    without being too crude, can I suggest that if they are going to screw us like that, that they at least give us a kiss afterward?:laugh:

    It's ridiculous...it's almost to the pt. where it's cheaper to eat processed crap than it is to eat what's good for you.

    I saw a commercial today from " feed the children" asking for donations because it costs them too much to fill up the delivery truck :brokenheart:

    The only way around it is to stop driving so much/carpool, do more in one trip rather than making seperate trips for different stores/post office/ etc. The only way to make the price go down is to make the demand drop.
    If possible in your area, use public transportation.
    I've heard some bosses/corporations are up for work at home days to save on gas....

    Oh boy I just filled up my truck....$97.00 later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:explode:

    I told hub we are trading in at least on of the trucks because this is insane...I can't wait for the summer when I can take the commuter rail because I won't have to drop my son and pick him up from school so no driving 30-45 mins each way and no more parking @12 bucks a day...we'll save a ton!!! but with the $$$ cost of food by then we'll probably end up pretty even...sigh!!

    Dear Santa....prius....please!:ohwell:

    hugs!

    I agree with you there. I only go to the store ONCE a week instead of running back and forth for a couple of things each time.
    I wish there were public transport in my area, I would use it, but I don't live near a bus line.
    I've cut back on my driving a lot...I used to drive to see my family every weekend, but I can't afford it. I go once or twice a month now...:ohwell:

    If you smoke, stop, and use the money for gas. You will have better health, live longer and the food you do get to eat will taste better. :heart:

    I agree with all. This is insane. There is no reason gas should have gone up anywhere near the way it did. I remember they tried to say that it was because the military would need it. Last I checked those double deuces they use would run on mud if it had a spot of gas in it. We should all send a message to the higher ups (lower brains) and get rid of the 90 year olds and oil tycoons in washington. If they want a stimulus plan stop selling our oil oversees and keep it here. Start those wells back up and for gods sake build a couple new refineries. It isn't hard. Would create a lil work too. But look soon for a strike in the truckers. When all them pull over and nothing is movin this country is screwed. Maybe that will send a message.

    I agree we need to be self sufficient again we depend on every other country but our own.
