Cilla - my ESP tells me that you have a message!

YEAH!!!!!

George · « **Reply #213 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:08:17 PM »

I just realized that the time display on my browser says that my last message was "Posted on: Today at 09:05:08 PM".

I forgot to change the "Time Offset" option under "Look and Layout Preferences" in my profile to be 0, so that it no longer displays Daylight Saving Time time.

And NOW I'm leaving.

Today I drove Vixdad to the station and the Vixter to school using Vixdad's Hyundai - worried about the fact that we were down to about a 1/3 of the tank

vixmom · « **Reply #216 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:11:16 PM »

-then on my way to the office I saw a gas station with GASOLINE!!!!! The line was "only" 5 blocks long so I got on it and after "only" 40 minutes I was able to fill the tank!

vixmom · « **Reply #217 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:11:37 PM »

One reason the line moved so "quickly" was that they were only accepting cash payment and people were arriving at the pumps after waiting only to turned away

vixmom · « **Reply #218 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:12:10 PM »

Fortunately I was in such fear of long blackouts and inability to use credit or get to a working ATM witht he upcoming storm that I took a third of my paycheck in cash last week and kept it on my purse

I have not touched it saving it for an emergency so I was able to buy gas and travel to work in a much more cheerful frame of mind

Cillaliz · « **Reply #219 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:13:43 PM »

it's amazing what cash can do

ChasSmith · « **Reply #220 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:14:23 PM »

Is NY on an odd/even system for gas purchases? I think NJ went to that.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #221 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:14:48 PM »

Vixmom....I see a message in your future....or your present, lol

ChasSmith · « **Reply #222 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:14:54 PM »

So nice to have 1979 back again.

vixmom · « **Reply #223 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:15:58 PM »

Then this evening I picked the Vixter up from work in my Honda and decide to take a little tour to seei f we could find another station as my car was also down to less than a 1/3 tank and we are expecting a N'or'Easter on Wednesday

Cillaliz · « **Reply #224 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:16:04 PM »

I graduated from High School in 1979

I live just a few houses from the main drag in town and there are 6 gas stations within walking distance but they were all dark with ropes across the driveways...

vixmom · « **Reply #227 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:19:03 PM »

I decided to checkout a couple of other stations in a more residential are of townand after passing three more closed stations we found one that was pumping - a small station with only 4 pumps and a line that extended a mile down the road

vixmom · « **Reply #228 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:20:02 PM »

We decided to pass and kept on going and 2 blocks later we found a station with 6 working pumps and only 20 cars on line!!

vixmom · « **Reply #229 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:21:10 PM »

We waited on line and in 18 minutes I had a full tank of gas.

vixmom · « **Reply #230 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:21:45 PM »

No - NY hasn't gone to that system- we did that back in the 70's

I NEVER carry cash - I am so pleased I had it with me - I would have been so upset to have waited in line and then to have been turned away - I thought the guy in the truck in front of me was going to hit the gas attendant but the police presence is probably what made him stop yelling and get back in his truck

But Chas the OUTRAGEOUS gas prices in '79! Gas was almost 75 cents a gallon!!!! People predicted it would hit a dollar!!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #236 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:33:28 PM »

I thought about the old gas prices when the newscaster announced to day that gas prices had plummeted to 3.50 a gallon
