Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
$4 a gallon has already caused us to change our lifestyle. Staying home all the time, combining trips very carefully, let’s don’t even talk about what it has done to the cost of food. But I just read that we should brace ourselves for worse.
Our government has it within their power to ease the situation, but because of a few environmentalists, the powers that be have chosen to tie their own hands.
If the price of gas has brought on financial ruin had a negative effect on your family, here is a petition you can sign, if you have about 60 seconds to spare. But hey, we’re just sittin’ around the house savin’ gas money anyway, right?

At this point I don’t think the gas prices have strangled our life any. I actually like staying at home and not running around as much. It’s causing us to be creative with our time and resources. We will probably “camp” in the field in back of our house and have “camp fires” in our back yard fire pit. We will swim in our blow up pool instead of Lake Michigan. We will harvest from our own garden when possible rather then go to the farmer’s market weekly. (Which is on a different day then my regular grocery shopping.) We will play croquet and swing on our own play set rather then run to the park a lot. We will read in the shade of the trees. All that said… I do not wish for gas to go higher. That’s when just living will get hard. I’ve asked for a bicycle for my next big present- anniversary, birthday, Christmas. I think my husband will get one for his birthday too. Then we can all bike the five miles or so to church. (Won’t that be a sight to see… look at hugely pregnant lady on the bike with the plethora of kids.) I also think it is worth our time as ladies of the house to figure out what grows wild in our areas that we can harvest for food if needed. If gas keeps going up so will food prices.
Oh Yes….. Gas prices are changing everything.Glad your pirates can sail a ship. We are all treading financial waters, and our legislature in Louisiana just voted themselves a 300% pay raise on June 10th. Greed has a stronghold in some lives. Thanks again for the insights and funnies.I hope your feet are feeling well.
Love and laughter, Theresa
Yes…gas prices=bad. What I really wanted to say, though, is that I found my way over here from your friend Kim at “Life in a Shoe” and I am delighted to be here. Girl, you have quite a sense of humor and I’m sitting here cracking up! I’ll enjoy visiting with you and your band of pirates. We have a little pirate here, too. When hubby and I went to the beach I decided to buy son a beach towel with the Jolly Roger and the phrase “Surrender the Booty”. Hubby was quite unsure at first, until I assured him that the phrase doesn’t mean the same thing to a 8yo pirate as it would to, say, a crazed college pirate on Spring Break!
