    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Aahh, now THAT makes perfect sense, and it's true in every conceivable way. Actually with regard to do it yourself, stores like Home Depot, Lowes etc., are DIY stores in the truest sense, because that what you have to do when you shop there because there's NEVER anybody around to help you. The...

    I can't believe people are into coveralls

    Seems to me I remember that Winston Churchill spoke highly of coveralls.

    The term for a roadside memorial is descanso

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Seems to me that sort of thing only started popping up in the mid to late 80s. I believe there's a Spanish term for these memorials, but I can't remember it.

    Hopefully not anything like Gomez when Morticia speaks French.

    Yeah well, one would think it would be obvious that this sub forum probably isn't the best place to be an advocatus diabolis.

    My new Akubra Leisure Time in regency fawn

    Wow! I really like the texture of new ribbon. That's one hell of an upgrade - a marriage made in heaven!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Ok, I admit it. I was straddling the line and this guy had the gall to come up on me and want to squeeze through in his own lane on my left. And of course me being the way I am I refused to give way, so he damn near took my mirror off getting by. All this a 75 miles per hour during rush hour on...

    Nope. (trying very hard not to take offence at your insinuation)

    Not so trivial (potentially) and it ticks me off: Why must cars, when they pass you on the highway seemingly swerve into you? I swear the other day on my way home from work one car came little more than an inch from my driver's side mirror as it passed me.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    In our new house we have noted an almost universal aversion to using the doorbell. When we moved in we replaced the simple button with Ring, so it's as big as day and just as obvious, but everybody who comes to the door pounds on the glass of the storm door. It's just so very strange. I think we...

    That's interesting. In my experience, pickup trucks are by far the most obnoxious on the road, seemingly willing to go through you to get ahead. Never seen a slow one before.

    Since Amazon was mentioned, I find it obnoxious that if you look at something long enough or too many times, or leave it in you cart too long, the price goes up.

    That's not so bad. I can easily ignore that given that I'm yet to be tempted by anything hawked on TV. What I don't like is online shopping where you can only see the price after you put it in your cart, and when you can only see the shipping cost after you enter you payment info.

    I grew up on mustard sandwiches - bread butter and mustard. And an occasional sugar sandwich too.

    That's very kind of you to ask. Thank you. The vet really couldn't tell much. The physical examination suggested that everything was relatively ok for a 12yr old cat, though there was concerning weight loss. She's just under 8 pounds where as three years ago she was 11. Bloodwork showed her...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    We had a cat, Henry, that liked Q-tips. We didn't find it problematic or at all annoying. In fact we gave them to him. I suppose that distracted him from seeking out used ones from the bathroom garbage. Our other cat, Lola - 12 yrs old, likes to play with socks - she'll toss them in the air and...

    What advice would you give to your younger selves?

    Can't argue with that! But it needn't be. Change starts with you. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Good god look at me spewing new age platitudes! Yikes!! You can't hold me to it...I'll deny I ever said it! I think I need more coffee...

    Who was it that said, or what is the actual quote that went something like - You spend the rest of your life trying to make up for what you did in your first 18 years?

    Kind of cynical don't you think?
