You know, I don't understand why people fight lines and hassles to save in some cases, very little money, for instance, there is Von's gas station, near us and when you swipe your Von's cards it saves you "up to 3 cents a gallon." The frigging placed is always packed, it is hard to get into, the layout is a major pain in the ass and you only save 3 frigging cents..... The gas there is about the going rate as the others in the area and I don't get why people always deal with it... I'll drive buy and if it looks OK I'll pop in because it is closer to my house, but otherwise I'll drive a mile or so down the road and get gas.

I mean think about it.... long lines, pain the but to get in and out, and you save what, about ..... 60 cents if you put in 20 gallons.....

I guess I just value convience more than that little money to be saved....

no. This place is boring. The only place I could go to would be a damn bar, and they are all full of smoke!

That is unfortunate. What about dinner?

No idea. Honestly I'm not even that hungry.

I'm pretty low maintenance, I don't need a fancy meal out somewhere to have a good time on my birthday.

It hasn't been so bad. Haven't had anything to really complain about except that I had no idea I was out of pasta sauce and I was thinking about making pasta.

Oh well.

It must provide empty conversation to their SOs, I don't like to be hassled, so much to the point I debated whether or not to take my camera back just because I didn't want to repack it.
