Donating for a good cause
One of my readers asked me to help support and raise money for her sons elem. school by donating a door prize for their "Vera Bradley Bingo". I made a basket with only free items that have been posted on here and available to everyone.
I think they did a great job, the turnout was huge, and I am still upset that I didn't win a Vera Bradley Bag.I had a great time. Thanks for inviting me.

John Stossel ... Give Me A Break
I absolutely love John Stossel's 'Give Me A Break' segment on 20/20! It amazes me the conversations that get started in my house after watching it.
The best part is that you can join the tens of thousands of teachers across the country who have experienced the benefits of using these educational and engaging segments from John Stossel and ABC News' 20/20 in their classrooms.
While you are waiting on your DVD's, go HERE and watch streaming videos with ideas for further discussion.
Did I mention that I love John Stossel?!

Out of Gas!
I give up! Looks like I may be walking to work. I have been to three gas stations to get gas and this is what they ALL look like. I hate those yellow bags! Is it like this everywhere?! It seems like since they started enforcing the 'price gouging' law, nobody has gas. I need to vent here for a minute.
The 'price gouging' law is WRONG! Supply and demand should dictate prices. Let compitition in pricing work. If your gas is too high, I will go somewhere else or pay your price. That is my choice.
Is there really a logical reason for EVERY gas station between my house and my work (20 miles) to be out of gas? NO!
N.C. price-gouging law promotes gas lines, shortages (read full article)
RALEIGH -- Consumers can blame North Carolina's price-gouging law for the gas lines and shortages appearing in the wake of Hurricane Ike. That's the assessment of a John Locke Foundation analyst who has studied the unintended consequences of price-gouging legislation.
"Gas station owners are afraid to raise prices in light of threats of prosecution from state government," said Dr. Roy Cordato, JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar. "Because those owners refuse to raise prices, consumers continue to flock to the pumps, and the stations run the risk of running out of gas."

Promise Activ Supershots
I was diagnosed and started taking blood pressure medicine when I was 25 yrs old. It was unexpected and rather scarey. Thanks to products like SuperShots, I have not had to take medication to control my blood pressure for years.
Promise SuperShots are essential fruit blends which provide a good source of potassium consistent with the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan which has been clinically proven to lower blood pressure.
Potassium helps flush sodium from the body, which may reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Each 3oz Promise SuperShot contains 350 mg of potassium. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend 4,700 mg of potassium through a diet rich in potassium such as fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products.

...and all for just $17.22
I think I did pretty good on my "triple coupon" trip. I was almost out of sugar so, I stocked up on it. My kids (and me) love Quaker Oatmeal To Go. I am not home when they leave for school and if breakfast isn't something they can grab on the way out the door, they won't take the time to eat. Since I did not need anything as far as groceries, $17.22 is my total grocery spending for the week.
