That is exactly the point, one person cannot think of everything. Now how crazy is that Judge torturing those people over a pair of pants. I need a guy like that deciding my fate. It scares me.

This is good. It's Friday night and being a snivel servant I don't have to work weekends.... so hang on while I get the favourite beverage and snack, tuck the missis in bed, and let's have at it.

So, what about those people who consider themselves good drivers but they:

don't stop at stop signs
cut left turns at intersections
speed through controlled speed zones
take away your right-of-way when you are trying to maintain your space cushion
insist on trying to read the bumper sticker you don't have

Yes, I know, I am a sad sorry little man.....

WTF was a gallon of regular $3.09 last month and just about daily crept up a cent or 2 to reach $3.33 now??? Should every other business adjust their prices to match? I'm wondering if my new boss will jack my pay rate to match(ya think???) Man........you wanna start a post about gripes? I'm up for it!!!

Dropped by a gas station on the way home the other week which had always been a 'big name' franchise. I noticed that they had switched to being a 'small name' franchise with prices a few cents a litre less than everyone else. For you Canadians, that would be Mohawk before and Fas Gas after.

When I got talking to the owner she said that one of the reasons they switched was because of pressure from the company for franchisees to adjust pricing depending on whether there was a public holiday coming up, whether it was the end of the week, or even the time of day it was (higher prices during morning rush hour, lower through the day, then higher again in the evening rush hour)...... Apart from the competitive price they also offer a volume purchase discount... once you hit $150 in purchases, which is easy to do at a 230km round trip commute every day, you get 2% cash back.

She promised that their prices would reflect the real market cost of the gas they sell. Well, as far as cost is concerned they are still a few cents less than the nearest stations, but the price has gone up 3 cents a litre in the last week.

why I have to bust my ass to make a living and have to smile while I hand my hard earned money over to a those that cant balance a budget but can legislate laws to make it easier  for the banks to screw me over.

The drought in Oz is so bad I have to bathe in imported beer and make my coffee with Kentucky Bourbon for water. It takes a little getting used to, but I'm coping. Thanks for your concern Bobby, and if you've got a few gallons of JD that you can spare, I'd be happy to pay the shipping?

I would suggest Rebel Yell for bathing since they leave the saw dust in it. I would save the JD for sipping. All kidding aside, I was reading about that that drought and it seems pretty dire. We of course have been flooded here in the Northeast US. One would think the water would want to settle at the bottom of the Planet. I am sure Two Tired will give us 3 pages on physics, meteorology, and quantum mechanics.

What.....no bathing in sheeps milk, Terry? The Egyptians bathed in asses milk, so I figure that sheeps would do since you have so many down there.

[TwoTired]

All kidding aside,...

Perhaps I can't stop being an engineer anymore than you can stop being a policeman?

Perhaps you'd enjoy the forum more if I simply refrained from posting altogether?

Or, perhaps I should submit my posts directly to you for prior approval so you can edit for length and content, mr officer, sir?

Actually you may be psyhic, I was a Policeman once upon a time, but I work as an engineer training other engineers for a major Rail Car builder. You see Lloyd, I knew you are an engineer by the way you write, and your are bright. Since we are birds of a feather I knew exactly how to push your buttons. It was a joke, just a joke. But in Keeping with the title of this thread, I am glad you got it off your chest!

Dude, I cropped as low as I dared without  Heffay or Glenn shutting me down. Man it broke my heart cause it is all good from the top to the bottom.

[Terry in Australia]

Well I initially thought TT was being a little overly-sensitive, then I realized that this is the "Get it off your chest" post, so my apologies for thinking you're being a little "precious" TT, in fact you are using this thread for it's intended purpose, so more power to you!

What.....no bathing in sheeps milk, Terry? The Egyptians bathed in asses milk, so I figure that sheeps would do since you have so many down there.

All the sheep dried up and blew away months ago mate, at the moment I'm living on Kangaroo's and Emu's, there are plenty of Asses left though, but I've never seen milk come out of one, ha ha! (sorry.......) 

Terry, are you serious can you not get Jack Daniels down there, I perfer Crown royal myself

No mate, you'd be breaking no laws that I'm interested in, and as Bobby says, you can sleep well knowing that you've done a great thing for a dehydrated Aussie!

G'Day Bobby, well it is pretty bad, we've actually had a little rain over the last few days, but our water reserves are below 30% and the government is going to stop farmers using the rain for irrigation, so that sucks.

What I can't understand though, is if Global warming is making the the polar ice caps melt, causing the seas to rise and some countries are facing going under water, why can't our government take advantage of this and build some big-ass desalination plants and make some good use of all that salt water wasting away in the sea? But then again, what would I know? Ha ha, Cheers, Terry.



 

[BobbyR]

Terry, it is dire circumstances that bring about change. We made a quantum leap during WWII. We had 6 inches of rain in one day and it turned a 40 minute commute into a two hour adventure of fording streams in my non Eco friendly SUV. I think desalination is coming. I just had a thought, maybe the water is flowing to the bottom. Is it possible that someone has been mounting the Globes upside down all these years? I think I will have a Makers Mark and ponder this in more depth. Black Jack is for parties, Makers Mark is for serious contemplation. Terry, if you run short of water, just drop by and I will spot you a few Gallons and something proper to flavor it with.

Phew, I thought you guys were talking about waxing the nipples or something.

My god, your government IS powerfull.  They can keep rain off farmers fields ! ?

Your government must suck in a different way than I imagined!

There must be a joke about bathing here, or sheep dip.  Perhaps combining the two activities will net yet a third activity more commonly encountered.

Ha ha, Cheers,
