I am soooo glad to be out of this thing now! My orthodics haven't come in yet, but I told the doc that I could wear my old ones till the new ones come in & he said that would be fine. Whew! I'll get my hip adjusted again tomorrow & then hopefully, each day will get better & my wankle will get stronger & stronger. Maybe Incredible Hulk strong! (or not)
Next week another muscle test & I'm still in therapy 3x's a week. I think soon, this will all be behind me. I hope they'll let me start on the treadmill soon too. I think walking will help along with the other therapy exercises. But I've been good & not doing things against their orders.
Now to the gas issue. I always use a specific gas station that is on my way to therapy. I'm driving a big cargo type of van right now, so it sucks gas like a thirsty elephant. Today, I pull up to that station, put my card in, get approval for filling, start to push the button for the grade I want & what?? It' snot $3.11 like their sign said stated (signs usually don't actually talk)? Huh? I look at the sign again. Dammit, they changed their system. It's $3.11 IF YOU PAY CASH ONLY!! The debit/credit card price is $3.22. So I put the nozzle back in the gas stations tank, cancel it & drive away! Humpf! They were NOT like that last week! I don't carry cash!!
There's another gas station on that route I used to buy my gas at & stopped buying there too because of that! I drove away from them in the same manner too. I refuse to play that game with them. They will be losing any future money from me. I am boycotting stations that do this. I don't think it's fair to penalize or reward folks that pay by cash or debit. I realize that they have to pay charges on credit cards, but it's not that much to raise the prices to that degree! I personally think it's a scam for more profit in someone's pocket.
I found another station that happily took my debit card for gas at the cost of $3.13 per gallon, so there you stinkee stations. Take that. Their gain, your loss.
Heh heh heh
I don't usually use graphics I find on the net, but I'm too lazy tonight to get the camera out. :-P
~As always, be kind to your pets, clean up after them on your travels & respect your neighbor~
TexCyn if everyone would do what you did those stations would soon come around. Way to take a stand.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I didn't realize you had to dress up to go to Wal-mart. :)
ReplyDeleteI know how exciting it is to get out of that stupid boot. I was really excited to get the boot after four months in casts but by the time the boot came off I hated it. Keep behaving and eventually that ankle will work again.
ReplyDeleteI always dress up to go to Walmart. I put a bra on. lol
geese! I had no idea! Looks like a ski boot! Soooo glad you're on the mend.
ReplyDeleteYAY.....go away boot! and I love your graphics... ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear your done with the boot. My friend had to wear one and she hated it too.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing with the gas station right down the corner. they charge less for gas if its cash. I don't carry cash either. Never went back there.
