Oh ok.

Ok, so I found it:

Against the wall - Micah Smith

The Price is Right theme song

[LaylaMonroe]

Wow, I'm only a few seconds in, but I LOVVVVE this!!! And I'm not even into this kind of music (you know I'm a choir chick), but this is great! It reminds me of something I'd play at a dinner party or taking a long drive with the top down (not that I have a convertible.... ).

CS: Getting something to eat and then heading home for the evening.

[BassbyGrace]

I thought it was the throughout the entire song. Still...

It is the same throughout.  If you listen to how he sings, the melody is the price is right.  Hope he doesnt get into legal issues with that.

True.

Well the insomnia is back. I have been awake for 24 hours and no sign of sleep coming any time soon. Absolutely exhausted bit the brain won't slow down enough to let me fall asleep. I feel delirious.

Your prayers, please.

You're in my prayers Sis. I know exactly how you feel, unfortunately.

Thanks sis. You and SisterT were the first people I thought of as I made that post. I finally crashed around 8:00 am and woke up around 12 noon. I guess that's better than nothing. *sigh* I appreciate your prayers, and I'm glad you're feeling better and getting back in the swing of things.

I have to keep telling myself it's not Saturday... that's what a Friday off will do to you...

I'm in that state of limbo where I've prayed about some things, and I'm believing God everything will work out, but I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen next.  A few things that have happened this week have actually been worse rather than better... my FAITH is getting a MAJOR WORKOUT, LOL!!!  But I'm determined!!!!  What the adversary doesn't know is that I've learned a few things this time around, the worse it gets, the more I worship... worship calms me, assures me, keeps me sane... it's like a secret place in the storm.   The more I focus on who God is, the more I realize that he's not surprised, threatened or intimidated by anything that's occurring in my life.  That's assurance.  I feel like I'm a different person right now.  Yeah, I've shed a few tears, but I'm not the panicked, hopeless, desperate girl I once was.  I serve THE AWESOME, POWERFUL, TRUE, and LIVING GOD.  Feels good.

Praise God! Keep the faith! God's grace is carrying you through whatever you are facing.

CS: So glad that one of my friends called me this afternoon (all I was doing was listening to a class on biblical interpretation, doing a little prep for Sunday school, etc). We had a chance to catch up. We haven't talked since she (we're just friends) went on vacation a couple of weeks ago. She's been a great support for me since December 2011 (when we got our friendship going again. We went to college together but we were like "hey and bye" friends and chatted every now and then) and especially since mom's passing as she's went through the loss of someone signficant in her life as well.

CS: Thankful for everything no matter what's going on. Missing mom but trusting God that He will continue to comfort me and that I'll see mom again and that mom is resting at ease (sorry for the run-on sentence...LOL).

Good word, Ness! And praise God for self-encouragement with the help of the Holy Ghost!!!

I just read an article that said it is illegal for people in NJ or Oregon to pump their own gas!!! Are you serious?

http://www.autoblog.com/

Wow ... in the article they even talk about the times people attempted to get self-service gas stations put in and the public voted no... I don't know I mean it may be nice to have someone pump your gas but ... why not just do it yourself?

poor  New Jerseyians (not certain what to really call them)

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/12/why-gas-stations-in-nj-pa-are-selling-8-gallon-gas-in-protest/

Over 50 gas stations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania have raised the price of their fuel to more than eight dollars a gallon. They are all Lukoil stations,

the article goes on to explain why these particular stations are doing it...i just didn't feel like quoting the whole thing

[nessalynn77]

I want to know why, but I don't feel like reading, lol!  I would assume that if only those stations are doing it, people will just go to other stations.

The article is actually pretty short... and pretty boring. LOL.

Over 50 gas stations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania have raised the price of their fuel to more than eight dollars a gallon. They are all Lukoil stations, and their owners have raised prices in protest of practices by Lukoil North America that they say leave individual gas station owners at a competitive disadvantage.

According to a report by the Huffington Post (full disclosure: HP is also owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the protest is a response to the high prices that Lukoil apparently charges its franchise owners for fuel. The owners of the gas stations contend that they are paying more for delivery than what competing stations are charging to the public.

Sal Risalvato is a member of the New Jersey Gasoline, Convenience, Automotive Association, and is one of the owners frustrated with Lukoil. "They essentially sell the very same gasoline to stations in close proximity of each other at different prices in order to game the market and compete with other gasoline brands," says Risalvato. The result of this practice, he claims, is pricing that may differ by as much as 25 cents a gallon between a given Lukoil station and a nearby competitor. In a business where some people drive miles out of the way for the cheapest gas prices, the effects of that disparity can be massive.

Protesting Lukoil franchise owners have upped their gas prices to eight dollars a gallon and beyond to raise awareness for these practices. Lukoil, Russia's second-largest oil producer, first arrived in the U.S. in 2003. Today there are more than 500 stations throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

New Jerseyans or Jerseyites (but I haven't heard Jerseyites in a long time). I think most people say Jerseyans.
