I want my own personal one. I also want one for my family.
I'm pissing and moaning today. It's my blog. I'm allowed.
I want my bank account stimulated to allow me to do some stuff. I'm tired of not having any money.
I'd like to go to the beach. It's just gorgeous here today and to be thunderstorms tomorrow. It's 2 hours away, I drive a one ton doolie. Gas is not cheap, especially diesel. It hurts every time I have to fill the tank. My son lives 150 miles down the road and I can't even go see him. It sucks.
I'm tired of paying a fortune for cleaning products, toilet paper, etc. For goodness sakes when did the price of laundry soap and dryer sheets go higher than a night in a motel? Don't even get me started on the price of batteries and energy saving light bulbs! When exactly did a blizzard at Dairy Queen get to be $5??? It's fucking ice cream!
It takes a gallon of gas just to go to Wal-Mart and back here. At least diesel is 'only' $2.21 a gallon now and not $4.85 like it was. It still pisses me off. Get a smaller car? I'd love to. Got an extra 20K laying around? I sure don't.
I've got 3 kids that need jobs. Yes, 3. My oldest boy has 2 degrees and can't get a teaching job. He's working at Home Depot. My second son, a mechanical engineer has just lost his job. One baby at home, another on the way, a huge mortgage and student loans up the ying yang. "Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order please"....will that be his future? My youngest son just finished his college education in April. Can he get a job? Nope. Can I help them? Nope.
Oh I am not poverty stricken. I have a home in Michigan, I share a home in Florida, I have a 5th wheel for the in between home stage. Do I want all that? Hell no. I want to sell my home in Michigan. Can I? Nope. Economy sucks too bad. If you know anyone that would like to buy a 6 bedroom home that also has an efficiency apartment attached and a 3 car garage. Let me know. It's 1/2 mile from the school.
I think I'm done now. I just needed to rant a bit. Aren't I just one big freakin ray of sunshine today?
Why yes, I do believe

Sorry to hear about the situation. My own circumstances aren't sooo different. I don't know whether I'll go permanent in my current job and if not, I'll be unemployed in 2 months time. This recession is a bugger.
Well you got a lot off your chest in this post. Sometimes we just have to let some steam off.
I agree with you about groceries. I only feed myself most days, and I just can't imagine what others are spending if my groceries cost what they do.
If you keep exercising like you have been you can ride your bike to see J and be there by the end of the day.
BTW how did the toilet paper experiment turn out?
