What irritates you?

omg a hunt without OT...that is just wrong..

Cars that break timing belts. :frown:

extremely irritating:

being set-up on a crappy-ass blind date, that I dont want to go on, and yet have absolutely no way of getting out of, earlier in the evening of the pre-dig....

Actually turned out pretty good. My wife had it towed to Dave Holt ford in Wisconsin, (she was on way to work in wi) and they had it replaced by 6pm last night. $230 bucks. That part sucks, but what can ya do? I'm a starving college student now. No new cars for the next 2 years anyways.

In the older cars if you broke a timing belt it would bend your vavlves and really screw things up. Now they have free moving parts so it doesn't cause internal damage most of the time.

Hey WN - go on the date. Pick your nose, your butt, your ears, your belly button, offer her any of your findings.

She'll be gone in 5 minutes.

That is unless you like her and she's hot... then - suck it up, have fun, be a gentleman and excuse yourself early - as to not overstay your welcome on a first date. Promise to call her (and do)

and get the hell out. :smile:

Im supposed to meet her at a bowling alley...

(what is this? 1978?)

my plan, was to just beat her real bad at a couple of games, and flaunt it as best as possible.

and if that doesnt work, every bowling alley has a bar... besides... I'm going to need the alchohol-influence to convince me to go to the PDG...

chances are, anyhow... that even if I want to be rude, I wont be able to...

Ive been on some pretty crappy dates in the past, where I should have done some stuff.... but theres just something in me, that doesnt allow me to do it.

kinda like how super-man has his kryptonite weakness..

I guess one of mine would be disappointing a date, no-matter how messed up its going.

Finding out a friend at work who is 43, who underwent a minor surgery on the 5th is in grave condition, cause in the middle of all of it they found a rare cancer.

:frown:

It wasn't gall bladder surgery by any chance?

Thats because its not until Saturday.

No, she had a laparosopy to look for scar tissue and found out she has a rare fast spreading form of uterine cancer.

Just got married last June. Really Sad.

damn..

:frown:

mmm

:frown:

thanks guys.

Haven't heard anything as of late today. We take no news as good news right now.

No news isn't good news. She passed away last night.

:frown:

Ditto what Ares said, take care Vino.

so sorry vino :frown: :frown:

thanks you guys. We are waiting to hear back from the big wigs - we want to have the chef here make up care package food for her husband for the next month, and take it up to him.

x's fingers

ggggrrrrrrr

:frown: so sorry vino

sorry to hear that lfv

Sorry to hear the news Vino.

sorry vino

having it 80 degrees in my house because my furnace wont shut off.

More repair bills. :chagrin: :frown:

pilot light.

paying for stuff :wink:

thanks :smile:

Thats what I did. The pilot light runs off a smaller line before the main shut off. Some ones coming tomorrow. Until then it's a manual turn on, turn off deal. Hope it's not too cold tonight. I'm gonna end up replacing the whole thing soon. But I have to have it working untill I get a new one with central air. So I'm basically throwing this money away untill I spend more money. Not a good week for me.

For some reason it's calling for heat even with the stat turned down. It's not the thermostat though.

3m - put on your best hawaiian shirt, some shorts and make margarita's.

Vino - So sorry about your loss.

Mikey - Sorry about your furnace. You have had a not so great week. Hope things improve soon.

And at 80 degrees, you might as well have a beach party!

I can verify it because I bought a new thermostat. (dumb)

funny thing is I didn't even notice it was 80 until my freind came over and said it was hot. All of a sudden I'm roasting! Good thing I shut it down when I did.

how the date went, that I posted about:

I showed up like a half hour early...

had a rose for her...(i know... I said I wanted to be an ass... so sue me... whatever)

when she got there, she gets pissed off because she's allergic to roses

(how was I supposed to know... its a blind date... I know NOTHING about her)

I figure, since i'm off to a bad start, I might as well continue on my quest, towards ruining this date....

I decide to order 2 beers....

her: is one of those for me?

me: umm... nah.. I was planning on drinking both of them...

her: oh.. cool...

(she proceeds to order 3 -YES, THREE- for herself)

after we finish drinking our multiple beers, and have slight buzzes going on....

(atleast I do)

our lane opens up, so we can bowl....

Im a good bowler...

but she whoops my candy ass all over the place, and beats me, in 4 consecutive games....

afterwards, I feel rather crappy, and tell her that I gotta go to a function in downtown saint paul...

she laughs.... calls me a chicken, challenges me to another game...

I admit that I am indeed a chicken, but would, however... still stick around and play another game or two, if didnt already have some plans to do stufff...

she accepts her win(s), dances around, like the champion of the world, exclaiming "ha ha ha! you're a chicken! ha ha ha! you're a chicken!!"....

and then proceeds to ask me for a 2nd date...

(heres where it gets funky)

I actually accepted....

and then...

I leave....

and once in the parking-lot, ask myself "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!!?!"

to which I had and still have no response....

:coolfrown:

this SUCKS.

Sorry to hear about your co-worker Vino. 43!?! Sucks!:frown:

Think positive 3M - It could be the other way around.:sheepish:

And Nick - I'd run with it. You never know Mr. Prince Charming. Plus, any chick who can down 3 beers at a time and still kick your ass in bowling can't be all that bad. :smile:

Yeah...

but she had to rub it in, by dancing around and calling me a chicken, and stuff....

thats not cool....

If it would have been bumper bowling, I surely would have come out with the victory...

my plan, was to just beat her real bad at a couple of games, and flaunt it as best as possible

-Wicked Nick 1/20/06

:wink:

Either it sounds like you were meant for each other or she's you long lost sister.

Yeah... but that was because I wanted to ruin the date...I didnt even want to be there...

She was flaunting it, to be funny....

and I seriously hope she's not a relative of mine... she's actually kinda hot, I dont wanna be known as the guy that dated his hot sister....

for now I'll just think of you as the guy who thought he may have dated his hot sister :wink:

HAHA!

normally i'd laugh too...

It sounds like something from Joe Dirt...

but I'm finding it hard to laugh at anything, since about 5 minutes ago, except for what a joke life is, sometimes.

Hey all -

On my way to the funeral.

Will try to stop in later.

Internet at home acting crazy - not sure when I will be on line at home (hopefully by tomorrow night) for right now - it's just here at work.

during the hunt. which bites ass.

Coming home at 2am from getting clue 3 and hoping to post a few pics and not having any internet connection. :frown:

Thats what I get for having OTiS on vacation. :wink:

Having one of those concentrated periods of time where you're being pulled in ten different angles all at once.

It does make one feel good when it kinda gets back to normal anyway.
