It's funny how the price went up at the very moment he needed gas. It's like they did it just to irritate him personally. ;D It always seems to go up just before a long weekend too. Still prices are better here than the rest of the country. But I could have done so much with that $5.00.

$5.00 bought me 7 plants in 2 pots - an exception too.
If we didn't need fuel so much we'd tell them all where to stick it. I often feel we are being held to ransom with fuel prices.

I had a Big Mac and fries yesterday. It was worth the $ 5.00 since I hadn't had one in a few days. That's the only sandwich I ever get there.
Egypt is in for a tough time. There is a lot of stuff that went on behind the scenes that led to the protest than we have been led to believe. It's wasn't just a spontaneous protest for democracy. I can only hope that the moderate population can have time to get better organized before an election is held. The radicals are well organized and well known. If elections were held today, Egypt would soon be an Islamic nation under Sharia Law. That would be a bad thing for Israel, the U.S., the E.U. and all western nations as well as all religious minorities in Egypt.
Rant: My "new" computer is still setting under my desk at work and not working. They were supposed to order me a new one to replace the one that doesn't work. There was a problem with the re-order. They were supposed to re-order it again. Still have not seen it. Getting pissed.
Rant #2: Still have not been able to cut through the red tape to get the new medication my doctor prescribed for me. Really tired of the games.

Haha! Remember the culture/generation conversation - getting pissed means to me - getting drunk!
Possum how frustrating on both counts.

Haha! Remember the culture/generation conversation - getting pissed means to me - getting drunk! Same here. In fact I could cheerfully crawl into a 24 pack of Stella Artois and lose a couple of days. Going from happy about a scan result then receiving a letter saying things had been reviewed and they now recommend I have an operation on my back ... has really put me on a downer ... Possum mate. Move to Wales. My doctor made time for me this morning after I received that letter, changed 2 of my 8 prescriptions to something else, I picked them all up and all done between 8.30 and 9.30 a.m. On the computer front ... these big organisations want our money, but they're not so keen on putting things right. Says me looking @ an 18 grand car that is nothing but a freaking pain in the derriere ... anyone got a horse for sale

I went to the doc,s today,kept getting bad pain in my shoulder and chest over the weekend.Turns out I've got repetitive stress from using PDN.lol Honest. I've noticed if i'm doing an image I tend to lean forward over the computer desk and that's what's causing it. Been advised to have a break every fifteen minutes. Am I the first person to be ever injured using PDN? Gonna have to start issuing a health warning.

Quite ironic seeing a Norway Spruce in Denmark ... One question tho' ... why didn't you sned the branches totally off ?

It was brought down by a storm. ( Look at the root ) But the top was lying over another tree, so it still had 5 feet to fall. So each time i removed a branch, it could fall further. Therefore i preferred standing just a little bit from the heavy parts.

I stressed out the tendons and nerves in my right index finger (mouse pick button finger) and wore out two mouses. Then there's the mental anguish it causes.......every single time something doesn't come out the way I want it to.

I am really bummed. Patty has said she is cancelling her DeviantART account because she is losing internet. Really a bummer. I enjoyed her being on there so much.

I wish she would just keep her account. I mean, she could get internet back and wish she still had her account. She has a Daily Deviation and everything now. I would love to see her keep it, even if she isn't on much.
