Wish she had a bang list .....
She does, but it appears that the only one on it is her hubby, Mutt!

That was one of the reasons that I was going in, although they dropped the amounts back they gave you recently...
Those "cheesy 'tank bank' cards" were great. For those of you who don't know what they are, they're cards that you would hand the clerk every time you purchased something on the list. For instance, a bottle of Snapple got me 5 cents, 2 1 liter bottle of water were on sale for $2 and you also got 5 cents again. Certain candy bars, pain relievers, and other items on the lists also got you "cents" off.
The key here though, is those cents off were CENTS OFF PER GALLON. For instance, I would stop off every monrning for 2 Snapples and 2 bottles of water. That worked out to .75 off of the price of every gallon of gas when I filled up. So when gas was $1.90 a gallon, I was paying $1.15 for 12 gallons, all because of that card and from buying stuff I was going to get anyway.
It was a pretty good deal at the time.

LaPierre spoke at a rally to support Idabel employees fired by Weyerhaeuser because they kept legally owned firearms safely stored in their locked vehicles in a public access company parking lot.
Since the firings, the Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill to prevent such terminations, but ConocoPhillips filed a federal lawsuit to block the protective measure.
"Can I use Mobil 1 and Sheetz in PA without problem? I think so, but I'm not sure. "
From Sheetzs' web site.
Sheetz, Inc. is not in the business of buying or refining crude oil from any country. Furthermore, we do not import gasoline but instead buy it on a domestic basis (already imported). Therefore, we do not know or control where the crude oil or gasoline comes from. We buy gasoline (a product made from crude oil), for example, indirectly via the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex). We are then supplied with the actual gasoline product by three main U.S. refineries -- Sunoco, ConocoPhillips, and El Paso -- who are in the business of purchasing and refining crude oil.
Just damn. When I did pulp wood logging, my boss handed me an 870 short barrelled shotgun & a big box of shells. It fit very nicely into the custom shotgun rack in the skidder.

My brother passed on to be with the Lord at 11:00 on Monday night. Please keep his family in your prayers.

Thanks, not sure why I didn't see that in the article.
Is the picture rule in force on this post?
Moving to a .50 only solved the problem for the first shot. ;o)
I have actually been boycotting them since the mid 70's.
I've never seen the AK rule invoked for Shania, but you could always start a new tradition.
I wonder how they found out these employees had guns in their cars.
Yeah, but would be provding one to someone else.
Got them. Will do.
"I wonder how they found out these employees had guns in their cars."
Probably polygraph tests. I suppose they could also ask to search everyones cars too, although I suspect someone might take them to court over that. Refuse to take a polygraph test though and you lose your job. I wouldn't want to work for a company that forced you to take a polygraph anyway.
You can tell that it must be a miserable place to work because the only reason I can think they wouldn't want employees to have guns in their cars is because they are afraid one of them will go 'postal' and shoot up the place.

Is because the wrong entity is chosen for the boycott. Here in California I hope the gun groups will back a boycott of the California National Guard. If the state takes away 2nd. Amendment rights, why should the citizens of that state volunteer for the "State Militia". Oh, there will be a few officers, NCO's and "specialists" with close to 20 or 30 years, but there will be no "troops" to drill. The California National Guard can go drill with frogs and mice.
