What irritates you?

I sold 4 or 5 nintendo ds lites at Christmas on EBAY- raked in about $300 above cost. I already had them for my girls (Whitney got the black one and Sarah got the pink one). selling them online gave me the $$ to pay for theirs.

He may have had that many to get rid of just like I had multiple units. I guess I would be weery if he mentioned that he was selling it because he got a new phone but if he has quantity and just selling to make money than hopefully you won't have a problem. hang in there.

Pennys still waiting on something from e-bay. The post office was backed up from the holidays and then with Ford dying it got even more backed up. The stuff will come.

I'm trying. Patience isn't my strong suit.

I mailed a birthday card to my grandson in Zumbrota on the 4th to make sure it got to him by his birthday on the 6th. He still hasn't received it. The post office's excuse is that they're backed up because of the Sunday, NYE, Ford national holiday. :chagrin: I could have walked it down there by now.

So be patient, Bear. And I haven't gotten my 99 cent book yet either. But I am aware that books are mailed at a different rate and they take longer.

what ever you do DON'T drop it! Treat it like a very sweet baby.

and don't walk farther than 5 feet into a wine cave(ok - so that one you prolly won't have a problem with)

Management got them here last summer. None of them worked in the cellars. Then one by one they dropped them. I think one manager still has hers.

A red case huh? sweet. I liked those a lot when I saw them cause I thought they were nice and small for my back pocket (when out sans purse) now I want a treo. Much larger, but more functional - for me.

I know someone who should have a red thong that you can strap around your new phone :wink:
(reminds me of the vulcans garter wrapped around the medallion last year)

Doesn't surprise me. A cave isn't exactly an ideal location for any rf reception. If they were razors, those things barely have an antenna to them, so they're twice as likely to have trouble in poor signal areas.

As for patience, I have tons.

I dropped my old cell with the 2 way talk thingy into a tank of wine. Had to pump the entire 12k gallons to another tank to retrieve the dang thing.

needless to say it was dead.

I don't have hardly an attena on my LG and I can walk into the cellars and around 99% of the equiptement ok. It's even takend several spills down the stairs at work (as has my MP3) and survived and one spill out a second story window, but landed in low brush outside.

boyz club being babies. I have a bunch of whinning grown men wanting to take their toys and go home, cause we 'didn't support their boy' last year in a campaign, when the other candidate that ran did a 300% better job campaigning, and to date has done a better job all around.

sigh* get on with it.

oh... by the way - it's so COLD here! it's 26 in my garage right now. that's colder than my fridge. I just put all my beer in my garage.

37 here. High of the day in fact. But we're guaranteed that the bottom is about to drop out by the weekend.

bah... 26? its like 32 degrees outside, here right now.

you sure you want to come and hangout in this stuff?

Yep, the bottom is falling down down down to the ground

some psychic lady on the radio was saying that was gonna happen.

or was that a meteorologist?

I forget.

BEST THING ABOUT MINNESOTA....

BEER IN GARAGE...

Nice!

dropped my old cell with the 2 way talk thingy into a tank of wine.

I love that story!!!

almost getting hit by a golf ball while driving up Dale St (just past University and Dale) -there are no golf courses around there - out of no where this golf ball bounces in front of me and over the car!!!! If I was in the other lane I woulda been hit!

twisting my ankle while walking from the parking garage to work.

Sad to hear about the ankle...isn't that the third one in the house this winter...? :chagrin:

better take it easy for the next few weeks. We don't want to have to push you around in a wheelchair in the snow while med hunting. :wink:

(sorry about your ankle)

Becksie already had to play doctor once on Jake's hunt...guess they just don't make ankles like they used to.....

Becksie played doctor?

damn it...I wanted to play doctor with her... :worried:

kegerator?

We just got notices here at work it's set to drop to 16-18 tonight. Which means before we leave the plant we have to make sure that the jackets on the outside tanks are circulating and the lines with water are MT. Last time it dropped that cold one night - we came into a helluva mess.

Have to winterproof my back yard pipes too as my house pipes aren't deep and the ambient temp is what I get in the house for the most part.

ok - here is what i'm mad about.

I have a past national prez of the cult who I emailed in Oct - "hey we have crab feed tickets" - no response. In Nov "hey we have crab feed tickets" -no response. In Dec "hey we have crab feed tickets, and we are SELLING OUT FAST" - no response.

Get a call this morning for the *:confused:$()^*&$!! and he says - I want to tickets. I tell him, he has to call ____ cause we are less than 30 tix from selling out and he needs to talk to her.

I get this rant.. I'm a past national president! I can't believe YOU are going to treat ME like that! My Tix should be COMP'd and you should ALWAYS set aside tickets for VIP's like ME. I don't want to come.. and at that point - I said fine - don't and hung up on him.

I'd really like to call him back and say - listen you ass, where do you think you get off being so high and mighty? if you ever try to pull this rant crap on me again - I'm going to BAN you ass from ever coming to one of my cults parties again! got it?

But he's the type who prolly wouldn't let me get a word in anyways.

CAN I CALL? :wink:

MAYBE YOU SHOULD COMP HIM HIS PLATE AND GIVE HIM THE "Koolaid Made with New Orleans Well Water"

you tell 'im vino!!

and he had the gall to say he didn't want to come -well what the hell are you doing calling me to come than asswhipe?!

kitch: Posts: 12453 - nice mixed up joe

I got to play doctor with Becks :wink: :sheepish:

its not too bad- just sore- I didn't want to look dumb or fall in the street when I twisted and almost fell in the street (while walking, I sometimes think people sit in their offices up high in the buildings and people watch us down on the street-I know I have from my office window) so I painfully bit my lips & walked/hobbled on it the extra block and then died in my chair when I got in the door! I need a male nurse :sheepish: :ooh: anyone know any? :wink: :cool: :sheepish:

oh and thats two or three times for me -at least I didnt have to go to the ER twice like Whitney!!!

just this guy. But I don't admit to knowing him

That looks like Kitch :smile:

Irritation:

- media news vultures, out for blood - making MY neighborhood look like a f'n warzone...

- authorities who want you to believe that they're doing something, but it doesnt seem like it.

I went to a community meeting tonight....

Dunno if you guys watch the news... but - putting it mildly - theres been some action over here on the East Side, recently...

Some city council people, and the mayor and a couple of state representatives and some police, and sheriff leaders called a meeting....

It was supposed to be at a library, but the number of people showing up, was so big, that they moved it accross the street to a church....

The cops/authority figures did what they always do... they promised that they're working as hard as they can, and will "get the bad guys"....

(personally - and speaking from experience - I think they just have more fun, busting innocent people, but thats beside the point)

And the news crews did as they always do.... they made everything seem worse...

I was interviewed by one of the channels that was there (I think they were all present), on my way out the door....

- was asked if I feel the East Side is a dangerous place to live

no.

I dont.

theres just some assholes making it hard for people to do so, lately.

It happens anyplace you go.... there are bad apples, on every tree.

But people just want to look at the east side in a negative way, for some reason.

I hear it all the time. Not just recently with this action.

Its not a bad place to live. Or raise a family. Or take a walk. Or go shopping. Or do anything else that you could do anyplace else....

Feel free to stop by, anytime... and I'll take you around.... its not a bad place.

People that move away, and only come back every couple of months, look at it differently.....

The news crews WANT people to look at it differently.... because negative news is what draws ratings. Its what makes people talk.

The east side hasnt turned into another North MPLS..... and it isnt going to, anytime soon.

I'm sick of this f'n crap...

Vultures, just out for blood who want to make another part of my life into a piece of s**t.

And nobody seems to be doing anything about it

No thanks. We dont need that stuff around here.

people can run away from the "bad stuff" all they want to....

they can run to their Eagan's and Burnsville's, and Woodybury's, and Edina's, etc.....

I'm staying here.

This is my f'n home.

And if you're wondering if I'll be on whatever news station that was, that interviewed me?

I doubt it.... I made the place sound friendly and nice...

They were looking for dark and scary.

However, I'm pretty sure, I'll see a number of those reporters again at the medallion-find press conference.... seems like the same people that were at the last one.

easy!!!

another irritation:

my dad has to go back into the hospital again, tomorrow....

they called today, and said that his last checkup showed that some fluid had built back up, around his heart...

I'm sorry to hear about your dad doing bad again nick :frown: that 'f'in' sucks!!!

I'm staying here.

This is my f'n home

Hometown pride is alive and well!! :cool:

irritates:

Coughing so hard a few minutes ago, that I threw up, but since i had just drank a sparkling water - I actually foamed up.

Sooooo *F*in gross.

umm...nice visual...sorry about your cough....

Nasty!

Wow...Vino..nice coat! You ARE ready to hunt the medallion! :wink: :eyeroll:

ha. ha.

wait till you see the winter coat I'm arriving in - it's completely lined in faux fur and the outside is dead animal. It's warm and I look like an eskimo.

I see lots of friendly nose-rubbing in your near future...we're working on getting you that snow for your outdoor soccer game...

awesome. I'll pack my inhaler.

heh

I'm heading out to my car to stare under the hood for a bit. The Jeep turned into Christine last night when I got home from the VFW. I turned it off and my dash lights and parking lights started blinking. Five blinks, then a pause of about 10 seconds. Then five blinks again. It isn't my hazards so I'm assuming the vehicle is possessed. :worried:

A neighbor and I disconnected the battery so I'm going to hook it back up and see if it's still doing that.

reminder- warning- BEFORE standing in front of the jeep (looking under the hood)....make sure your jeep is in PARK.

older vehicles didn't need to be in PARK to start them like they have to be today.

I learned that the hard way! in the end I had a broken colarbone and twisted up foot and chest

:frown: that still ache

:frown:

Good advice, but got it too late. Fortunately the car didn't start while I was looking under the hood, but the blinking has stopped since I hooked up the battery again. :smile:

So....are you calling my Jeep old?? :wink: :sillygrin: It's only 12 years old. :worried: But it runs like a top and I'm driving it until it starts costing me money. :smile:

almost sounds like a fault code.

 Jeep fault codes link

When vehicles become haunted, I get rid of them...

I dont mess around with haunted items, after a scary camping trip, a few years back.

,,,and chest that still aches....

I'll be happy to rub lotion on your aches if you want...

Another happy morning of "JOEL! Get in here now! The phones aren't working and the internet is down!!!!"

No offense OTiS, but I really hate comcast.

BTW, who do I have to bribe to get a new cable modem? The one we got when we signed up sucks. I have to reset it once a day due to a slow lag problem that gets worse over the day (yes, resetting the modem fixes it, but I have to do it way too often).
