Jonesboro Information Blog

With gasoline prices constantly rising people are searching for the best local prices in new ways. The major search engines have stated a huge increase in the number of people searching for lowest gas prices. This new search request has spawned several new sites and added links to many more. Even Jonesboro Information has a link to “Gas Buddy” which reports on station prices locally. ( find it towards the page bottom in the center ) Many of these including Gas Buddy rely on local patrons to log in and list the local prices. With gasoline prices changing as often as two or three times daily in some places everyone is struggling to keep up with the price changes. But they can pay off for you the consumer at the pump as we all search for even a four or five cent per gallon savings.

Research from the gasoline index sites have shown mainly the families are searching for the lowest pricing as most single people have just accepted the increase and face it. But families when faced with rising costs everywhere and income staying the same are searching the hardest for any savings whether it be at the pumps or in the grocery store. With so many children involved in school sports or other after school activities when they would normally be riding the bus or walking have to be shuffled from one event to the other at the expense of the parents and this cost adds up quickly.

There are several sites for you to search if your looking for local gas prices including these;

www.fueleconomy.gov , autos.msn.com/everyday.gasstations , www.gaspricewatch.com , www.automotive.com/gas-prices , www.gasbuddy.com

There are several more and more evolving weekly as webmasters try to jump on board the rush for information. In your search for the best pricing on the ever increasing gas price we wish you the best of luck and hope some of the sites above may prove useful in your search.

About 175,000 Curious George Plush Dolls are being voluntarily recalled due once again to the level of lead in the paint used on the faces of the toys.

Many of the Valley View choir students were on hand at Chick-Fil-A, 1800 Stadium Blvd tonight to help raise funding for several of the events the choir has over the remainder of the school year.  The students were there waiting tables for tips, the money to go towards field trips, choir events, and special appearances that are made throughout the year by the Valley View choir.  The students were led by their teacher Ms. Jo Brinkle who actively supports the students in their activities.

Don’t forget that marvelous, confusing, act of congress to help further keep the public at large in bewilderment as to what congress actually does for a living!  Due to a new law passed the time changes have been rewritten and this Sunday, Nov 4, 2007 the clocks will roll back at 2:00am!

The schedule for 2007 was set as  March 11 to Nov 4 so if you don’t set your clocks back an hour this weekend, much to the amusement of many friends, you’ll definitely be early for any schedules this upcoming week.

Over the past few months I have had several requests to re print this post which deals with some very true and vital information about online behavior and watching what you say and even more what your children are telling someone online!  Thanks for the requests to re print this one and here you go.

Over the past several months there has been a huge number of reports of this story and it keeps surfacing on the net.  The story is attatched:

*****************************************************

******************************************************

This even lays claim to the fact (in this version at least) that you can find the story on www.nbc.com in the news listings it has never been found.  We checked with all the major news networks and can not find any report of the story anywhere.  We have checked with several state law enforcement agencies from various states and not one can confirm any kind of report to this nature.  Basically it sounds as though there was a disgruntled ex who tried to gain revenge via this report.

We do however feel there is a valuable lesson to learn here and some points that should be made to parents and a few things some people should be reminded of.  Parents please pay attention to whom your kids are “chatting” with online and what types of websites your children are subscribed to.  Many such as “myspace” were designed with fun and pleasant exchanges in mind.  It works well for these, but at the same time too many people get far too relaxed and give out too much personal information.  An online predator can find your childs friends names, often times phone numbers and addresses as well, the friends names can be used to put your child at ease by attempting to relate to your child through their acquaintances which leads to them feeling much more open and therefore more apt to give out personal information.  Many teens will often lie about their ages as well which puts several into other improper areas.  Most of these type sites were designed for adults to find dates and relate to each other.  Most all of these sites have a place to enter your sex, age, location, name and often more personal information, all of which is harmless unless it’s in the wrong hands.  Child predators, rapists, and other criminals search these listings when they need new people to prey on so PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS.  I mean is there any way you as a parent would hand your childs name, age, name of their friends, where they go to school and a list if their favorite places to go to a known child molestor or rapists?  But yet your kids may be unwittingly doing just that!

Even for adults who often find themselves getting into conversations with strangers online talking about things they would never tell someone who lives in their neighborhood may be doing just that.  How do you really know to whom you are talking or where they actually are at?  Just as easily as you enetered your home state and city correctly what’s to prevent someone else from lying about theirs and actually being just two blocks away?  We often get far to open and at ease when chatting about vacation plans online thereby letting a local burglar know when it’s best to break in, or when you are home alone and what your daily routines are, where you work, and where you go out at.  So please use sense when chatting online and do not give out information which may get you into big trouble.

While the story of “imahustlababay” may very well be, or then again may not be “urban legend” it really doesn’t matter, be careful, watch your kids online, and keep a tight reign on personal information no matter how insignificant it may seem to you at the time.  We can all enjoy the internet and learn many things from it, just make sure learning the right way to fill out a burglary or rape report is not one of those things you learn.

Ok it’s that time again!  Happy Halloween and be careful out there.  All the usual apply here as you should well know by now but we will run it by you just in case and to remind us all.

Make sure your kids can be seen, either brighter clothing or reflective goodie buckets or flashlights.  In the past few years, thank God, there has not been as much of the deranged candy givers as in the past years but some are still lurking out there, please check candy before the kids eat it.  If you have any doubts about a piece of candy PLEASE throw it away or alert local authorities.

When driving be sure and slow down and be poised to brake quickly as the little ones will be darting out between cars and from nowhere directly in front of moving cars as the excitement builds in them and they forget every rule they know about traffic safety for the night.

If you want to pass out candy be sure to leave an outside light or two on and if you choose not to participate please turn off your outside lights so people will know to pass by your house and not ring your doorbell.

Thanks to everyone for having a good time and providing the kids with a fun, safe night to enjoy the trick or treating.  Some of my favorite childhood memories are of halloween and the trick or treating, I hope yours are too and that the littles ones of today feel the same way in several years!

Thank you!

I hope to be back soon, I am recovering from the spinal block and starting to get around some but mainly am being able to stay awake for a little more at a time!

Sorry I haven’t been here like I should be lately, I stuck a jackhammer into my foot some time back and they have recently changed my medications for it and it’s left me somewhat unable to tend to my routines.  I am sorry to let many of you down and look forward to being here more frequently as time goes on and keeping everything up to date.

 If anyone has information on RSD would they please share some insight with me?  That has been one of my recent diagnosises and has me concerned somewhat now that they are talking about a sympathetic nerve block inserted into my spine.

Thanks and I miss you all very much and look forward to returning to my normal routines soon.
