I swear, these days every time I leave the house there goes another $20.00. :laughing7:
Dang Bigscoop, you getting off cheap! :laughing7:

I swear, minimum $50 just to back outta the driveway! A day on the town, $100 at least!
Pm me your address, I can go for $20 a day! :laughing7:

Maybe we can get a Affordable Gasoline program going. You pay based on your income and, if you refuse to work, it's free!

"Bicycles and skateboards!".....remember, we're going green. Soon you'll get a tax credit for owning a bicycle or skateboard, interstates and highways will be crammed with bicycle and skateboard rest stops and service centers. Remember those three-seater bicycles....soon the entire family will be taking vacations in their F.U.T., or Family Utility Transport. Grab a seat on the bus, a hundred people all peddling at once. No doubt where I'm investing my money. :laughing7: PUI, PWI....Peddling Under the Influence, Peddling While Intoxicated,...it's all coming!

I think big G already has a program like that! lol Frank...

1960 MESSENSCHMIDTT.jpg This might help too. 58 Isetta 300-BMW.jpg This might help too.


OR MAYBE EVEN my old plan!

Look at it this way, how much would your family Dr bills and psych Dr bills be if you didn't have a stress outlet of some kind....

Well, since the MMGW scientists are apparently bought and paid for by energy companies .... no, not the petrochemical energy companies, the expensive energy companies - you know, renewable energy companies (wind, solar, blah blah blah) ... we can expect prices to continue to rise while the ruse is promoted by politicians who are also on the renewable energy companys' payrolls work hard to defeat any changes that would expand and improve oil and gas exploration.

Some of the layers of the "renewable energy" scam have been peeled back, more to come? I believe so !!!

I always brake for cajun boiled peanuts! LOL!

We used to watch out for those signs when my Mother-in-law was with us. Anything to distract her attention somewhere else. We could be on a trip to New Orleans, and she'd see a sign in Mississippi and if she was driving, we went garage sale-ing.

Was told I saved forty bucks after spending over a hundred the other night. I wanted to say I would have saved over a hundred by not leaving home but you know,that would have probably cost me more being the original reason for shopping was half the total.

Get me behind the wheel for a 1500 mile drive, cooler at my side, and I don't even want to stop to pee.
Drive down to the corner store for gas and I also stop at the hardware store, a garage sale, the grocery store, the ice cream place, etc.
What's up with that? :laughing7:
