Glad those days are over, I love it now at $2.50 average, not to low and not to fucking high, as long as it is in a stable window frame, then it is workable for every one. But if you do not like it, you have the choice of supply and demand.

Back on track. In the context of the original question I must say that I have nothing. Or there is nothing.

Now family as previously stated of course but that's not what she asked.

Clearly the:

"Monster session with my ATF" Totally hedonistic luxury that is impossible to replicate in normal life.

Sex is like chocolate...once you have it and have it good...you can never do without it.

I kind of liked it high like $3.50 - 4 a gallon in 2008. It gave everyone something in common to bitch about. Young, old. Rich, poor, Black, White. Gay, Straight. Repub, Dem. etc. If you wanted to bond with someone all you had to say was something like, "Can you believe it just cost me ^&*^%% $120 to fill up my Tahoe?"

And I loved the bullshit out it gave people from doing things, like "You know I don't want to drive down the street to the movies/game/theatre/restaurant. Gas prices, you know!"

me too -- less traffic. Of course, I don't drive more than 1000 miles in a month -- and thats a high number. For me, variations in fuel costs are usually a rounding error compared to fixed costs (lease, ins, etc.).

That's because you haven't been addicted to me.

Funny, I was thinking of putting something in the post about the addiction to people like NB even though I have not met you. I have a feeling you'll be a drug hard to give up and that geography will be the only thing that offers restraint. You've already won my heart with your personality, and you've stolen my psyche to your visual beauty. You ARE the temptress and I am at your mercy.

I know: "get a room." We're working on it.

Obviously, not that hard.

My favorite little kitten slut:

I'd be utterly miserable if there weren't any little furry things around to love and play with. Then again, my animals are incredibly awesome.

This is my first post here in this section, so hello to all and I hope you don’t mind me jumping in every now and then.

The one thing that I cannot live without would have to be my dog. I consider him my luxury. He is a Rottweiler and I have found that they are not easy dogs to have, as most places will not rent to you because they consider them aggressive bread. It is funny though because my dog is the biggest baby ever and has never been aggressive, but that is a whole other conversation lol.

I found a place 4 years ago when I moved here to Nashville that would allow me to live here with him and I stay here mainly for that reason. It is a very nice apartment community therefore I do have to pay a higher rent than I would elsewhere. Although I have considered moving because of what I have to pay in the increased rent I would not be allowed to take him with me and there is just no way I could give him up. He is like my child and I cannot imagine seeing his adorable face every day when I wake up or once I walk through the door from a long day.

Yup. His "Reggae Music" legacy will always live on...

Mind!? Heck no. I for one am glad that you decided to stick around. Make yourself at home. For the most part this is a pretty tame crowd.
