I've had several phone calls today from people doing their taxes that want to know how much they paid for the car, or how much tax they paid, or want me to fax or email them a copy of their bill of sale.

My wife is the volunteer financial bookkeeper at church, working a couple hours each Monday, and even though she sent letters out to everyone at church itemizing their giving for 2009, one woman had the gall to call this afternoon at home to ask her for that information again. So she actually drove across town to the church office to get it for her. She's too nice.

I can't find a place in this county to recycle glass... bothersome.

I hate it when the cats have that minty-fresh kitty litter scent all over them. It's like snuggling up to a public restroom.

My dentist's office is dead to me.

I went in for my 6-month cleaning, and they informed me that the rules have changed, and my calm and quiet daughter in her stroller can no longer come in the back with me while I have my appointment. They explain that this is because "OSHA has really tightened down" on rules about extra people being around when x-rays are being given. I ask if she can wait out in the hallway for the 10 seconds they are x-raying me. They say no. I ask if I can just have a cleaning, since I've never in my life had a cavity and I really don't need my teeth x-rayed, you know? They say no--it is office policy that every patient must receive a full set of x-rays every 6 months.

I did not, in fact, ask them why they saw no blatant contradiction in the fact that everyone must avoid unnecessary x-ray exposure at all costs, but it's totally cool to give me an unnecessary x-ray directly on my face every 6 months. Instead, I just politely let them make me a new appointment, at the time when I would be most likely to be able to find someone to watch my daughter. But they fundamentally didn't understand that "most likely" still doesn't mean anywhere near possible... so I'll just call and cancel the appointment tomorrow when someone different is working at the front desk.

Make sure you explain why you are cancelling it. When they realise this is costing them money, they'll wise up. Maybe.

what assholery, clodfobble. Geez. "OSha really clamping down," my fanny. Dental xrays are nothing but a cash cow.

Total BS. I wish you could come see my dentists but they are in Westchester, NY. As it is we drive 3 hours to see them. Husband and wife team, she's a pediatric dentist, she's awesome.

They'd let the mm and the inchling lay down on our laps when we had our cleanings and fillings done. They are the best.

You deserve a much better dentist, you should kick the whole office in the place you don't love them anymore.

I left my last dentist because they were assholes with the kids. Now I drve 45 minutes to go to a pediatrist dentist for them, and 30 minutes to go to mine. But it's only twice a year, so i can live with it

Paid programming. It's the only thing on in the morning, other than news-type shows. The History, Learning, and Science channels should not show paid programming!

The nasty stuff coming out of my ear has reached epic proportions of grossness and volume.
