Alias, that brings to mind another unnecessarily loud commercial. For the life of me I can't remember the company being advertised, but almost the whole damn commercial is people screaming, "I need my money & I want it now!" (well, along those lines)

I see that someone added the word rightfully in the heading--that opens up the subjects to many more topics. That was a good idea!!!

When some little fragment of something comes out of your mouth and you're not sure if it's part of a tooth, or something else.
I'm irked as all get out that my Ped Egg has been M.I.A. for about 6 months. I should've bought up the entire display when they were still in stores.

Heidibear, do you have a CVS store near you? Ours have knockoff ped-eggs in the "As Seen on TV" section.
Jammies wrote: "Heidibear, do you have a CVS store near you? Ours have knockoff ped-eggs in the "As Seen on TV" section."NO CVS, just Walgreens. I haven't seen them there, though.
Again, I think it goes back to what I'd heard was recent legislation (not sure if it's a state thing or a fed thing) that will not allow nail salons to even keep the callous removers/shavers in house because they're considered surgical instruments & are not registered as MDs or surgeons - I could be very wrong about that, though. But my last pedi experience would indicate otherwise - the guy went into the back room and gave a shady look back and forth before coming out with the shaving instruments. He made sure no one was in the room before he started using it.
I'll look again, though. I've actually considered buying one of those Microplane zesters from Williams Sonoma. :/
Heidi, it would be state laws. It varies widely among states what salons are allowed to do. Some states allow those little fish that eat the dead skin off your feet, and some states don't, for example. Couldn't you buy a ped-egg through mail order?

Maybe I'll find one of those little buggers in Texas when I'm visiting family. Or better yet, maybe I can sweet talk my mom into sending me an early birthday present/late Christmas present (or I could send her the $$$ in the mail and let her send it to me)? :)
What the hell is a ped-egg?
Don't fucking link me to the wikipedia entry on it. I'll hit you with this skillet.

When I'm having dinner with my mother and she keeps on nagging me to eat meat, for heaven's sake, I'm not a seven years old and I didn't eat meat since 1999.*sigh*
Sally, the bit that gets me about those is the fact that all the scraped off dead skin is collected in the "egg" and you have to empty it out. Ewww.Heidi, callous shavers are outlawed by most states, I think, but Ped-Eggs shouldn't be any more regulated than a pumice stone. But as LG said, every state is different. Anyway, if you want one, lemme know and I'll get one for you.
Seham, you need my mother, she's been a vegetarian about that long too!
Heidi, my mom gave me a paddle-shaped thing with a pumice-stone coating on one end. I think she got it from Sally. Very easy to use and very effective. Use it outside, and there's nothing to empty. I'm with Jammies on the emptying thing.
It bugs me when someone calls my number by mistake and just hangs up. When I realize I've called the wrong number, I always apologize.

That bugs me, (internal monologue: I don't tell you about your food unless you ask and everything you eat that's not meat is vegetarian!) let's all embrace our inoffensive personal choices and move on.

Working as a business analyst/manager plus trying to take help desk calls = bugged by everyone who wants a piece of me/to talk to me & loves when people hang up before I need to talk to them, saves me precious seconds in my day...

Your mom is vegetarian, how cool is that!Wish mine just stops telling me what I should eat,it's pretty annoying.

I hate it when signs and bumper stickers use quotation marks for emphasis, rather than to mark an actual quotation or signify some sort of uncertainty. This morning, I saw a bumper sticker that said '"God" is my President.' Well, if you are so unsure about this "God," why is he the president?
I hate pompous ass male jerks who think that I am stupid just because I am a woman. I also hate people who take advantage of my good nature and hard work ethic.Needless to say I am having a shitty week. :(

Here you go, Heiderson:http://www.sallybeauty.com/pumice-sto...
Pick one out and call your local Sally store and see if they have it. :)

Jammies wrote: "It bugs the hell out of me that a local physician has a BMI requirement for office help."Is that legal? I mean, I guess it's in pursuit of a "healthy" image in the office, but jeez.
I am embarrassed and bothered that I knew so little about Joseph Kony and the invisible children of the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda.I learned of Kony on Facebook today. Incredible 30-minute video. Do watch it. Friend me on Facebook if you are so inclined -- Cindy Oppedal Paschen, Ames IA.
I've heard of that happening with pharmaceutical sales reps jobs and also with airline steward jobs, but seriously... not cool, no matter...

"Fat" is not a protected class under Equal Opportunity Employment. With sexual orientation, I think it's the last bastion of discrimination not legislated against.
It bugs me when people love me sooo much that they must try to convert me to their religion. Love me less me and respect me more. Must be the full moon got us all bitchy.
It bugs me that none of the hot beverages at Le Pain Quotidien are ever hot enough, and that when you get a takeout coffee, they add the cream or sugar behind the counter so you have no control over it. Thanks, I wanted 1/2 cup of milk in my coffee. Bastard.

When the chocolatey sprinkle stuff on top is missing, and I'm on a diet... not too pleased.
