Is the world today pissing anyone off other than me?
I have a little bit of a temper. I tend to spout off when I should probably keep my mouth shut. But, if it wasn't for the part of me trying to be a good role model for my boys, I would yell and throw thing and raise hell about the evil of the gas companies. $3.34 a gallon really freaking sucks when your job is to drive all over the county. It would be a little better if I was driving at a constant 55 mph but start-stop-start-stop-start-stop, really seems to not be the optimal actions of a fuel effiecent auto. Yes, I could get a car, but who is coming to pull me out when I would get stuck every other day. Yes, I could move closer to my work, But moving my wife even further than we are now from her parents would go over like a turd in a churn. I have recevied a more money from my job for the move but it feels like we are returning to that place that we were right before Brennon was born. One step forward, two steps back. I am not broke or really anywhere near there, but I just would like to feel like I had really made a step forward financially. Now back to those gas bastards. Does the gas companies have pictures of everyone in Washington shacked up with someone other than their spouses? Why will noone help us? I consider myself a conservative, and do not want to give government too much power, but hell, $75.00 bucks to fill up 2-3 times a week makes me sick. I dont want universal healthcare, I dont care about making sure the caribou can migrate, and I don't care about building a wall between us and Mexico. I just want gas to come back down and stay down. I cant cut back driving. I cant stop going to work. I need cheap gas or a job making $1,000,000 a year.
You're still alive!! LOL
We feel the crunch here too! We had saved over $12,000 in the past year and watched $6,000 of it go out of the account in the last 5 months due to high fuel costs for our chicken house. One step forward...two steps back..just like you said. So frustrating!
