    Default Boy Did I Luck Out

    Well this morning I was getting pretty low on gas especially with going to the ICU everyday to see Leisa. Anyways, the Chevron right off exit 14 and GA400 each morning gets new supplies of gas, so this morning I get there at 6:00am thinking the line that early wont be to long, well it was about a 2 hour wait so I head to work hoping to find something. I get on 141 to go to the office and I pass this Kroger and I see they have gas so I make a quick U-Turn and pull in through the side and I see the line extends all the way around the parking lot. So I then come back out to 141 and about take a left to head to work and figure I will try coming int hrough the front because there was NO LINE there and I figured they would make me get in the line... Well I pull in, he points me to pump#3 and no wait, I get a full tank and as I leave, I still see the long line that hasnt moved. God just allowed me to see my baby the next few nights without having to worry about gas, Now if he would just let her awake from the coma, this would be a great week.

    Thats great news man. Im still car pooling with my woman since I cant find premium in the Buckhead area. Even regular gas forms an hour long line that I just cant wait in.

    Still pulling for Leisa, man!

    Sounds like gas is far worse in the Atlanta area....people direct you to pumps and stuff? Line here the wait it about 5 minutes.

    Congrats on the good gas getting morning though for sure!

    I totally lucked out this weekend. I was playing some COD4 late into Saturday night/Sunday morning and my wife calls me on her way home from her friend's house and tells me that the QT around the corner from our house has just had the tanker in the lot. So, 3:30am Sunday I run the near empty Tib over there and fill up. Best part about that early in the morning......no lines.

    my sisters boyfriend didnt know that even pumps in warner robins were running out of premium. he was all excited to tell me he got his fully built 350sb, 600hp S10 insured. i laughed and said, "you know there is no gas for it right?" he just had a dumb look on his face. it was priceless!

    back on topic, thats good to hear brett. she will pull through man.

    I was on fumes Saturday and freaking out about how I am going to go anywhere, even make it to my house. I end up going to my girlfriend's apartment in Kennesaw to take care of some things for her while she is out of town, end up falling asleep on her couch, wake up at 4am. I think to myself "I better see if I can find gas." I leave, go to Chevron on Chastain and they have gas, with NO LINE! I get gas, and as a bonus, for some reason one of my friends is up there with two police officers getting arrested for Public drunkinness LOL! Yay for having gas!

    She will make it Brett! I'm sure of it!

    Well you have to remember that doctors are not going to just come out and say "she will be fine" unless she is actually awake. Remember what Brandon (Ruiner) said about himself? The doctors were telling his family that he wasn't going to make it and look at him now. Keep the faith homie. Don't give up. I'm going to try like hell to make it down there today since I finally have gas again to see you and her since I have today off. You said you are going to be there around 4:30?

    Getting up early is the key. I got up at 5 this morning to fill up. Good luck with your wife's recovery, we're all pulling for her.

    The doctors will always tell you the bad. Never the good. You'll never hear a doctor say oh yeah he will move his leg then the opposite happens a few months down the road.

    So keep that thought in the back of your head man.

    She'll pull through.
