Seems that no one has "taken the reins" tonight, for the singles thread. I guess I'll have to.
What to talk about....
Anything we want to, really. I guess.
How about this??
Are the gas/travel prices going to affect your travel plans for this summer/spring??
In MY case--I KNOW it will.
Combined with me recently loosing my "secondary" job--I do not have the money to really go anywhere this summer. Nor did I really want to go to MB with my sister and cousin again, (it will be her 14th time there, or so--and would be my 6th time) to mainly be "there for the drive" for both of them.
So--no real travel for me. Things are in a mess anyway here. My mothers job is REALLY becoming a problem for her--an Arab woman is trying to "trump up" some things to get her fired. And I already spoke about loosing my second job. So--things are getting tighter and more tense here.
SO--lets ROLL!!
Well, we could discuss how long bit of food has to rest on the floor (after falling from your plate) before you would refuse to eat it.

Well—as of 15 minutes ago, NO ONE had a thread. (And I DID check!!)
So, at least I tried.
I see I messed up again.
Shoot me
No, dude...
This is a historic First—and a challenge to us. Can we keep two threads going at the same time? Is there enough of a following?
There was the proposed split—hey, this could be a trial run...
I don’t see why we can’t keep both running...
Nah, you’re good to go. I was wondering why I hadn’t received my Friday nite invite! lol
Can we talk about anything? I just applied for my concealed carry permit. Yee Haw !
Eww. No 10-second rules at my house!
For me, I don't think that gas prices will have a big effect on my travel plans. My little Saturn gets nearly 40 mpg on the highway, and the only big trip that I usually take in the summer is going home to see my folks. The price of gas could make the trip a little more expensive, but I make a good living and live carefully. I can afford to pay a little more for that trip.
A more interesting question for me will be whether I'm up to kayaking this summer. The truck that I use to carry the kayak doesn't get good mileage, but I just didn't have much energy or incentive to try kayaking last summer. If I'm still lacking energy this summer, then the price of gas will be irrelevant. If I feel more like doing things, I might end up doing more trips that are closer to home than I would if gas were cheap.

LOL That depends on where it lands!
Congrats! I have the paperwork for mine.....but am procrastinating about it.
That's a good topic as well. Where do you live? How much training did you have to do?
I’m a poor nursing student ... but can afford the gas. I would have to sleep on the ground where ever I landed though! *ha*
Good point...
I've done that a few times myself.
I am more of a “three second rule” person. If the surface is rather clean, then I may push it to five seconds.
When I was young.....I didn’t mind it so much. My bones are getting too old for that. *chuckle*
LOL I know that feeling too.
