... After I said this yesterday morning. Yesterday and through the night, until now this morning. Had to... Rub It In...!!!

... Damn clouds go around the Horizon and nothing over head and the Damn Sun shining like it wants to blind me. I was up till 2:00 AM from my Job, and now trying to get up: 9:00 AM. With 15 some years like this. Sometimes I tried to give the "God" concept a try with praying. No. is not an answer! It is a chauvinisic excuse! It is obvious that anything like this is more evident that there isn't a "God". I have tried to explain this to others, that will not catch on to what I am saying. I also do not have a good moving stategy, if this was the case.

... Like what "Godless Dave" had said:

... It is a Trailer I am in. 50 degrees in the Winter time and I am running the Heater. 50 degrees in the other parts of the year, after it has dropped from 80 degrees or above, in the middle of the Night and I'm still running the Air conditioning or else it goes up to 85 degrees...
( I know the insulation has some heat stored, but I'm amazed that it can heat up the place 3 hours later with the air condition keeping it down to 70 degrees + the temperature out side being 50 degrees. How much more heat is left in the insulation? Bezzar! )

*snort* That's only because I'm ornery. Being ornery is part of my survival plan, you see.

people who lie.

people who need to be the centre of attention all the time. hm. exhausting.

people who talk in cinemas.

people who put other people down in order to feel more secure about themselves.

people who seem incapable of empathy: they can do x to you, but never bother to imagine what it would be like if you did x to them.

oh dear. mine are all to do with people. i must become a recluse.

Heh... Yeah. But they don't tell you about all the times this scenario occurs and the marijuana is _not_ present. Like, the overwhelming majority of cases. It's far more likely that alcohol will be a contributing factor (witness the sheer number of Darwin Award "winners" that have been under the influence of alcohol while winning their place in the rolls of infamy).... Yet, I don't see any ads about alcohol and guns.

Then, think of all the times that this scenario occurs and _neither_ intoxicant is present. Hell... I'd bet that in most cases of child to child manslaughter using a firearm, Coca-Cola, Kool-Aid or milk would be most likely to be present at the scene of the tragedy. Let's ban them, too.

Cripes... These people need to get a clue. The single most contributing factor to child to child manslaughter using a firearm is an unsecured and loaded firearm. What in the frozen depths of hell is a loaded handgun doing unlocked in a place where a minor can get access to it? _That_ is the stupidity, not the marijuana.

People who can't spell or use their native language correctly.

Customers who leave merchandise around the store like it's a trail of bread crumbs to lead them back to their shopping cart.

Fundies. Enough said.

Cat hair that permeates the entire household.

Bullying.

Mary Sue fan fiction stories.

My orchestra director hovering over people when they do their performance checks.

Old school pictures. Not the cute ones, but the horrible photos that make you think your parents were filthy sadists to let you do that to yourself and then preserve it forever in a scrapbook.

School dances.

I'm sure i'll be able to come up with some more later. These are pretty random.

Hello all I would like to add to my already abundant list.

That fake easter grass for easter baskets, I never use to be annoyed by it. However my ex mother in law came over and made easter baskets with my 6 year old for her entire class and now the damn stuff is everywhere. I keep picking pieces of it up and vaccuming my house but that stuff seems to multiply and spontaneously appear. Everywhere I go in my house I have a piece stuck to my foot. Fake easter grass. Far more sinister that people suspect.

oh one more thing. I am pissed off at the fact that I wanted to order a video called Human Body from the BBC but they won't ship here to America so then I went on the BBC America site and they don't sell the same video. I have no idea why they don't offer it on the American site. And on top of that even if I do just have it shipped to Infinity's place in Holland and bring it back with me, its not compatible with my VCR and I guess even the DVD has a different system. I really want a copy of it to keep but it looks like I am out of luck. Why isn't there some universal VHS/DVD system?
I also wanted to buy the video called "Superhuman" and I am out of luck on that as well
Nothing but those damn Doctor Who videos...

Amie,

There are companies around who will transfer a PAL(European- mostly- and Australian) VHS video to NTSC(USA, and I think a couple of other countries) VHS for you. I have no idea what it costs, or who does it, but I'm sure you could find someone in a city like LA.

Amie

Thanks, I'll have to do a search. I really want those series of tapes.
