I took the "Hello" to be a subliminal admission of guilt. So they are halfway to true repentance. Admission of Guilt is the easy part- As we can all attest, TURNING from said sin is REALLY hard. I am off to Wal-Mart in a bit... anyone need me to grab them some groceries. Buying my own groceries just isn't enough of a buzz anymore.

Yes Ezri, I am almost out of peanuts. You know the big bag that has the peanuts still in the shell? It would be lovely of you to pick some up for me.

You know what is sinful? Gas is creaping up closer and closer to $4/ gallon! I'll be glad when we sell our home. The three hour weekend trip between home and work is getting expensive.

What is truly confusing to me is that diesel is 70-80 cents a gallon higher than regular. Anybody know why?

Because truck drivers use diesel and they really don't have a choice in the matter so Oil companies know they'll get it.

Well, I confess that I went grocery shopping, then I went and ~~took out a second mortgage~~ gassed up my car. However, in my defense, at the grocery store, I did pick up the fixings to make smores...

Well I kinda expected that... If you did, I'd be asking, "Who is this and what have you done with my buddy Phosy?"

So far, what I've been able to figure out is that the demand for diesel coming from Europe (and other countries smart enough to figure out how much better it works than gasoline) is creating a bit of an imbalance. In the US, cars are 99% gasoline, so there's a bit less competition.

Shouldn't we be raising and growing our own food in our own fields? If we are doing this then there is no reason to be grocery shopping.

Laura, For shame!

Don't you know that this is a serious no-no as well? (Seeds have to die for crops to grow... imported wisdom from a real knowledgeable guy...) If not, maybe you should read all about it here.

It's scriptural for seeds to die. Kinda like Jesus being put in the grave and all that. But I never read about anyone fertilizing Jesus in the grave. Perhaps that is why that gardener was there when the gals showed up the next morning. (thinking about what fertilizer is made of I am sure that God must be glaring at me right now. If not God than maybe Jimbo or Ezri).

<-- edited by me

*pulls on her hip waders*

I think that the question of using fertilizer on dead seeds being scriptural or not should be another thread. We have far too much controversy with the grocery topic to really dive into the fertilizer topic and do it justice here.

By the way, I finished off the cheddar chex mix I bought at the grocery store yesterday. Is that a sin? They were so yummy...

did you mix it yourself or did you buy it premixed? That is the question.

I suppose it's best if someone else does the work for you and you reap the rewards...

Wait... that doesn't sound right....

With cats, it's THEIR job to sit back and supervise while their people do all the chores.
