So in short YES we all can and will survive these teen years.
The May 15th Gas Out Won’t Save the World
Ever since I have been on the internet which has been about 8 years now I keep hearing about this great idea to have this gas out on a certain day the last few years it has been May 15th, every year I share the Snoops website stating it simply will not work its a good theory.
Here is the email I got this last night
Don’ t pump gas on may 15th
. ..in April 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon
overnight.
On May 15th 2008, all inter net users are to not go to a gas station
in
protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in
most places.

4 Easy Time Management Techniques
Have you ever taken the time to people watch and notice everyone is rushing from here to there, appearing to be as if they have no clue where they are going? Its common in major cities, and a common question from visitors is, ‘Why is everyone running?’ Instead of asking ‘Why is everyone in this hurry to get where they are going?’ Well it is all about time. They are late from lunch, or they may miss their bus, maybe even be late for dinner. It seems that no one realizes how much time and energy they are wasting worrying about time. How the realization of planning things has eluded us. So it’s time for us to start thinking about time management techniques so we can be more effective and get more positive results.
Planning
Every day or the night before, create a list of things that you need to get done, places you need to go, and appointments that need to be kept and so on.
Start at the top of the list
When making your list of things that need to be done, start with the important things first then second, third and so on until you have completed your list. Then work your way down the list, so you know you will get those things done if they are on the top of the list.
Stomping Out Negative Thoughts
Has this ever happened to you, a negative thought enters your mind? Have you ever said it even if you don’t mean it? I am sure most of us have at one point or another. Probably more often than we would ever want to admit. These thoughts are not only damaging to our self-esteem, they start a cycle of behaviors that tend to negatively impact the way we see various events in our lives.
