New rant

I HATE THE FRICKIN' MOVIE CHANNELS.

Why do men feel the need to watch a movie over, and over, and over? Or pick it up in the middle? I leave the living room to go tinkle and before I can get back, a dayum movie is on, and the volume is cranked up to the point the windows are rattling. I am wearing earplugs and I can STILL hear it.

I like movies, but once. If it's a really good one, twice.

Of course, I'm sure SF thinks the same thing when I watch QVC and the Weather Channel...

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!!

Job security.

What kills me is someone proudly quoting the dialog......I mean...who needs to know how to speak Klingon????:shock:

I'm with y'all on this one! I knew someone who boasted that he and his friends could have an entire conversation by movie quotes! I had to dump him!

Uh oh. I think Punzy and I have done this with Steel Magnolias:shock: Please don't dump me.

Oh no - it's different when we do it! Trust me, I dumped him for much more serious reasons........would neva dump you!

And, I love Steel Magnolias!

I'm kind of, um, non-girly in that respect. I quote movies way too much (and not always Steel Magnolias) and right now I'm aggravated that I can't go to bed because I found "The Lost Boys" on tv.

Admittedly, I did really love Napolean Dynamite, too!

What? The guy didn't take the dishes out of the sink before he peed in it. ?

Bonk! Try again. Well, you know? He probably did that, too.......in a drunken 'or something' stupor! He became uncool much faster than he thought he was cool.

Uncool is not cool.

Seriously, has anyone EVER gotten better service/results by being a total arse?

I certainly won't go out of my way to help you when you're being a total **** to me and I don't know anyone who would.

P.S. if you have to tell someone how important you are, you really aren't that important!

i need a drink and a chocolate ice cream cone with wet walnuts.:angry: too bad i prob won't have either.

Why is my eye hurting?

I have to say that one thing that drives me absolutely crazy is all the idiots riding their bikes on the road instead of the bike path! There is absolutely no shoulder on scenic 30a and every car has to go around them, sometimes dangerously! How many places in the world have such an amazing bike path, custom made for people to enjoy riding their bikes on and its completely ignored by the speedo elite jerk club! This morning there were actually 3 riding abreast on the road by Deer Lake and wouldn't even get over to let cars by! GRRrrrrrrrrr. I really think South Walton should require bikes to ride only on the bike path on 30a!!

Thank you. lol

Thank you. lol

Oh sheet
I hope the "bikers" don't see your post Douglas. There have been some very heated arguments on here about this very thing.
Sometimes, after the rant is out, the delete button comes in handy.

I didn't know this was already a topic that was discussed. It is something I feel strongly about though, so I have no problems if the 'bikers' see this! lol Thank you for your concern though sunspotbaby!

PS. I will have to try to look up the original threads then and check it out!

Do that. You will find there are good reasons the "speedo elite" use the road. It only takes a second or two on 30A to slow down and pass them. Not to mention the fact that they have as much right to the road as you do, according to Florida's vehicle code. No, I am not a biker, on or off the bike path.

They may have a right to the road, but they also have a freakin bike path! Regardless of the law, I personally find them annoying and I am just expressing my disgust in this rant thread.

I was momentarily annoyed when I had to go around one last week, and then I remembered that we have them all over the place up here where I live, especially on weekends. We can't exile all bikers to trails; they do have a right to the road, too. I'm personally glad for one more reminder to slow down--I would love to get out and ride more, but I'm scared to ride on the roads.

That said, there is no excuse for them riding side by side. It's dangerous, and I don't see how that falls under "Share the Road."

Moving on to something more productive...

I discovered this evening to my vast dismay that toilet seats come in different sizes! My daughter is coming to live with me for a year this Sunday and I thought I would eschew my bachelor ways and buy her a pretty toilet seat for her bathroom. I found a beautiful clear seat with dolphins and seashells and such and the bloody thing was too small! *slaps forehead in chagrin*

Driving around Snellville truly sucks! Started out the day by "running" out to get a few errands handled. I was in the right hand lane and had one car in front of me. There was no one else on that stretch of road at the moment. Out of the clear blue she suddenly and for no reason I could understand, she SLAMS on her brakes. Good thing I wasn't tailgating her. I thought she saw something in the road I couldn't see. NOT! she just slammed her breaks on in order to then gun it and swerve into the right hand turn lane!!!!!!

Next stop, I am carefully and slowly maneuvering through a parking lot. I have come to a complete stop at the stop sign at the pedestrian crossing, proceed slowly as no pedestrians are crossing, only a group of about 7 women, girls, meandering down the sidewalk. I assume they are going to the next store. But NO! They all witout even looking step right out in front of me and stand there discussing......who knows, where to go for lunch, what to do for the 4th, world peace?!? There's so many of them there's no way to get around them. I now have traffic backing up behind me. I have no choice, I lightly tapped on my horn (icould have rolled the window down and at them i guess) only to have several of them give me the one finger salute!!!!! Run in the last store, was in mabe 10-12 minutes max. Return to truck to find it plastered with about 15 "coupons" for various offers for gym memberships, $5 off pizza, a $39 massage, HOLY CRAP!!!!! I'm getting less junk mail at home only to have it plastered all over my freakin' truck.

I won't even go into the deadly 4 way stop I have to go through to get home or the Dr's Bldg that has a stop sign, that apparently changes to "GO REALLY FAST WITHOUT STOPPING" everytime I am passing it.

It's a jungle out there people! Proceede with caution.
