What’s everyone doing these days? Any spanking going on
our there? There was one started here the other day, but it was cut short by a
phone call. I might have mentioned that I’m a little on the spoiled side. Nick
takes care of lots of ‘stuff’ around here. But he’s asked me to do something
that, to be honest, I didn’t pay much attention. He doesn’t want me to let the
car get below an eighth of a tank of gas. I do remember him mentioning it, but
then never thought about it again.
It’s not that he worries about me running out –
but he has pointed out that with the age of his parents and with Mollie living
out of town there is always the chance we’ll need to make a hurried trip some
time, especially to his parents and he said he doesn’t want to worry about
stopping for gas.
Makes sense, but I never seem to think of the gas
until the light comes on. In fact we got the car a few years ago in April and I
didn’t put gas in the car myself until August of that year when I took a trip
alone. Nick swears I plan it so that the car only needs gas on the weekends. I
see no problem with that myself but apparently now it’s a spankable offense.
Maybe now that I’ve blogged about it, it will
stick in my mind. See how you all help me?
LOL PK...when I got my license, my dad had a rule if I wanted to borrow my mom's car...had to bring it back with as much gas as when it left or 1/2 tank...whichever was more. Amazingly, my mom's tank was always under 1/2. *sigh* Dad said the car ran just as well on the top 1/2 as the bottom and my ex had the same attitude...if he caught my tank under 1/2, it was a spankable offense. I am now in the habit of filling up when my tank hits 1/2 full. Good luck in remembering. BTW...hope you are feeling better...continuing to send prayers and healing energy.

I just forget to look, I don't drive far each day so a tank last a long time. I guess I need to start looking.
DeleteLoL PK, I admit, that wasn't the type of gas I immediately thought of when I read the title lol. Good luck remembering...or not?:)

Roz
Yeah, which way to go?
DeleteOh come on PK, if this is a spankable offence you are never going to fill it up are you? lol. I wouldn't either, sigh...
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
If I run out he might not come get me!
DeleteLOL! PK, Bear won't let his get below 1/2 tank but I don't fill it so I'm safe.
ReplyDeleteHope you remember to fill in future. Like Roz I thought you meant different gas also.

Well there's gas and there's gas. Obviously, Nick doesn't think I have enough of one of them.
DeletePK, LOL. Same as Roz, it wasn't the gas I thought you meant. I wonder if you'll remember.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Blogger are my comment!
ReplyDeleteI am the same way with gas! I hate filling my tank. Frankly, I never think about it. When I do think about it I procrastinate! My Scotsman is often infuriated by this habit!
Please let us know what the doc says about you!
Usually either Mollie or Nick is in the car when I need gas and they pump for me.
DeleteI was of the same mind as Roz and Ronnie. I thought, 'Oh, no' now PK has leg cramps, fatigue, a cold, and a gas problem!" Poor woman!
ReplyDeleteJan is right, though. Just think of the consequences for running out of gas and having to call Nick for help. I can see the grin on your face!

I'm glad that is not one of my medical problems! As for the other - I guess it can be a problem or not.
Deleteso glad to be of help :-) though are we hoping you remember or that you forget??? Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'll have to work on that.
DeleteRay always told me not to let the car get below 1/4 of a tank when we lived in cold climes. Now, it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, in my house, there are no spankable offenses, at least none on a regular basis.
Bless Nick's heart, I doubt he really cares that much, but he know I like stuff like that.
DeleteI did a double take on gas too. It means something different over here. I have say, you'd be in big trouble if you forgot!
ReplyDeleteI'll remember it, just don't know if I'll get it or not.
DeleteLol PK! This title made me stop and pause...then giggle a bit! The gas tank is not a spankable offense for me. It probably should be though. I always seem to be down to the red line. And many a time have I called TBG in a panic thinking I would t make it to a gas station with the amount of gas left in the car!
