Tuesday's Ramblings /Contest around Blogville!

Ok enough already on the politics!This has totally went insane this year.Back to back commercials of everybody putting everyone else through the grinder.Makes me realize that no matter who we get,they are probably nuts!
I am glad to see the gas prices going down,maybe groceries will follow,but that is still a long way from beginning to fix this mess the whole world it seems is in,But it is a little positive note and i think we all needed that.Just don't fool your selves into thinking this is ending,no ,far from it i am afraid.But it is a little break maybe where we can all take a moment to reevaluate what we can do different.There is way's to save money.We must all begin to live within our mean's.What does it matter if we have a bigger house than the neighbors if we are having to take heart medicine to survive the stress it is causing worrying where we are going to continue getting the money to afford it?What does it matter if little Johnny and Suzie have top brand expensive clothing if you had to take a credit card to buy them with?What are we really teaching them?Come on people this is a HUGE wake up call for all of us.

BY THE WAY...HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY RITA...LOVE YOU...

Thanks for stopping by!Please leave me a comment ,i'll return the visit .
