You might want to switch to a bank that doesn't have a maple leaf in the logo.

Nah, you're not alone. Additionally, most gas pumps ask for a zip code and balk at something only six characters long. There's a workaround, but I can't remember it now.

it would be illegal... but yes. seems a bit silly to pay for your gas first, what if you just want to fill the tank?

The pump doesn't charge your card until you're done pumping. You swipe your card, put in your pin, then you pump the gas. When you finish pumping and hang the nozzle up, you are charged for how much you pumped. Seems like a fairly logical way to do it.

I guess Canadians are just too basic to steal.

It is only awkward/silly if you are paying in cash. You pay first then fill the tank but if the amount is less than you paid then you have to go back inside for your change. Unless you want the gas station to keep your change.

Hard to argue with this. I could try, but I'm too tired.

Tried making a Dr.s Appt. but they are closed. Something about firecrackers and Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture.

Reach behind your skull. Now move down until you feel the first big spine bone. Last night while trying to cook dinner I was getting hit with massive pain in that area that was so bad it brought me to my knees. Finally had to give up and have Linda finish things up while I laid in bed.

I absolutely need another skull X-Ray. Linda, Sherri, and Mike are all really worried. I'm down down below 140 pounds and have absolutley no desire to eat.

WTF?

Maybe I should get some pot. And some Cherry Pop Tarts?
