Tough to do with the ties of Democratic party with most news media, the social networks, and Companies like Amazon, Disney Hollywood, etc.

I used to be in the c-store business back in the 80's  I sold gas as leader to get you into my store to buy beer, sodas, and chips.  If I made a nickel a gallon I was very happy.  Now I look on my TSD app and see diesel posted for $5.35 and with the TSD discount I can by it for $4.53.  That is a good margin when some of those places sell 5000 gallons a day, maybe even more. 

I am noticing that my TSD card discount price is way cheaper than all my local haunts I usually fill up my coach at right now.  Even Sam's Club is higher than my TSD final price.

Cards don't give much of a discount on 100% diesel fuel,20% bio crap there is a large markup,even 5% bio is getting hard to find since all the later engines are happy with 20% bio ,my ISX Cummins does not like bio fuel over 5%

Seems like the entire concept of "God" needs modernized.

I agree in large part. Which may come as a surprise given I'm a pastor.

Perhaps, we have been sold a bill of goods. Like those cheap chocolate cream filled cookies my Grandma gave me. All the while calling them Oreo's. She would ask me if I wanted some Oreo's and milk.

Then one day I got a taste of a genuine Oreo. It tasted soooo good! Love them to this day. I eat them by the sleeve.

But I had questions for Grandma. She said they are the same thing. But she clearly had never had an Oreo.

I guess they cost too much...

My father in law lived on a farm as a kid. They used to eat lard sandwiches. Close as I've come is bacon. They say that fried potatoes taste best cooked in lard. I'll  pass.
Few years back all the baked goods sold by the Mennonites used lard for shortning. They don't anymore, at least around here

Mexican restaurants use a lot of lard for cooking that is all they use ,a lard sandwich that would be ugly ,I won't even eat a egg cooked in bacon grease

So Electric gods eat Oreos cooked in Lard is what I am getting from this thread, & that must be because of the high price of RN's at the boarder & this is why Diesel costs so much  ?

There used to be a brand of potato chips in Pennsylvania (Goff's) that cooked their chips in 100% pork lard. In my opinion, they were very tasty and the best I have ever eaten. Health-wise, they might not be the best, but they were good. (Pretty good drift from fuel prices, except that if they were still available I would drive to PA to get some if the diesel prices were lower).

It could get worse at least we are not making soap with the lard  ,still never heard of a lard sandwich, guess you don't find those on a Subway menu.Walter there is  chip maker in Beeville Tx that uses only lard and they are good.

No, this is just a  rambling, since we can't do much about fuel costs.
Another subject. Has anyone here visited the house on the Rock in Central Wisconsin?

Did't visit it directly, but we are in the area. Driftless region is beautiful and a worthwhile place to see if you haven't before. Lots of fishing in the area too.

Goal accomplished.

[chessie4905]

You've  got to visit this place if ever in the area. A jaw dropping experience.

[chessie4905]

never heard of that brand, but Gibbles are cooked in lard. don't  know if it is 100% though.

Hey Van - crosssing the political line?
Clifford - Wall Street has to wait to hear from Wally World, Target, and Costco that consumer's pocketbooks are closing up? Like we did not know this was coming?

Target reported same store sales were up for the quarter so spending was still holding up as of last quarter.  The headlines were all about Target's profits being down for the quarter due to higher costs, but barely any mention that sales still increased.

I just read something the other day that dealers of ATVs, UTVs, and other similar toys are begging manufacturers for more inventory as they can sell everything they can get.
