Super Super Size It!

Many fast food restaurants give you the option to Super Size your meal.  Beside an extra large soft drink, the super sized meal also includes a large order of french fries.

But not to be out done, the cafeteria in my building sells their french fries by the pound.  I guess it is the Super Super sized order for the Super Super sized person.  Sad.

The Morgan.

I ran across this car the other day when I was walking in the parking ramp at work.  It is a Morgan, which is made in England.

It is a three wheel, rear end drive vehicle with no top and no heater.  The engine is similar to that of a motorcycle.  And, the amenities are basic at best.

At first, I thought it was an economy car and considered purchasing one.   But when I found out that it sells for over $40,000, I decided otherwise.

If I had $40,000 to spend on a sports car, there are other cars that I would rather own.

 

Meijer, Our Community Leader!!

This morning on the news, they announced that gas prices would be  jumping to 3.99 a gallon today.  So, if we could find it cheaper, we should fill up.  Well, since I found gas for 3.72, I filled up.

A few hour later, I noted that Meijer was selling their gas for 3.99.  Unfortunately, all of the other stations in Lowell were selling their gas for 3.84.  Didn’t the other stations get the word that gas was going to jump to 3.99?

As of tonight, all of the stations, including Meijer, are now selling their gas for 3.84.  But, we are grateful to Meijer for announcing the potential gas hike.

Meijer, our community leader in raising gas prices!

Defective Tax Program.

While I like filing my taxes on line, my tax programs vary from year to year.  So, I was a little concerned when this years tax program told me that I had until April 17, 2012 to file.

Well OK.  I guess I should have filed for an extension last year for this years taxes.  I wonder if I should file an extension this year for next years taxes?

“Order Up!”

Now that I am living by myself, I often opt for eating breakfast at work.  And, our local cafeteria has a short order cook who will fix any thing that you want for breakfast.

Once the cook has your order, you take your order slip to the cashier and pay for your food.  And, by the time you get back to the grill, your food is ready.

Now, while the cook is fast, the cashier is, well, a little slow.  So, by the time you finally pay your bill, your food is ready.

Heels While You Wait.

A local shoe repair shop advertizes “Heels While You Wait.”  Unfortunately, they fail to state just how long that wait will be.  It could be 10 minutes, an hour, a day or a month.   But regardless, you will wait until they are finished installing your heels.

You’re Looking Much Better Today!

You’re looking much better today!!  I heard that from an elderly woman at church.  Since, I have felt fine all winter, I wasn’t sure what she meant by that remark?

So, I asked others if they thought that I was looking much better, the same, or worse.  And, I got mixed responses.  Some thought that I looked better, some thought that I looked worse and some thought that I looked the same.

Well OK.  Some much for consistency.
