Not sure if this will work but I am game to do this...

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

I received this in an email today and decided to pass on.

Don't pump gas on April,15th 2012
KEEP SENDING THIS

I'll do it! If running low, just get your gas the day before on April 14 or the day after on April 16. Every little bit helps.
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On April 15th 2012, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.97 a gallon in most places.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on April 15th and let's try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

    I will not get gas till Tues. There is no sense in the gas being so high. We have a lot of the people from the north here now and also the college kids that are on spring break and the gas has gone up because they know that they will pay it ! When they go home, the price will go back down !

    I have suggested this for a long time time,I am glad this is going to happen.Think how much of an impact the whole weekend would make.WE should do this more,every month but chose different days.We can speak our minds about this and this is one way to show our disapproval of this.We buy diesel and they are charging us 50 cents more for fuel that is proven less polluting than gas.What is up with that? I will Not buy fuel and pass this on to everyone I can.Thank you for posting this,I wouldn't have known otherwise.Off to get the news out. emoticon

    Well, I never pump gas. Got married back in the days that men were to do that. And he still does. Love some of those old fashioned virtues, esp in cold winter.

    I get excited by the idea of a day without fossil fuels. What about extending the day to not visit a gas station to a day without using gasoline powered cars or any fossil fuels? What about the idea of liberating oneself from fossil fuel dependence rather than letting the gas providers know how much their gas is needed? We need to change. We need to let these oil companies know that we don't need them. There are other ways.

    If the same quantity of gas is still being purchased in the end, I don't see the oil companies being hurt by this. They get their money when the gas truck comes to deliver the gas to the station. It will end up inconveniencing the gas station as they have two unusually busy days and one unusually slow day. From my experience, the owners and employees of the gas station don't make a lot of money from selling gas and probably like the oil companies less than most do.

I think setting aside a day (probably a Saturday is best) for people to just not drive at all would send a better message.

    This really doesn't work if you just fill up the day before or the day after, because you are still buying the gas.

What we need to do is to not use our cars that day - then we are actually buying less gas.

Six tips on surviving the modern world in the event of a crisis.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

emoticon Wonders never cease to amaze me. The topic of conversation at Easter Dinner with family members of all topics to discuss was about Doomsday Gardens and the possible collapse of our economy as we know it. The current political and economic conditions evidently has everyone talking and planning.

My niece went into great detail on setting up a self directed IRA and making sure we filled it with gold or silver because surely the US is a matter of only a couple of years away before our US dollar becomes worthless as our government keeps printing more money that is really backed by nothing and now there is talk of another round of printing with QE3.

She also bought this big bucket of food that just gets reconstituted with water and you add a cooked grain to it as a side. She bought the Vegetarian variety. This bucket will feed one person 2 meals a day for 6 months.

She owns a condo but has no access to garden with her own garden or even a community plot, so I have been teaching her about container gardening. This weekend we set up a pretty nice assortment of veggies that she is now growing on her balcony.

I was impressed and proud of her. She is only 23 and she definitely has her head square on her shoulders. She does not have her head in the sand and cowering but planning for the inevitable. I am praying it just isn't as bad as the experts are saying it will be. She even got the attention of my 82 year old Mother.

    Have my seeds and ready to plant. All organic. Not much gold or silver though. Honey! I need a new ring!

Good for your niece planning ahead. My 22 year old is insisting that we have chickens who lay eggs on the property. But that's the extent of his thought process. :)

    Awesome Yvonne.

I'm happy to hear that, I too am planning on following I have saved my jewelry as some are selling it incase this happens. I've been hearing about this for about 5-8 years now on a Christian station.

They were offering brochures and information on where to purchase but they were sold out and never received brochure. Now 5 years or so later I've been hearing this even through a Matt Monarch affiliate who was talking about the economy.

I heard this mans discussion and webinar and I pretty much already new because his motto was to be rich and not have to work and be able to have everything I ever wanted. Well I didn't sign on because I had to pay to get the info to help me. Figure I can do it without paying for info and try to pay careful from who I buy my silver and or gold.

I'm signed on to Wealthcycles.com and goldsilver.com through same company and I get free info from them.

I hear there's another war brewing as well so our economy isn't looking to good with unemployements rates and lay offs. Pretty scarry when you're alone but I have Faith and God will look out for me is all I have to believe.

I've been planning on doing my little mini garden and you just reminded me on an email I got from Federick honoring several people one of those people was Urban Organic Gardener - Mike Lieberman who created his own garden from a 2X3 fire escape in NY City. He now lives in Los Angeles and has his successful blog
You can check him out here: http://www.urbanorganicgardener.com
/

Well I'm glad I'm hearing this more and more so I know I have to take care of myself and start buying silver ingots since this is what I can afford right now.

I drink distilled water also yumm so sweet tasting I think.

Thanks for the reminder.

My thoughts for today...

Friday, April 06, 2012

So far today, God, I have done all right. I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, over-indulgent, coveted my neighbor's spouse or taken your name in vain.

I am very thankful for that.

But, in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed. And from then on, everyone that I encounter will probably need a lot of help from you.

Amen!
