What irritates you?

I've heard! :ooh: :cool:

and looking forward to it :wink:

Cluey - Wear a Cup.

How is it, on a phone system, that it can be dead for anywhere from half an hour to an hour, and then when someone calls in, another random caller, or two, or three, all call at the exact same time?

I guess it's just one of those things, I've seen it happen any time I've had to answer phones at a place. Aggrivating though.

I heard staring constantly at the phone keeps it from ringing. Apparently it gets intimidated when it knows it is being watched... :wink:

My theory: The phone, like anything else that involves energy transference, operates on the principle of negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. If someone calls you, the vibes trigger someone else who has been meaning to call you to remember to call you. And they "tell" two friends, and so on, and so on.

My phone rang this morning at 9:30AM - a neighbor calling under the guise of seeing if I am still "with the living" (?????) but really she was calling to tell me (again) that my house will never sell in this market (the market here is stable, and my house is not even ON the market yet, but I made the mistake of telling her I was *thinking* of moving back to MN).

Since then, I have had calls from a friend who is going to do some lawn care out here, but wants to park her mother inside my house while she works, which would be acceptable if my house was still not a construction zone, and her mother was reliable to use her walker, which neither are the case.

And another call from a friend who calls in between all her sales calls because she needs someone to talk to while she drives - I usually see it coming on caller ID and let it go to voice mail, but happened to pick it up on the non-caller ID phone this time.

So, then while I'm near the phone, I think I might as well make those haircut and oil change appointments...

And of course, the calls keep coming.

The phone can go without ringing here, sometimes. for several days.

And then it is all in one hour.

suppose one could say - when it rains it pours..

20 minutes of listening to a customer try and pick a shade of blue construction paper.. and then they don't even want it tomorrow!!!!!!

Screws up the rest of my afternoon trying to catch up now :angry:

Today's events :coolfrown: :frown:

....."Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on"......

Dare ya to say that backwards :wink:

It's going to be like 95 today.. and I'm wearing jeans.. granted with flips and a t-shirt, but jeans, cause I don't have any shorts that are 'work appropriate'

think i need to do some more shopping..

My coworker telling me "Don't give me any work to do, I have an appointment to get to"

Sheesh.. wish I could tell people not to give me work...

do you hear that gigantic wooooshing sound? it's the sound of $$ being sucked out of my checking account.. I just paid bills.

icky icky.

my accounts so empty it don't even make noise when the money leaves.

My money makes all kinds of noise - it says "Goodbye" all the time.

wish I had some money so I could try to make the sounds you all were talking about. just kidding...I'm loaded! heh :frown: :ooh: not really

I'm so broke I cant even afford to pay attention

thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Yeah, it'd be nice to be ahead of the game a bit myself.

One big thing to me would be getting a place of my own sometime. Kinda sick of throwing money away on rent...

Yeah.... once you own a home, you can throw it away on insurance, taxes, utilities..... and other must-haves...

like a Nintendo Wii, for instance - like we did...

true, but ya still have some equity....

HA!!

 :goofy:

huge trouble waking up, fragging myself out of bed and getting out the door by 8 everyday and then on stupid Saturday I'm awake, tossing and turning and can't get back to sleep past fricken 6 am!!! :angry: :angry:

the only good thing about it is the coffee and movies and sunny morning while the kids are still asleep!!!

good time to hunt.

I'm tempted to drive out just to watch. But I just have too much to do on this nice morning. I have a new camera I'd like to try out but I'm still trying to figure out how to load the film. :ooh:

On most new cameras you just put the film in and make sure the part sticking out lays flat over to the right. Just close the cover and it winds by itself.

Is it a digital camera? Loading film may be a problem. :wink:

Duh! *slaps myself upside my head*

Kidding! No, it's a 33mm Canon Rebel and there are a lot of instructions, including on how to load the film.

Loading and Unloading

Turn the Mode Dial to any setting except OFF (Mode Dial??)

I guess I'd better read the manual and get this mode thing right first.

Didnt it come with instructions?

Or didja get it from a thrift store?

I love thrift store shoppin.... but nothing ever comes with directions from those places...

Yes it did. But I thought I'd load her up and then read the instructions. :smile: Bad idea I guess.

I got it from a daughter for Mother's Day.

itch weed

my legs being all scratched up...

poison ivy, Kitch?

we refer to that as "itchy bitchy".... cause it itches, and you bitch about it....

Robert Mondavi passing away at 94 yrs old...

Sorry

:frown: sorry bear

... and barbie goes camping... I'm sure I'll have some pretty funny photos when I return - tonight is the big day of shopping (now THAT's something I can embrace) for the trip

Vino, have you seen the Frasier episode where Niles goes shopping for ice fishing apparel?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTJ9piWmDeg

He is initially all excited about the trip, because he loves the shopping associated with going.

Martin: Now are you sure you're gonna be warm enough?

Niles: No problem there, I dressed in layers. Polo, Eddie Bauer and Timberland.

Frasier: You look like a skinny Elmer Fudd.

Niles: Dad, wait'll you see all the stuff I got. I had no idea how much I liked fishing until I realized all the shopping involved. Graphite poles...

He's got this black and white cap on, that makes him look like a hooded merganser!

Enjoy the camping-shopping. And the camping! Can't wait to see the pics.

I love being out in nature, but the last few times I went tent camping I was so uncomfortable, despite an inflatable sleeping pad, that I didn't sleep at all. Sleep-deprived is not fun, under any circumstances.
