Oh get real. Oil is nothing but grease.

There was a day a long long time ago when people needed oil.

This is not the dark ages any more and the reality is, at least in regards to America,
we don't need oil. It's just all more foolery. There are many ways to heat a house.
There are many ways to run a vehicle.

Ya, we're mighty irritated down here about it, to say the least.

Is coke good for you? Of course not.

Is all those dead animals people shove in their mouth every day, good for them? Of course not.

The point I make is how people do single out one product and make up
various stories, notions, inaccurate facts about it. Granted, there are
facts about Coke that certainly make it an unhealthy drink. I sure wouldn't
suggest that people sit around drinking a six pack a day. Coke either has
high fructose or aspartame of which neither is good for a person. There
is also artificial coloring. Dare I mention phosphates. So these things
are not good for a person. But....I don't think drinking a six pack of beer
a day is good for a person either.....or how about eating cake every day
or what about candy bars or what about ALL the BIG FAT OBESE people
walking around that don't even drink soda pops because they are too
busy drinking a gallon of milk every day?

They did it because they make more money and they make more money by
denying gift codes for the prime membership.

If you have gift codes you spend them for buying products.

If they were to allow prime membership with gift codes, less sales of products.
However, mostly it is all about the auto-renew. If you have auto-renew and you
forget about it after a year or now after a month, you are in fact automatically
charged again simply because you forgot to go in and cancel your prime membership.

It has nothing to do with poor. The monthly option is simply going to generate
more money for them in more ways than one. Amazon will make about $33.00
more per year from their monthly members. In addition, it will generate more
product sales.

It's all about making more money and becoming the number one shopping
option in the world.

I always find it a bit funny when people focus on past presidents.
What I mean is, what would you wear to a prom 40 years ago and
what would you wear to a prom today?

Every day is different than the day before.

Sure, there are and have been presidents that handled situations
better than what perhaps others would have and vice versa BUT
do we really know that?

Everyone is entitled to vote for whomever they want.

Personally, I don't feel like voting for any of them. They are all
no better than :

Cher - Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves - YouTube

Yes I think that stinks too that they don't. They want you to have a credit card in
there so that it will auto renew every year....and now OR every month.

There is one yes, not far away from that chocolate factory

Oooooeeeee Mars Bars! Yum!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.



Personally, I think it is just fine to drink a coke.

I worked in health care almost my entire life from the age of 17.

I say, live your life with common sense, moderation, routine, and lots of clean water.
Live to live not to eat. It's really not so much what we put in our body as it is how
much we put in it.

Unless you have an allergy or susceptible to some particular food, go for it.

All the years I worked in health care, I have never known of a coke to kill anyone.

On a final note, all the doctors I have known, and it is a lot, they all said the main
health issue with people is :

-They don't drink enough water
-They over indulge
-They do not eat routinely
-They over consume the negative

That's it in a nutshell.

Yes Netflix is still the best. I do the streaming with 1 dvd out at a time.

Amazon Prime (yearly) is a good deal for me because I do shop there
a lot. I buy Bo's dry dog food at Amazon. He eats the 'Blue' brand for
small breed that is grain free, artificial free, color free. He is spoiled.

Also I am a member of discount sites. Today for for example I purchased
several items that if I had paid full cost, it would have been way over $100.
Plus I have to order those discounted items, one at a time and if I wasn't
prime, I'd have to pay shipping individually on most of those items. As
a prime member, my total cost was $3. So in essence, in just one day my
yearly prime pays for itself.

I agree the glass pop bottles are always the best. I rarely see them and
never buy them. I buy the cans and the plastic bottles and also at times
the big plastic jugs.

I can remember many many many years ago, placing a coke bottle in
the freezer and forgetting about it.....what a mess! Broken glass!

What state are you in?

Ya, at this moment there is some hiccups in the forum. There are
times it runs slow, I guess due to processes, a lot of traffic, etc.

If you remove your old operating system, all I know is you would
need a dvd to install a new operating system. There may be another
way but I don't know what it would be.

PS. I don't think I have ever heard of a WORD operating system.

Amazon now has a monthly prime option of $10.99 a month.

Their yearly option is still $99 a year and that is a savings of over $32 a year, fyi.

@papamike51 So what are you folks up there doing for water now? Are they still
charging/sending water bills?

Ya, the lawyers are like roaches. Don't turn the light on! Or, is that don't turn the
TV on! Lawyers and Pharmacy companies, that is a match made some where.

I think if you're wanting to get 'rich' you better get to work on that.

Yeah, it just kind of wears you out doesn't it!

I mean, it's like running a marathon. It's like climbing a mountain. It's like walking
down a dusty road. It's like baling hay. It's like mowing ten acres with a push mower!

Whew! Sure does wear one out clicking a few 5 second ads.

Just in case you didn't notice, I have stopped responding to davidbugs. He just wants to argue and I refuse.

If I really wanted to argue with somebody, I would turn off my computer and listen to my wife.

I can say this now, because she isn't here to read this....LOL

I'm gonna tell her!!!

I dated an attorney once and you wouldn't believe what cons they are!
He was a criminal attorney. He would tell me the recent deals that were
made between the judge and lawyers, behind closed doors or out on the
golf course.

A few months ago I saw a newspaper picture of him and his family online,
announcing his new office in the down town area. I thought to myself....
'yeah, I bet you have grown well over all these years, making all those
conniving deals.'

I wish we had a costco here. Wonder if there is a costco on mars.

You don't have a dollar. You only have 14 cents.

As a free standard member you need to accumulate $8.00 dollars before you
can cash out.

Also, you can't withdraw anything from this forum.

Is this why you're still pretty even at this age!

That is an old picture of me. I have used that same picture of me online
since day one. I guess that picture is about 20 years old....or you could
say I am 20 years older than the picture.

Maybe they go out to eat.

There was a time in my life when I rarely ate anything at home.

I worked midnights at the hospital and would eat something there in the cafeteria
about 1 in the morning. Then at 7 in the morning I would go back down to the
cafeteria after I clocked out, and grab breakfast to go which was usually an egg
biscuit. Then I would drive home, take a shower, go to sleep, get up a few hours
later and go to classes. After classes, I would often pick up a salad at a nearby
grocery store and a brownie at the bakery next door. I'd get home, eat and go
to bed. I'd then wake up and it would be time to start all over again.

So maybe that is what they do. They may not buy much in regards to groceries
because they may not have time to eat at home.
