Cost of gas up about 9 cents in the last 3 weeks


The twice-monthly Lundberg Survey has found the price of regular gasoline has risen about nine cents a gallon over three weeks to $3.08. The price of mid-grade gasoline is now $3.22 a gallon and premium is $3.33 a gallon. The price of gas is just suppose to increase.

I better start saving now just to be able to make it to school at those prices. I also heard it will soon be over 5 dollars by next year. Now all these hybrid cars are coming out but the problem with that is no one can afford that. So lets see people cant afford gas nor hybrid cars. We are stuck.

More young people are winding up in nursing homes


About one in seven people now living in nursing home facilities in the U.S. is under 65. This challenges the patient with not only physical but mental issues for example the feeling of being isolated. "It's just a depressing place to live," Martin says. "I'm stuck here. You don't have no privacy at all. People die around you all the time. It starts to really get depressing because all you're seeing is negative, negative, negative."

Now days more people are getting surgeries that causes them to need extra help; therefore they get put into the nursing homes. I think it is a good idea so in case if there was any accidents they have help. Many families lose touch with there love ones because they might not have time to see them in the day to visit them in the nursing home, then the patient feels trapped.
