It bugs me when my takeaway coffee is too hot; I end up burning my tongue and can't taste anything properly for a day...

Hoping your week gets better and your weekend is full of massages, spas and men who love to cook and serve you ;)

[Courtney]

I FUCKING LOVE IT when drive through places add cream and sugar for me. I hate, nay loathe, those communal dispensaries.

I was in a Dollar Store today and saw two (knock-off) Ped Eggs for $1.

Those blisters on the roof of the mouth are nasty too. Ouch.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

Ignorant ass parents who bring their sick kids to daycare.....and they fucking know the kid is sick. Makes me want to kick their ass up between their shoulder blades!! You damn well know that your kid is now going to make everyone else sick. You also damn well know that I'm gonna call you at work and tell you to come get jr.. You also, if you've done this before, damn well know I'm gonna get in your shit about it and hurt your little feelings when I tell you about yourself.

[evie]

Poor little kids. Feeling sick and not at home with Mum or Dad.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It bugs me when I'm staring at my neighbors through a gap in the curtains or the shade, and they see me. Fuckers! I'm trying to be discreet here.

[Heidi]

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I found a Ped Egg this weekend.

My feet are smooth as a baby's butt now.

[Cynthia]

Whew. I was getting worried about your heels.

[evie]

When I go to the breakout area at work to make coffee,those who have made coffee, stand in front of the coffee machine talking. I can't get to the machine, or the bench, or the fridge.
Where's the cattle prod!

[Emily]

Never get between me and my caffeine fix!

(p.s. evie you need to track down a pocket-sized expandable cattle rod for this sort of occasion, or one of those bleeping fog horn type things..)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It would be suicidal to start your day without it. Homocidal, even.

I'll add those to my utility belt.

A thing that bugs me: when my boss tells me I need to become a notary, when he knows full well you are not supposed to notarize documents for the company you already work for.

[Cheri]

Today the (female) Police Chief next town over got fired for sexual harassment and falsifying crime reports for government grants. The city paid her $250K to leave peacefully and not sue them. Now the city has to pay back the grants so it is raising fees on the baseball leagues because they don't have any money. I want to get paid tons of money to fuck up royally.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Wow, that is infuriating.

[Cynthia]

Wow Cheri, that is quite a severance package.

That's disgusting.

[Carol]

I'm annoyed that my boss didn't remember I have neuropathy. He has it too, and we've talked about many times over the past couple of years.

[Cheri]

Police Chief resigns because the news media attention has made her job too difficult: Here's the sexy story-

[Cynthia]

Yikes. Hard to read about stuff like that with a woman in charge.

I admit I tittered at the phrase "Mounting grievances."

It bugs me when people use GR as a sales platform.

Oh, I see. But this site actually really helps them than any other sites.

Z, I just don't accept friend requests from authors unless I've had previous normal contact with them proving to me they are not just collecting "friends" to schlep their wares.

[Félix]

Amelia is smart. Even though she doesn't talk to me anymore.

[[deleted user]]

Why don't I talk to you, Felix? Do you talk to me?

[Sally, la reina]

Hello Amelia!

[Félix]

Hello, Amelia. (Me, talking to Amelia.)

[Cynthia]

Felarry, did you forget to shower? I'll talk to you anyway.

[Félix]

Maybe that's it. I can always count on you, Cyn.

[[deleted user]]

Hey, Sallers! How're things?

Hi, Felix! (Wasn't aware I wasn't talking to you...I just haven't been around as much "In Group".) I'll talk to you if you haven't showered, I just won't hug you.

*Hugs Sally*

[Félix]

I was just teasing, Amelia. And for the record, I have showered today.

How are things in Portland? I haven't been there in a while.

I have two friend requests currently pending. I don't know either of the people. One has almost 1300 friends and over 5000 books (a great many TBR), the other is north of 500 friends.

I'm probably going to turn both of them down. They seem to be collectors.

WWSD? (What Would Sallers Do?)

[Cynthia]

Just say no, Phil. You have your dignity to protect.

I ..."

Rule of thumb on that is, they have to have more books than friends AND if I'm questioning it I do a book comparison. We have to have more than 10 books in common with more than 60% alike.

*edit* They have to have actually READ the books in common...

Portland is cold and rainy...most rain for March in recorded history. *sigh* Normally I quite like the rain, but I'm getting a little water logged just now. I want to wear flip-flops again! Plus, nothing much fun goes on when it's all rainy and gloomy. And, I'm dying to try out this new Macro lens I got at the Japanese Garden, but I need the sun to come out and bloom some flowers for me.

[Jammies]

Amelia, your edit made me aflol.

"WWSD? (What Would Sallers Do?) "


I have nearly 150 friend requests just languishing in the folder.

[Félix]

Languishing is one of my favorite words. Also one of my favorite activities.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh good, I don't feel so guilty now. I have 39. I can't bring myself to go through them.

[Félix]

I dispatch them in short order. No accumulation.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

All thumbs down, all thumbs up, or a combination? Do you compare books to see if you are well-matched?

[Félix]

Authors are an automatic down. Others get some consideration.
