Az I Use It....
- FREE gas? Fry's(Kroger's) supermarkets advertises up to $1.00-off per gallon, when using their fuel points system from grocery purchases. I recently filled up with a $.30 per gallon discount, and together with my Discover Card(5% rebate on gas), I will pay less than $3.00 per gallon. Great deal, right? Except that my car got (40) miles per tank LESS than it usually gets! I thought maybe it was time to check my tire pressure, but that was not the problem. So I tried again - and again about (40) miles less per tank. At more than $3.00 per gallon, I figure I'm out about $2.00! I then filled up at Costco, where I don't receive the Fry's discount, but I still get a 4% rebate from my AMEX card. This time it was about (25) miles less than typical. What was going on?! I have since returned to using the other filling stations in my area - Valero, QT, and Chevron - and guess what? My vehicle is getting the same mileage that it supposed to get - about (300) miles before refill - approximately (20) miles per gallon! My conclusion, if you want free gas, eat beans!

- Drinking water at certain times maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
(2) glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
(1) glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
(1) glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
(1) glass of water before going to bed - helps prevent stroke or heart attack
- Parents and students are complaining about the costs of higher education. Books are more expensive and tuition is ever-increasing! Oh, and part-time jobs to pay for automobile expenses and cellphones, as well as the life-experience partying would simply be a major inconvenience! People, people - you can well afford a quality education, if you work part-time(gasp!), give up your 'smart-phone'(use a basic phone - gasp!), study, instead of party(double-gasp!!), and live at home, instead of in a dorm or off-campus rental housing(triple-gasp!!!) No? Well, you get what you pay for! Someone has to serve me, when I eat at McDonald's or Burger King!
