Rising Gas Prices

[AngelinaCat]

After about a week of staying the same, our gas prices have jumped. The place closest to home is still $4.12, and the cash onlys are still around $4.05 and $4.07. I failed to notice the Citgo across the street. However, the shocker was the place closest to my work. They are now at $4.11, 11 cents up from just a couple of days ago. And so it goes......

Amislander that isn't right , besides in the Mayan calander that is only the end of this age and the next age begins after it.

Okay I have a story though.

I stopped at the gas station near my home. Sign said 4.079 / gallon. I started pumping and noticed that the pump was saying 3.079. So I was already filling it up no problem. One of the attendants came out and I said you know your pumps not right. We talked a moment. I went in and paid the full 4.079 / gallon. It was only fair.

Prices here have been hovering between $4.12 at the place closest to us, to $4.00 at the place closet to my work. The two cash onlys have been $4.03 and $4.05 with the Citgo across the street at $4.09. Diesel has been between $4.75 and $4.95. That was last week. I expect prices will be different when I go into work later today.

We can find $4.17 if we are headed into town but out here it averages about $4.33

I came across regular unleaded for $3.95 last week...this was by far the cheapest I've come across. The average price is around $4.05 for regular unleaded.

You put some good information & links too, BankruptPinoy.

For people of the Bible, they can understand it as the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. The media never accuse people of anti-semitism when someone disparages Arabs even though they are considered semitic peoples. It appears that those calling themselves Jews have the monopoly on the term. But I would propose that no Jew worth the name living today has the blood of Isaac flowing through his or her veins.

Aint that off, how they all try the monopoly on different terms? & no one else is allowed to call themselves it?

We are too much in agreement on these things. Is there a catch
You know I have many conversations with them. I know for a fact one of the rules for their messiah is they are supposed to be able to trace their blood/seed back to David, or he cannot be the Messiah. I ask how they plan to do that & pick the right Messiah...& they either get real mad or have no answer. Though some of them just view the messiah thing as metaphor.

Then I want to know if he comes on a donkey or in a mercedes. Just Kidding!

If you have ever seen the rules it becomes so obvious that what they expect is impossible to perform today...unless someone is a very good liar.

There might be a handful of orthodox who have maintained some kind of oral traditions that survived from centuries. That I feel is worthy or at least plausible in terms of semitic. Even with all the technology, DNA & science today...it aint going to happen, at least not without changing the rules & picking the wrong politician, I mean Messiah. It is like they are all into this bizzare catch 22 that they created. Like a bouncing ball enclosed in a small court & are not aware that there is a door to bounce out of.

As for an interpretation of the original language, say used from the OT bible, I would trust what the jews interpret way before I would trust the christians or muslims. They dont have a clue how to read it with a jewish lense. So in that sense of the language I would agree with them. Though I would prefer to label it as Linguistics rather than semitism, for the same reasons you have mentioned. I am sure you can relate. With the origin of semite refering to many different peoples clear into asia. hmmm

Not to change the subject about price of gas here, but I think about these things from time to time & question the dogma of tradition & myth, much the way you do...how it is all intertwined...and it is interesting how this oil crap in the middle east is what really controls these people of the persuasion they are blessed & a cut above all others. I just cant see anyone or any supreme god with any type of rational & respect, being that pathetic and that biased.
