What in the world is the point of saying "We will see"? ToddAC, I didn't SAY anything. That was merely my thought at the time. It was like a dramatic pause. It was an "aside", if you will. It was a bit like film noir dialogue. Gemela says she will never leave again. Suddenly the lights dim, the spotlight shines on me. I turn to the side and say to the audience "we will see". Get a grip dude.

last week my Chevy Tahoe was sucking fumes so I went to fill it up at the gas station. I had to pay $14.74 USD to fill it and I was livid. Gas prices are outrageous. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
At least living in he!! has a few compensations.

Well both parent-teacher conferences went extremely well and both girls are doing very well in school. The teachers had no complaints and adore the girls.

Um Todd - I don't get it - looks fine to me. It costs me $0.82 US for 1 litre. a Gallon is 3.78l so a gallon costs 3.78*.82=$3.10 Well, my mental impairment really manifests itself in the math arena. Really stings. And my problem with reading comprehension has been well documented on these pages. But, it seems to me that if 1 gallon= 3.785412 Liters, wouldn't you simply multiply the cost per liter - $1.12 - by 3.785412 to derive the cost per gallon?

Yes Todd - but ONLY if I was trying to give you the cost per gallon in AUSTRALIAN dollars. I was converting it to US$'s because my experience with Americans - or at least Texans is that they can't grasp things unless they are quoted in US measures AND US dollars. Stand by for the aquanet.......

Well, my mental impairment really manifests itself in the math arena. Well try this on for size. Do you realize that: an ounce of silver weighs more than an ounce of lead but a pound of silver weighs less than a pound of lead? Boggles the mind!

Australian dollars? Who cares about stinkin' Aus. dollars? Do you call it a dollar? Wait, let me just check the daily commodity indices to see who is hedging their currencies against the Australian dollar....hmmm...no...don't see any......that's because nobody in their right mind would! ToddAC, Have you ever tried to tear an Australian bill? Can't be done. It is really tough stuff. Rumor has it that it is made from leftover Outback steaks.
