I think that is the quick way to go through multiple spouses. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I also *still* feel this same way. I am better than I use to be, but I still hold back, thinking "eh, well, I don't want to get people worked up."

My internet connection on my laptop has been extremely iffy ever since Mr. Clod "upgraded" our wireless a few days ago. He insists it couldn't possibly be related. Harrumph.

How come Zappos can manage to ship things in a few hours, for free - but other places charge more than what you paid for any one item, and it takes them 4 days to even begin the shipping process????
I want my shit!!!

buy your shit from zappos. I learned my lesson.

Always having to play the bad cop because no-one else will

Unable to help with frustration felt by daughter at getting "Spaghettis" on her braces -9 rubber bands that she must put on each night for a week which effectively wire her jaws shut. The plus side is in a week her braces come off for good.

be sure she uses her retainer! I wish I had. Made the last year of braces sort of pointless.

Seriously? Irony much?

More irony. The building is near Music Man Square.

"There's trouble, there's trouble right here in River City"

Ha! Is it only obvious to certain people, like how only dogs can hear dog whistles?

I have two phone lines, one just for the computer and my home phone. A storm took out my home line almost 2 weeks ago. One time they said oh we fixed it. It works when it rains :rolleyes: Well it's not fixed. So another appointment.

The phone guy comes to my gate with the electric fence and hangs a note saying its in my house . :eyebrow: I know its not in my house I plugged the phone in outside in the box and there is no dial tone.[ that's what they tell you to do to prove to them its not in your house] When there is no dial tone, that means the line to box is fubar.

It was raining that day and he did not want to get wet so he BSed his way out of fixing my phone. That was Tuesday. No other appointments available until Friday am. WTF? :mad:

Ouch. That suxors ...

Dumb people. They're everywhere.

Huh - the 6-day business trip to Philadelphia that was supposed to end this Thursday has been extended because instead of coming back here, he will fly to Saudi Arabia for at least a week. So much for the baseball game this weekend!

My God I know isn't that the truth!

It's the only way I can get it to make even the tiniest bit of sense in my head. Otherwise I look around and think "jebus you're stupid!" and too many "jebus you're stupids" in one day makes for a very long and tiring day. Suddenly you look back and it's 4 years later and you're still stuck in "jebus you're stupid" land. No way to live. In fact, I feel on the verge, on this very day. It's unavoidable, really. ;)

Damn mosquitoes. Mosquito bite on my left wrist is mildly irritating me.

Bite 'em back. :haha:

Mosquito stew! Not a bad idea. *pukes*

I've reached an age where the tensile strength of my nose hair exceeds NASA standards. :mad2:

Could you use it to string your bow?

If only it were less coarse! :yelsick:

Wow! You are on a roll today Pete.
:lol2:

Helping my wife and youngest child pack for her to leave for college in the am.

Spiderman is stinky.

The ketchup bottle. And the realization that although it's nearly empty, the next one is already bought and of the same stupid design.

All the freaking hoohaa over that stupid-sounding new movie Eat Pray Fuck Love.

Oh swoon, another story about someone who is OH SO HURT but then finds LOVE while jaunting around the world to get over being OH SO HURT. Yeah, that's what I did after my divorce, jaunted around to get over my HURRRRRTTTTTTTTT. Oh right, I didn't do that. I kept going to work and trying to get through every day.

Early reviews don't give me any reason to think otherwise.

Boo-de-hoo, even an appearance by the underrated Richard Jenkins won't make me go to the theater to see this tripe. But it's going to be a HUGE blockbuster. Sigh.


However, I'm very excited about Scott Pilgrim!

shawnee, you need to stop bottling stuff up. spit it out, tell us how you really feel. We'll still respect you in the morning

:lol:

I know, right?

I hope someone finds my rants as funny as I do. If not, oh well. I crack myself up, which is what really matters. ;)

I washed my wallet.

:(

I don't think that that's what they mean by money laundering.

Found a bunch of these going up behind the soffet today.
It sounds as though they are munching on wood :(

The usual pesticides for wasps, flying insects, ants don't seem to be touching them.

I think they are small bumble bees (Bombus ?), and if so the only recommendations I have found say to leave them till they die in the Fall or Winter.

Anyone have any other ideas ?

They look like Carpenter Bees.

Thanks Bruce, I'll look into getting a better ID tomorrow...

Do you have a fondue pot?

Carpenter bees have a shiney black tail when you see them out in the light. They tend to bore these remarkably precise holes... Somebody else here had them recently. You may have some soggy wood up there.

:eek: That thing is HUGE! :eek:

BBC news website and TV keep writing/saying "over-exaggerated". NgrNgrrrr :mad2:

I'm sitting here at the PA drivers license center waiting to get my photo taken for my new drivers license. 16 minutes ago they were on A106. Now they are on A112. My number is A124. The guy behind the counter is an abbrasive jackass. I had no issue with him, but he's being as rude as he possibly can to everyone that approaches him. I just realized that the PO box we used to have is still listed on my card, but I'm afraid to change it for fear that I will lose my place in line.

I asked him when he had a free moment and it would cost me an extra $5 and a longer wait. Dude was literally quivering. I guess he is under a lot of stress doing this job. I feel bad for calling him a jackass now. Sorry dude.

Somehow a piece of green pepper ended up in my salad. Blech yech blah bleh spit ptooey. Damn those are the nastiest tasting things EVER, except for coconut. Two things that make me sick just from the smell.

Put yourself in the driver's license guy's shoes man. He has to deal with the general public, who have been systematically annoyed and made to wait, and he's the last guy they see in the process, and he tells them whether or not they can drive.

We had them, you could see sawdust on the plants underneath. They were in the neighbours too, they have 'a guy' who came round and dug them out with a scraper, then sprayed insecticide, all gone.

Yep.

Add to that the fact that some imbecile put green peppers in the salad his doctor has mandated for lunch and I'd start watching for gasoline soaked, ammonium nitrate laden trailers...

snort! Seriously, no wonder!

And you're funny, Griff. :)

But mildly irritating me right now are people who are really bad at being funny yet insist on showing this lacking trait by still trying to be funny everywhere they land. It's painful, and I shouldn't have to watch the shit. I'm embarrassed FOR the dumbasses.

You. Are. Just. Not. Funny.

An accident on the Beltway extended my commute by over an hour...

I feel your pain, HM.

(I'm so less irritated than I was because people are being awesome now!) :)

How redundant is this?

MADD MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS which is to say:

MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS

Be MADD, you have every right to be MADD. Redundancy is repetitive and redundant and it repeats itself repetitively.

I am irritated whenever my son signs up as grubmaster for his Boy Scout camping trips. Because I have to do it all. He's frickin' TWELVE and shops like the frackin' RAIN MAN.

'bout a hundred dollars!

I'm a member of DAMM - Drunks against Mad Mothers. Let's see how they like it.

Mom! It was $102.35, which was 27 cents less than last time. I remember because that is three cubed. And I always buy baked beans here.

I'm sick of working Saturdays. I need a vacation.

That is all.

you know where the vacation is........ ;)

:mecry:

I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Crappin frappin frickin frackin...

FML!

Lil Lookout's team had a substitute coach today who doesn't know any of the kids. He played the kids badly out of position and left LL as a lone forward (not his strongest position) against a team 3 years older than them for the whole game.

LL scored 6 and an assist in a 8-7 loss. Bummer, but no big deal. LL was really upset when we got to the car. He says the coach talked to them after the game and told them to keep their heads up (good), they played great (questionable), and they'll surely win all their games if they can get a better forward (WTF?).

Fucking prick. LL played well but not perfect so I would certainly understand the coach talking to him about some of the things to improve, but to publicly pin all the problems on a 9 year old and completely ignoring the less than well thought out coaching strategy is bullshit.

That coach is an asshole! He shouldn't even be around kids. And they were playing a team 3 years older? 9-year olds against 12-year olds? WTF? Bummer, Lookout!

Hadn't heard of the movie so I googled it. Came up with this review and a pretty good site, it seems.
From:http://www.pajiba.com/film_reviews/e...y-ass-lady.php

:lol: That's perfect, squirrel. Not far off from my "I haven't even seen it" review! She even said Richard Jenkins was good. Of course. :)
