Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Still waiting at gas station
A pipe line broke and trying to get a fill up before prices soar
Bp closed all but their premium pumps
Went to another station

I can count on one hand the time it was what I'd call 'cool' during early October visits. Always feel so bad for the little red-faced princess gowned girls...and people wonder why kids melt down @ WDW

Your right it can be pretty hot. Then add to that the all day park and loads of people and it can turn nasty.

You have seen how everyone is so happy and the parents are calling their little ones sweety and honey on the bus from the resorts to the parks. Then late in the evening when everyone is heading back to the resort, they are sweaty, tired, kids are screaming and the parents turn foul.....LOL....end of the day park psychosis......

Had lunch with little sister today. She found some socks in the store and called me over to look at them. Yep....they were vampire socks. Red and black.....had to buy them.

Since we all in the thread are scattered all over, only east and coast peeps will have the higher gas prices

When I did get my turn for gas it was listed at $1.81
When I put my cc in and pumped the gas, it went up to $1.91
So was not a bad increased I had to pay

One mile away other stations had increased their pumps and priced at $2.35 a gal for regular

Next week I'm driving up to DC area
And I know prices will be higher there

I need gas but an not supposed to drive due to having anesthesia this morning. And though I feel pretty much fine, I'm getting dizzy suddenly at times so I'm going to listen to doctors order. I'm trying to get my husband to go get gas for me. My area was out of gas after a hurricane hit a pipeline - completely out. First their was price gouging and then no gas. So I hope I can convince him. His car is filled up but mine is almost empty.

Yeah, we have the highest gas taxes in the country. If I have to go over to Jersey, I try to go over the bridge with fumes, as usually at least 20 cents a gallon cheaper, and they pump. Here, you pay more if they pump. Some places charge more for cards, some do not. Weekend day is usually when I get gas. Both cars need it, so cross your fingers and toes that DS gets his formal driving license this coming week, as if he does, I am only paying for gas for one car next weekend.


Ahhh, harvest moon tonight. Have a good night.

 

[macraven]

Kohlby hope you feel better real soon

Mend and heal quickly

it was $2.39 this morning. Still the same driving home just now.

The projections are $.15 cents more a gallon jump on 'east coast' by early in the upcoming week.

That I can live with, gouging for gas already in their tanks is ridiculous Leave a bad taste in your mouth imp

Switch over to winter gas blend here soon hopefully will bring it back to summer levels

Keshia, check the Disney hotel forum. I think each thread on the hotels have mailing instructions. Be careful, I know like at the Beachclub YC, and other convention hotels the Amazon packages goes to a mail room, and you are charged by weight and have to retrieve it from that mail room. Forget where u are staying. Hope this helps.

I like using it. Have not gotten a good credit from them lately. I find the prices good on some things and okay on others and I can get cheaper other places. I always buy the items to get free shipping.

Yay! Glad you made it to RPR. Have a great restful night Schumi.

Got hubby to go get gas. It was still the regular price - $1.78. He said two of the pumps were closed though. there was illegal gas gouging here after a hurricane hit the gulf a while back, which effected our gas supply - as in over $5 a gallon. At one point, there were zero gas stations with any gas in the area. People couldn't get to work due to the lack of gas. So, though I'm fine with 15 cents extra, I have memories that make me prepare for the worse just in case.

I'm fine - the endoscope was easy, but I didn't expect the lingering dizziness when I have so much to do.

 

[kohlby]

That sounds marvelous Schumi!

 

[macraven]

Price gouging at the gas tanks is horrible and I know it happens

We only needed to go another maybe 3 more days until the summer gas was changing over to the other grade
Cheaper gas was just sound the corner until the pipe line bust

Ugh dread the prices that will rise

Hope the dizziness stops soon comfort you
Hopefully you will feel better after a nights sleep

 

[macraven]

And your birthday celebrations continue!

Get some sleep and hit the parks tomorrow

You'll be in eastern time soon body wise real soon

Welcome (to your home away from) home!

Wow, quite the welcome! Eat, drink and be merry, then repeat for 3 weeks haha

Glad to hear ur take on SF. I'm book in the basic suite our first night but plan on taking whatever unit may be open @ 10 am lol.

Ok, it was the date that I was forgetting duh.

I've been taking the slower shipping option on non-essential stuff prime stuff. Usually equates to video credits but I did earn enough in a few weeks to buy digital copy of Alice in Wonderland last month to occupy the munchkin. I've been seeing $5.99 credit options pop up more often, last one was on Norton security which we still dutifully place upon the desktops/laptops.

Forgot BW was convention hotel. Might just ship to AK for last portion of our stay. Thmink, thmink time, perhaps "Now".

Garden Grocer was 'free' but expensive, nice to have it waiting in the room.

Anyone else up now?

I'm up and already at work...watered plants and now I have wet feet.

Glad to hear our Schumi's doing well and she made the journey to the darkside ok.

3 more days!!!
