to complain, especially chronically.

I can’t believe that no-talent hag is still finding people who will pay to watch her.

LOLOL. The Chrysler was worse for that!

[xsmommy]

Dang, i had not heard that provinces were seceding from spain! robt, do you still go over there for work? what is your assessment of the situation? xsteen has a friend from college teaching english there for the second year, and a work friend has a son doing the same, also his second year.

Actually the very worst thing is when you have to scrape frost off of the INSIDE of your windshield.

[tioga]

nah, when a mild rain comes down and it’s raining on you with the door shut and the window closed.

[afraidfortherepublic]

No, the worst thing is that whenever you open the car door, snow falls onto the driver’s seat.

That's only a problem 3 months of the year. ;)

[SoothingDave]

You have a convertible?

[tioga]

No, my car door was hit. They managed to force it back to close, but it’s not keeping the rain out. I was getting wet.
