[MaDDoG]

you got a leaky tire....psssstttt.

 

[eric]

i do have leaky tires! how'd you know? well actualy it's the alloys.

 

[MaDDoG]

Next time you get the tires (american spelling) done get them to inflate them with nitrogen. It is more stable. They use it in aircraft tires I believe. Apparently the molecules are larger? and therefore dont leak out as easily.

Stil can't find my old avatar for you. doh.

tires (american spelling)

i noticed that in the first one, i was wondering why you didn't write tyres.

i just need to get some nice black steelies to roll on and ditch the leaky alloy wheels i've got.

I haven't learned much from mac-forums this week because I've been feeling like crap.

I learned on Monday/Tuesday that I've been feeling like crap because we're expecting our first baby in December. What a great early Christmas present. We haven't told the family yet, so I'm getting my "I'm so excited, I have to tell someone" high by telling strangers

Now we will have to have a double baby shower!

My advice is that spoil yourself and let others spoil you while you can.

I learned that climbing mountians in the winter makes you really really sore.

 

[johntalin]

she's actually still planning on walking in the breast cancer 3-day in a few months. so i don't know how easy she's going to be taking it.

That would be a great accomplishment for anyone. I am all for great causes.

that 5% won't make up for the inflation on all other products from gas prices going up.

I agree with that. We can't stop that from happening, though.
In my case, I consider 5% cash back as 100% savings since we don't keep any balance on any of our four credit cards, past the due date.
Depending on how fast you accumulate the total of $20 cash back, it gets to be credited to your balance as cash.
Cash price for gas is cheaper than the gas stations which accept credit cards. But, when we use this credit card we save about 8 to 10 cents more per gallon over the cash price.
We use the credit cards based on what they offer best. For e.g. I would buy airline tickets with Discover Platinum because in case you die the survivers get $500,000 dollar accidental death ins. money, etc.
We don't owe a dime to anyone, even the IRS—we always get money back.
I am always open to new ideas for saving.
Penny saved is penny earned is my motto.

I learned the IceCreamMan was a big baby and a dope head.

I learned that my wife has been stacking bags of Potatoes in a dark corner of the garage and they smell bad.
