I’m glad you got your money’s worth. I have some control over the blurbs, but summarizing a plot in two paragraphs or less is beyond my skill.
I shave my melon. I don’t know what the hell these “haircuts” y’all are talking about.
Kind of the same thing, only imagine the blade anywhere from centimeters to inches to feet farther out from the scalp.
I really fucking hate it when people post to the end of the multiple page thread, without reading the thread. Often they post the EXACT same thing that’s been said multiple times, or post something that was disproved pages ago. Mini rant, but VERY annoying.
Man, you guys, it really pisses me off when someone comes into a thread and posts something when they clearly haven’t read almost any of the other posts. It never fails that their issue has already been brought up by someone else–maybe more than one person.
Ha, nice!
Since I don’t have energy for a true thread:
Fuck Everything and Everybody* in my life right now.
*except my grandson. He hasn’t done anything to earn my ire yet…
Hmmm.. and I thought it was beer and Laverne and Shirley…
Are you blowing off every leaf on the fucking trees? STOP ALREADY!
Dear City
Yes, every time we have a winter thaw ice jams up at the storm sewer and it floods a big puddle at the foot of my driveway (yes, rookie mistake on my part, buying a house with a storm sewer at the foot of my driveway.) Every year, several times, you bring your trucks out and open up the sewer, or thaw out the catch basin, or do that which needs doing.
Then you say “oh thats going on the list for summer repairs.”
Two years in a row you have “repaired it” by putting cold patch around the area, and have buit the area up so much now water cannot flow into it… its now like the grate is in the middle of a saucer and you are wondering why water doesn’t flow up hill into a bowl?
Also, across from me is a huge puddle too. No storm sewer on that side of the street, do you know why there is a giant freaking lake there?
Because across the street from me is a huge building on top of a hill. Then a big grassy slope, then curbing, then the street. Water flows down hill. I’m sorry that geography, topography and physics do not seem to be in the city plan, but the problems won’t go away. I realize you probably are NOT going to tear up my street and re do the block and the sewers they way they should be done, but since my street is a major bus route you DO have to do something about the puddles.
Which are now skating rinks.
Oh and transportation lady for the school bus lines? Seriously check your facts before you get on this “student must be on sidewalk in front of house” crap. No sidewalk on several blocks either side of me. “No sidewalks on south Whomacallit Street? I find that hard to believe.”
Nope, no sidewalks. Google it. You can see my house, my driveway, my yard. My kid’s bike. No sidewalks. None.
Or do a drive by. Whatever. Do not argue with me that I have a sidewalk when I don’t. I do not care what your map says, it is wrong. Every day I go out in my yard and see my not a sidewalk drive past my not a sidewalk, and in the summer I take my son to the playground so he doesn’t have to ride his bike on our Not a Sidewalk.
grrr
I called Best Buy at 9:00 on the dot, right when they opened. I want to spend several thousand dollars with them on replacing a theatre system. The recording said there was one person ahead of me. That was 60 frikkin’ minutes ago and still no one has answered my call. Seriously, on hold for an hour plus? WTF?
Mom says: “Please don’t post any more pictures of your pregnant belly. It’s too painful to look at. Looks like it’s full of a whole lotta baby. So is it 62nd percentile for where you are now in the pregnancy, or for full-term babies?”
The nosepads on all my glasses are really bothering the skin on my nose (leaving deep impressions) and I can’t wear contacts. I also can’t tolerate the really thin lenses. Sigh. My latest pair of glasses seem to be off in some way - I’m having a hard time focusing with one eye. My eye doctor has already checked the prescription. I guess I’ll just remember my mom and my grandma and how they struggled to see anything and count my blessings.
Well, isn’t that special. After holding for Best Buy for 98 goddamn ass-withering incompetance-laden shit-noodling brain-numbing minutes, I’ve been disconnected.
Best Buy suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuks.
Haha - that’s when you punched her in the face, right? Oh mothers.
When I last bought a TV, I went into a branch of a much smaller west coast chain. I found someone to help me right away, I was treated like a reasonably intelligent person, I found out what I needed to know, and I bought a TV. I probably paid a few dollars more than I would have paid at Best Buy, but I was so happy at the process that I didn’t care. I still don’t care. I expect to go back there (Video Only) the next time I have something video to buy.
You have much more patience (or something) than I. I would not have held on the phone for more than 15 minutes. Just sayin’.

It was on speaker while I continued to work. After awhile I’d pretty much decided to shop elsewhere but left it going just out of curiosity. If I’d been at home with a phone to my ear I wouldn’t have gone past 2 minutes.
Strangely, there is not a current Sarah Palin rant so I’ll just put this here.
Why does the media keep forcing her down our throats? “The First Lady commented on something, let’s get Sarah’s reaction!”
Then there’s Palin who keeps doing anything she can to stay in the spotlight, “Michelle Obama encouraged women to breast feed, let’s mock that while poking fun at the crappy economy that we blame Obama for, even though his predecessor left him with that steaming pike of crap. But let’s make sure to film me seated wearing a too tight/too short skirt so all the men will be mesmerized by my sexiness and not actually pay any attention to anything I say! It’s a win/win!”
To hold your attention until, hopefully, an ad comes on. They do this because you watch.
I don’t. I reach for the remote. This recent blurb on her was thankfully, very short but it will probably be repeated often.
I pit MTV’s 16 an pregnant.
I now see 16-year-olds intentionally getting pregnant just for a chance to appear on the show. Not that it’s not already glaringly obvious, but MTV is an unscrupulous slime-pit.
