    I haven't heard too much about it, but they say we are.

    And no, lol. Gas prices went up here again, for no obvious reason. I think I'm going to have to sell a kidney to afford groceries.

      I figured as much. Over here they are hyping the fact that America is on the up and we are still in the shit. It would seem the most secure jobs are at the job centre these days. Anyway, I heard Gas was cheap in America and I know cigarettes must be.....would you pay $10 for 20 cigs.... we do. I know about the grocery shop too, can't believe how much it all costs these days, ya know your getting old when you start chatting like that.....

        Gas is cheaper then it was, but it's climbing again. Slowly, but surely. Cigs are pretty high in Kentucky because of the taxes. We don't pay $10 for 20 of them, more like $3.50. In America it depends on what the state wants.

          Fuck, you can't even buy a pack of ten over here for $3.50..... even a loaf of bread is about $2.50. Still like everywhere, some things are expensive, some things are cheap. I'm still yet to find the cheap things.

  • To all those who use white fonts on black backgrounds
    *a message someone sent me* 1 The bright white words on dark black background is extremely irritating. It's like you're trying to burn this poem into my retinas and I don't really want that to happen. 2 I read through this pretty quickly because I don't have my welding goggles and, ok we covered that already.

  • I know this is a poetry site but......
    the way I see it this site should be fun or at the very least a pleasure to be part of.  I am a fairly new member so who knows what this place used to be like in days of old I have no idea but the amount of snide comments and remarks that are being flung upsets me. Yes, I get upset easily. Emotional issues. The
