Compare Gas Prices

Gas prices are close to $4 a gallon in a lot of states. It may save a bit of money to comparison shop first! Several sites are out there to help. I use FuelMeUp.com to find the stations with the lowest prices in my area. The prices are updated regularly, and visitors can correct pricing errors.

THE POST SERVICE HELPS YOU GO GREEN

We all know that we should recycle our old gadgets and ink cartridges. But often, this is easier said than done. I'm frequently asked where to take these items so that they can be recycled.

The United States Postal Service is launching a recycling pilot program. No, the post office won't actually take your old gadgets! Rather, it has teamed up with a recycling company. The post office will place free envelopes for recycling small gadgets and ink cartridges in its lobbies. There is no charge to mail your old gear in for recycling!

This sounds like a great way to make recycling easier for many people. However, there is just one problem with the program. Right now, it is only available in 10 areas like Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington and Chicago.

Me, *again*

Yeah, well.
Much easier to blog in my head. I always get my thoughts all out, even though sometimes incoherent, I feel better. Then once I sit down, *poof*, mind is totally blank.

I actually have NOTHING to bitch about today! *shocked look*
I am hoping if I get back to blogging, maybe some of the damn "foggies" will lift. Maybe I can be myself again. Seems most days I just wander the earth with NOTHING in this head. Just a big blank space. It's put a screeching halt on my personality most days. I am like a different person from just a couple of years ago. To go from thoughts bouncing around 90mph inside a padded, semi-round cavity....to NOTHING.....too
drastic of a change. Although it has been coming on for some time, it has been happening slowly. Which has made it worse, I think. I could ignore dingy thoughts, blonde moments, and this fog-fucked brain of mine when it was just one day. Now it seems as though I have less clear, coherent days and the blank days are becoming the norm.

As a matter of fact........my house keys (and a few other semi-important keys). with my usb flash drive attached have been missing for about 2 weeks. And yes I have a set place I put things like that. Usually. No telling on foggy days *what* I actually do.
When I was on Provigil, it did help some. Mostly kept me alert enough to where the fog wasn't quite so thick. Now? I don't take it.
Anyone know of any easy way to keep track of things?
I tend to throw sticky notes out after I see it once or twice.

Updated.........

Updated Blog so anyone can leave comments.

Am putting links in for freebies when I find them, things I love, and my favorite things also.

Just for that??!!??

Wtf? Was my first thought a few days ago. Currently I am sitting in a coffee shop having a Mocha Latte. Thought I would finally get around to posting. Anyway........I got an instant message from an old "friend" (for lack of better wording at this moment). I had not talked to him in over a year. Was wondering wtf he was doing messaging me out of the blue. Well, I found out soon enough because I am just nosey. After getting the niceties out of the way, my nosey self inquired as to his current relationship. I just asked if he married her yet. He said not yet but he will be getting married in 24 days (which makes it the last weekend in January). I told him congrats. Personally I think it is about time! I have not talked to him nor seen him online or offline since. Do you think he just wanted me to know he was getting married? If it is so great & exciting why not tell me sooner? Maybe he wanted to........ you know.......one more time before he tied the knot? Heck, I don't know the answer to any of those questions. Pure speculation on my part. Our "friendship" involved hotels and sex - off and on for several years. Need I say more? I didn't know much about him (his habits, idiosyncrasies, etc.) but on the other hand I knew alot about him as a person, and yet not everything. We live several hours apart. But, being me, I have wondered what things would have been like had I lived closer or had I moved closer. And MAYBE if I wasn't a commitment-phobe .......well.... you can't change the past. Nor does it pay to live in the past. What could have been - that's a dangerous place to wander. I sure don't mind visiting the land of *What Could Have Been*, more commonly known as the land of *What If*, but it is not somewhere I prefer to dwell. What-If's can make you crazy and cause you to lose out on a lot of life. Yes, I came to care about him as a person. But - I am not the type that likes strings, commitments, etc. I do expect honesty and respect. In a committed relationship you get into trust issues too often. The question I do know the answer to is: How do *I* feel about him getting married? Good for him!!
