  Got the snow blower all ready sitting by the garage door, plug in and ready to go.

Do snow blowers work for ice?

Why aren't you racist MFR's bitching about the POTUS going to South Africa for Nelson Mandela's funeral? Humm???

Could it be because there are 3 other POTUS's and their wives going too???

Or could it be because he is finally doing what he should do?  There are others he should have attended and didn't.  Come off that racist crap, I thought you were smarter than to be sucked into that garbage.

I knew you were going to say that.

. . . Damn bible thumpers!

I just hope he remembers in his 10 min speech that it's all about Mandela and not about him.  He has a strange way of making things about him in his little speeches when he's supposed to be honoring someone else.

You fucking gassers need to PAY ATTENTION to the pumps you pull up to when stopping for gasoline, or when parking so you can run in for something.

For the umpteenth time I had to sit and wait behind two gassers, when every single other pump in the station was wide open, while they ran inside for something; leaving their damned vehicles parked in front of the ONLY two pumps dispensing diesel in the entire station.

Inconsiderate assholes! 

Yes. I have vented about this before, and I will venture to say I will be venting about it again; MANY more times. You just can't fix stupid!  (/rant)

150,000 miles on my diesel. If it were a gasser it'd be in the junk yard already.

  I had a friend who pull house trailers all over the country for a manufacturer.  When he traded off his F350 Ford Diesel it had over 250,000 miles on it.  Needless to say he bought a new Ford Diesel.

Any diesel powered vehicle should be capable of attaining 250,000 miles without breaking a sweat. They just run. While I am not too fond of Fords diesel engines, I have come to admire Ford Motor Company for they way they weathered the "economic downturn"; by making the hard choices, and coming through it without asking for, or taking, any bailout money.

That alone will force me to at least take a look at their lineup the next time I purchase a new truck; if ever. The prices the big three are asking for their trucks these days, gassers as well a diesels, all but ensure the 2500 HD I am driving will be my last vehicle. . .

  If you ever decide to by a Ford, I can get you on my family plan and you can save up to 12 to14% on.  I did own a diesel, I now own a F250 with a V10 engine.  I'll get you a pin number and you can save big time.

Let the games begin!

If you haven't gone out for the ritual pre-storm shopping blitzkrieg yet, you had best suit up with full body armor before doing so.

I went out just to get milk and bread. We have enough of everything else to get us through the anticipated snow storm. In fact we have enough milk and bread too, but I just HAD to join in the festivities. (It's just not a storm unless you go to the grocery store for some panic buying).

Here's my experience: (Yours may vary)

1. I had to park out where Jeebus lost his sandals. I normally park out there anyway, but I just wanted something to open my grousing with.

2. The shelves and refrigerated cases were approaching famine levels, and the poor workers were having to wrestle with the damned hoard in order to get things restocked. I saw stock-persons having to hip check people out of the way just to put ground beef out. There was NONE in the case, and he was just trying to get some in there. What a bunch of assholes.

3. EVERY single register was open, and the line to check out was into the clothing areas at each and every one. Including the self scan lanes!

4. The number of people in the store exceeded the black Friday crowds reported in the media IMHO.

5. (Here's my real venting item) I had three items; milk, bread, and a package of ground beef for the chili I am planning on preparing. I went to the self scan lanes and was standing in line. There was this woman in one of those gimp-carts, who was inching out of the clothes area. She asked the guy behind me if she could get behind him. The guy in front of me allowed her in front of him. (NOT an issue. I was actually glad he did that for her)

But then. . . as she was next in line for the next open scanning station, another woman comes rushing up and gets next to her with a cart FULL of items. I mean, the limit is 10-12 items and she easily had in excess of 100 items. And they both went to the open station together. The gimp cart was out into the aisle blocking anyone from exiting, and the hoarders cart was right next to her. They effectively barricaded the exit from the 2 additional stations in that lane. And the "gimp" jumped right up out of that cart and was laughing and smiling, and moving about; obviously not a true handicapped individual but a scammer. Just like her partner.

The hoarder was bitching up a storm about all the people and squalling about how she was being bumped and run into as she moved her triple X sized ass through the aisles.

The guy in front of me got his stuff paid for, and was weaving his way through the exit of the three lanes adjacent to the ones we were in, due to the road block and egregious violation of the well posted store policy being imposed upon everyone by the scammers.

It took me 2 minutes to  get my items scanned and paid for, then I was faced with trying to navigate through that mess. In the process my cart "accidentally" brushed up against the hoarders cart, and she squalled, "Excuse you"!

I ignored her fucking dramatic hyperbole, but could not suppress the grin that broke out on my face as I walked away. (She never saw it by design though).

My grin got wider as I saw two store security personnel making their way toward them.

Fucking assholes like that should be shot! 

(And yes. This was at Meijer)
