Nerys, I admire your thriftiness. We could all take a lesson. Wasted pennies = wasted dollars. I heard a report last week that every person that has a cell phone pays an obscure tax (or fee) (in the fine print of our bill) that goes to the federal govt. so that the govt can issue FREE cell phones and 250 FREE minutes to people who qualify. Maybe ya'll in PA are paying more than your "fair share" with that 24% tax. :D

yes 250. so I am 190 over that.

but so far its holding up. the manufacturer said they think it will hold up fine that the rear wheel might prove to be a problem but the frame should take the weight.

so far frame and wheel are holding

that seat is amazing. ZERO back pain which was the second thing that got me off the bike before.

first was the tires flattening under my mass (these tires are higher pressure and holding up very well so far)

the semi recumbent position also reduces the "friction" drag in the "crotch" area (another problem on a regular bike) and a big problem when your seriously fat :-) your thighs rub RAW

also the semi recumbent "de pressures" my hands. IE regular bike your kind of always "leaning forward" a bit this pushes the palms of your hands INTO the handlebars.

when your 450 pounds you push a LOT into those handlebars. enough to take the flesh off the palms of my hands (literally no joke)

that also is no more problems with this bike.

always remember LONG TERM. that $4.39 bugs me but normally there is nothing you can do about it. in this case "I" can do something about it so logically I must do something about it.

remember its NOT $4 its $4 times 12 months times 10 years (assuming you will keep it 10 years etc..)

that is around $500 almost as much as I paid for my geo.

suddenly not a "tiny" amount of money anymore ehh ?

if a part of my taxes goes toward that program I am 100% for that. its a very good program. sure its abused but how much really? you only get 250 minutes.

will some use it to get their drugs? sure but many many more will use it to call family to stay in touch. to call for help. a lot of good can come from a program like that and its an absolute disgrace to "not" do something like that in such an advanced society.

I don't want a nanny state but THAT kind of program DEFINITELY falls within the moral and constitution bounds of the "common good"

There is no "good" in taking the working taxpayers' money and giving ANYTHING to layabouts.

The hope and idea is that it'll go to people who are trying to better their lives and just need a hand to get up. It'll get abused like any other system, but if it helps anyone out it's a noble goal.

Woman hoards 30 government phones




Sure, this is just one person. But this is what these lousy good for nothing pieces of shit do.
It's all they know. That's what happens when you suck on the government teat all your life.

Back on topic.
Just pay the tax.
Write letters, send emails to your powers that be, get a facebook group started. Make your voice heard. Being silent will accomplish nothing.

This is what offering the government teat creates. The mere offer of a handout is insidious, it is a small minority of people who would not be corrupted by it.

if ron paul could not make a dent gary johnson sadly is not even remotely on the radar. he is not even queuing to be on the radar. our system is so rigged and corrupt its insane.

I don't want to pay the tax. its that simple. I will eventually find a legit oregon/nevada/idaho address. The only reason I don't want to use a random address is because that "is" a form of fraud and even though I have 0 chance of repercussions "I" will know and that is enough

OH man that reminds me. I HAVE a potential legit address I can use !!! we order from a friend who owns a company in nevada (I think its nevada) gonna have to check that!

I live in Oregon but why not just look up some Joe Poke in a OR phone book and use his address (especialy if he wont get mail)?

Oops did I just say that :whistle

Gizmo, how would you know if a random person gets their mail?

Also, with all the fraud, if I started getting mail for someone out of state, I would go to the post office.

while no mail will be sent (billing address not shipping address) to me that while maybe not "fraud" legally (unclear) it is "fraudulent" morally to use someone elses address without their consent.

IE I want to save money not do something immoral even if not illegal. hence seeking permission :-)
