The kids
The kids have been keeping us busy. Baby girl has set up an art museum in our sunroom. Baby boy has been in a very agreeable mood lately. I don't know what is wrong with him! (wink) Baby girl's recital piece is coming along. It looks a little hard, but I think it will be great! Baby boy started t-ball and loves to play. His first game is next weekend. I have taken some pictures here and there this week. I wanted to share them with you and a short video. I took 3 short video's, one in the wig, but I can't use two of them because I used the kids names in the videos. Mommy and Daddy say no toy guns, but they made an exception

This is a forward. I do know that some of the tips they give are accurate. I thought I would share the rest because it seems logical.

TIPS ON PUMPING/SAVING GAS I don't know what you guys are paying for
gasoline.... but here in we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per
gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so
here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon..
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in , we deliver
about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day
is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium
grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.
Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the
ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations
have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground
the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so
buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In
the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the
gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petrol eum products
plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal
for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature
compensation at the pumps.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the
nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has
three (3)stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on
low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are
pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping
on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor.
Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank
so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air
occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine.
Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves
as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes
the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every
truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is
actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping
into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most
likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered,
and you might pick up some f the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS! WHERE TO BUY GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled
about it. It might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting
American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to
boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into
the coffers of . Just buy from gas companies that don't import their
oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that
every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are
trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be
interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas
from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil. These
companies do import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil...............130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco...........................62,231,000 barrels
Citgo gas is from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans. If you do the math
at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now
$90 - $100 a barrel Here are some large companies that do not import
Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco..................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
B P/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels
ARC0....................0 barrels
If you go to Sunoco.com, you will get a list of the station locations near you. All of this information
is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point.... keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)...and those 300 send it to at
least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .. and so on, by the time the message
reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE
MILLION consumers !!!!!!! If those three million get excited and pass
this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been
contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it .....
THREE HUND RED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you have to do is send
this to 10 people. How long would all that take?

What are your thoughts?
My son has a fascination with my stomach. When I asked him why he responded, " I remember living in there." I didn't believe him so I asked him what it was like in there. He said, "Well it was dark in there. Every so often I could see your blood. When you moved sometimes your bones would jab me. I could hear your heart beat. There was also a shhhhhhhhhhhhh sound. Sometimes I could hear your voice."
He has never seen or heard about what it is like in the womb. He said all of this by himself.
Then today he said, "You remember when I told you about living in your tummy?" I told him I did remember. He said, "Mommy there was something in there that was squiggly like a monster." I asked him to draw in the air what he was talking about. He drew lines in the air like my intestines. Shorter lines up top and longer lines toward the bottom.
What are your thoughts? Could it be possible for him to remember?
I started to include is sono pic. I took it down because it had my full name on the pic.

Got Milk
Today baby boy looked at my chest. He said, "Mommy, I used to drink milk from there when I was a baby." I said, "Yes you did." He said, "Mommy is one for chocolate milk and one for regular milk?"

Pictures my sister too this weekend.
My niece ZOZO had her birthday this weekend. She is a special girl. My sister took the kids and they spent the night. It was not a good experience for them. Hubby and I had a great date night. We went to a comedy club. Here are the pics my sister took.

Becka Becka
Hubby's sister will be broadcast on tomorrow. Baby girl said, "Wow my family is really famous! First Cousin Crissy is in a movie, now Becka Becka is on T.V." Then I told her she will be on a news show. She said, "Is she on the news because of something good or bad?" Baby girl is too cute.
We are very proud of Becka Becka's hard work. She has really made a name for herself.
If you want to know what time she is on email me and I can tell you privately. I will only share with people I know because we need to be safe on the Internet.

We have been flamingo'ed by the youth!
A few minutes ago, I got up from bed because I couldn't sleep. I hear something and I think it is the dog making nose. Then I hear my door rattle and the storm door open. I start to scream. "GET AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.!!! [Hubby] call the police someone is trying to break in!" He runs in from the bedroom. I say turn on the porch light it might frighten them away. My heart was beating so fast. I didn't know which child's room to go to first. Hubby looks out the window and sees that we have been Flamingo'ed.
