How's Your Day? Archives

Good enough for kitteh! The only thing worse than that kid swatting the cat is how the parent probably thought it was cute up until their "precious snowflake" got what they deserved attacked.

Sorry, had a childfree moment there. I meant no disrespect to children in general, or to parents for that matter. If you have kids, and you love them, good on ya!

Hopefully that munchkin has learned his lesson and won't try to hurt any more animals.

 

Sometimes I am amazed by people. If that was my kid, the video would never be online. Oy

Well, one of these days where I am running errands all day long. Drop kid off at camp, get shopping done, go get bunny, go to vet, take bunny home, get some more errands done, go pick kid up at camp.. at least the price is down to $4.

 

You forgot "Set kid on bed with cat. Turn on video. Tell kid to swat cat."

 

Price of what? Gas? Sounds like the gas stations in Indiana are in cahoots. Here in Mississippi, Regular is $2.89, Premium is $3.10

 

Well, I am close to Chicago and in the three county area of Northwest Indiana with special formulations and higher EPA standards. I filled up this morning at 3.85 per gallon, but when I got to LaPorte county it was 3.35 there. I think I saw the station near the vets office was 3.65 so it is starting to come down here as well. And yes, that is regular prices.

 

Ya think..

 

$2.89!!!! WTF?!?! I need to get my gas from Mississippi. Ours is like Etoyoc at about $3.85

 

Should I ask? The backward coyote can be had for $3.85?!

 

disrespect? see below:

+1000. Whoever was recording the kid bears primary responsibility. Eesh.

And as for gas prices- it's $2.87 at the station around the corner from my house. I can't believe that a) I think 2.89 is cheap b) the price has fallen by nearly a dollar over the past three months and c) I can get a backwards coyote for the low, low price of $3.85. One of those is worth at least $4. I mean, come on.

 

It's the maintenance fees and 2-year contract that gets ya.

 

I guess you do have to provide food, water, and shelter. Oh well.

 

Wow, gas is still 3.25ish here in Distraction... but, maybe that just means I'll be in luck when I fill up in Jackson here in a few weeks

 

And, on the subject of gasoline, I'm still willing to pay a little more for ethanol free fuel if it were made available more widespread, I've heard of a couple of stations that still sell it, but they're too far away

Wow, it just occurred to me that ethanol-free gas is the new vintage shave gear... it's better and lasts longer, but fewer and fewer places are selling it...

 

but, but, but... Distraction is a state of mind! And it's currently holding me hostage!

The question down here is not "how much will ethanol free gas cost?" but "where can I get the least ethanol?" There's at least one station that sells E85. Today it's going for $2.59 a gallon. From what I've read, E85 is more expensive to use in the long run. I must admit I was tempted.

 

There are quite a few zeroes missing there.. Try 3.85 bjillion

 

Does that at least include the maintenance and 2-year contract?

 

Check the lists for your state and cities at http://www.pure-gas.org That's how I find corn free gas for my ride. Filled up this morning for $3.19 a gallon for regular ethanol free. It cost slightly more but I get alot more mileage.

 

just checked and none within an hours drive. Actually, the closest may be almost 1.5 hours drive. But like I said, I live in an area with higher EPA requirements on the gas, so it doesn't surprise me. Sure, it burns cleaner. But you have to burn a lot more of it...

wow... I just loaded up their map. There is the this big circle around Chicago with no full strength pumps...

 

daughter has discovered Charlie the Unicorn.. it is all over now. Maybe I should just stick a banana in my ear.

 

I wish my gas was that cheap. In Edmonton on base I'm paying around $1.17/L which if my math is right, is around $4.43/Gallon.
