KYS, of course, you are right. It is just the yo-yo on costs that gets to me.

For example, I purchased gas on 7/26 - and it cost $1.59 a gallon.
Last weekend I purchased gas and it was $2.09 a gallon. Oh, I forgot - there was a pipeline break in Phoenix.......that's why. Hello?

Let's see - for dinner, we have top ramen and lime Kool-Aid thanks to Richard's excellent suggestions


Maybe we should make our politicians enjoy this same cuisine----until they get their act(s) together.

I seem to be on a rant today.....we are talking about financing Afghanistan's need for an overhaul on their electrical problems.
But when we talk about the huge power failure in our own country - guess we can't afford that. Soon we will be using candle power only - and they will find a way to put an extra "use" tax on candles as well.

Sorry everyone.
