PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I feel crabby. I am not crabby at any one in particular, just the driving world pissin' me off.* Since when does a red traffic light mean "Still drive through it, it's not as if we really meant for you to stop."? * Why can we not arrest the boom boom cars that are so loud you can not hear yourself think? And then these @ssholes speed in and out of traffic just to be first in line. I demand missles be attached to the front of my car. * Start seeing motorcycles my @ss. I saw you alright, weaving in and out of traffic, and then driving down the center where there *is* no lane. You give motorcylclist a bad name. And please tell me you are a donor so I feel better about your bad driving. * Okay dumbsh!t yakking on your cell phone and clogging up the entire parking lot because you are so self involved. Get off your phones and drive. I think I feel a bit of angst today. No? So what's buggung you??   
Excellent siggy by JSlice, Worm by the Fab IceCat And Icey bounced me! Yippee!!

Oh, they also changed the meaning of green light to "keep the car perfectly still and yak on your cell phone".Or at least that is the memo dim-bulb got yesterday morning. I was at the pedestrian crosswalk by the parking deck yesterday (one where usually no one stops at the red light because the only thing to hit are people, and they won't really do any damage to a car) right when it turned back to red hand, don't go. So there is a car (at least a full car length in front of the line where she should have stopped) sitting there. I hear a beep; I look up. Light is green.
Car is just sitting there with dim-bulb talking on cell phone.
I hear another beep; I look up. Light is still green.
Car is just sitting there with dim-bulb talking on cell phone.
I wave at dim-bulb and point up at the light; I hear a beep.
Car is just sitting there with dim-bulb talking on cell phone.
I wave at dim-bulb again and point up more dramatically. She finally awakens from her stupor and discovers that she is in a potentially moving vehicle rather than a stationary object and drives through the green light. They are running the red lights because they don't have opportunities to go through them at all when they are green

~Why do customers feel the need to talk on cell phones while checking out? Don't they know they are holding up the line? ~Why do people come to a complete stop when making a turn with no stop sign in sight? ~Why do people wait 5 minutes before going when the light turns green? ~Why do customers have to believe because I'm a cashier, I'm an idiot and know nothing, even though I'm in charge of the entire store in the evenings? -whew, that felt much better, thanks Tigger!!

I demand missles be attached to the front of my car.Just the front? http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/autoduel/ (Funny site... I found it chasing after one of my personal banes: an ancient Marble Madness machine that lurked in the corner of the mall, waiting to elevate the stress levels of generation after generation. It may still be there. I still hear the screams.)

This rant is brought to you by Cellular One, Giant Food, and Discover Card. Okay, it's Friday and the Giant Food store is a little crowded. I just wanted to pay for my items and be quick about it because I was stocking up on ice cream on one of the hottest days of the year. I finally settle on one of the Self Scan aisles because that would be faster than waiting in a long line at one of the regular checkouts. I get behind a lady who is having a problem scanning bagels from the self serve bakery. A cashier finally comes over to help her finish her order and I start to process my order. Just as I am starting, a kid (guy in his 20's) who is talking loudly on his cell phone intrudes my space. I'm wondering why he's doing that, because the cell convo doesn't indicate why he is coming the wrong way into my aisle, forcing me to stop scanning my stuff. He finally detaches the cellphone from his ear when a cashier comes up to see whatz up. He tells her he forgot to pick up his $20 cashback from the slot. He claimed to have been there like 2 seconds ago. I know he was not, because the other lady with the bagels had been there. The cashier uses the terminal to look at the transaction previous to the bagel lady. There is no cashback on the receipt. Finally, the cashier finds the $20 for Dumbnutz in the lane next to mine. I am a little peeved, but he does apologize. I'm guessing he originally thought I was a thief. Oh, yeah, I've got your $20 right here, kid. Fortunately, the cashier was nice, bagged my order, and told me she came over when she saw the look on my face, bless her heart.

I hate traffic as well, but we haven't been doing much driving, seeing as we'd have to take a second mortgage just to afford the gas... and hubby has now been laid off for 5 weeks.That leads me to my true rant. Like we weren't already broke enough- now DH gets laid off. He's being a real champ about it, doing lots of yardwork and playing alot of online (free) poker, and I've been getting some help- but the bills are atrocious. Also, does the hospital know exactly when DH gets laid off to send the bills for little sprout's C-section? Also- I realized yesterday that my DH and I (both 1 pack/day smokers) spend over $240/mth on smokes. That is a ton of money for us to spend on anything, let alone on poisoning ourselves... (We only smoke outside- never around seedling or sprout) We need to quit- for our kids, for our health, and for our budget. I hate quitting smoking (only quit for being preggers) because I LOVE smoking. I LOVE nicotine. I LOVE the instant release of whatever pleasure inducing substance my brain releases upon puffing. ugh. I guess I'll go buy some nicorette and nicotine patches. /enormously long rant.

If you want to quit smoking, you could get lots of support here. You could start a thread about it and get lots of advice from those of us who have been there, done that. I liked smoking back 24 years ago, but I knew it was not good for my health. I started thinking of it as a childish habit, one that was an oral issue. It sounds like you are thinking of the chemical that makes you feel good. I used to think that cigarettes calmed me, but they are actually a stimulant. Did you know that they increase your heart rate? Anyway, sorry about DH's job loss. {Hugs}

Oh, I picked a great afternoon to peruse the off topic board. Cell phones drive me insane. I hate them, I hate everything they represent, and I will NEVER own one. No one will ever convince me that being that accessible is a good thing, nor will they convince me that they are “absolutely necessary in case of emergency.” Society lived just fine without them for years – and even in the case of an emergency, the people who needed to know there was something happening found out. One of the reasons I am so against these things, is my profession. I teach in a public High School, where the kids seem to consider their phones either an extension of their limbs, or members of the family. EVERY new term, I explain that cell phones will not be allowed, and will be taken away if I see or hear them. EVERY term I get the standard “Columbine” excuse. EVERY term I tell them that unless I am being shot at, it better stay turned off and in their backpack. Of course, I have many stories that would no doubt entertain and sicken you. Such as the kid who actually answered the phone, thinking I would not notice, even when 4 students around him were trying desperately to mime “she’s right behind you.” I had a lot of fun, taking that phone away, putting it to my ear and telling his girlfriend that she was NEVER to take time away from me to discuss their future – because without an education, he would HAVE no future. Or the time I took a phone away from a student who was talking to his PARENT in class. I very sweetly asked his mother if she would like me to tell her his GRADE while he had her on the phone. When she said yes, you can imagine how the failing student felt about me. Of course, one or two situations like this, and the phones never came out again. Yes, the bozo in the car and on the phone is annoying, as are the idiots who decide to have their next relationship breakdown on the phone in the grocery store. But the student who thinks they can’t wait 50 friggin minutes till the next break between classes is the worst! lol
Do I really need to call
Ra from the car, to tell him that I am a block away? lol
