Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0

I got gas today at Wal-mart and had $20.64 on a pre-loaded gas card.
So I used that first to get a partial fill for .03 cents off/gallon at 4.08 which lowered it to 4.05 at the stamped time of 17:20.
At 17:22, I used my debit card to fill it the rest of the way...new price 4.18. wtf.
It jumped .20 cents in 1 day and then another .10 in 2 minutes while I was still at the pump.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0

NO! you should have went inside and told them you weren't paying that. if the sign on the pump outside says one thing, that's what you pay. it's the same gas it was 2 minutes ago anyway.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0

I didn't even notice it till just now when I was adding stuff up to put it in my fuel log app.
So its been 5 hours. Grrr.

I've heard if the price is going up, they change the pump first and outside signs last.
If price is going down, outside sign first, pumps last.

Whata bunch of crap.
ok..end of my rant, i just couldn't believe that.

The information you have just posted is correct. I worked at a gas station on and off through college and that is exactly what happens. We did however tell the people on our lot that the price was changing and had them pump if it was going up or had them hold off if the price is going down.

I ended up having a blonde moment and somehow punched the plus button instead of regular on my second transaction. So it was my fault.

i call all weeks old puppy's slugs. the just wiggle around like a slug, lol cute as can be.

so as im looking at the pups pics, i see the vest, im like service dog? but aint that a bit young? then i saw the Facebook, you have a good and challenging job there, good luck with all your service pups.

i ve always been good at training my own "pets" but i dont think i could train raise and let the dog go at a year or what ever its is if they are accepted to get further training and be used for service, thats hard to do, but the rewards are the best i bet.


my brothers first two labs were pups from working stock so to say, the male was the offspring of search and rescue dogs, thats was a smart dog, and the other was the offspring of seeing eye guide dogs.

Ps. Is eleanor available for adoption? :)

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with a dog named Eleanor, but generally, most of the dogs never make it to adoption. Something like 60% get placed as intended, then a good percentage of dogs that don't do well due to temperament, health, etc. wind up doing other jobs. You can apply to adopt, but I'd guess you'd be waiting around a couple of years before they got to your name on the list and most likely won't get a dog you're currently interested in. If you happen to be interested in being a puppy raiser, you'll have to move much closer. Or you'll have some excellent frequent flyer miles.

Yep, they start wearing their vests when they're young to get used to it. It's especially helpful if they wind up being a balance dog with a big handle strapped to their back.

Puppy raisers do tend to get emotionally attached to the dogs, but the payoff when the dog get placed with someone and improves their life... or saves it.

And for those that don't know how to give up a dog, they might get lucky to house a breeding dog for life. I happen to be very good friends with SSD's stud dog, and he is one happy clam. Eats the most expensive food, get chauffeured around, still gets to go anywhere like a service dog, sleeps in big comfy bed with a hot chick, and bangs b*tches for a living. What a life.

Your bother's dogs must have had excellent breeding then. I once worked with a German Shepherd Seeing Eye dog from Delaware. Stud was straight out of Germany and this dog had phenomenal health. Back then, though, they had pretty miserable management and quite a number of their dogs failed and went to become bomb, body, search, etc. dogs or got adopted out to their puppy raisers.

well having the stud/male is better than having the b1tch (cant believe that words is censored when being used properly lol) puppy litters are a lot of work, someone needs to be around a lot to care for them, clean ups suck to, its a all day event lol


my brothers male would jump and climb anything my brother told him to, straight up 9 foot old rock walls, up trees, jump this in the middle of the yard, in the pool, above ground pool with a 5 foot rail, he clears it, and all 4 paws hit the water, i was amazed. oh and dig up the tree roots in the yard, just kick your foot in the dirt tell him to get it and he would dig till he hit china lol sad ay when he passed, he was a yellow lab.

to this day none of his dogs wear a collar or needs to be leashed, when he takes them to the vet, they need to be leashed, and act like they are being sent to jail or something, they have pretty much free roam, and never leave the yard. he tells me he don't like the way their coat looks when they wear a collar so for "looks" they never have them on.

this shot is from when the big black female whos 122 lbs now was a pup last year or so ago.

A 3 hour road trip for work in this beautiful weather and now I'm back at my desk and totally worthless for the rest of the day.
*sigh*

Having to be patient and wait for a phone call about my spoiler being done isn't working out so well either.
