My sister lives in the mid-Atlantic region, and she says that they have had a very unusual winter this year. Lots and lots of snow. The past several winters there has been hardly any snow to speak of. This year they have had what would appear to be a traditional New England winter, with lots of it! Frequent, heavy, and lots of accumulation. She says that it has essentially paralyzed the region. I’m not surprised to hear that – the DOTs down there don’t plan for these types of things. They must be way over budget and winter is only half-way through! I’d like to be a fly on the wall when the next budget meeting is held and they decide that they need to raise taxes to cover the shortfall! The residents will not be happy about that at all!

I do like my chocolate, and when you throw in some peanut butter, all the better for me. I always have a bag of Reese’s Pieces close by to munch on. I just saw on TV that they are coming out with a dark Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate candy bar. I prefer my milk chocolate, but am always willing to try something new, besides they are now saying that dark chocolate is good for you.
You just gotta love how the Internet makes looking at car reviews so much easier. There are many website dedicated to assist consumers with their search for the perfect vehicle. I have been looking at some nice chevy silverado 1500 pics on Thecarconnection.com website that is filled with all the information anyone could ask for on new and used cars. I have always been a Chevy man and I can tell you that they (Chevrolet) is still cranking out some nice looking vehicles. The chevy Volt specs that I stumbled onto there were very interesting and the picture intriguing, to say the least. Check out this 2007 beauty:
I certainly would like to take advantage of the program that has been extended, the Cash for Clunkers program, before it finally comes to an end. A lot of people have taken advantage of this extension and I don’t want to be left out in the cold on the deal. I’m taking this offer seriously and hopefully my tax refund check will go a long way this year and I can use a good portion of it for a decent down payment.
I’ve even taken a gander at the honda element, now you can really fit a good amount of stuff in the back of this sport-utility. I have to say is an unique alternative to the other conventional sport-utility vehicles, with it’s awkward looking boxy shape, along with it’s dent-absorbing plastic body panels, and rear-hinged “suicide” back doors, it’s truly sporty and stands out from all the others. Not sure if that is good or bad in this instance. I do like to be unique but not necessarily standing out from the crowd. The older I get the more I feel the need to blend in most of the times, heck I don’t even want to put any bumper stickers on any of my vehicles any more.
The statistics are indicating that more people are in need of a good quality Private Alcohol Rehab center these days. With the economy in the toilet more people are turning to drugs and alcohol to ease the pain that has been dumped on most of us. The crime rate is on the rise as well due to the economy in crisis. People are getting desperate and we all know that desperate times call for desperate measures.
Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers are opening up all over and doing a booming business. Dr. Drew and his Celebrity Rehab show on VH1 brought the light to a whole lot of people who where and are in need of a good Drug and Alcohol Rehab. It isn’t just our celebrities that are struggling with addiction issues and problems, but seeing them through their struggle was the incentive that a lot of people needed to step up to the plate and get treatment for themselves, pretty cool huh?
The Internet is a great tool to find the best treatment centers and I would urge anyone to take a look around and see what is out there if they know of someone who needs treatment or if they need treatment for their own addictions before it is too late.
I think it is incredibly sad there there are people “out there” who are saying things like Haiti’s earthquake disaster is God’s vengence on the island for having made a pact with Satan. I would think that if God was that upset with people for having made a pact with Satan he would just smite those individuals directly responsible at the time of the misdeed and call it good. But to continue to take vengence for more than one generation on an entire country suggests an unforgiving entity, and I would really like to think that God is not that hateful!
