The latest excuse for gas prices going up is because of Hurricane Ike. According to The Desert Sun, the hurricane “caused a near total shutdown in crude production in the Gulf of Mexico, triggering gasoline shortages and dramatically higher prices at the pump in parts of the South and Midwest.”
The presidential candidates, McCain and Obama can say all they are going to do to drop gas prices, but let’s face it, we were told a while ago that there was going to be “no more taxes” so I’m sure we are not smart enough to fall for the same trick twice over. They can all eat my giant taco!
These supposed hard economic times calls for people to budget themselves. I’ve read how a lot of people are seeking help by joining credit counseling agencies to colsolidate debt.
There’s a million and one ways to do that; debt management, debt settlement, credit counseling, debt consolidation loans and mortgage refinancing. Depending on your credit score, it might determine which avenue you go down. If your broke as hell like me, consolidation loans are out of the question. I think the computer laughed at me when I tried to apply for a debt consolidation loan.
Saving money is so important now, I think, more than ever. Mainly because whomever becomes president, who knows that they are going to do? With a new President coming into the office and the economy going down the toilet all at the same time do you think it’s just the perfect recipe for disaster?
Or maybe it’s just me sniffing the $4.00 a gallon gas fumes!
I don’t understand fashion sometimes. Like these Oscar de la Renta dresses for almost $3,000!!!
Who would care enough to wear a $3,000 dress to work…or out for that matter. I go to Wal-Mart and can barely afford the $3.99 t-shirts along with my groceries. Paris Hilton would die trying to live the life of us Wal-Mart shoppers for a day.
I know of a few creative, snazzy promotional items for companies and products out there, but this one takes the cake…
Are you ready for a vacation? Who isn’t? Even if your a silent, boring, “about to lose your mind office worker like me ready to shoot themselves in the head from the boredom at work can be mind sucking.
How about considering a Branson, Missouri vacation for your next one? I know I need a vacation, so if anyone is willing to send me on one…I am ready.
They offer numerous vacation packages: Platinum Package includes 3 days, 2 nights with 2 tickets to the Grand Jubilee show, $30 Red Lobster/Olive Garden Gift Card, Coupon Book with $1,500 worth of savings, $50 Tanger Outlet Shopping Certificate for $457 per couple.
Red Lobster and Olive Garden are one of my favorite restaurants, so they have me sold there! There’s also Gold and Silver Packages, and so many more if you didn’t want to splurge so much on your vacation.
If you don’t want a package, there are a million and one attractions and sites to explore; after all, they do call Branson the Live Entertainment Capital of the World. Does this mean that Branson has tons of strip clubs? Who knows? I will let you know when I get there. Either way, who doesn’t enjoy a little entertainment once in a while?
Everything’s there to take care of your needs from shopping, lodging, entertainment and dining. My last vacation was in Gatlinburg, TN and Branson sounds a lot like Gatlinburg, so I might grab up the hubby and take a little vacation getaway for our anniversary.
Looking for bathroom faucets for your latest home projects? This website might help!
I know one day when I own a house of my own, I want to renovate and/or decorate it the way I want to. I’m not a professional interior decorator or anything, but I would like to think I have a clean, simple style when it comes to interior design.
For those of us on a strict budget since gas prices have been skyrocketing, here’s a fun, personal way to watch the movies you want, when you want:
Creating your own home movie theater, complete with popcorn machine, home theater seating…and if you wanted to make a buck or two…charge people to come into your movie theater room to watch a movie. The best part, none of the screaming children that like to sneak into public movie theatres on the weekends and cause a ruckus.
Want some promotional products for your business to give to prospecting customers?
I found this awesome website that will make USB drives, hats, calculators, bottles, umbrella’s and even a touch screen mp4 player…all with your logo on it.
I know I used to be an Avon lady and I could of used a website like this when I was in business for myself.
- Truck Drivers - Because of hazardous highway conditions and sleep deprivation can lead to depression in truck drivers.
- Healthcare Workers - They are in stressful and hazardous positions everyday on the job, and can suffer sleep deprivation from long shifts.
- Waiters/Waitresses - They risk developing backaches and repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome from spending hours on their feet and carrying heavy trays loaded. From a mental factor, they almost everyday deal with rude and demanding costumers.
- Police Officers - They deal with dangerous situations everyday on the job. They also witness death and suffering from accidents and criminal behavior, which leads to post-traumatic stress.
- Desk Junkies - Office workers are prone to arthritis, carpel tunnel, and the restricted bloodflow to your legs after long periods of sitting down can cause blood clots.
- Garbage Collectors - They are outside in all types of weather, and they face rigorous physical demands and high risks of falling.
What about President of the United States, Race car drivers or Celebrities? We all know what we want to do to President Bush, and don’t get me started with race car drivers, (they could use some car insurance online) and surely being a stuck-up snobby celebrity has got to go under the “mental health” category!
Leptitrex is another new fat burner aka diet pill out on the market.
It claims to be an all-natural fat loss supplement that focuses on the hunger, vitamins & minerals, fat loss, body and liver detox, superfoods, and anti-aging benefits.
It is more of a “lifestyle” diet supplement that you take not to lose weight and maintain a healthy body. It supplies you with essential nutrients that the body lacks.
I have not tried this one yet, Lord knows I’ve tried a lot of diet pills out there, but this might be my next experiment.
As if some of us couldn’t afford regular furniture for our house and we sit on bean bags to watch TV at home (hey, bills happen!) But if you have the money to blow and decide that donating your money to charity is a waste then you can get this for your pampered pooch:
Dog Loungers???
To appeal to all of the environmentalists…the loungers are made with eco friendly bamboo.
What’s next? Matching dog hammocks or even outdoor furniture covers so they can lounge on the porch next to you.
Some poor, bored soul actually took the time to make a website dedicated to pasting Sarah Jessica Parker photos next to horse pictures.
I’m not sure if I should say “Poor Sarah Jessica Parker?” or “Poor horse”. This might urge a little kid to want a horse, or a stupid person to send SJP a lifetime supply of horse supplies.
I guess you could be the judge of that.
Time to open up my laptop computer and dust up on my e-baying skills; I’m going to sell ad space on my forehead.
Kelly Gray and fiancé, Karl Gau were trying to plan their wedding on a combined income of $32,000.
Wedding ceremonies adverage to over $27,000, according to a recent survey commissioned by The Knot Inc., a publicly traded wedding media and services company.
So what do you do with limited income and a big wedding budget? You auction off a spot in your wedding on eBay.
Of course! Why didn’t someone think of this before? This woman is a GENIOUS!
No need to adjust your eyeglasses, there really is another Lohan! An illegitimate Lohan sister named Ashley Kaufmann.
Surprise, surprise! She wants to follow in moronic half-sisters Lindsay and Ali’s footsteps by recording an album.
A record-industry insider says, “Ashley has more talent than Lindsay or Ali.”
My dog has more talent than Lindsay.
A Lohan family source adds, “Ashley’s singing ability just proves that the family talent comes from Michael (Lohan), not Dina Lohan.”
Again…surprise, surprise!
