You may have noticed we think he's kinda special. :)
If you want to read a really cute, really fun one sometime, check this one: Blame it on St.Louie (What was your worst date?)
:-)
Thanks, Uncle Bob.
Thanks Bob!
Give me a call when you get home, Pippin. I'll let you rant some more!
I have the new Potter book, but I think I'm third on the reading list. I'm stuck re-reading those trashy novels that I have cluttering up the place.
Thanks :o)
Among the several on on my pet peeves list, the Top One perhaps is about the KKK....yep...you heard it right, folks - -
Gasp away, but The LadyX is definitely down on the KKK - -
as in the Konstant Komplainer Korps....
You know the type - totally self-absorbed, believing the Universe is all about him/her, and therefore everything in their surroundings MUST BE PERFECT; AS THEY KNOW THEY ARE! - and designed to PLEASE THEM.
Whether it is the weather - their food - the size of a gnat's tooth (checking to see if you are awake and getting this..:)) - All Things must pass their muster/standards/desires...
My first encounter with them was in childhood in Florida.
Reared to be polite and considerate and caring and never critical, in Florida one was too often subjected to pathetic, suffering 'Transplants from Other Worlds.'
"Oh, it so HOT here" - ignoring the lovely breeze and the fact it often has been or has seemed hotter in the asphalt jungles from whence they came! - and that they left because of the long periods of snow to shovel and ice to scrape, and the stresses and physical discomfort those brought them.
The Endless List verbally goes on and on, and they seldom have anything pleasant to say!!
They simply DO NOT CARE about you, or anyone else but their own miserable selves.

"Take your plants for a walk day" LOL.. That will certainly get people ranting and raving. Do you have a little red wagon? Had an elderly neighbor who would walk her cats in a wagon. Made you laugh.
Nope. I don't have a wagon.
But that is an unusual holiday. I don't know anyone who walks their plants.
I hate people that are so damned stupid they trust that if they hear ~ see and/or read it on the news it has to be true. I can't abide people who do not understand that just because the same story is reported the same way in 6 different "news" mediums, it must be true!
I get my panties in a wad whenever someone tries to claim that slick willies impeachment was just about sex; or claims that people should just forget about Chappaquiddick because it was so long ago and that the drunken sot kennedy has done so much good since then; or when someone declares that they support our soldiers but oppose that illegal war or tries to mitigate a terrorist act by claiming the victims themselves are partly to blame ('cause they did something the terrorists didn't like). The list goes on and on...
I could not stand working with a bunch of bleeding heart liberals who on the hand want to excuse even the most comtempable behavior of their own while at the same search tirelessly for the tiniest flaw with which they could possible crucify Bush or one of his team.
Gosh, Pippin I am around most of the time ~ off and on ~ day & night so if you ever wanna visit, or share something, or see a funny image or even just let off some steam, just FReep mail me or ping to a thread you are interested in discussing.
Just.....beautiful! Better than TV with (and this is my rant) their own agendas to go on and on about instead of just letting the beauty of the launch be seen and heard! Thanks to you and TomGuy!
I WORK WITH HER!!!
She also thinks that we all work FOR HER! "Can you do this for me?" -- "Actually NO - do it yourself!! I have a job and it's not based around helping you!" - is always my first thought.
We started the same day - she's still trying to find out where her secretary is! We don't have one. If you want supplies, don't ask me for a pen - go to the supply cabinet. Responsibility is your friend.
...chick part (boys don't bother reading)
We had an off-site meeting the other day. She needed a tampon. The hotel machine was out. She actually COMPLAINED TO THE HOTEL MANAGER. I said to her, "Why didn't you bring one from home!? - you knew you'd need it!!! The Hotel Manager actually walked her into the gift shop where he bought her a box. I was appalled at her "queen-like" behavior. Ridiculous!
/chick part
I hate people like that.
/soap box
Darn - this feels good. I like this thread.
