Gas "Cheats"
11:33 AM
Well as the price of gas is just out of control, and as I am headed for two long car trips this summer, I have been looking things up. This is what I've found to try to help get the most out of your gas costs...
Fill up in the mornings. Underground gas tanks are cooler and you will get less vapor and more actual gas going into your tank.
Do not fill up if a truck is dumping gas into the underground tanks. The dirt will be stirred up and you will not get the best gas.
Fill up on the slowest setting. Most nozzles have 2-3 settings for automatically filling your tank. Filling it more slowly will result in less vapor and more actual gas going into you tank.
Hey, I figure it can't cost more for gas to try these things, and if there is ANY stock in them, I'll take even a couple cents per gallon saved at this point!!! :)

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you

Hey RockStar- Do you drive these long trips alone with all those kiddos? I dont' think I would do it with 1 much less 4!!! :) But I am not a RockStar in that department. :)
Last summer I drove the 3 I had to TN by myself and it went great. At Christmas my mom and I did the FL trip but I did most of the driving. :) This summer we are doing FL and Niagra, by myself again, we'll see...
