S#!t. I lock the office door with a padlock. She kept finding the key. Now it has a combo.  2funny

The key is in my brain.  uglystupid2

 And family affair? She will not even entertain the thought of a bike, I ride with the girls. She will be the first to admit excersize is for others. I figure her for a heart attack before long really. You can lead them to water, but if you try to make them drink its considered murder.  wink

 I have an old english racer 3 spd. And our block is over a few miles. You sure you wanna go? We usually go some many times up the street so far and come back. And along the way we feed treats to the neighbors horse. They love the peppermint ones. Or apples if they are doing well. Never tried pears on them yet. So yeah, bring the bike and we'll go then.

 Yeah you can bring wine in your water bottle if you  wish.  azn

Ooops double post

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam going into Central London .
 Nothing is moving north or south.
 
 Suddenly a man knocks on his window.
 The driver rolls down his window and asks, 'What Happened, what's the hold up?'
 
 'Terrorists have kidnapped Gordon Brown, and Alistair Darling.
 
 They are asking for a £10 million ransom. Otherwise, they are going to
 douse them with petrol and set them on fire. We are going from vehicle
 to vehicle, taking up a collection.'
 
 The driver asks, 'On average, how much is everyone giving?'
 
'About a gallon'

NEW YORK - Fireworks aren't the only thing skyrocketing on this Fourth of July. The price of gas has hit another all-time high.

The AAA fuel-gauge report puts the national average price of a gallon of regular at a fraction over $4.10.

The price of premium as of today is $4.51.

A month ago, regular was going for $3.98 a gallon and a year ago you could gas up for $2.95 a gallon.

I tried to warn folks.  Wink  I am gald I never got that motorhome.

Breaking News:

CNN reports that gas stations will start showing PORN movies on the
screens of the pumps so that you can see someone else get screwed at the same time you are!!  Laughing

   Prices seem to have stabilized in the UK at around
$11.00 for a UK gallon  =$9.20 for a US gallon ,diesel around  10% more ,

UK Petrol rationing threat as police prepare to get tough with striking drivers ,

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4132714.ece

Emergency powers to order petrol rationing will come into force on Monday if the strike threatens to grow out of control. Any mass show of secondary picketing at refineries and distribution depots this weekend will disrupt plans by the industry to keep petrol flowing at the pumps. Fuel shortages will also be inevitable if farmers and hauliers join illicit protests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was in June 08,  and we narowly avoided  petrol rationing , again !!!
this is the 4 time  that the UK has faced this , one period of rationing lasted 8 years ,  the Goverment gave vouchers for around 200 miles per week , more if you had special work etc.
I have just found mine from 1974 , I am keeping it in case it's needed again  Shocked

edit to add , these ration books are being sold on e-bay , notice it clearly states " this book is the property of Her Majesty's Goverment "  , I guess it could get interesting ,  LOL "off with their heads "  knuppel2

"Ladies and Gentleman: I am standing at a Washington, DC gas station. You can see the cars lining up. Due primarily to a shortage of rubber needed for the war effort, gasoline is to be rationed to avoid unnessary driving. Normal citizens are limited to just 4 gallons a week. Others can get more gas if they have special needs or obligations such as police officers, doctors, and religious leaders. People are not happy about this rationing on top of the food rationing already underway and the Victory Gardens everyone is growing in addition to putting all the time in on jobs and on buying war bonds. Still this what everyone is doing because it justs seems to make sense. All Americans want to see this war won and the soldiers, sailors and airmen back home as soon as possible. People who act like there is no war on are the ones that everyone else frowns upon. Hopefully, US citizens will never have to ration fuel again."   evil6

Better get a pillow to hug, because it's about to get much more frightening. This week the world will escalate closer to an attack.  Just my thoughts.  But I do believe rationing of every food source, and gas and so on, is not that far away.

IMO we already have a form of rationing " by price "  and that hits the  least able hardest ,
I notice allegedly John McCain doesn't know the price of gas , I doubt many rich folk do either ,

Mudmanc what sort of attack ?  all I can see is some sort of internal political revolution , imho
