I haven't really kept up on Gustav...is it a hurrican yet? is it getting close to you? now I'm gonna be all worried about you.It takes something like this to make me realize that my microwave thing and the electric thing were miniscule compared to your worries right now.

everything has no increased............we cannot afford fresh vegetables, they are highly highly priced for a small amount, and this being summer, should be a cheaper time to buy them!

Even our own Ontario Peaches we have now for a month are sky-high, now that is just insane, c'mon, they are right here!

bread, a sheer loaf of bread is well over 2.00!

gas prices have now raised 4cents for our upcoming long weekend, they do this every weekend, but on the long ones raise it even higher!~

mortgage

property taxes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they rise on an average of 3% each year here!

water

electricity

cable

phone

car insurance for two vehicles

drug stores, prescriptions

groceries

odds and sods



geez!

Hey SouthernYankee,



Geeze, are you ok...we were so worried about you. Guppy created a thread about Gustav.



I'm hoping by now your hubby is home. Heard that they evacuated all the people from the oil rigs.



What will you do if the storm worsens? Do you have a plan....I'm sure you do:-6



Stay safe now:-6
