Hidden Negative Effect from High Gas Prices

Random though while driving up north this weekend...

With gas prices here on Long Island up to $4.35 for regular, its causing another problem that very few people have mentioned.

Because the price per gallon is so high, its near impossible to fill your tank up to a nice round dollar amount number once the pump initially stops. I'll get to $49.98, just tap the gas handle for a spilt second and it goes up to $50.02. Then I'll try and round up again and the same thing happens. Anyone else noticing this?

Dave, Hey,what is going on? Help J and I settle an arguement.I knowyou'llhave some insight on this issue. It's going to seem pretty stupid-OK Well for a bridesmaid questionaire, it asked our favorite candy. I mentioned Twix or rolos. J argues that chocolate is not candy,and stands alone as chocolate. Candy he defines is like twizzlers or sour patch kids for example. He can't see like a Hersey bar being candy. I say if itis put in the candy aisle or uses excessive amounts of sugar,it's candy! Thoughts. What is your favorite by the way?
Love ya Gen

Hmmmm...I would definitely say that Hershey's is a candy bar. Anything that you see at a supermarket check out counter is considered candy. The only thing I can't see as being candy would be fudge...since fudge is fudge.

Razzles is another weird one...is it a candy or a gum? Is gum considered candy? I have to think about this some more now...

My favorite candy is frozen rainbow Nerds with a glass of milk. I enjoy taking a handful of Nerds, having a sip of milk, let the flavor dissolve into the milk in my mouth, swallow the milk, and then eat the sugar crystals that are left behind...its delicious.
