...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!

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal and mineral;
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o'news --
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's,
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox.
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolus.
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the "Frogs" of Aristophanes.
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense "Pinafore."
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin,"
When I can tell at sight a mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by commissariat,
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery;
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat-a-gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still in matters vegetable, animal and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

We just ate some barbecued pork (small ends) spareribs....
Yum!!! (My SIL is on the errands run and picking up some stuff for me, so I haven't even decided what's on the menu for tonight, other than being absolutely certain it will NOT be Friskies!)
I just found another reason for liking pound cake as a snack: If you use a good serrated knife, you can slice it directly out of the freezer. And it's good even when it's frozen solid. ;)

I've eaten frozen cheesecake, but not pound cake ~ the only thing I like pound cake with is strawberries and whipped cream in place of shortcake. :)

This is a cream cheese poundcake. So rich and moist, I like it by itself! (With a Mountain Dew chaser, of course, which Kathy just provided.) ;)
I have strawberries and blueberries and other assorted berries in the freezer though. AND some whipping cream in the fridge! I may have to get creative. (Also, I've yet to try out this hoochie I got from creamright.com that instantly makes squirty whipped cream, so I can even use the "but I need to test some equipment" excuse.)

It's real good to hear from you, and to know that you, the boys, and Hostel are all doing well.
Many of us followed the live thread, and were 'witness' to a lot of good things. (As well as some bad...Mojo lost a tree behind her place)
Enjoy your visit with family, they can be few and far between when Uncle Sam decides to send you packing!

Satellite behaving? Is the "boss" pleased with your work output today? Is the dog still having to share his food with the goat and the mice? How is "Bob" doing? Is he homesick? How about a snack break.... Run-a-muck and momma cat can share. Cats like ice cream.

I love your new Fall 2003 line of woohoo's.
Thanks!!! (Now that I have "lines," I realize I'm going to need to do a "Holidays Line" and some more seasonal ones for the 4 seasons lines. It's a good thing I've already done some of my fabric shopping.) ;)
