fuel-related threads

[RayIN]

There's getting to be so many individual threads started on the same subject to be classified as unnecessary forum clutter. The solution is up to management, but it causes forum use to be slower and aggravating to me, since there absolutely nothing any of can do that will affect fuel prices.

I've only seen 2. One EV related that I asked Don to do as a lot of people want to ignore EV related topics....

Like Jackiemac, I see only two, but there are a few more that mention fuel costs in the context of a recent trip report.

We often talk about the weather too. It helps relieve the frustration of our inability to change it.

You could set those threads to IGNORE if you wish, Ray.

As if this forum was that busy these days.

Sorry, folks. I'm out of sorts this past week. My closest cousin was like my big brother; he died Monday last, and is buried tomorrow.

Oh Ray how awful. That must be painful for you and yours. Condolences. Sending hugs.

I'm sorry for your loss, Ray. Condolences...

Well, I'm beside myself this evening. I attended the burial today. He was cremated. The family all arrived before the set burial time. The last to arrive was the funeral home woman arrived wearing a black outfit which was black tights and black sweater carrying the vault to contain the urn. She was accompanied by a girl who was carrying a brown paper bag with the urn inside.
The vault company had one young man there, he arrived after the funeral home woman. Then he had to quickly setup the site.
The woman in black kinda jokingly said something about bear with us. She placed the urn in the small square vault and could not push the lid down hard enough to seal, she had to ask a family member to push the lid on until it fastened.
i kept my mouth closed because i knew if I began speaking it would go downhill instantly.
Thank for tolerating my venting. BTW,, tomorrow I will visit the funeral home owner and the vault company owner, or make an appt. to do so when/if I'm told the owner is unavailable.

If I don't post for a while, It might be because my DW hasn't posted bail yet.

Some people are very thoughtless. It sounds rather unprofessional. These things can be upsetting.

I usually try to find humour in these situations as it can help me. If your cousin had a good sense of humour try to think what witty comments he might have made about it.

This morning DW talked me into keeping my mouth shut and letting it go; I'm now good with that. Each person has their own capabilities/limitations that others (me) don't understand at first.
