It's become perfectly clear that the big oil companies are cashing in while average American families are being bled dry," Schumer said.

Schumer and other Democrats are pressing for legislation to tax the "excess" profits of oil firms to fund heating assistance programs, recovery from Hurricane Katrina and other programs.

Its some Bull

Go figure- my gas bill goes from $50 a month and then out of nowhere jumps to $250 when I am in here freezing my butt off with the thermostat on 70?

 

As long as the pipes don't freeze just keep it up that much and wear some clothes ?

 

ok ok it is snowing as i type......WTH is up with this?

 

The colder and pissier I got- the more I realized I MUST have my 72~

Here we go again, right now is 18 degrees with the windchill at about 4, tommorow back into the 40's and by friday there calling for snow.

Here is another interesting article:

I don't care for this because going outside is downright unpleasant!!!

 

We got maybe two inches of snow. All the distrticts closed around here .. even though it'll be gone by noon, probably.

It was/is pretty though. At least it seems a bit more like winter.

 

There apperently was ice on the freeways here this morning. I didnt see any, but they said troopers alone were working over 30 accidents. See thats the other thing about Alabama, when stuff changes drastically, most people are in their own lil world and dont think "Oh, maybe I should slow down a bit cause its raining/sleeting/icy". Then they wreck.

 

At my work, it looks like most of the snow is already gone. Laura has said its still mostly in our yard (though it is heavily shaded, so that helps).

 

Bleck its cold out there. :notnice:

 

You know how postal I would go with the snow? Alabama would have the apocolypse if that happened.
I had to go take Eleanor out for a spin just to warm up!! YES I am still cold here.


AND I wanted to take the greyhound to the tennis court to run this afternoon, but its too cold.

AND My birthday is this weekend! Where is the warm weather I asked for?

 

It's in Texas! Today is sunny and 70! Took Stang on a 60 mile round trip shopping spree just to drive her. I didn't need a thing!

 

Well Krikey...Send it on East. Please. Before my whole family leaves me for being so crabby and cold.

 

I thought you were getting driving lessons for your birthday.

Now you want Warm weather?

Will you never be satisified?

 

pouring rain yesterday and this morning I woke up to 4" of snow on top of the car. Now it is raining again.

 

What I WANT is A Z6- in Orange.
What I will get is another story.

 

Orange is a wonderful color.

 

Orange Rules. Yellow is just watered down orange.

I just took a 3 mile walk. NOW I am warm. For the moment anyhow.

 

Thoguht it was too cold to go out?

Women and their contradicting ways.
