PEOPLE. DUMB ASSES MAKE ME SICK!!!

Tread Lightly

I will be the first to tell you that I am not a matchmaker. I don't really care who is in bed with who as long as my husband is in bed with me! I wouldn't want to set someone up because I don't want one person or the other calling me to find out what she/he said about them and God forbid it doesn't work out, then, I would be in the middle of two of my friends fighting and it would be all my fault.

That being said.... Yes, you knew it was coming. My cheeks are blushing and I am rolling my eyes. For a while now I have thought that 2 of my friends would make the best couple. Last year, the girl told me that she had a huge crush on the guy! Whoo hoo!

The problem has been that the guy was dating another girl for almost a year. This was a girl that no one outside our circle of friends knew before and, to be honest, she was obviously not right for him. When I heard that they broke up, I called him up! Hopefully, I was discreet in going about it, but I got him interested and he sent her a message on Myspace. (Yes, both parties have myspace and Yes, we are talking about grown ups! I know, save your remarks on that!)

This is just in the beginning stages, but so far everything is going good. Please, please, please cross your fingers for me because if this blows up I am going to be sooo mad at myself!

P.S. I don't recommend setting up friends to anybody for any reason! Oh no, this is not a good thing!
