Just updated the blog and added pictures of my latest camping weekend :-)

Carol- This one reminded me of the old "Scotty with a Potty" trailers!!



And this one.... I love the "add a room" option! Too cool!




But THIS ONE... has to be my very favorite....



You my dear, are one very cool chick!!! :thumbsup2

You can never be too big for a slumber party! I love the Dixie Chicks!(will I get shot for saying this?) I have the best time when I turn it up loud and sing on the top of my lungs!
 
Dixie chicks? DIXIE CHICKS? Come on now! LOL Just messing with ya.

I love little big town, just like the way they sound!

I bet this place is really going to be D E A D over the next week or so!
 

I love to belt out 'Sin Wagon' and 'Hole in my head'!


Yep.....it will be quiet here....with all the troublemakers gone......
 
:scared1: Just thought I would let you guys know, my dad just called me and said that reg unleaded was $4.09 this am, and diesel was $5.19. Gotta love it!


N O T !!!!

I already paid that on Sunday...and AGAIN yesterday. I commented to the attendant that the diesel price was $4.89...and he said it will be $5.00 by this weekend for sure. Can't believe it. It's looking as if it will $5.00 gas for sure this summer. Gonna effect alot of plans.:rolleyes:
 
You know, I am only 39, but I can remember buying gas for my mustang for $.79 and my first diesel truck, I think I paid $.89. I swear every time I see a a gas station, I get mad! :furious::furious::furious::furious::furious:

I remember that too! I also remember being pregnant with my oldest DD and gas jumping to $1.35. My doc was 45 minutes away and I thought geez, gas for more than a dollar!!!!!!

If I had any idea what the future held!:scared1:
 
I just returned from my chiropractor and he told me they just bought a Class C Winnebago and are taking a trip to FW in August. He says that I inspired him because I'm always telling him about FW. I hope he likes it -- they've never camped before. He picks it up tomorrow and they're heading to the local KOA to test it out. I think I'll tell him about this board. The whole family already loves WDW so I guess it's a good fit. They got sick of the prices at the resorts for a villa and liked the idea of camping.
 
The very first gas I bought with my own money was in 1971. IIRC, it was like $.18/gal.... and that was Sunoco 290. (Remember the dials on the Sunoco Pumps?)

Our local Fox station in Tampa interviewed a private owner of a Texaco station in Sarasota yesterday. The guy said that if he didn't own his own property, buildings, pumps, and tanks, he would actually be losing money selling gas. He said that a couple of franchise owners are closing their stations because they actually lose $.10/gal for each gallon pumped.

On GMA this morning, one of the oil execs was quoted as saying they only make .04 a gallon, yeh right!
 
This is really going to start effecting all other aspects of our lives. We went to the supermarket on Sat, and I didn't have enough to make a meal..just picking up a few things, and had to do a double take..thought I was charged for something I didn't buy. Only it was right, everything is just going up.
Now with the airlines starting to charge for luggage...even the first bag..let alone a second one. Our lawn service now wants to add a fuel surcharge. Says he doesn't know how much longer he's gonna be doing this...and he's been at it for 19 years. We have auto parts dealers at the shop that have been tacking on a fuel surcharge for months now. :rolleyes: My daughter said she had a boy in one of her classes that had to drop out, because he couldn't afford the gas to get to school. She said other kids are having to decide between how much they eat, and how much gas is costing them. That's just wrong.:rolleyes:

Groceries are getting rediculous! I used to buy mostly organic products, but lately I've cut back because the prices are astronomical! Our Lawn service went from $42 last year, to $60 this year!

Exxon Mobil's profits for 2007 were $10.9B. That's a HELUVA lotta gallons of gas!!

= $$$ = No $$$ left to live on.
