Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will

Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days,
and within the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.

So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you
must spend $1000 to earn 1000 points.
Gee, what a math whiz...

Just to add to the fun:

Every week, I spend the following at Giant on our
indoor pets:

Petfood $ 30
Clean Litter $ 52

That's $82 a week x 4 weeks = $328. That's 328 of 1000
points.

How many cats do you have?
I'm guessing he has two? I spend about 1/2 that on food.
I buy the
litter in bulk and it lasts forever.
I was just curious. I have a 100 pound dog and he only
eats about $15
a month in food, plus whatever he gets from our meat
scraps. I spend
more on dog treats.
Every good deed gets a "cookie". The up side to that is he
is getting
a lot more civilized. Not bad for a "3 time loser" at the
pound.
You must buy the kibble in bulk?
He seems to do best on Costco "healthy weight" and that is
about $18 a
40# bag. I have tried several other brands, including some
real "foo
foo" stuff the vet is pushing. I watch the intake and output
to decide
how he is doing. The ingredient list is pretty good too, I
posted it
here a while ago.
My cats won't go near the food the vets sell, especially the
Hill's
Prescription Diet, wet or dry.

Our outdoor friends, the foxes, raccoons, possums, et cetera,
all go for
Purina Dog Chow, so we buy a couple of big bags of it for
them each
month. We also give them leftovers. A stand of forest a few
miles away
was just clearcut by a homebuilder/developer. That means a
lot more
critters are now homeless, and we'll probably see a few of
them, the
ones who aren't killed crossing the streets.
I am not a huge fan of feeding wild animals. It is creating an
unnatural environment that hurts them in the end. You will
al;so find
that you end up with a lot more undesirable critters like rats.
Knock on plastic, we so far haven't even seen a mouse on the
property.
My guess is that it has something to do with all the the
predator birds
in the area, including hawks*, owls, crows, et cetera. You
always see
them swooping down on nearby fields, and taking off with
something juicy
in their beaks. I'm sure the foxes and maybe the possums and
raccoons
also help keep down the rodent population.

* We have one for sure and possibly two nests of cooper's hawks
in the
woods behind the back yard.

Mine is a mouser for sure... also gets the occasional snake,
yuk, and
more than it's share of birds (bummer, but what can you do).
Keep the cat in the house. I have no problem with people enjoying
their pets but when they become exotic predators they become a
concern. The only small animals that can compete with cats are
rats
and mice. They can kill everything else but these rodents can
reproduce faster than a cat can eat them. You end up with nothing
but
rats and mice in the ecosystem. That is why the DEP kills cats in
the
parks around here. They don't talk about it much tho. The also do
not
talk about the wild hogs they kill.
Roadside Barbecue!
The park service has a contractor who traps out a lot of the hogs
and
he comes and gets one if they shoot it. Evidently wild hog is a
delicacy in Europe. The French can't get enough of them.
The rangers carry a 12ga in their Gator with 00 buck in it.
Wow...and that was a wild-ass guess on my part.

Around here, if a deer is hit by a car, and it happens often, the
deer
usually is picked up and put in the back of one of the next pickup
trucks that passes. If not, the vultures feed on it for a couple of
days. In the years we've lived here, our vehicles have been hit four
times by deer running across a road. One missed us by leaping over
the
hood of the car.

Not being a hunter, I have no idea how long a deer can sit dead on
the
side of the road before the meat is considered spoiled.
Usually, the car hits the deer instead of the deer hitting the car.

Harry could never admit to being so flawed as to actually hit a deer
But he is so easy to pin down.. He has a pretty defined tell really, if
his fingers are moving in a definitive pattern around the keyboard of a
computer, he is lying...


As a point of fact, once, while driving south on a main road here, a
deer ran from the other side of the road and slammed into the back door,
driver's side and another time, on a country road, a deer ran into a
quarter panel. Thus, the deer hit the car. Two other times, deer ran
into the passenger side of the car. To date, I've not hit a deer head
on, but that doesn't mean I won't.

Your simple-minded view of the world is laughable.



This is amazing. Harry posts pictures of his deck posts, his back
door, his basement cabinets, his printer, his cats, them paving his
street (which he calls his driveway) and every other mundane aspect of
his life. Yet, he gets hit by a deer 4 times, has one jump over his
car (which was a popular video on YouTube) yet he never mentioned it
when it happened.

LOL, yeah right.
I had one jump over my car. I don't remember how fast I was driving
back then but it wasn't slow.

Good job, that used to be one of Harry's favorite insults. Remember his
new on is bat**** crazy and mooks. Hold off on using those for a few
weeks so it doesn't sound like you are riding on his coattails.
