I forgot to mention that I read this morning in the Altanta Journal Constitution that gas prices could be at 7 bucks to even 10 bucks a gallon by the end of the year. My personal opinion is not that high but I can see maybe 5$ a gallon. But even then that will really affect How I drive! and it would be pushing 100 bucks to fill up a honda accord? Where I live gas is below the national average but last week it was 2.97 this morning it was 3.13 so that shows how fast it is going up. and on that uplifting note I will sign off!
It is scary how fast the gas prices have been raising and I do not see it stopping anytime soon. It will only be a matter of time before it starts raising the price of other items.

Well funny you should ask that. My friend Kelly as he is known vacationed in you fine country last year. His wife has relation there as well. This summer he and his wonderful wife and two daughters are headed to England to see more of his wife’s relation who are scattered all over the countryside there.
His father-in-law was Professor Emeritus, C. Neil Bull, Gerontology; Leisure; Research Methods at UMKC here in Kansas City. He had a BA & MA from University of British Columbia. The Professor was born in Cleveleys, England. He was a wonderful man and sadly to say we lost him last Sept.
For those members of MMC that live in England I will keep you posted as to when Kelly will be there. He wants to rent a car and we are all going, “no please don’t do that.” See Kelly is well he gets excited sometimes and having to remember to maybe stay on the opposite side of the road just might be hard for him to remember. So I will give fair warning about the crazy dude from Missouri who may be invading your roads.
If those of you who are across the big ole pond as they say want to you can reach Kelly on his Facebook page if you wish he has listeners all over the world and loves to hear from people everywhere. Far as I know he is only Kelly Urich in Kansas City on Facebook
Send me a private message if you want his station info as well his show can be heard on the internet.
Yes Kelly has a strange sense of humor and a lot of it is kind of Kansas City related so if you’re not in on the inside joke around here it’s hard to follow sometimes.
Afternoon all! Tomorrow is...is...FRRRRIIIIDDAYYYY!!!! heh. Speaking of prices going up. Gas yesterday here was 117. Now its 125. WHAT?! Also because if court costs and debts with the hydro company, hydro rates are going up again by 6%. Our delivery charge alone is 80 dollars before we start paying for electricity! I haven't been getting a raise at work. For 2 years to be exact. But the cost of living keeps going up. Sigh. Enough about that lol. We are getting a snow storm tonight! Up to 20inches of snow. Wooo! Hate to chat and run but I'm in the middle of helping a customer upgrade to windows 7 hehe

Raise those gas prices I can sure cut out doing a lot of driving and once again I will do just that as I did last time it went skyhigh. Keep this up I will get a child pull cart for my bike and ride it to the store.
I know not everyone can do that but at same time I sure can plan my trips and cut out all unnecessary runs.

These are my customers so know where and what came from since I posted that seems that our provider mail system has a small issue as well so getting it all worked out as we speak. But as well thats narrowed to only Office 2010 using Outlook. But some reseting of stuff does take place most can handle that plus it seems to want to act like it has never seen an external harddrive when booting up thats been on the system. Oh well keeps ppeople like you and me with money in the bank. By the way I have not seen a raise either for very long time.
I might add theses are all 64 bit systems as well that having a few issues so far 32 bit doing fine.

Sorry to hear about the no raise. Its going to be the 3rd year in a row with no raise. They send emails out about how much money they are making but they are giving it to the share holders. The share holders don't sit here and do the job.

Well I can't raise my rates because everyone one else is cutting theirs so we all not making anything to speak. Three to four years ago I was billing thirty five an hour and now sometimes down to twenty an hour just to get work.
And yes corporations make sure the higher ups are taken well care of and the real working part of the company gets ignored.
Teachers having a tough go here as well due to lack of money in the budget since states all cut funds. Sales tax amounts are down which makes it even rougher.
Then we have the gas issue before long won't be able to afford gas to get to work.
Just today it has jumped to 3.27 here from 3.12 yesterday!
