What are you thinking at the moment?

[pctec]

Now Im thinking about fixing my car this weekend... Oh joy!

Two balljoints, two CV boots, an outer tie rod end(I already changed the other one), two sway bar link kits...

Part cost me around $350 and specialty tools cost me another $125

Id much rather buy a tool than to pay someone else to do it though

[Julie]

Man, I hate having to get cars fixed. I had to drop $600 last week to get my one car fixed

I think my interview went well.. I hope I get the job! It would be a nice raise. *crossing my fingers*

[pctec]

I too hope you get the job
Good luck

Thought:

Why can you receive a Canadian quarter from an American vending machine but you can't put one in? The Coke machine nearby keeps giving me Canadian quarters in change, but it spits them out immediately if I try to use them. How did the things get in there in the first place?!?!!

That makes my neurons zap: you can spend American money in Canada, but you can't spend Canadian money in America. Tim Horton's graciously accepted my Andrew Jacksons and Abe Lincolns but, across the border, McDonald's wanted nothing to do with my Polar Bears and Loonies. Who makes these bizarre rules?

[Julie]

It's because American $ is worth more. $0.25 Canadian isn't $0.25 American.

[ewomack]

Of course. But Canadians will split the difference via the exchange rate. Why can't Americans do the same?!??

[waffles]

That would make too much sense. After all, this is America. What do you espect?

[Julie]

Americans, in general, are too stupid to figure out exchange rates. Do you really expect that from the 15 yr old at Mickey D's?

Thats not really fair. American's aren't thick in general, it's just anyone that has power, ie Bush!

Mickey D's in the US...

Here is a story for you...
I went to Boston once and before I came back I went to get something to eat. I ordered a big mac meal and when I tried to hand the girl a $20 CDN bill she backed up fast like I was trying to stick the place up! She said they cant take that. I said why the hell not, we take YOUR money! Good thing my buddy had some american cash on him...

[megamoose]

Or if you ask someone who works in McDonalds and forget to put the prefix Mac in front of it they'll have no clue what your talking about.

They don't understand: Give me some fries but they understand: Give me some MacFries Stupid Disney!!
