Meanwhile, with these measures to conserve and curb emissions being implemented, my oil supplier phoned to say unless I use more, he will not fill on a predetermined schedule...I would think conservers would be awarded

Haha, the distributors want to sell,sell,sell and our government wants to tax,tax,tax.

We have to figure out how to write more **** off.

I heat with wood and oil. My lane way is 400+ feet from the line. They want a ridiculous amount to hook me up. My oil furnace is new as are all my wood stoves....bitter irony I am afraid...

We are 1.08 for regular here, probably around the cheapest in the country now. All the better reason to get my Cutlass running on regular, who knows what is coming. I just got told all my overtime is getting banked, great time off with no money. I work around 40 days straight and long hours in the spring, pays for the extra Oldsmobile parts and was hoping for a trip for our 20th Anniversary. Now I will be luck to get my car cobbled together, let alone anything else. The only thing worse than government is evil corporations, good thing I work for one.

Just gotta find a school district that needs a Building And Grounds Supervisor, Im also an Electrician, NJ certified though but it has gotten me by in the past.. The property tax relief itself would give me an $8000.00 "raise". That and better Hunting, Fishing to do with my son, Maybe a less Liberal attitude too. ugh, I wanna go now. Maine seems nice though, a little cold.

Of course, you'd have to put up with your NJ friends making fun of you for moving to "Pennsyltuckey," but you'll survive that.

Personally, I couldn't believe it last week, when I drove through Jersey and the gas prices were higher than they are in Maine, even on Route 46.

its hard to believe anyone would want to move to this dump of a state. I dont mean its ugly because frankly i'm as far from philly as you can get over here in pittsburgh. I mean it in the sense that politically we are held hostage by the degenerates in philly. if we could annex it to Jersey I would be all for it. . It must be really bad in Jersey if you guys wann come here. I went to philly back in september to get my 87 cutlass. WHAT A DUMP! what an awful place to have to drive everyday too.
