    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Well put, all the way around. A while back I had a dentist that drove a Maserati. I remember seeing the thing in the back parking lot. It Looked like a fancy lawn mower and was about the height of a mower deck off the pavement. Given that in this town you can't drive more than 100 yards without...

    Hear hear! Do tell. Are you on an adventure that we could share vicariously?

    I can remember drinking Taster's Choice loaded down with coffee-mate and lots of sugar when I was a kid, maybe younger than 12. Haven't had it since. Actually, I like the idea of instant coffee but don't have the courage to go through the process of finding one that actually tastes like coffee...

    Anybody else notice that Chrome has started redirecting to ads when clicking on bookmarked favorites or other links? This has been something new for me in the last week or so. Not every time but maybe every 5th or sixth click on a link goes to an ad and not the intended link.

    Sounds like a Benny Hill sketch. Thank you for that. It's just what I needed on a gloomy December afternoon! I'm still laughing.

    Ok, how about grits? With syrup or gravy? Dare it be asked what your preference for barbeque is? While your observation was quite cosmopolitan, and is perfectly fine (perhaps even the way it should be), HAVE YOU NO SOUL MAN? Of course there are rules (don't get me started on Manhattan clam...

    Yes, ... ... pringles. [hangs his head in shame] In my defense I was desperate, what with all this talk of hot dogs. We had Bipi-bop for lunch (korean rice/noodle bowl) and they got my order wrong so I only ate a quarter of it. I wasn't thinking straight. Yeah, that's it...

    My wife likes French's yellow on french fries. I can't quite stomach that. Maybe a bit of mustard on shoe strings but nothing bigger.

    We can get sausage rolls at the bakery in our grocery store. Best with poppy seeds. Gulden's is alright and I don't mind it. I just never developed a real taste for it. I use it and it's ilk these days in a mustardy cream sauce with onions that I serve with pork chops. Actually I have a fond...

    Sausages would be too much work, and I just wanted a snack - I'm fine with microwaving the dog and wrapping it in a bit of white bread with yellow mustard. The Kielbasa was what was left from our meal with perogies the other night. A bit of kielbasa is ok in a meal but I find I can't do much at...

    I have to admit that with all this talk of hot dogs I did go to the freezer to see if we have any for an afternoon snack. Alas, hot Italian sausage and kielbasa was the closest I could come up with so I settled for some pringles and cold coffee.

    I just got a phone call with an automated voice telling me my social security number had been suspended due to suspicious activity. That's a new one on me. Speaking of phone scams, my mother in law (in Pennsylvania) got one a couple of weeks ago claiming that my son (15, in Ohio) was involved...

    It depends on the dog. But I would tend to agree to a point. Like with mustard there's a universal tendency to put too much on. A little bit can be nice.

    That's what we thought until about five years ago we started seeing their commercials then actually tried their new pizza. They were absolutely nothing like the dry cardboard pizzas we got in college which was quite a surprise. Still very far from gourmet or even like the mom and pop pizza...

    Domino's certainly is nothing like they used to be back in the day. We got them several times a year or so ago and they're definitely not the worst delivery chain pizzas. Actually I think they've gotten to be one of the better ones, at least around here. Which really doesn't say much. Their subs...

    How about a little brightness to counter the trivial annoyances - We had a pretty big snow storm the other day and, having moved to the snow belt and THE primary target of all the lake effect snow, we got 2 feet of very wet heavy snow. Branches were down and drooping all over the place...

    Oh we've gotten plenty of damaged parcels before, but what takes the cake are the empty envelopes that have arrived.

    Annoyance du jour (well, more often than not, it seems): The US Postal Service. Mother in law (Pennsylvania hinterlands) sent a package to us via priority mail on November 20. It arrived in Harrisburg on the 21st, then in Cleveland on the 22nd. We live in the Cleveland east suburbs and have...

    Dare we go into the role of credit scores in insurance rates? Insurance will use absolutely any and every metric they can think of to effect (usually to raise) insurance rates. We just moved across town (from a decidedly urban setting to a more suburban community), and my car insurance rate...
