    Weiner says.. wait, that WAS me!

    He's not representing my district, so I really don't care one way or the other. I do think it's all kinds of funny to watch politicians, who lie for a living, falling all over themselves trying to get to the microphone for a Web Gem Sound Byte to be outraged by another politician lying. Best...

    Government wants to PROTECT you, hang your key on front door

    Interesting, indeed. "We're the government, and we're here to help you, whether you want it or not, whether you like it or not." The video ended by repeating one of the more salient comments (although I think the comment about the Constitution is about the people restraining the government...

    My thoughts exactly. 500, 1000 gallons a month, you're accumulating showers faster than you can use them, so what do they do? They make them last longer. If you're in a van, you don't accrue many showers at all, and often they'll expire before you can use them up. As a result, I tend to buy just...

    When does being a Newbie cease ?

    Ever get out of the shower, and as you are drying off, you realize that you forgot to rinse the shampoo out of your hair?

    Doesn't surprise me that a manager here and there doesn't have all the details right. Just the other day I had one tell me that you can use the Frequent Fueler card at all of the restaurants, including Denny's. Newp.

    Payment Problems?

    Well, he doesn't understand the difference between a public and a private issue, and doesn't understand the simple rules of the Code of Conduct. Kinda makes you wonder if there are other things he doesn't understand, perhaps something that is coloring his version of the events...

    Payment Problems?

    Correct. The Code of Conduct is not only very simple, but very clear on this issue. And the Code of Conduct is something you agreed to when you signed up here. Is there some reason for which you think you are so special that you should not have to live up to what you agreed to? Clearly you do...

    Bad fuel

    You realize that lower octane gasoline has more BTU energy (power) per gram than higher octane, right? High octane fuel has Oxygenates added to slow down the flame front which reduces and resists engine knock (the higher the octane rating, the slower the fuel burns). Lower octane will give you...

    When does being a Newbie cease ?

    A year. After that you're no longer a newbie. Newbies are still trying to figure out the basics. You'll never learn everything there is to know about this business, but after a year you'll have seen most of the major surprises, and by then you'll be able to at least effectively deal with any...

    Bad fuel

    Just turn on the CB and ask. In just a few minutes you can confidently conclude that every fuel stop in North America has bad fuel, and no one will buy fuel there again.

    That's Louisiana, New Orleans and south of there. You get 50, 80 miles south and west of New Orleans, and it's a different world. With some of these people, you're going good to pick out about every third word they say. With others, you won't understand one in ten. :D

    credit repair service

    Yes, you can dispute anything you feel is in error, but if you state the magic words, "this is not my account", and the account is, in fact, your account, and you know it, that's fraud. The US Code of Federal Regulations define fraud as intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage...

    Palin's Emails Released.....

    Not that it matters, I suppose, but, "The emails were first requested during the 2008 White House race by citizens and news organizations, including The Associated Press, as they vetted a nominee whose political experience included less than one term as governor and a term as mayor of...
