No, that's not what I was saying.

Well, putting up with some of the wingnuts around here has become rather
difficult. I do look in from time to time so...



A dog lover, whose dog was a female and "in heat', agreed to look
after her neighbors male dog while the neighbors were on vacation. She
had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart.
However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and
moaning sounds, rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked together,
in obvious pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when
dogs mate.

Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although
it was late, she called the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice.

Having explained the problem to him, the vet said "Hang up the phone
and place it down alongside the dogs. I will then call
you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose his
erection and he will be able to withdraw."

"Do you think that will work?" she asked.

"Absolutely. It just worked for me." he replied.

:-)


Hang in there.

Those variable count however normally not in the ultimate price at the
pump. It is very common for one station to be cheaper than its sister
station one week and higher than its sister station the next. Its a
strategy to increase traffic.
It is the classic, "what the market will bare" business plan.

Evansville Shell Food Mart $3.52/gal they have higher taxes, about the
same property costs, about the same employee costs, the same fuel
transports costs, and higher levels of competition.

Oakland City Shell Food Mart 3.75/gal they have lower taxes, about the
same for property and employee costs, the same fuel transport costs they
haul their own fuel. Competition may be somewhat lower local, most folks
that live in Oakland City work in Evansville or Princeton where fuel is
cheaper.

AMOCO in Port Huron, 6.1 km (3.8 miles) from my house, premium 93

Filled up the Subaru, bought a 6 pack of Sam Adams Summer Ale, paid
for the trip across the Blue Water Bridge and back with 2 token ($2
ea) and still came out ahead by $ 12.00 if I had filled the car up
here in Canada with premium. Free Trip, free beer, plus 12 bucks in my
pocket.
(And, yes, Lew, regular gas WILL work but I prefer to use premium,
runs cooler and keeps deposits off the hot side.) Besides, the
difference between regular and premium is far greater in price in
Canuckistan than States Side. Converted and ignoring the fact that our
dollar is worth more, Premium 92(!!) is $ 5.33 per US gallon here.)
AND we got to save some money on groceries AND some non/low fat
products we can't get over here.

We did have a bit of a laugh as we go the Meijers to buy low fat
stuff, and there, on a display was....wait for it..... cheese in a
fookin aerosol can... Ang and I had this WTF look on out faces and
mused.

Not so much for the last 10 years, for all the obvious reasons.
Homeland Security, Patriot Act and all that.
(After all, if someone was going to smuggle a big kaboom into the US,
they'd go across a patrolled checkpoint, right? With 30,000 km of
porous border?)
We used to leave the yacht club in the morning, do a little fishing,
go across to any and all pubs along the Black River in Port Huron for
lunch and sail across back to Sarnia. Not a uniform to be seen. Now
there are 'Rules'. Mackinaw week-end was 'borderless' visiting boats
on both sides of the river, making friends and sharing laughter. All
done now. I still don't know what the hell we, as Canadians, ever did

I don't think that is the logic behind it. They screw us because they
can. Swedish booze prices are so insanely high, it has cut down on
drinking, of course the drunks now make their own.

They will pile taxes upon taxes on our backs till we finally break and
that won't be pretty. A close friend of mine is an engineer at one of
the refineries near here. His wife is an OR nurse. Her gross income,
was about the same as my buddy's tax bill last year. Ain't that a
fookin knee-slapper?

Keep a close eye on what's happening in Greece, Lew, you're looking at

Speaking of gouging, has anyone noticed the games Gillette is playing
with their blades. No more Atra--but plenty of $3+ cartridges in the
stores. I wrote them a letter sharing with them know how I felt about
it. No response yet. LOL.

Do what I did, I quite shaving in 1985, so far so good.

I do own a razor but I have no idea if you can get double
edge blades anymore.

Borrow or rent one on a rainy day, the though of that always keeps my,

I bought some a couple years ago for a razor knife. Of course, anything can
be found on the Internet. ;-)

Thanks for the link. What you say may be true, but Amazon is out of the
Personna blades that Gillette made for sale in other countries--where
people won't pay the new "stupid" prices (count me in, too). I think the
blades I named are about the same as the store-brand blades that fit
Atra. I think people have been stocking up. At Amazon, it says they are
now out of stock and not sure whether they will get more.

In my message to Gillette, I mentioned that I hoped their decision would
hurt their bottom line. I just want to help make sure people are aware
of what is going on and do anything I can do to help! : )

Yes,you can. Any drug store sells them. Many people have gone back to
the double edge razor in recent years. Back in the 70's, I tried a twin
blade, wrote it off as a gimmick and went back to the safety razor.

Or, you could do what I did. June 16 of this year, I was riding my Dyna
when some fool in a car wanted my lane and didn't seem to care that it
was occupied. I really don't remember much until I was on the ground
sliding along watching my bike ahead of me. When it bounced of the curb
HARD, I thought, "this is going to be expensive.
After coming to a stop, I started to check myself out. Everything was
fine until I lifted my left leg. The lower part of the leg had a curve
in it and my foot was pointed in the wrong direction. The doctor quit
counting pieces of knee and bone at 60. At this point, a wheelchair is
my main transportation. Doctor seems to think that I should be walking
by the end of September.

On a related note: I saw an ad for Stanley -carbide- utility knife
blades. Anyone use any yet? What do you think?

According to Satanley, 5x longer blade sharpness.

I haven't checked prices yet, but doubt they're cheap.
