It is always a guessing game when to comes to purchasing gasoline for our vehicles. There are 3 gas stations in town that have had a price war going on for several years, so they are always offering their gas at very competitive prices which is a plus to us all. We had heard that gas would be at $4 a gallon at this point when in reality the prices are dropping, not by much mind you, but just a bit. I just paid $2.83 and if I had not bought it there and waiting for a few more miles I would have paid $3.02. That is a big difference!

It’s interesting to listen to the numbers that are being spewed out at us from various sources that are busy calculating all the holiday crunching of numbers for the retailers to live and die by. Fact is that the majority of us are cutting back. With so many of us taking advantage of some type of Debt Settlement offer or possibly a Debt Negotiation due to our credit card overload from our spending craze days that are well behind us now.

There are numerous options for Debt Relief out there and having Internet access just makes the whole easy process even easier. When Christmas is all over and done with we will all have to sit back and see what adjustments are needed in order to pay for it all. That’s when it really hurts. I did hear on one news story that more people are using cash this holiday shopping season instead of using their credit cards. I know I haven’t used a single charge card this year and I don’t plan on starting either.

I was reading an article on yahoo.com about how the mid-term elections have only made the political gridlock worse. Instead of getting bi-partisan cooperation to try to make any kind of meaningful improvements in the problems this country is facing, the political parties are now just digging in their heels and getting petty with each other. I think we should toss ALL of them out on their ears and get people in there that will accomplish something and agree to work with each other instead of being obstinate brats that refuse to cooperate with each other. This is disgusting.

One of the things that really irriatates me is a person who complains about the government, but does not bother to vote.  As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t vote, then you have no right to complain about the results, or about how the government is running the country.  I voted today.  I hope you did, too.

It seems that the big news last night is that we have successfully pulled out all of our American troops out of Iraq as of late last night. They are saying that the war is over, guess we will see how that all plays out. It was pretty cool watching the last convoy leaving Iraq, good news coverage.
