    Post What You Just Paid For Fuel - And Where

    We often see as much as 25-30 bucks a fill savings with the TA discount AND we get a shower! :D We paid $3.83 for #2 diesel yesterday at the Pilot in Clear Lake, IA.

    A degree in what? Basket weaving? What about the ability to make a decision? What degree out there applies to the job of president? What would be a good degree? What would be useless? Yeah, I know, no degree is useless. A degree without experience to back it up and we end up with what we have...

    That video worked, most don't on this computer. I DO like the words to that song. That is how everyone should live. Thanks for putting it up.

    The point system is something the I use. I assign values to experience. School is the lowest value. Without practical usage education is only theory. I use it as a vetting process. Not that it has done much good with the lack of quality candidates we see. Obama has a TON of education and...

    Your cash is no good -- on the roads, that is.

    IF they do NOT accept LEGAL U.S. tender for a debt then the debt is NOT legal. IF the toll taker does NOT speak the language then they can stuff it. If our money is NOT legal for ALL debts, public or private, then there is NO use for it and it no longer has value for ANY purpose.

    Minorities vs entitlements

    While I believe that military service SHOULD be required for public office the Constitution does not ask for it. MAYBE we should have an "informal point system" to help vet candidates. Our news people will NOT vet candidates fairly, maybe a point system could help. Points for military...

    Wisconsin Union Woes

    Put it this way. When my dad bought his house his ENTIRE house payment including ALL taxes was under $80 per month. That INCLUDES snow removal. His TAX only bill is now OVER $2300 per year, NO snow removal. MOST of those taxes go to schools, he is 88, NO kids in school and gets NO pay...

    Wisconsin Union Woes

    IF it is run off of a federal subsidy it is WORSE!! Why should truck drivers pay to give city people cheap bus rides? NO fuel tax money should EVER go to public transportation. Those systems should be their own way or go out of business. I cannot afford them. Even though I subsidize them I...

    Is that 37,000 wages or total compensation? If it is wages only that is not all that bad. What does she pay towards her pension? What does she pay towards her health care? As a federal employee I paid 7% towards my pension AND 40% towards my health care. NO ONE, except the military, should...

    Wisconsin Union Woes

    It does NOT matter what they earn or don't earn. They work for the TAX PAYER, not the city or the state. They, just by the math, earn more than those who pay them. The taxes to pay these people are putting people out of their homes. NO ONE is worth that.

    Viewing and Saving Electronic Logs

    Mrs. Layoushooter says to open the file on your laptop and then hit "control P" Let us know if that does not work. Maybe when we get back on later she can help more. She not only prints entire sheets but individual lines as well.

    I enlisted to "avoid" the draft. That makes me a "draft dodger"!! :p I never saw combat but I am a vet as all others who served are. I did the job that was mine to do to the best of my ability. I served with pride, honor and integrity. I ask nothing that I did not earn.

    Try getting that pension. First off, it is ALMOST nothing. Second, it is next to impossible to get a pension for service connected injury these days. I have been trying for more than 40 years and STILL have no final determination. The army has at least admitted that my injuries ARE service...

    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    We will NEVER agree Greg. I hope that you are never faced with dealing with these people. I hope and pray that NO one ever is. I have a sneaky feeling that many who back this kind of "freedom" in theory would NOT back it if it became personal. Maybe even you. I know that many in here to NOT...

    Good Idea

    Yes, Japan is FAR more "closed" than Italy to immigrants. I was treated GREAT as a visitor, once I got away from the base. All it took was a show of respect for THEIR culture and they went out of their way to be nice. In a more common way, when in Japan do as the Japanese do.

    Minorities vs entitlements

    Vets in this country are treated like garbage. Vets were promised certain benefits in return for their service and in many cases those benefits are now being denied. Yes, vets often seem to "get" more than those who did not serve, why? They were promised that they would receive those benefits. A...

    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    Greg, silence is part of some peoples religious ceremony. Shouting at those who are in prayer is NOT allowing them to practice their religion as they believe. That IS interfering with their practice. I agree with the SC decision, it SHOULD have been 9-0. Just as the health care decision should...

    Good Idea

    This story has MANY sides. There is NO one good answer to the problem. Having ONE language is a good start. People SHOULD be required to have basic command of the language where they live. Back in 1974 I applied to work at Great Lakes Steel in Michigan. I had to take basic tests in reading...

    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    You have no idea in the world what you are talking about. You have NO idea in the world who I am or what I am like. Anger? Sometimes, Frustrations? Of course. Suck to be me? What a laugh. As long as I remain free I have a GREAT LIFE! I hunt, I fish, I spend time with family. I donate time to...
