This time of the year I always gather up the box tops for education labels that I’ve clipped from various food and house hold products. I take them to the middle school down the street and donate them each fall. I really acquire a good amount of them and it just seems a waste not to put them to good use.

My best friend went to the doctor today only to find out that she is allergic to wheat. So now she has to be very careful with what she is going to eat. Eating out at restaurants are going to be a challenge. But it is nice to know that there are more and more food products aimed for people with food allergies.

I am so happy that I have started blogging here. Word Press has made the experience a pretty painless process and I’ve urged so many other people to start there own blogs. I enjoy reading a good amount of other blogs, I had no idea, back when I started, how popular blogs are these days. It’s all been good, so far.

I love how things are right at our finger tips these days, all due to the Internet. I needed to find a good dentist, so of course instead of reaching for the Yellow Pages, I only had to go online. In a matter of minutes I had several numbers to call and I found the right one in just a few minutes. Can’t imagine life without the Internet.

I just got a phone call about a truck load of firewood being given away. All I need to do is go over there and load it up and haul it away and it is mine for the taking. I love free. It’s supposed to be a nice weather weekend. That will give me something to do during the nice days ahead.

I’m so glad to see the price of gas finally going down. I can only hope that it stays down and will hopefully continue to drop. This years heating bills are going to be hard enough to deal with and we are in for a long, hard winter. Thank goodness for long underwear!

My friend that rants and rambles starting to rant about why rich people love a bad economy in his rant he says that people with millions of dollars are able to buy up everything for pennies on the dollar and billionaires are able to buy up much more for much less. He says that homes that would have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars each are now being sold for foreclosure prices of 10 to 20 thousands. Cars that would have sold for 40,00 are selling for 5 to 10 thousands and stock that were selling for hundreds per share are now being bought up for 2 to 5 dollars.

And that any time there is a recession it just pretty much screws the poor as for we are all running around trying to figure out where we are going to get our next meal from or how we are going to pay the rent or electricity bill these guys are running around buying up everything for pennies on the dollar and vacationing . And finally he finishes off with do you think a millionaire cares if gas was 8 dollars a gallon?

Sorry for the hiatus from blogging but I need to to a break from the computer for awhile and unplug and in that time i ended up moving to another State the great State of Tennessee that is. Things are going pretty rough for some in my family and I have been trying to help lend a hand but things are still pretty rough and the outlook does not look good for the entire country let alone my little ole family

But we are trying and that is better than giving up so now that I got my internet connection back on I can start blogging again to and filling you full or worthless information that you will never use or find useful but gives me something to do with all these thoughts running around in my head.

Seems more History was made on election night than just a new President for the Nation and that was two States Michigan and Massachusetts legalized medical marijuana in some form or fashion. Plus some States are decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana for anyone caught with it it would be like getting a traffic ticket. Now my hopes are the under the next administration a Federal law will be passed that allows for anyone with a reason to use marijuana for medical reasons to be able to do so with no fear of being locked up or there possessions taken because of growing it or possessing it.

I wonder how long it will take the next Administration to start to move towards a more sensible policy on medical marijuana because there are lots of sick people in jail right now laying next to criminals only because they had some marijuana in there possession to treat there illness. If we all write letters asking them to please free the sick Americans from jail and allow them safe access to medicine there doctors have prescribed for there illnesses instead of locking them up and taking away there stuff and access to there prescribed medicine.

The OPEC President announced today that they will cut production of oil supplies in order to bring the price of a barrel of oil back up to $60 to $90 dollars range {more than likely the $90 range} for a barrel instead of it falling back to pre Bush levels which basically means OPEC wants more of Americas money, and I say we tell him and the rest of OPEC no you can not have more of our hard earned and hard to come by money in fact you will need to take less per barrel for awhile. Our current leader would never say such a thing to his oil buddies but I hope our next great leader changes all this and brings gas prices back down to under a dollar a gallon by the end of his first term.

We have made these oil countries trillions of dollars and provided them security and information for decades you would think the least they can do is help us out in our time of need, and believe me that time was years ago. Together we can get gas under a dollar a gallon again if we and our leaders demand it!
