1. Now let this be a lesson to you

What you should have done was made more money. It really wouldn't have an impact on you if you were wealthy enough, if you were worthy of being wealthy enough. Now you second class citizens just need to be quiet so you don't disturb anyone.

but i am sorry to tell you that i will NOT be able to give you that Flowbee you wanted for Christmas this year.

you better ask Jesus for it

3. How much oil does it take for a winter?

Of course, I know it depends on the weather and how warm one keeps the house and all, but just a ballpark figure for those of us who've never heated with oil.

10. If only..

13. Well, At Least There's No Inflation To Worry About! Huh?

If one includes the direct cost of energy (gas and heating) the inflation rate, for a household at the national median income, is more than 1.2% higher than reported. That would make the absolute inflation rate higher than at any time since 1979.

Strong economy, my foot.

14. Same here except with natural gas..our budget has been $120 a month

for a few years now. We opt for the budget plan instead of getting those extremely high bills in the winter. In August, we were informed our new budget amount has gone up to $180 a month..an increase of $720 a yr.
