I've decided that Costco is a gift from God. I hate shopping, especially grocery shopping. You go to the store, pick up all the stuff you need, use it all up and what's your prize? You get to do it all again the following week. Not fun. But then, God saw fit to give us Costco. Now, instead of silently cursing because you forgot to pick up pasta for the spaghetti you planned to make for dinner *SURPRISE* Not only do you have pasta for tonight, you have 12 additional packages sitting in your pantry for whenever you need it. If this doesn't convince people that God exists, I don't know what will.
I'm sick of videos on news websites. Are people not allowed to read anymore? There's nothing more irritating than seeing an interesting headline, clicking the link to read the article, only to have Windows Media Player launch and then display
....buffering....
Then you have to sit through some ridiculously loud 15 second advertisement before you even get to the report. I'd rather read plain text any day.I'm finding it increasingly difficult to toe the party line when it comes to Christianity. I'm a seeker; always have been, and I assume I always will be. I ask weird questions, and often come to unconventional conclusions. That's who I am and I accept that, but I find myself getting frustrated that I'm expected to conform to what "traditional Christianity" teaches. What happens if I just don't agree?
Hurricanes suck. 'Nuff said
Snopes exists for a reason. Use it BEFORE you forward me a message telling me Bill Gates wants to give me a million dollars. Actually, he doesn't want to give me a million dollars. Trust me.
On a similar note, don't forward me a feel good message that at the end says "send this to 575 people, including the person who sent it to you." Umm, no. I'm not going to do it. It's very rare that I ever forward those messages on to anyone, but I'm definitely not going to send it back to whomever sent it to me. Why would I do that? If you decide you want to read the message again, why not just go back to your inbox and re-read it?
If I hear one more person question Sarah Palin's ability to be Vice-President and raise a family, I'm going to scream. You do realize she's not a single parent, right? Why doesn't anyone ask how Barack Obama plans to raise his two young children if he were to become President?
I was saddened when Bernie Mac died. Two things I really enjoy in life are good music, and lots of laughter, and Bernie Mac had a gift for making me laugh until I cried.
"When a kid gets one-years-old, I believe you got the right to hit him in either the throat or the stomach. If you grown enough to talk back, you grown enough to get ****** up!"

Sure, it's a bit crude, but it's also hilarious.

You're back! I always love your posts. I have some comments today.
I cracked up at your Costco comments. I wish we lived near each other, you could always borrow cleaning supplies or TP or paper towels (these I buy in bulk from Costco) and I could borrow Costco food from you.
I say AMEN to at least three of your summary paragraphs.
- Hurricanes do suck.
- Forwarding those emails should be illegal. Especially hate it when the forwarding party doesn't even take the time to cut and paste the "important" part into a new email so that I don't have to scroll through 4 monitors full of other email addresses and subject lines. Okay finished with my rant!
- I completely agree with your comments about Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. I add to this the comments about Sarah Palin's experience level. If experience/inexperience is the subject, then let us examine the experience level of all four people on the two tickets.
You know, I almost gave an entire discourse on email etiquette, but I decided to hold back.
Yes, that is another email faux pas that drives me insane :)
