Bad Credit Can Be Fixed

I have bad credit, mostly due to playing so much World Of Warcraft that I kinda forgot to go to work for a while. I wondered what to do for a while, but then I found that there are bad credit credit cards that are designed to help people like me who have bad credit to get back on their feet. (As for not playing world of warcraft…well I have yet to find the proper help group for that, but I can assure you that there will be one available soon, because its about as addicting as cocane).

BadCreditOffers.com gives you a good overview of some popular cards, and what options they have. It also tells you if they are secure or unsecure (meaning you have to put money down to back the line of credit or not), and they offer a ranking system to tell you which cards are the most popular.  This is a great way for many of us who have bad credit to find a starting place to help rebuild.

American Idol Top Twelve Performances

What was up with the performances tonight?

Kristy Lee Cook raped a good song.

Carly screamed (like she always does).

Brooke was good.

David Cook was good.

Chikizie was good in a weird way.

Everyone else not so much..Yes you David Archuleta.  David was a disappointment tonight as well as several others.  The worst of the whole entire night was Kristy Lee Cook.. if  you watch her sing this song, it will make you hurt inside.  I personally think that David Cook was the best.

Gulf Oysters Are Yummo!

Who does not love to grill seafood with friends and family around, the bbq grill fired up, playing football down by the beach…ahhh those are the days. Some nice Gulf oysters with a little garlic and bacon…maybe a little bit of lemon.

You should be aware of Vibro Vulnificus though, and how oysters can be treated to reduce the risk of this bacteria.

Vibrio vulnificus is a gram-negative bacterium that occurs naturally in warm, unpolluted seawater.

Most normal people would not be affected by vibro vulnificus, but if you have liver disease or cancer or a few other types of diseases you could be at risk. There are 3 different post harvest methods to reduce these risks, which are: IQF (fresh-frozen technology), heat cooled pasteurization, and high pressurization processing.

Why Are Gas Prices So High? Is It Greedy Oil Companies?

Fact: Gasoline Prices Are At An All Time High

They are going to get higher.  But why?  Many factors affect the price of crude oil, and ultimately gasoline.  One major influence is the economy.  The US economy is weak (understatement of the year right?) and because of this weakness, and the dollar losing ground, people invest in crude oil as a “hedge”.  When the dollar falls, things like crude oil, gold, silver, etc.  become much more valuable.  Oil prices make up about 80% of the price of a gallon of gasoline, and those prices have increased about 20% because investors  are funneling money into commodities.

Believe it or not, the refineries are struggling to make any money at all.  They get blamed sometimes for the prices, but as I have stated above, the prices are influenced by investors, and the companies that own the actual oil.  The refiners are making about 6 dollars from every barrel of oil they process, when about a year ago they were making 35+ dollars per barrel.  They currently are only operating at about 85%, but I ask you where is their incentive to increase throughput when they can’t turn a profit.  So who is making money? BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, etc.  Thats where most of the profits go, and that is who is stuffing their proverbial pockets full of our hard earned money.
