Seems that no one has "taken the reins" tonight, for the singles thread. I guess I'll have to.
What to talk about....
Anything we want to, really. I guess.
How about this??
Are the gas/travel prices going to affect your travel plans for this summer/spring??
In MY case--I KNOW it will.
Combined with me recently loosing my "secondary" job--I do not have the money to really go anywhere this summer. Nor did I really want to go to MB with my sister and cousin again, (it will be her 14th time there, or so--and would be my 6th time) to mainly be "there for the drive" for both of them.
So--no real travel for me. Things are in a mess anyway here. My mothers job is REALLY becoming a problem for her--an Arab woman is trying to "trump up" some things to get her fired. And I already spoke about loosing my second job. So--things are getting tighter and more tense here.
SO--lets ROLL!!
Actually my plans haven't, since I tend to travel more during the fall--read: football season. I use the summer mainly to work while everyone else is taking vacation, or in the case of a coworker of mine on the graveyard shift, work overtime during June and make some extra cash for football season that way.
We were all discussing these things today, and about the possibility of my mother no longer having that job. If that was to happen—We would be in REAL trouble here—combined with my no longer having my secondary job. It would not be long before we would face some serious financial hardships, MUCH more serious than we are now.
All in all--things are NOT looking very positive for my family at the moment.
It is that cumulative snowball effect.
Hooray for the sense of humor...
And chronic optimism that things will just get better if we all keep trying...
I just want to have another weekend—right now.
And then another weekned right after that.

BTW, both of your topics are good ones & it is really weird, I was in process of getting up a dream thread also.. how is that for coincidence?
