What can Love do

I think this is crazy.  This teen who is 18 years old, tried to off his mother so he could sell some things and pay for his finance (21) to get breast augmentation.  Seriously?  I’m not really sure what this kid was thinking.  So Nikita Weis offered two men $7,000 to kill his mom. LOL..  He planned on selling his mothers car and to empty all her bank accounts so his 21 year old girl could get some fake boobs.

But the best part, his mom (42) foiled the whole thing when one of the men entered her home and she set off her car’s panic alarm and scared off the intruder.  The son was home at the time and his girlfriend was waiting outside of the house during the break in.  (awesome!!!)  So the teen and his girl were booked on conspiracy to commit murder and they mentioned that there were going to bury the body in New Mexico or Arizona or some remote location. lol

American Airlines is now charging for all checked luggage on their flights. Something like $15 for the first bad and $25 for the second. I understand that they are losing money because of fuel prices, but aren’t we all?

I think this could be a recipe for disaster. It really could be, travelers might stop flying cause the prices are through the roof. Maybe not. Maybe this is what American Airlines thinks will make the airline profitable. For me this and the fare increases will probably delay our summer trip to see the family in Seattle, cause it’s too expensive.

Gas in Grand Prairie - A local gas station was giving away 200 prepaid $40 gas cards yesterday. But was it really worth the wait in line? For this one local woman, she showed up at 4am and when the promotion started she was one of the first 10 to get the cards. Wow 6-7 hours really? for less than a tankful of gas? I think it’s great they are doing it, but even though the gas prices are hovering around $4 per gallon here, I think 6-7 hours of my time is worth more than sitting waiting for a prepaid card worth $40.

Stars - Well they didn’t make the cut. Better luck next year. (see that is short :))

And not so local:
Colorado - Huge tornado rips up some towns and kills 1. If you haven’t seen the video your local news or CNN or pretty much anyone has, you should watch it. It’s crazy… Click the CNN link.
