You know, there are just some things in life you have no say in, as much as you’d like to be able to control them. Things like the weather, or traffic.
Now what’s really, really bothering me right now is that TinyTot has lost one of his two front teeth, the other one is loose and he is making no effort to get it out. None! And it’s only 24 more days til Christmas! Dangit, I wanted so badly to send out a toothless picture of Nicholas this year, and now it looks like we won’t have the time. Grrrrr.* And next year, the new teeth will be in…waaah.
So, go ahead and share those little things that you know you shouldn’t complain about, since it’s pointless, but it’s really driving you nuts.
*[sub]I know, I could just yank it out, but I’m scared to. Then again, he’s only got one front tooth, so if he bites me, it can’t do that much damage, can it?[/sub]
What I wish I could control/resolve is this whole Florida ballot thing. I’m sick of it dominating the news and I’m sicker of every moron who comes up randomly on ICQ and feels he has to comment on it. Mebbe I should take my location out of my profile??
Anyway, I move that we ban the use of the word “Chad” for 60 days… all in favor??
Assuming you’re not yanking my chain - chad refers to the little punched-out bits of ballots - also any little confetti-like stuff resulting from punching out cards or paper or whatever.
Not to be confused with Jeremy’s partner… or am I dating myself here…??
He won’t eat taffy or anything nice and gooey. Or anything hard, because he can’t bite very well with only one front tooth.
Darn it all, but is it too much to ask to have one perfect Christmas complete with toothless child singing “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”?
I am thinking of shipping this child back and exchanging him for a more meek, cooperative model.
And I wish I were in charge of the mail. I would invest in teleporters, I would.
Then I could open a worldwide gravity utility… Gravco.
My pitch -
Thank you for choosing Gravco, the only supplier of gravity on planet earth. For the low low cost of one dollar per year you too can enjoy the benefits that gravity brings. Order now and we will waive the installation fee and remember, this offer won’t last long.
You don’t want to be the only people on your block without gravity do you?
Act now!
Gravco, the #1 supplier of gravity now… and forever.
I’d instantly be richer than Bill Gates and I don’t see people not paying their bill.
There wouldn’t be any complaints of gravity failure either…
I was not, I honestly did not know. I even asked a few people I know and they had no idea what I was talking about. Thanks for the information, now I can go on with my life with that extra bit of knowledge.
They’re out of those. They’re always out of them. I know, because I check every year.
I don’t know how old TinyTot is, but my 7 1/2 year old finally lost the second of her two front teeth. Two days after school pictures were taken. And the day before they were taken, she’d somehow gotten the loose tooth twisted around sideways and wedged in so that it looked like a fang growing dead-center in the front of her mouth. I was really tempted to ask her not to smile, but I figured what the hell, it’ll be funny in a few years.
As for what I can’t control but want to? Everything and everyone. I could run this whole show so much better than it’s being done now if all of you would just let me.
At a mere $1 per person per year (and assuming everyone buys in), it’d be in the neighborhood of about 6-8 years before you’d be richer than Bill Gates.
Just had to share that because it kind of puts things in perspective, I think. Carry on.
Assuming 6 billion people on the planet, and that everyone pays or gets paid for, that’d be an even 6 billion a year. Now, to pass BG himself, you’d been $49 billion. That’s roughly 8 years and a few months. Assuming you don’t spend any of it.
