Sounds like yours is like mine, only mine has an auto-choke which choked
years ago. :) -Dave

I gotta agree that the small engine two-strokes are a pain. If that
trimmer is an older one, the plastic in it may have been damaged by
the ethanol in gas, as well as clogging up.

I've taken to putting a bit of Lucas injector cleaner into every
container of gas destined for yard tools. Seems like I've I'd had
fewer gas-rlated problems since then.

I've worked in a deli for 18 years now. We have never used the
chickens from the meat department.They do not weigh the same, so even
if we wanted to, they would not represent the weight and ingredients
(doesn't have the seasoning ours come with). And that would be false
advertising. We take our used fryer oil and chicken grease to a barrel
that is stored in the meat department. They have 2 barrels there for
the meat department for the cuts of fat and old meats that did not
sell. They go to a recycle place that pays for it.

Our deli chickens are ordered specifically for the deli and come 8 in
a case, and have for the last 17 years that we have sold hot food.
They used to come frozen. It has been years since they switched to
fresh, never frozen chickens. We sell about 7 cases on a typical day.
They sell so well that we have to cook extra chickens to cut up for
our chicken salad. And when we do our special sale for $5 each, we
sell about 220 of them in a single day.

They don't have time to get old.

As for the claim about seasoning to cover the smell... The seasoning
is on the chickens when they come in. It isn't added to cover a smell.
It helps the chicken brown nicely and gives a nice mild flavor.

Nope, because whether the food is past the sell by date has absolutely NOTHING to do with your immune system.

My power co. offered a deal - 'let us turn off your a/c and water
heater for (a short time so many times a month) and get a lower
rate." I don't recall the specifics on money or time, but my Aug bl
came in 20 bucks lower than my July bl. and we certainly did not have
a cool day here in FL in that time frame. No other changes that I can
recall in that billing period. Never noticed a change either in the a/
c or hot water temp. They DO have to install a device in your house,
but heck - it's worth it. No charge for installation of said device
either.

If your elec. co. offers any kind of deal like this, go for it.

T-Mobile lets all minutes last for a year providing you have bought $100
worth of time. $100 for the first year and $10/year minimum thereafter.
I get free Target gift cards for one of my survey/watch ads thingies,
so from now on the phone is free.

I just wish I'd chosen a phone with voice-recognition calling
capability. When "speed dial" is menu-8-3-line down(s)-enter, the
suckage is extreme.

We use Verizon wireless. An additional line is $10 and it goes to $14
total with the various sneaky taxes the politicians have added.

Tracfone minutes never expire, it's the airtime that does. The last
time I
bought airtime I got a 2 year deal with lots of minutes and it worked
out to
$6/month. I rarely use the phone and keep it just for emergencies
because I
travel a lot. I've had it for 5 years and I've got over 500 minutes
left, without ever adding any minutes other than what comes included
with the annual
airtime.

So, how inconvenient can it be to renew Pageplus every 120 days
compared to sending ±$20.00 + taxes _monthly_? $10.00 gets 70 min for
120 days; that's nominally $2.50/mo. Those minutes "roll over" into the
next period when one buys additional time by the expiration date.
Pageplus uses the Verizon network, which is second to none in most of
U.S.A. You can buy minutes on eBay and pay with paypal, buy minutes from
any number of third-party W3 sites, buy minutes from most independent
cell phone stores, buy minutes from many convenience stores. In many
jurisdictions, as well as online, those transactions incur no sales tax.
I find it interesting that when folks talk about their "low priced" cell
phone deals, they never mention the taxes, fees, and "because we can"
charges that very nearly double their actual bills. You may safely
disregard any misleading claims about "free" stuff from the postpay
guys. Those "offers" are intended to dupe dullards into subscribing to
otherwise overpriced services. Phoneco stuff is "free" only if you pay
for other services which you may neither need nor want. Just for grins,
call any of them and tell them you just want the "free" stuff.... That
"second line" gimmick is just that: Simply a means to induce subscribers
to increase their usage, empty the "bucket" and pay a premium price for
over-run minutes, not to mention the "extra-line" charge which really
buys absolutely nothing. Telephone companies, just like cable teevee
companies, are masters at bleeding money-for-nothing from the unwary and
from the arithmetically challenged; it's what they do.

It may not be right for you but it certainly isn't what you described
and it certainly buys you something. The second, third or fifth line
aren't gimmicks. It can also be a way to provide a service which some
people might choose to use and can make economic sense. Additional lines
can be quite practical and have nothing to do with "eating up a bucket".
Clearly you have little understanding how some people use phones and
what free in network calling means. A couple of the lines on our plan
rarely use plan minutes but it isn't unusual to hit a thousand minutes
at no additional charge since it is in network calling. Our family and
friends are dispersed and mobile so it is a great way to stay in touch.
We have never gone over plan minutes. And you may also note that one of
"those people" actually mentioned the total cost in this thread.

Why do you find it funny? Do you often find humor in your obvious
hypocrisy?
I guess it helps to have the ability to laugh at your flaws when you
are a dumb fuck like you.

LOL, reach much, moron?

BTW, nice snipping job. Small wonder why you need to detract from the
fact that you are a gutless loser using an anonymous remailer, LOL.
Tell me Mike, or whatever your name is today, were you born without
balls or did you lose them in an accident?

TOPIC: is $1.69 good price for half pound cream cheese?

$1.69 for 8 ounce store brand cream cheese is the price I found today at
Save A Lot. This seems pricey to me, but maybe that's because I rarely buy
it. I remember that it was only 99c there 2 or 3 years ago. Has it really
gone up 70% since then?

Anyone know of a chain that regularly has it for less than that price?
Thanks!
