What irritates you?

aawww cheer up Nick, Sometimes you need the bad times in order to appreciate and savor the good. I don't want to get all pollyanna on your ass or anything. You know what helps me when I'm feeling pathetic about life? I watch those shows on TLC that documents people with horrible rare medical defects. I know it sounds macabe but after I watch someone who has had to live with their skin falling off and wear bandages their whole life and then die at the age of 36, all while keeping a sense of humor and positive outlook - well I think--- What am I complaining about? I got it good. Sometimes finding gtatitude wherever you can will overpower sadness, frustration, and negativity. Just my 2 cents. :wink:

Burying people

Saying goodbye to a great dog!

next time lean forward pull the back of their collar back and throw up down their shirt.

Seeing your Grandfather saddened by a lose of his pet.

aww :frown:

getting snaked out of the EXACT SAME 2nd row wrestlemania tickets, TWICE in the same month.....

my work phone working all crappy...

Getting tons of tella markiting calls after we move cus we forgot to put our new number on the do not call list. :angry:

Tella marketers calling my cell phone :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

When telemarketers call me, I say "I'm so glad you called! I would love to talk to you."

"Uh huh, that's great. Tell me, have you taken Jesus Christ into your life as your lord and savior and have you been saved?"

8 times out of 10 - click.

Just so you're all extremely clear:

St. Louis to LaCrosse to St. Paul - NOT a 1 day drive.

Burying people

So sorry bear... that is always so hard :frown:

ESD - do what the guy I work with does, he lets them go on for a moment and then when it's his turn to speak he says...

so what are you wearing?

usually it's *click* but on occasion he gets a dumb on and then says - do you have panties on? and that always gets them to hang up.

He does it to girls / guys whomever.

My Grandmother got her results back. Shes got lung cancer.

So now the battle begins.

:frown: hug payme and ots AND the boys :frown:

Thanks!

They will know more by Friday and then we will know the course of action.

Keeping the fingers crossed!

I know it's trite - but GI Joe is right. Knowing is half the battle.

seeing Rob G on the user list and thinking for a second it is Big G, then realizing it isn't :frown:

celebrating halloween for 26 years straight until last year when my best friends parents funeral was on halloween and now not really being able to feel the spirit.

on a good note...i talked to my best friend this weekend and she is doing well and going to a halloween party because that's what her parents would have wanted her to do!!!

Have a HUGE basket of really good candy - the house lite only in candles (oooo erie) and only have 1 kid ONE KID who wasn't even dressed up as a trick or treater.

 :frown:

Only getting 1 trick or treater - but knowing that there must have been fun somewhere in the neighbor cause the heliocopter is flying overhead with his search light on looking for naughty people.

I know the feeling, I went to my brother-in-law's funeral two halloweens ago. Gave me the serious creeps when they had the procession out to the cemetary.

Finding my baseball card collection and looking them up on line to find out my entire set of 1989 Minnesota Twins deck is worth about 50 cents.

I won't even tell you the disappointment with my Kevin Mitchell and Dante Bichette.

We are praying for her OTS

Sorry to hear OTiS and PM :frown:

oh man....saying some prayers...

sucks...just when it looks like things are going good again.

We keep looking at it like this....

They got into an accident that was just bad enough to make her get an Xray. She wasn't hurt beyond bruises. But that Xray is what found the spots.

So she would have had no chance at all had that not happened.

I look at it like we already scored a point for the home team.

ya...it makes it a little tougher. and ya that's a little creepy, i didn't go to the cemetary, just the family did.

Sitting here wishing I had a reason to drive all over the metro and seek out mice :frown:

irritates - the smell of a dead mouse under my dishwasher that gets that *cooked* scent when I run it.

yummm.....

cooked mice....

forgetting the big bowl of tabouli i made last night for lunch.

on the flip side - having my office mate pick up my favorite tomatoe basil soup on her way in at 11:30 for lunch.

tabouli?

whats that?

It's Middle Eastern, and it's icky if you ask me (Not that you did).

http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/Food_and_Drink/Countries_and_Cultures/Middle_Eastern/Recipes/Tabouli/

It's a mediterrean dish of bulgar wheat, mint, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, onion, olive oil, tomato and cucumber with some mediterrean spices. It's way healthy for you, but it also tastes really really good.

but it also tastes really really good.

No it doesn't!

:smile:

My wife likes it, I obviously don't.

I like Humus though!

it's not icky! it's really really yummy.

I'm not so sure if I've ever ate anything healthy for me in my entire life.

that is unless you can count a bowl of "TOTAL"

it's really really yummy.

No it's not.

that is unless you can count a bowl of "TOTAL"

Not when you add chocolate chips, butter and syrup to it.

....oh.....nevermind....

:smile:

I could practically live on Tabouli and Dolmas.

OMG! you two are more entertaining than poker right now -- I know something else you can do with that spoon :wink: :eek: :sheepish:

I am not going to google image spoon at work.

Trying to paint my garage door panels and having those Japanese beetles messing me up. They seem to be attracted to the paint. :angry:
