Just wondering if the Americans, wherever you are, have gasoline and how much. Our stations shut down this evening. At the time, gas was around 3.20.

First off, I don’t eat gas so the price of it will have absolutely no impact on my caloric intake. Second off, people in depression because they stay at home need to move. They can use horses to move. Third off, take a bus.quote:Originally posted by Mrs.M.:
Right, people can stay at home, in a depression and starve instead!

Someone called me from south Florida and said they are allowed 5 gal. of (premium only) gas and have been told that they will get no more gas or food shipments until after September 7th.

Pardon? Where do you come up with this stuff, Chatter? “Tone”? “Combative”? If it gets “out of hand”, posts like yours are sure to fuel it. [head shaking .gif]quote:Originally posted by Chatter:
More importantly, the tone of the post that reaised these questions is combative. I urge that we not prolong this aspect of the discussion, as I predict it will get out of hand.
Why do people like to spread false rumors (“false rumors” is probably redundant)? Doesn’t anyone ever spread good rumors? I’ve got one – the world IS NOT coming to an end, at least for today. In 5 billion years the sun is going to blow, so you’ll want a good sunscreen (but, that’s another bad rumor, and something you can put off for a while).quote:Originally posted by Chatter:
Sorry, that is an unfounded rumor. Completely untrue.
Carpool, hitchhike, roller shakes, scooter, golf cart, hybrid? I *am* having a hard time visualizing a hybrid low-rider.quote:Originally posted by Mrs.M.:
BTW, we have no bus service in our town of aprox.40,000 nor horses.

If your job is set to the cost of living, it probably does not bother you, however, many people are not so lucky and it eats tremendously into their paycheck.
Yes, it appears to be sliding down that hill. “Demanded”? You sure have a flair for the dramatic.quote:Originally posted by Chatter:
As for my other comment, I simply was wary about a post that basically demanded an explanation of Americans as to how they managed to let such a catastrophe occur, as well as another quip. From there I simply see such a discussion sliding downhill.
