...got any pet peeves?....um, don't know!....I got a pet rock....... ................huh?.....noooo!...pet PEEVES!.... .....look it up!...where???.....in TomKow's Treasury of KNowledge??? Noooooooooooooooo!!!!.......YES!...
pet peeve (plural pet peeves)
noun
particular personal complaint: somebodys constant issue or topic of complaint Got any PET PEEVES??? I got a few!! People who let you embarrass yourself and don't tell you. Like, when your zipper is undone, or you've got unsightly food on your teeth, or you're trailing a wad of toilet paper on your shoe...and people think they're being polite by not saying anything. People who push all the buttons on the elevator Will it make the thing come any faster? No..... Grocery Cart Wheels It seems like every time I get a cart, it goes screwy on me. Maybe I should invent some neologisms to describe all the ways the wheels can get out of whack. Like that bizarrely violent shimmying the front left wheel sometimes adopts, where, if it were a living, breathing creature, you'd most likely rush it to the hospital? Or what about the wheel that decides it hit a speck of dirt and so can go no further. Easier to drag a spooked horse into a trailer than to get that sucker around the aisle. Then there are the ones that simply decide they are not wheels after all but compasses, and refuse henceforth to go any direction except north? And nothing short of crashing into the wall will dissuade them from their path.... When the Express Lane doesn't mean Express Your at the "Express" cash (10 items or less) and the twit in front has a year's worth of groceries and the dodo cashier doesn't say anything. Bad HAIR day? People's comments when you're at someone else's desk "Oh Gee Sally - nice moustache." "Sally - you're not looking yourself today." "Wow Sally, you look alot like Bob today." !@#$!@#$$%#$%....ok ok I'm better now...SMILE Old-boaters 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Need I go on? Ok - you've seen them all over the place. They come from Florida and drive an old car that gets near-zero gas mileage, has jelly-suspension, and fins. The driver is typically octagenarian and tends to weave a lot. Except that from behind you can't even see if there's a driver. They should have a bumper sticker on the back that's just a steering wheel with a pair of knuckles and a hat. Welcome to Camp RUN-A-MUK!

MY FELLOW AMERICAN FREEPERS!
Getting input/ suggestions.
I am a Photoshop specialist with my own studio, and I am currently endeavoring in a new enterprise. NOT SOLICITING BUSINESS, just asking for input.
Do you think there is a market for this?
I take scans of old military portraits and turn them into frameable heirloom works of art. The above is an 8x10.
The idea: people email a scan, or mail me a CD or scan of the photo (NOT the original!) and in a reasonably quick turn around time, I FEDEX or UPS the prints back.
These will be for ANY branch of service, and special requests will be allowed (multi-photo collages, medals and awards featured on the photo, etc), But for now, just a simple, straight-forward idea.
Do you think there is a market for this? Would you like something like this for your own photos?
Feedback and input is greatly valued. Freepmail or respond.
THANKS!

...it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way
Matey, it be a relief to see that you be one of them non-violent pirates! Arrrrrrrr! (Disemboweling is probably only used in extreme medical emergencies, right? Like after eating too much pirate-y cheese and not enough doughnuts.) ;)

BACK ON WATCH, FOLKS!
F-I-L Update: The old guy came out of the hospital at 11:30, and was home by noon! Immediately wolfed down two chicken sandwiches, and went to bed. The Missus will stay with him; The Boy will crash at his aunt's; and I'll be at the house with the cats. Lovely arrangement...
Weather Update: You probably all know the story by now: The final warning for The Storm Formerly Known As Isabel came at 1200 EDT. Now, it's just a wet blow. Cleanup time, and pick up some pieces. Have yourselves a good post-hurricane party!
Pet peeve: No caffeine in the jug...

Prayer for our Soldiers
Almighty God on High, omnipotent King, look down from Your Sanctified Abode, and bless the valiant soldiers of the Coalition Forces who risk their lives to protect the welfare of all Your creation.
Benevolent God, be their shelter and fortress, and to not allow them to falter. May harmony dwell in their ranks, victory in their battalion. Fill their hearts with faith and courage to thwart the evil schemes of our enemies and to abolish every rule of evil.
Protect them on land, in the air and in the sea, and destroy their adversaries. Guide them in peace, lead them toward peace, and return them speedily to their families alive and unharmed.
Grant us true peace in fulfillment of the prophecy: "Nation shall not lift up sword against another nation, nor shall they learn war any more."
Let all the inhabitants of the world know that Dominion is Yours, and Your name inspires awe upon all that You have created. May this be Your will, and let us say, Amen.
