I bought gasoline today for $3.49. Any bets whether it will get down
below $3.00?

Exxon-Mobil (Dad's slogan for them: Up your A$$ with Mobilgas.) finally
dropped to 3.99 today after floating near 4.25 for weeks. It's not going to
go below 3.50 in Chicago unless the whole market collapses. They got their
taste for 3 dollar gas during Katrina, and they liked it.

$3.69 here. Did you ever see the day you would be *HAPPY* to pay $3.70 a
gallon?!?!

I had stopped filling up my tank and just put in $20 every time I gas
up since every week the prices go down. The Shell station where I
usually go to is 3.61 regular.

Exactly. We have been beaten into submission. It is like being happy that
your hourly beatings are now four times a day. No one even hopes for no
beatings at all.

But anyone with half a brain saw this coming when we elected an oil man for
president. I am sort of surprised it did not happen sooner.

You are suffering from Rectal-Cranial Inversion Syndrome. Better go
see a doc soon.

I check out fine, but you sound personally familiar with this syndrome. What
course of treatment did the doctor recommend in your case?

You'll have to ask Tak about treatment, he seems to be an expert.

I bet we will never see anything $3.00 or less.

It's already $3.30 at spots in Missouri. Another $10 lower on oil and
it will be there....

Well something is going on. Royal Dutch Hell and the discounters all jumped
from 3.96 to 4.15 today. Exxon is still at 3.99 for now, but I won't buy
Exxon.

Here's some words of advice you certainly could use:

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the
lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain
damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple
questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . .
It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out
their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the
other that is also an indication of a stroke}
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately
and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher

Have people around who can recognize the symptoms for you and phone it in.


Now you have a better day. :-)

Same advice as Dbu got, since you seem to have similar personality profiles:

And have someone near you who can recognize the symptoms AND knows how to
use a phone.

Now you have a better day. :-)
