Random Rants

I needed to start this thread for a bit of pity and a momentary wallow in my misery.

:violin:

For six rental seasons, I have done the same thing. I arrive to our place and do the bi-annual change out of slipcovers. Washed the Summer covers, put them up and put on the Fall covers, which had been washed last Spring.

Mr. K calls me last night and says we got a bill for the deep clean. Fine, good. Then he read me the ridiculous amount they have charged us for DRY CLEANING all the slipcovers!!!! We even were charged for "upholstery cleaning" the outdoor cushions, which I always wash! So, I just washed slipcovers that were recently drycleaned (I told them to never do this). :bang:

Thank you...I feel better. I will be having a meeting today.

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

Someone snuck into our beach cottage, stole my towels, toilet paper , soap, and slept in our beds, and used the jacuzzi tub.

Someone was spied on my porch just yesterday!

Gonna install a camera and my voice that will just start talking whenever someone comes up on the porch. Hhmmm, wonder what I should say.

"Have a seat, nice to see you"......then, a long list of expletives might be funn!! :floor:

At one of my neighborhood restaurants they have these silhouette cutouts of a cowboy and cowgirl in two-step fashion. Thinking about doing some cutouts and put them on a pully system, which will engage when someone steps up on the porch - scare the behayzeus out of some Spring Breakers!

Time for new friends that have no thumbs, maybe some monkeys...or friends that have no texting abilities, like me!

Well, I've decided that they are being quite entertaining......always love new friends, but don't get rid of the veterans.

I might name them Hemingways, though - ask them if they need extra thumbs~~~~~~~ :floor:

:scratch:I think I have an idea! We could have our first ever SoWal Telethon to raise the $$$ to purchase Jfunn a new bullhorn! The annual Turkey Trot would not be the same without the bullhorn!!!! How the hail else will I know that I am the only person that that did not win a doorprize!!!! :funn:

Sorry still a little bitter about that jfunn.

you sound very bitter!

you will be happy to know the turkey trot is going to happen this year for sure and i think everyone will be getting shirts this year. :wave:

Actually, that was one of my favorite SoWal memories with Camifunn. We had a great time. If we are down for turkey day we will definitely participate in the Turkey Trot, for the fun of it all. We won't care if we get a shirt or not.

You gotta get a new bullhorn though. It just won't be the same without it!

:scratch:It might be a plan to consider. Why does FuBarFunn have to have all these children right at Mtn. Film Fest or Turkey day. On second thought, I don't need to know the answer. :blink:

Just want to warn y'all - I am about to have a meltdown on American Express....stand back. I have told them countless times to stop sending me the unsolicited items they keep trying to solicit.....it's some kind of crazy auto ship! I do not auto ship anything! ARGH - just charged me for some travel thang and I will phone them in the AM when I am not looped up on dayquil - I am NOT going to be polite.

Here's my rant for the day:

Lately y'all have been boring. Somebody needs to get their drink on and get out of the political/local government/real estate forums and entertain me!

I'm going to do my taxes now, and am thoroughly depressed that there is nothing here to keep me from it. :angry:

I just realized my rant was foolish, was going to complain about covering our plants and flowers because we are supposed to get six inches of snow in MO when I realized we are healthy and still have jobs. We filed taxes and must pay, but perhaps that too is a blessing.

Mango - update to the person on my porch! Must've been raining that day 'cause the only thang missing is my Sweet Pea walking umbrella. Which, really makes me LOL because it's has a hole in it and blows inside out all the time.......everything else here ok!

New rant: I saw a gumball machine twice this week with Peanut M's. So, I put a quarter in one and it gives me 4. Next day, I spy another machine in another state, put a quarter in and it gives me 3.

Inflation has hit the M's! :angry:

Jfunn, I have a bull horn. Original Duracell batteries from when I bought it back in 03 or 04. You can borrow it, but I need it back for traffic.

Mango, if only you didn't wash your comforters it would have deterred those baturds. ;-)

Yes, that is a bicycle on 30-A.

Yes, there isn't enough room for you to pass them and stay in your lane.

No, you do not need to give them so much room that your car is completely in the other lane.

Yes, it would be nice if you actually checked for oncoming traffic before using the entire oncoming lane to pass said bicycle.

P.S. It's a red octagon w/ the word "stop" on it and there's a line painted on the pavement to help you figure out where to perform said action. How much easier can we make it?

shall we start the bidding now, or wait for an appointed time, such as a pre-planned S/D/C night in the lounge? :lol:

Ha, although I think that true OMB's would have had some cracks in them, thus the price will be lower.

My random rant......this thread takes too long to load. We need a Random Rants Part II.

What a waste of paper!! All my credit cards are at 0 or up to 3.99%. They want to pay me to use it, I'm all over that right now.
