Aw, just shut up already.
In our house growing up, we weren't allowed to say "shut up." Mom, Dad, if you're reading this...I'M NOT IN "OUR" HOUSE!!! 
So I can say what I want. (PS: Please don't cut me out of the will....I am in the will, aren't I?)
Anywho, my rant today is about the ranting about gas prices. I'm tired of hearing it (and hearing myself say it). Carpool. Stay home. Get a Prius. Walk. Move.
This is a global issue...in other words, more that just ME is affected by this. I happened to live in a country where people have almost nothing. They can easily spend a week's wages on a bottle of kerosene with which to light a lamp. Make that two weeks now. And what choice do they have? Not so much...
So let's shut up. We have options. We have freedom. We have choice. And, truth be told, we have money.

I am so telling mom!
nuh-uh.
I agree with you Brett. You won't hear me complain.
BTW, Shut-up is not allowed in our house either, so Alex says "put it down, Skippy". I'm not sure why. Nevertheless, it is allowed.
Skippy, thats a name I haven't heard in a while.
In Zaire, the Swahili phrase was "Acha Fujo, We!"
What made you think you ever were in the will? Anyhow we are spending it all on gas so there will be nothing left even for the favored sisters. is that the same as disinheritingify?
Oh no, my mother disinheritedingified me. It looks like it is annoyingify time!!!!
And BTW, what my parents DON'T say is that they have no problem buying gas to go to Brownie fashion shows, Pine Wood Derbies, T-Ball, V-Ball, B-Ball, F-Ball, X-Ball, DD-Ball, dance recitals, parades, concerts, poetry readings, doctoral disserations, etc. for the favorite sisters children because "they're our only grandchildren."
Meanwhile, Shadrach got a new squeaky, and where are they? All of the sudden, gas is too expensive.
Brett, will you just shut up already?
Let's all start calling Dayton "Skippy".
And, Brett - I agree with your post COMPLETELY.
I'm not going to apologize, I will offend, and I will disagree. Gas is affecting me and its affecting a global economy. Corn driving up prices of everything because we choose to make it into fuel. Corn being used for fuel causing shortages of food throughout the world. I have no choice to take a bus, drive ethonol cars, smart cars, dumb cars, or even environmentally expensive cars although we call them friendly. I drive the most fuel efficient car that I can, and I am still not making ends meet. Yes, I am blessed with means, but I have to watch now more than ever.
And then there are the parents - I have been at CH for two years and my 'rents have been here twice, only now they can really blame it on the gas prices!
I remind you Greg, my parent's, aka your parent's dont ever drive alllllll the way to my house, unless they are heading to our sister's church to see her, then amd only then am I a "potty break" on their way home.
So, I suggest you keep yer bitchin to a realistic level!
But now, Barb, they will have to leave even earlier so that the ambient temperature outside which is optimal for maximum fuel efficiency will be within range.
And yes, Brett. It is appropriate to converse with siblings via someone elses blog site.
Wow... Barb and Greg going at it... who'd a thunk?! LOL! I'm with you, Brett... it's an inconvenience, but not one that will stop me from going or doing what I have to do. And I have teenagers... that have their own car... that their dad (my wonderful hubby) gives them money to put gas in... but I'm still not complaining. Life could be WAY worse. OH yeah... I have a new blog... check it out.
Preach it, Brett! Preach it!
While you're at it, quit inhaling all those gasoline fumes!
Great Political Cartoon that I just read had a big man representing the West standing in front of some starving children from africa holding a big bag of corn. The caption read, "Oh no - you can't have this. This is for ethinol so I can power my SUV."
