Sunday This one Not Quite Like the Others

Today I spent my day reading other people's blogs, watching Youtube video's and thinking the world is evolving but into what? Progress ....hmmm? Perhaps one might think so. As new technology is introduced in various aspects of medicine, telecommunications, IT, science to name a few.

But I see a decline in us as human beings, in our way of thinking, our values or the lack of I should say....and integrity, honesty and virtue. Where are they? I see a lot of people thinking of themselves most of the time. I believe we have become the me generation. We want a quick fix for everything and when we don't get it, whatever it is, we take short cuts over looking others needs before our own. Lying, cheating, stealing our way to the top of the heap. And once we are there are we fulfilled.... no.

I see the lack of quality and discipline in ourselves like we are just wondering aimlessly. If that makes any sense to anyone. I have a job I go to everyday and I myself do it because it is my job, not because I am there for a paycheck. I am their doing what I do in order to help the people I am suppose to. Not to try and be superior over someone to make them feel less than who they are. I try to uplift people when they are down. I don't follow the crowd. I don't do things just because everyone else is. I do things with purpose. Or at least that's the way I see myself. I have even been told I try to help more than I should. Is that really possible?

I read a blog the other day about someone wanting to know how to build up a thick skin. I myself am pretty thin skinned and I think that's ok. I would hate to be someone who was so thick skinned that nothing phased them. I think that sometimes if they have such a thick skin they won't have the capability of feeling how someone else feels. Meaning how can you empathize with someone without the ability to feel things.

Example: I am a bill collector and I am 52 and have lived through quite a lot on crap in my life. I work with a lot of young people who to me are only at their job because of the paycheck and that's it. You can hear it in the way they talk to people. They themselves have never experienced an real problems in their lives because of the quick fix mentality of their Me generation parents. The screaming child who wants something and they want it now and the parent that hands it over with no real thought as to hmmm, wait, I should make them work for this or earn that. And the child has not been taught that you have to work for what you want in life and by do so you learn that feeling of independence and pride from doing something well and earning what is deserved. I know there are parents that teach their children well and to those of you I applaude you and there are those that don't and should. But if you weren't taught how, LEARN HOW TO AND DO IT NOW FOR GOSH SAKES!!!

Ok I'm rambling, I'm tired I watched 9-11 video's that somehow caught my eye and made me sad. One was were they are still finding human remains at the site then looked on the side panel and saw one about how bad it was that day and that people began jumping off the building thinking it was better than being burned alive. I still think and I am sorry to say that I believe we our government had something do with 9-11. I just kept watching those towers fall and heard the firemen talking about hearing the many explosions as when a building is being demolished.

There are just still to many unanswered questions for me.

I will just keep praying that whoever is the next President of The United States will be able to lead us with Honesty and Integrity in the future. The only thing is I don't believe it will be McCain or Obama.

So with my ramblings done and sorry if they make no sense to anyone other than myself that's ok too. May God bless us and help us ALL!

Laugh, love and live like there's no tomorrow and have an attitude of gratitude. And I thank God I read and saw what I did today for it gives me the will to try and make things better with everything I do or say. Thanks for stopping by.....Dianne in Texas

Gasoline Prices are Out of Control!!

Gasoline you have to have it but at what cost?
At present too dam much!

I had to fill up today and it hit me last year some time I was on a web site that told the cheapest place to buy gas and where. Luckily I found it in my favorites and boy did that come in handy.

The little place across from where I live wanted $3.95 a gallon and I checked the site for a cheaper price and there it was $3.79 and it was just 2.5 miles down the road from where I live. I didn't need but like 8 gallons which cost me 32.02 @ $3.79 a gallon verses the $3.95 it would have cost had I not looked up the price of gasoline. Hey, I figured I better get it while the getting was good. So I saved $1.34 and I know that doesn't sound like a lot but every little bit of saving is money in my pocket.

So if you want to find the cheapest place to get gas, go Google a site in your area. For me I used this one. http://www.gasbuddy.com/

Ways to help you save money on gas while driving your car:

• Check your tire pressure.
• Lighten the load in your trunk.
• Check all the filters in your car.
• Make sure you get regular tune ups.
• Avoid fast acceleration and hard breaking...strive for consistency in your driving.
• Minimizing "idling" your car - as this can burn up gas for no reason at all
• Plan your trips to the market, the bank and so on so your not running all over the place.
• Shop online you can get almost anything you need online these days.

And if you take my advice about shopping online check out my other post about using Big Crumbs. Let's save some money.

Just trying to find ways to help you prosper not matter what it is!

***UPDATE***
Gasonline regular now down to $2.59 ...about dang time this went down and it needs to go a whole lot lower.

***UPDATE*** 12/26/2008
Finally down to a price I can almost live with again $1.39 omg what a relief!!!
