The title says it all.. because, over at Mygallons.com that is just what you can do. You can save money by pre purchasing gas at today’s prices, then fill up with your MyGallons Card when prices rise. According to MyGallons.com no matter how high prices at the pump will go, the price of the gallons you’ve purchased will be locked-in.
A few good things the the MyGallons Card offers besides the easy sign up is the fact that they have 12 month money back guarantee if you don’t like their service then you get your money back. I also like the fact that the MyGallons Card is a pre-paid gas card. You do not need any credit history to receive a MyGallons Card. So they do not report to credit bureaus. You can only spend what you have on your card so if you lose the card (hopefully you don’t lose it) thieves can only spend what is on the card.
Here are the few simple steps:
- 1. Join MyGallons, receive your MyGallons Card.
- 2. Pre-purchase gas and lock in the price.
- 3. Use your MyGallons Card at the pump and save.
Example:
Buy 100 gallons of fuel when your MyGallons price is $3.50 per gallon.
Redeem them at the pump when prices rise to $4.00.
You save $.50 per gallon!
You can also check out this great offer to get a free pre-paid $250 gas card!

It seems here in Florida every other month I flip through the newspaper or catch a glimpse on the TV news that another teacher is having sex with a student. What in the world is the education system coming to..? To my knowledge the most recent teacher busted was a 60 yr old woman from Palm Bay apparently had sex with a 17 year old male.
Since the beginning of the year there has been 8 individual incidents that involve underage students and teachers. I remember growing up here in Florida there would always be that rumor going around school that if the girl slept with the teacher she would get a good grade but, that was always a rumor. I’ve never really known anyone who could actually vouch for the act. It seems now a days there are a lot more female teachers who are sleeping around. Check out the list below to see what I’m talking about.

According to wired.com it states… “the company’s promising a plug-in hybrid by 2010 and the German government’s written a big check to make it happen“. That would be pretty rad if they they make it to the states… I think I’d put one on hold if i could and i’m sure alot of Jetta owners would love to get their hands on one of them too.

If you’ve ever wanted to know how to properly give a High-Five the check out the steps provided by: Wired.com.
The Classic
1. Always initiate. He who launches the high-five owns the high-five. Engage your upper-arm muscles, keep your wrist firm, and propel your hand like the meteor of awesome it is. (Maintain altitude and an open hand — this ain’t no fist bump.) Your high-five can only surrender.
2. Don’t look at the hand. That looming palm is a moving, unpredictable target. Instead, keep your eye on the elbow; that’ll automatically line up your mitts.
3. Cup your palm. As you reach the high point of the arc, make your hand slightly concave to create that satisfying thunderclap.
If you check out the wiki article on Wired.com. You can gain the knowledge of the following as well…

It’s not my current house that i’m talking about it is my old apartment complex I used to live at in Metro West which was converted to condos (aka condo conversion). It seems that the news of the Orlando housing crisis has hit big news headlines like MSNBC. According to the MSNBC article there were alot of investors who purchased within the complex hoping to turn a profit. I could see why because when the housing market was booming the Metro West and Dr. Phillips area was the prime place to live. It provided a place with easy access to everywhere… 15 mins to Downtown Orlando, 5 mins to Universal Studios, and 10 mins to Disney World. However since the housing market has taken a dive so has the neighborhood… the crime has increased and so has the for sale signs.
When I was living in Metro West I actually lived in the place that is mentioned in the MSNBC article. The place was called the Hamptons at Metro West… However, it wasn’t always called that. When i first moved into the place it was called Park Avenue apartments. Then from my understanding when the company who owned it decided to go condo conversion the renamed it to The Hamptons.
Well I must say I am glad I didn’t purchase from there and I feel a bit sorry for the people who did. But, then again real estate is like a long time investment sometimes you get lucky other times you don’t.

According to the Wall Street Journal… LinkedIn Corp., has received a $53 million infusion from blue-chip venture capitalists that values the company at $1 billion. I don’t know about you but… $1 billion that’s a lil steep maybe if you combined the salaries of all the apparent 23 million users then I’d think it were worth that much.
The Chief Executive Dan Nye, of LinkedIn quotes “If you’re not on LinkedIn, you’re not on a professional network“. He also goes to say “LinkedIn’s average user is 41 years old and has a household income of $109,000“. For more information about the source topic please check out: The Wall Street Journal.
