$2.61 a gallon, --I hate suv's-think they own the road with unlimited power

So what are Americans going to do with the gas crisis? Cut back on driving? Get rid of the guzzlers. NO! They are cutting back on other stuff so they can still drive. Why the hell does everyone need a big fat gas guzzling vehicle? I am so sick of craning my neck to see around the gas hogs, and many... Sign in to see full entry.

ARE YOU YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY?

Do you sabbotage your own dreams? Do you ever sabbotage your own plans and dreams? I think I do. I want something badly, but when I get just within reach, I freak. I hold back and do something stupid to hold me back. For instance, my passion is poetry. I have wanted to get to know local writers and... Sign in to see full entry.

HEY BLOGGERS, A LITTLE CLARIFICATION HERE...

STEPS TO ENDING DEPRESSION.......A QUICK LIST...

Once I get in the routine, it gets easier to keep up with. I just started back on it After Wiley's visit (he bought me 2... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyway, the job crisis thingy--wow been dealing with it for years but this last year has been a a time of turmoil about "what the hell am I doing teaching in a crowded middle school...

THE DOLPHIN JUMPED OUT OF THE WATER THIS MORNING--WOW

Jim and I were walking on the beach this morning, have always wanted to walk together but it has always been problematic. Not a morning person, early walks were out, and he is not a night person, soooo...we both got fat, and never walked or exercised or anything. All my life I have been terrified of...

"WHY AM I AFRAID TO TELL YOU WHO I AM?" PITHY STUFF...

Because if I tell yoiu, and you don't like it, that's all there is. This was from my memory of book I read many years ago, from the seventies I believe. I think the title of the book was, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? Anyone remember it? I remember it was full of good, pithy stuff. I think... Sign in to see full entry.

WE HEARD 2 SONIC BLASTS EARLY THIS AM, THE SHUTTLE LANDED...

"WOW, WHAT WAS THAT?" I jumped out of bed reaching to call 911. Jim stopped me saying it was just the guy next door hitting something against the wall. "NO, it was louder than that, gun shots?" "No, there wasn't any backfire." "Sounded more like a car crash, but why 2 bangs? Man, that was really... Sign in to see full entry.
