Little did we know that the egg producers intend to keep the eggs that their salmonella-infected hens are laying. They pasteurize the eggs and sell them to wholesalers who will use them in things like ice cream, salad dressings, etc. Where is the FDA in all this?
Not sure if this should be under “Health” however… a friend and I were at dinner tonight and we had a plate of Korean BBQ sitting on our table and a man walked by and coughed on it. We didn’t eat it. Later on we were sitting there talking and another man walked by and coughed on us. We had to leave immediately. What’s with all the coughing and why don’t people cover their mouths?
re: domestic abuse in Afghanistan. So what. Obviously our presence there isn’t stopping it. And Marie is right, what about domestic abuse here in the States? And what about spending money on American people, rather than on foreigners who hate us no matter how much money we give them. Why do our politicians – Republican and Democrat – feel that we must be the nannies of the world? Let’s mind our own business, not that of other nations.
New issue of Time Magazine has picture of a victim of domestic abuse in Afghanistan ..Editor says that if we abandon the Afghans, the women there will not be protected. What about all the domestic abuse in the USA?
Does it seem more humid than normal in the midwest. Absolutely. According to Tom Skilling, Chicago’s leading meteorologist, it’s because of the midwest’s famous corn crop. Growing corn emits moisture. Because agronomists have shown farmers how to grow rows of corn closer together, we have more corn growing which means more moisture is going into the air. Moisture equals humidity. As a resident of suburban Chicago, I can tell you from a non-agronomist point of view…..humidity has been disgusting. Sweaty, awful. I’d gladly give up sweet corn for less humidity.
Every year in our condo in Chicago the “people” upstairs from us decide to remodel. The noise is UNBELIEVABLE. Why can’t they leave stuff alone? What in God’s name is so important that they must remodel every single year? It’s such a waste. I can’t stand them.
OH MY GOD. More noise. As if cities aren’t noisy enough now we’ll have everyone banging on the keys.@marie:
New York City has a new public art project…The city is putting pianos on corners so that anyone can sit down to play. The project is going to travel across the country. Great idea. Better than the cows??
Going in to the library yesterday about 3 o’clock (it was bright and sunny outside), I saw a butterfly on the sidewalk about a foot from the automatic door. He was walking towards the door. Not flying, but walking. You could see his little feet walking. I stopped to watch him. He kept on walking towards the door, which started to close. I stepped to the door to keep it open so it wouldn’t smash him. He walked over the threshold, into the entryway and kept walking towards the actual library entrance. By this time several people had gathered and were oohing and ahing; but we didn’t know what to do. One woman said he looked like he’d just come out of the cocoon. ?? He was a sort of light tan color, sort of like horseradish mustard, with some circles on his wings. And it looked like one of his wings had a piece missing. By this time there must’ve been 15 or 20 people gathered in the foyer. Finally one young man went for the library guard, and they talked for a bit. The young man went into the library and came back with two sheets of paper, and between them got the butterfly on one of the sheets and took it outside to a brick planter.
The reason I mention this at all, is: it was a sort of magical moment. Here we all were, watching a little butterfly who had no idea where he was going but was working hard to get there; and we were determined to get him to some sort of safety before he got into trouble. I think for just a while we forgot why we came to the library, forgot all our problems and were totally absorbed with one little creature.
Just thought you’d want to know.
Is there a pilot on this plane? Can you imagine being one of over 200 passengers on an airplane where the crew is actually scouting for a pilot who could help land the place because one of the pilots fell ill? Maybe we should all taking flying lessons so that we could “step in” to land a large jetliner…
congrats to the Blackhawks….Great team
One can only hope he was kidding.
After I asked a cab driver to get off the phone so that I could enjoy a quiet ride from the airport, he said that I was violating his right to free speech. What???
Passengers’ rights are listed on the back of the front seat..Passengers have the right to not have the driver talk on the phone.
The other evening we watched the l957 movie “The Vikings” with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Ernest Borgnine. It was a serious action and adventure “epic” movie. We started out reading and watching, which is how we usually view a movie, but pretty soon we were just watching…….and laughing. And laughing. It was hilarious, what with the dichotemy between the grungy, filthy, hairy, rude, bearded, sloppy Viking men and the pristine, blonde, perfectly made up serving wenches. The men drank out of curved horn things (How did they set them down? Did they have to finish their beer down to the last drop?) and slopped liquid down the front of themselves; the long table was strewn with bits of food, as were the shirts of the Viking men. But the serving wenches were still neat and sweet. We started inventing dialogue, making rude remarks about the characters. It was just great. If you need a good laugh (and who doesn’t these days?) rent this movie. I highly recommend it. Plus, you’ll just love the after-dinner games the Vikings play!
@Jo:
Trash magazines are the best! It’s nice to read about the drama in other peoples lives… and it’s nice because it’s not your drama! Keep reading!
There is a woman in our building who YELLS everytime she sees us. Like a sorority idiot or something. High shrieks, OUTSIDE voices ALL THE TIME. I finally had to tell her to please stop and now she won’t talk to me. I guess I’m being punished but inside I’m saying THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Why are sales clerks on top of you every second? I was looking at stuff at White House/Black Market and every five seconds the sales girl came up to me asking questions. I couldn’t take it. I had to leave. How many times do you have to say “I’m fine, thanks” before they just leave you alone so you can think?
Why be ashamed? If nobody bought The Star, or The Enquirer or People, they wouldn’t be in business. We love celebrity gossip. It’s a little escape and anyway, they are all CRAZY.
I am so ashamed of myself. Yesterday I saw the headline: “Miley Cyrus and a new boy friend?” I couldn’t help it; I read the article, even tho I’m not interested nor am I a fan of either of them, not as people nor as pop tarts. What is wrong with me? I’m so ashamed.
As I was leaving the Admiral’s Club on the second floor in the C terminal at Ohare, I noticed a crowd of people looking out the window. I walked over to see what was happening and I saw about 30 fire trucks and police cars parked with their sirens on. Then I saw about 80 poilice and firemen standing in the salute position facing a jumbo jet. Coming down very slowly on the cargo belt was the remains of a fallen American hero in a coffin draped with an American flag. This experience really put a lot of things in perspective.
CBS needs a wake up call. Take that Charlie Sheen show off the air. Would any of us have watched a tv show starring OJ when he was about to go to trial for murdering Nicole and Ron? And no, Charlie didn’t kill anyone, but holding a knife to someone’s throat is one step before something bad happening. Boycott CBS.
OMG, I was in Whole Foods earlier getting some nuts from those bins and there was a man, not homeless, but a man who was on his lunch hour in a suit, etc. picking all the nuts out of the grates that fall out of the bag and eating them. WHAT? I couldn’t help staring.
Regarding the BP oil explosion disaster two weeks ago: we have heard NOTHING about the seven people missing. NOTHING. Don’t they count; were they not real, alive human beings who were most likely incinerated in the blast? What about them? What about their families? Why have they become “collateral damage”?
Here’s why the drivers are so bad. Everyone is in an effing hurry to do what? Nobody knows how to “enjoy the moment”. We are “human beings” not “human doings”. Not to mention they are multi-tasking. Driving, talking on the phone, texting, emailing, reading, primping, etc. I would like to have giant sharp metal blades that I could shoot out the sides of my truck and slash the sides of their cars to WAKE THEM THE EFF UP ALREADY. Morons.
I get so sick of driving in Chicago. Honestly. Where do these people learn how to drive? Throwing their flashers on in the middle of a lane, driving in the fast lane under the speed limit, not using blinkers, cutting in whenever they need to…. I could go on forever. Oh, and when it rains or snows it’s like the sky is falling and all driving skills have gone out the window. Where did you people grow up? Cali? If you’ve lived in the Midwest these conditions should be second nature to you… its. so. frustrating!
I’m sick of seeing anything written about Conan O’Brien. Big effing deal, his little tv show got cancelled and he walked away with more money than he knows what to do with and we are supposed to feel bad for him? It’s enough already with his comments about what happened. Get a grip, Conan!

Will someone please tell me why elderly people are so terribly crabby and cranky and annoying when they’re out shopping? They have sour faces, never smile and have a suspicious look on their faces all the time. Wouldn’t it be better if they spent their waning days in a good mood, on the off chance that God might decide to prohibit crabby people from entering Heaven??
Why do stores play such annoying music at such a high volume? I walked in Payless today and the music was so loud and annoying, I turned around and walked out. It was eithe rap or hip hop, both hideous imitations of music and both totally unacceptable in a public venue. Then I went in Petco and again with the ear-shattering music. This was some sort of loud top 40 crap. Either play classical or turn it down. I just leave when it’s annoying. Why should I support this? And who puts this music on anyway. Some idiot who wants to be a DJ? If you want to be a DJ, do it on your own time, not at work. Mozart is screaming somewhere I’m sure.
The guy who lives upstairs did not put insulation down when he put in his floors. We hear every footstep. He stomps around constantly and she works out every morning at 8:30 a.m. It sounds like a cattle drive up there.
This morning at the parking lot at Petco on Orleans near the East Bank Club, the gate to get out of the lot was broken. (More crap broken, as if the elevator situation wasn’t bad enough) All the guys who hang at Steve’s Deli were leaving, I was leaving and the gate wouldn’t lift so we could drive out. They must have eaten too many matzo balls or something cuz they were all just sitting in their cars, waiting for something but who knows what. So I get out of my truck, go inside Petco to report that the gate is broken, go back out to the parking lot and then lift the gate manually and hold it while they all drive out. I’m wondering how long it’ll take before one of these men(?) get out to help me. Finally, after seven cars drive out, one man came to help me hold up the gate. We ended up rigging the gate that lets you in so it’s stuck in the UP position so we could leave. Any other stuff going to go on today? I’m staying inside the rest of the day. Enough.
Okay. This is why I can’t stand living in a condo. Besides having to smile and be “chipper” to all the door people, the desk people, more door people every single time you leave and then repeat the same thing every time you come back…. this morning I leave my unit to run errands. I hit the button for the elevator and nothing. A group of men round the corner from the freight elevator room and tell me they have been waiting HALF AN HOUR for the freight elevator since all other elevators in this entire building are down. WTF? The freight elevator is so slow you could knit a sweater while you wait. And WHY are all the elevators down you might be wondering? Because some moron building employee decided that HARK! now’s a great time to check the elevator emergency generators at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday! When they shut off the regular power to the elevators, the generators didn’t work and then they couldn’t get the regular power back which meant NO ELEVATORS on a Saturday morning. Isn’t that reassuring? Nobody needs to go anywhere on a Saturday morning. What if there was a medical emergency? Better yet, WHY NOT CHECK THIS CRAP OUT AT MIDNIGHT INSTEAD OF DURING HIGH SATURDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR? I cannot stand incompetence like this. Getting back upstairs was no joy either. I need an advil.
So I was driving down Algonquin Rd the other day when I see a bus t-bone a pontiac. The bus then looses control and comes barreling down my lane. I swerve out of the way into the turn lane and park my car. Now mind you there are two cars in front of me that also had to swerve and a car behind me. I jump out of my car to help the guy that got hit, cause he is screaming and I turn and look and what happened? The other three jerks left the scene like nothing happened. I call the police and finally some people just passing by stop and help me with him. I hate other drivers. I just hope that one day if I get into a really bad accident that someone would stop to help me out. That side of the road will never look the same to me. Thank god the guy was ok, just hit his head really hard!
Why does Tiger keep swearing on TV. Doesn’t he get it?
And while I’m at it, if we can figure out how to put men on the moon, can’t someone figure out how to get trapped coal miners out of shafts quickly? It seems odd to me that nobody has bothered to spend money or time making sure these hard-working men have a “back door” just in case the unthinkable happens. Besides being able to balance a glass of wine on a mattress while you jump around on it, what exactly has the space program done to help mankind?
Why do women jog around town without good bras? Must I be visually assaulted by huge (fake?) breasts sloshing around, back and forth under a little belly top like car dice? It’s gross. Put on a good bra for the love of God.
In regards to Jesse James and Tiger Woods – they don’t need rehab for sex addiction. They need to control their behavior and not let their behavior control them. Sex addiction? How about self-love addiction!
What is with that Buzz Aldrin on “Dancing With The Stars?” The partner basically drags him around the floor. That’s not “dancing.” That was helping him stay standing so he doesn’t keel over. Please Buzz, find a hobby that isn’t so embarrassing.
Here is something everyone hates… Walgreen’s. I’ve decided it’s not the workers that are dumb at these stores. It is the customers in the Pharmacy that are simply dumb. They do not understand “insurance will not cover this” running the item again will not help, but each person in front of me seems to think it will
Why does Visa “deny” a $25.32 Petco credit card transaction but allow a $632.00 credit card transaction at the Veterinary Cancer Group? Wouldn’t they deny the larger purchase? I’m tired of calling them. OIY!
I can’t stand when I email people about things going on in my life and they respond with how it relates to them. Think highly of yourself or what?
At a bank today where I was cashing a check, there was a sign next to the teller with her name, her hobbies, what kind of car she wants and her dog’s name. I am not kidding. I mean really, who needs this much information? And WHO CARES???? I don’t care what your dog’s name is, nor do I care if you like football. GEESH! Do your job and go home where your friends and family are who give a s@@t. Are people this desperate for approval they have to put their personal information out for all the world to see? WHO CARES! HUGE OIY VEY!
What is with these grown men who ride bicycles around the sleepy town I live in wearing skin tight spandex outfits with company names and logos all over them? (Half of the company names should not be advertised) They ride from one end of town to the other and act as if they are riding next to Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France. It reminds me of little kid who put on capes and pretend to be Batman.
Why are commercials so loud? No wonder my parents watch TV in closed caption. I can’t take the noise.
Welcome to my life! Here is what our neighbors do: They use our driveway for their personal use. They leave broken glass from beer and wine bottles on the pier and dock, they have loud parties and we have to call them at midnight and ask them to knock it off, we have to call the parents when they are out of town and report what their kids are doing (underage drinking, drugs, etc.), they ignite their fire pit with accelerator so the flames shoot up to our second story bedroom window (Fire Dept. had to be called), their friends egged our truck, they do drugs all night and then whoop it up on the back porch at 6:00 a.m. and now we could probably be on an episode of COPS with these White Trash morons since they have now moved up the ladder of behavior to the category of VANDALISM. They urinated on our driveway and truck and left our hose on all night. I called the police (Newport Beach, CA) but they were too busy that night to come. I was told by this Sheriff friend of mine that I needed to say “I THINK I heard a gun shot.” If I would have said that, they would have come right out. But since I only reported urinating, underage drinking and drugs, it wasn’t a big deal. The best part about this is that they actually think we are great people, they are just drunks and are disrespectful. OIY VEY!
Today there was a line of 25 people waiting to get into Sprinkles Cupcakes. I thought to myself “these people are basically standing in a line for flour, sugar and eggs. Just like before the wall came down in East Germany. Strange.”
Why do I have to scroll through every country in the world to get to United States when I buy something on line? Can’t they tell I live in the USA by my zip code which they have?
It is beyond belief when you have neighbors who do not control their children and you can’t do anything about it since the last time you complained, your cars got egged. Coincidence? I think not. Last night our neighbors kids had another one of the underage, drinking and drug parties and then proceeded to pee in our driveway and then used our hose to clean their feet. I called the police and they never showed up. That’s reassuring. I called the parents who said “We didn’t even know our kids were here.” WTF? I go out this morning and there is dried urine on my truck tires and the best part is that our water was left running ALL NIGHT LONG after the kids used it to spray urine off their feet. Isn’t this great? I called the parents again this morning and got the fake “I’m sorry.” When did underage kids drinking and drugging become okay to the point the police don’t even bother showing up? When did it become a fact that you cannot say anything for fear of retribution? Where are my rights? I’ll wonder this now as I have to go spray dried urine off my truck.
My friend and I were eating lunch today at a restaurant and there were 20 empty tables. A group of people came in and sat RIGHT NEXT TO US. Why? Why couldn’t they sit farther away? They could hear everything we were saying. My friend said at her gym, in the locker room, it’s the same thing. The entire locker room is empty and she’s changing clothes, someone comes in and uses the locker next to her. Why? Why so close? At a movie once, I was in the last row and the theater was almost empty. A woman came in and sat right next to me. I had to move. It’s too much.
The other day on a radio call-in show, this woman called in absolutely livid over the fact that there is a crayon called “flesh.” Yes, she went ballistic over the fact that Crayola Crayons has a “flesh” colored crayon and she found it insulting. WTF? If this is all this idiotic woman has to think about, is it any wonder we have so much unemployment? Who in the world wants to employ these overly sensitive freaks? It’s a crayon lady – deal with it. OIY!
For the life of me, I don’t understand St. Patrick’s Day. I mean who really cares? Nothing against the Irish, but it’s one of those days that smells (boiled cabbage??), people act like idiots, (drunks) and the music is annoying. I just don’t understand and never did understand the reason for this alleged “holiday.” I should also add I am shocked the kids don’t get a day off school for it. Every other week the kids get a day off school for President’s nobody heard of, this type of history month, this day, that week, and on and on.
This woman who has a goal to weigh 1,000 lbs? Will her medical problems related to this be covered by the new health care bill? And by the way, kiss your ass goodbye if that thing passes. For all you people who voted for a “change?” Well, you got what you asked for.
This reminds me of a show on tv about the woman with a 100 lb tumor. She was “surprised” by it. Maybe it’s me, but after the first ten lb weight gain, I would have it checked out. Why wait till it’s 100 lbs?
A really BIG Oiy Vey!
SPEAKING OF women in New Jersey, whats with the New Jersey lady who is the heaviest woman in the country (she tops out over 600 pounds) wanting to reach 1000 pounds? She has a boyfriend and two children and thinks that her weight is just fine and is on a weight-gaining diet so she can gain another 400 pounds. WTF! Just heard in on the news today. I imagine she’s trying to get into Guinness Book or something. What a shidiot! Her poor kids have their work cut out for them, I’m sure, and as for the boyfriend. . .well, I don’t even want to imagine THAT!
I have a page up at this golf website and specifically said a number of times in CAPITAL LETTERS, that this is a WOMEN’S GOLF GROUP. So far, two men have responded. Are they idiots? If I wanted to golf with strange men, I’d go play by myself. Why part of WOMEN ONLY don’t they understand?
@Janet:
If everybody would quit paying attention to Lady Gaga she would go away. The world has enough things to worry about without some half witted hermaphrodite prancing around.
What is Lady Gaga all about? Why is this person so popular? She’s gonna end up like Amy Winehouse. Why do kids look up to her when she calls everyone “bitches” and “ho’s”.
Today at the KMart I noticed there was almost one entire row dedicated to “hair removal” stuff. Upper lip hair removal, face hair removal, leg hair removal, etc. etc. How hairy are the people in this neighborhood anyway? I expected to see Sasquatch lurking around the parking lot. Scary!
Why isn’t this moron in jail? Why is he the highest paid actor on television? Robert Downey Jr. went to jail and he only hurt himself. This world is in bad shape folks! Look at what he’s done and you decide:
1990: Sheen accidentally shoots then-fiancée Kelly Preston in the arm. As flesh wounds have a funny way of killing the mood, the engagement is called off shortly thereafter.
• 1995: Two words: Heidi Fleiss. Sheen admits to being a client of the so-called Hollywood Madam, copping to having spent $50,000 for the, um, services of her call girls.
• 1995: Two months after marrying model Donna Peele, Sheen was sued by a UCLA student who claimed he struck her in the head back in 1994 after she refused him sex. The case was settled out of court.
• 1997: Sheen pleads no contest to battery charges brought by former girlfriend, model-actress Brittany Ashland, who claims Sheen threw her onto his kitchen floor and split her lip. He earned a year’s suspended sentence, two years’ probation and a $2,800 fine.
• 1998: Sheen enters lockdown rehab after being hospitalized for a drug overdose. The get-clean action was necessary after his father, Martin Sheen, turned him in for violating his parole.
• 2005: Denise Richards files for divorce while pregnant, publicly accusing Sheen of “inappropriate behavior,” including dalliances with prostitutes, gambling problems and drug and alcohol problems, that could negatively impact his daughters’ upbringing. Sheen denies everything, calling the claims “laughable and inane.”
• 2009: Sheen is arrested on felony menacing charges and spends Christmas in a Colorado jail after wife Brooke Mueller tells cops the actor threatened her with a knife.
To date, he is still on set, filming his series.
The Village of Schaumburg, IL rents a large building for one dollar a year to the American Indian Center Trickster gallery, for exhibitions of American Indian culture and art. Interesting, since at the last census there were 77 American and/or Alaskan Indians in the entire Village. Now the Village will spend over $500,000 of TIF funds to repaint the building. Any wonder why we all are in financial trouble?
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING beats driving down the Kennedy Expressway during rush hour and there is a guy BRUSHING HIS TEETH, driving a mini cooper.
For all of you who wonder why your clothing doesn’t fit you correctly? WEAR A GOOD BRA AND HOIST THOSE BABIES UP WHERE THEY BELONG.
I think the people who have “reality” shows and then cry poor should be slapped with a oak board. Am I to believe that Kate Gosselin is poor? I didn’t tell her to turn her female organs into some sort of clown car full of children. Not to mention that DWTS is building her a dance studio in her home so she can practice at home, then fly to LA two days a week. That doesn’t sound very poor to me.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Atleast six women in New Jersey who hoped to plump up their backsides have ended up hospitalized with infections, after a bogus doctor injected their derrieres with a mixture of silicone, petroleum jelly and, perhaps most hazardous, household caulk. PEOPLE, WTF?
Merchandisers will spend millions of dollars to provide “goodie bags” to the stars who appear at the Oscars, hoping that the star(s) will appear in public with their whatever product. What a travesty that people who already have it all, will get even more – while those who are in need will continue to suffer.
I am not making this up. Yesterday on the news I heard that in Switzerland they are selling extra-small condoms for 12 year old boys. WTF? Is this really necessary? Are 12 year old boys that randy over there? Since when? When I was a kid, the 12 year old boys couldn’t pick their nose and walk at the same time. The visuals are beyond disturbing!
Regarding the child molesters/sex offenders who are let out and then do it again? They should be put in jail, allowed to escape and then hunted down and tortured. Why are these monsters allowed to live anyway? Check out your area and see where they are living at http://www.mapsexoffenders.com
As long as we are on the topic of celebrities – can I just say those stupid Oscars are tomorrow which means all the media will be high alert as to whether that horrible egomaniac James Cameron, lost out to his first ex-wife (he left her for another woman and then he left for another woman… SHOCKING) Kathryn Bigelow – the director of The Hurt Locker. If doesn’t win for that moronic Avator movie, he’ll probably start crying. I can’t stand him.
@ Lara: I think Jon Gosselin was smart to s-can Kate, I hate her extensions and her entire attitude…Why did she marry such a tool from the start?
Why do the media feel it necessary to again and again tell us about the horrors suffered by the Dugard woman? I, for one, do not want to hear or see another word. Stop making money off of someone’s misery.
Is it really necessary to take my rubber sneakers off at the airport check in? Does rubber or some sort of resin product really conceal anything? Let’s say I was wearing a diaper cause I am really old, would I have to take that off at the airport?
Why is it when the light turns green, people just sit at the light. GREEN MEANS GO MORONS! I am sick of hitting the horn so they wake up. What are they doing in there anyway? Reading a book? Doing a crossword? Taking a nap? WAKE UP PEOPLE. My god, this irritates me to no end.
Barbara, maybe John Gosselin is minding his 8 children when his ex-wife is prancing around with her new hair extensions. He may have to curtail his “dating” dating. Honestly, I barely have time to date and I only have one child, John has amazing energy! Wasn’t he even having an affair when he was married?
I know!! I can’t even sit through 5 minutes of the show that is dragged on for 2 nights a week- the constant “background stories” of their dancing escapades, tears, drama, affairs…..gross! Not to mention the annoying hostess (her non-memorable name escapes me). The first few seasons were entertaining and fun to watch when the show wasn’t so full of itself – now it’s just a waste of my time.
@ Kim – I watched DWTS a few times and then thought “What kind of crap is this?” Now I read this latest line-up – A gold medal Olympic winner? Shouldn’t he be posing for the box of Wheaties or something? That hideous Gosselin wanna-be-famous baby making machine? And a girl who basically struts around half-naked in Vegas? These people are “Stars?” What does that say about our country. If nobody watched, they’d take it off the air and that’s what scary. How many people watch this dribble?
Flying on an airplane now, is like going to the DMV. Flight attendants have such attitude. I am sorry due to 9/11 things have gone so south for them, ie losing their 401k’s, and lots of flight benefits, salary cuts, etc. Lots of people are getting hit by the nasty economy, not just them. If it were not for us flyers, they wouldn’t be working at all.
@ Kim: I couldn’t agree more! In the new lineup this season, there is a singer from the Pussy Cat Dolls, I am certain she can dance. More annoying this season is Kate Gosselin being a competitor. What about her 8 children? Who is watching them when she is practicing 12 hours a day?
Why do facialists feel the need to tell clients everything wrong with their face. Sometimes when I’m getting a facial the facialist will even gasp. Like “Oh my, you have a lot of sun damage”. I mean is that necessary to say? I’m paying alot for a facial, microdermabrasion, chemical peel etc, I don’t need to be insulted in the process, it makes me never go back to that same facialist.
Dancing With The Stars drives me nuts. Why do the producers include entertainers in the competition ie singers, figure skaters, gymnasts. If they don’t win every season, they are certainly first runner ups. Hello, an Olympic figure skater already knows how to dance!
Are you kidding me? A kid is talking to pilots in the Air Traffic Controller Tower? Don’t people take their jobs seriously anymore? It’s scary. Let’s raise those fares tho!
I agree with you. I want to smack them. OIY! Grow up already!
I think all female news anchors and news reporters on television should be forced to smoke three packs a day for two years before their audition so they don’t have those Munchkin voices all young women seem to have these days. Just compare a Diane Sawyer type serious news anchor to all those other “breathy, squeaky, girly-voiced” women who are on the news now. Nobody takes you seriously when you have a voice like a baby.
OMG, Houseguests. Can’t stand them. How about the people who come over for bbq’s or dinner and don’t help clean up? Why are you left to clean up after them? And these are adults. Lazy morons.
A big fat OIY VEY to house guests who leave dirty diapers behind when they leave. Your kid pooped, you clean it up.
I sew dresses for people and I just LOVE when I am finished with one and leave a number of messages for the person trying to make arrangements with them to either come pick up their dress or tell me when I can drop it off and they don’t bother calling me back. For weeks on end. Sometimes never.
BAD DRIVERS. Why am I always stuck behind the car that has no head sticking up above the front seat? Where is the head of the driver? How can they see? And what about the people who sort of “coast” around in their cars. They have no purpose and no reason to be driving. They just coast around and when you try to pass, suddenly they have to change lanes. Why is this? And what is with the people who have their music on so loud, my car (a truck by the way) actually SHAKES from the vibration of their music and they are a lane away. What is this about? I don’t like people.
I was at the store this morning and this kid was actually ripping open bags of shredded cheese and eating a little then putting the opened bag back on the shelf. I told the mother (who was talking on her phone) and she said “I know.” And she did nothing about it. I told the store manager. Why can’t we begin to have public floggings of bad parents?
How about the drive-thru window where the person drops the change from their window and get out of their car to search for the penny! It makes me want to honk my horn so loud! Get another Penny for lord’s sake! A stupid penny!!!!
People who wait in line at a fast food resturant but wait until they reach the counter to decide what they want to order…or wait until then to ask their kids what they want…Oiy Vey!!
I saw that too, that laugh of hers is enough to consider serving 25 to life just for the joy of making it stop.
Can I say personal space please … I’m sorry I am not moving fast enough for you in line at the airport (I’d rather not be up the butt of the old man in front of me) but if you brush up against me one more time .. I’m going to lose it! PERSONAL SPACE!
Why do male drivers with darker close crop hair cuts of quasi-souped up older model vehicles that are usually dark blue or black in color HAVE TO SIT WAY BACK while they drive….almost laying back….do they not have backs, are they getting ready for a 1 minute nap at a stop light…are they hiding from the law….or worse….how can they drive…see over the steering wheel, make a turn…do their arms actually reach the steering wheel enough to even make a turn…seriously..I want to laugh out load
She is such a loser!
Why did The View have that Octomom on? They must be hurting.
I am dying to rip the cellphone out of people’s hands while they continue to talk on their phones while checking out somewhere. Don’t they realize the cashier is a human being and would like to be acknowledged as such?
I was in the “under 15 items” in the supermarket today with 4 items. An elderly man came up behind me and asked if he could go ahead of me since he only had 3 items. I replied that I only had 4 items myself but was happy to let him go ahead of me. When he received his change he handed me a one dollar bill and smiled a “thank you” – in this economy, I’ll take it!
