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. :biggrin:

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

Dear touron,

Don't worry about it, I needed to test the breaking distance of my truck. After all if you had let that turn lane two lanes over go by you might have had to make a safe and legal u-turn. I know the GPS girl can be stern, and downright biatchy sometimes, but slamming on you breaks at 60 mph to "zip" across two lanes of traffic is going to cause problems, every time. I truly hope that you enjoy your visit and will show me the same courtesy when I do the same in Atlanta, I know this because the dealer sticker on your car came that close to my face.

Sincerely,

Still in shock.


Don't count on it! They are worse here! :blink: They will proceed to road rage your silly lane changing ass!

WHY CAN'T I FIND THE TORY BURCH THORA LOGO SANDAL IN ORANGE SIZE 9 ONLINE? Daughter has all of my credit cards and is on a quest in Atlanta to find them for me. Her reward will be a pair of cyan Manolo flats for her.;-)

Anything in orange is an investment for me. I'll wear them for years.

I wear a lot of Crimson myself as you might guess, but I don't think I could part with a $115 for a pair of Crimson Flip Flops. But, you go girl, I hope you find what you are looking for. :wave:

Thank you. I'm so ready for the styles to change. Not sure I wanna go back to Mom jeans, but FTLOG, something in between maybe.

Twice!

An elderly lady in an Infiniti was driving through town and I was behind her. She could barely see over the steering wheel. She stopped at green lights and went through red lights. She thought she was over the pedestrian lines, cut her wheel and almost took off her gas tank driving over the curb. Then, in two seconds flat she was going 65MPH! Three seconds later she slams on the brakes and repeats this pattern! I was sca-red!

Walking Sweet Pea, an elderly lady (she's the one who used to have a rooster that woke us all up before the crack of dawn), speeding down the street and slams on her brakes to turn into her driveway, only to realize that she was one drive way too soon! Bless her heart!!

We got out of her way!

Has a car alarm ever kept a car from being stolen or are they just massive noise pollution? Seriously, anyone ever heard a car alarm go off and rushed to the scene to thwart a crime, or seen anyone else do it? All I've ever seen is a vehicle that annoys the sheet out of everyone until the owner finally turns it off or the alarm cycles off.

And just how many times does the neighbor's pucking car alarm have to go off before I can justify whacking it with a golf club? :angry:

I went to see a friend play at a club in Atlanta and a car went by with the alarm going if. He said, "Obviously the alarms don't work." He told me that it happened all the time--someone would steal the car with the alarm going off. :idontno:

I had an alarm in my old Grand Wagoneer and I had never heard it go off - in something like 5 or 6 yrs. So, I surmised it didn't work......until it needed a new alternator. The garage somehow set it off and they didn't know how to disengage it. Then, they proceeded to call me on my cell phone? How about mounted in the console! Complete comedy of errors!! :funn::funn:

:lol:oh, so true mangy!!! I like the mid rise stuff with my short self. but it seems these days your choices are LOW rise, or you can go for the high waisted/elastic pant. we need more in between choices.

some of the maternity looking tops are actually cute. you would think it would cover up belly rolls but all it does is make you look about 6-9 months along.:roll:

I'm probably gonna be struck dead or afflicted by some blight, but I went to a funeral today (one of our residents). It was a graveside service, at 4 pm. No shade. That preacher practically read the whole Bible!! People were swooning, sweating and about to pass out!! He jsut went on and on. And on. I know that I can now quote the whole Book of 1 Corinthians!!

:lol: I appreciate a preacher's right to preach, even at funerals when folks are especially mindful of the life hereafter...but surely he realized that people were too hot to think about much else. Or else he thought he could tie it somehow into the concept of Hell.

One of our local funeral homes used to give out hand fans. We had quite a collection in the glove compartment of the car. We went on a 4th of July picnic a couple of years ago and noticed the extended family was staring at us - here we are fanning with things with the American flag on one side and Clary-Glenn on the other :blush:
