My Momma On Losing Your Credit Card

This is already the 3rd post I have made about my mom, but she is too funny sometimes. Just now, she was telling me not to lose the credit card in her account, because it has a very high credit line. Her exact words (in Chinese) were "Make sure you don't lose the credit card, because it has a high limit, and if you do, someone might take it and go use it to go get gas for free."

Hahahahaha of all the things you could do with a stolen credit card, my mom is most afraid of people filling up their car with a tank of gas. The funny thing is that I think I remember her telling me the same thing a few years ago. Yes, you know that is the most lucrative scam for credit card thieves, they just go and drive their car around until they hit empty, and then fill up courtesy of Mrs. Chen. Soon enough those $20 spots will add up. I bet they wouldn't hesitate choose premium, either. Those bastards...

Although I must say, the last 2 times I filled up, the charge came up well over $30. As much fun as this car is to drive, it eats gas like a mofo. With me driving about 60 miles a day just to and from work, that's gonna add up.

Since this post is short, I'll post a link to take up some more of your time. Play this game called Spear Toss if you haven't already, it's fun. Basically you just click once to start the guy running forward, then click and hold as he raises the spear, then release when you want him to throw it. I think the idea is to release as close to the foul line without crossing it, and at a 45 degree angle. That's what I learned from 10th grade Physics in Mr. Wiemerschlage's class.
