I CAN DRIVE 55…
Yes folks with the rising cost of gasoline, I have decided to do my part to conserve gasoline and help my pocket book all at the same time. No longer will I drive above 55 MPH. I am also trying to rally a group of people to car pool. I can no longer afford the cost of driving back and forth to work each week. Not to mention the havoc said costs have done to other costs as well. Our natural gas and electricity is said to rise up to 66% this coming winter. While we are paying $2.599 a gallon, the country of Iraq is paying .05 cents a gallon for gas… and the war was not for oil "he" says. Rising costs of inflation is "supposed" to be the major factor in costs rising… Hmmm, I watched a report on the news the other night that the estimated cost for a pack of cigarettes was "supposed" to be $2.00 a pack in 2005 as compared to the 1.25 a pack in 1995. New Yorkers are payin 7.50 a pack. While the cost of living is rising, our wages are not. The only energy saving technique our leaders can create and agree upon is to extend daylight savings time…. BIG FAT FUCKING HAIRY DEAL.
So, In my effort to conserve I am making changes. If enough of the citizens did, our voices could be heard.
Imagine if all of the vehicles used to transport goods, mail, packages and so forth went on strike? Our country would lose millions upon millions of dollars in taxes and revenue…. Money talks and bullshit walks….
Anyone have any ideas on how to tighten the belt on our pocket books even more? I would be glad to hear it….

The Wonder Of It All
I feel as though I am watching scenes from the proverbial soap. I hate soaps and I despise when my life feels as though I am caught up in a day time drama plot/subplot. Why all the "Drama"? Well, lets just catch everyone up-to-date. The man I love more than anything in this world has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Currently, his neurologist is determining the type he has. Watching my husband detoriate and waste away these last 4 years has been horrible and fighting with doctors to find what has been wrong with him, even worse. Most have said, it was all in his head. Finally, we have a Doctor that seems to know what he is doing. I just hope he does not have any effects that will linger since it has taken so long to determine his illness. The pain he suffers everyday grows worse and he has aged 20 years in the last 4. The memory loss is worse, he has difficulty speaking, sometimes difficulty swallowing, and he is unable to use cognitive reasoning and he has begun using his cane daily. It is even affecting his ability to be intimate.
I am so very angry, right now that I can not even begin to put into words how deep my hurt lingers in my heart and how much I am dissappointed in the whole human or rather rat race minus a few close friends.
I am tired of the struggle. I am tired of being strong. I am tired of keeping it all together with just a tiny strand.
Even though I feel all of these things, I also know there are people close to me that I am thankful for, Allen, Jenny, My dad, My mom, and Bill, and the kids... I am just tired.
I also went to the Dr. today to have an IUD inserted that emitts hormones that was to eliminate my horrible periods. However; the dr was unable to properly insert it due to the fact that my uterus is extremely small and tilted and will not allow for the iud to be inserted. My dr of 15 years did not realize this until today, and this also accounts for part of the reasons I have never been able to conceive.
I hate my life today....
As always, bills are due and no money, school is starting in two weeks and I have no money for new school clothes for the kids. All in all things suck... I am outta here for now... I am depressing myself even more...
