I went for a haircut today. The young lady cutting my hair said she was a fan of all the old music and old bands after noticing what my t-shirt said. "I may be old but I've seen all the cool bands"

I lamented that I was unable to see Ian Anderson preform again tomorrow night at a local venue. She didn't know who I was talking about. I said you probably remember him as Jethro Tull. She still had no clue who I was talking about. I said I thought you liked the old stuff. She said she did.. Like Aerosmith and Metallica.

Just shoot me! :(

I don't care much for most bloggers. Some are worthwhile but most aren't interesting to me.

I have a few that I read and they make me feel horrible - it's almost as bad as reading Martha Stewart Living. I look at all that stuff and think Here I sit having done nothing beautiful or photo-worthy today: I went to Costco, cleaned the kitchen, argued with my husband - life is complete here in Chez Holly. Yet, these bloggers, they do beautiful things, noteworthy photo-worthy things. My things aren't like that.

Ga - what a youngster. I understand. I won't shoot you though, I like your funnies.

Looky-loos and rubberneck d
rivers who go at least 20 miles UNDER the speed limit! I wish I never had to be somewhere (like work!) at a particular time!
I was behind one of them on my trip to the doctor today for almost ten miles. No passing zones (whatever happened to passing lines?) on a country road. He spent about 80% of the time looking at his wife in the passenger seat, and was weaving all over the road because of it. And I think he had a bumper sticker that said "I BREAK FOR SHADOWS"

How's your foot? Why did you have to go to the doctor on a Saturday?? You overdid it last night, didn't you?! I'm warning you...

LOL. The Saturday morning appoint with the specialist was made on Friday. I was good at the game. I didn't run once. You'd have been proud of me. Of course I didn't sit very much either because I was pacing too much. Our girls won 28-3 under the lights.

Fracture in the foot is minor. He said it looks like nothing new for me as he saw at least three other old fractures to the ankle. Bad sprain and torn ligaments. Have to go on anti-inflamatories. But no surgery is needed woo hoo. Will have to wear a "boot" for three weeks. And need therapy... Always with the therapy. :)

That bumper sticker quote really has me laughing! Slow drivers are my biggest annoyance.
This is annoying as well: when I buy tortillas, they all are stuck together. When I peel them apart, they tear and arghhhhhhhh!

Makes you wish you had a flying car or a "go go Gadget device with a propeller" huh?

I get annoyed at people who slow down to a crawl when passing an accident scene when the medical, police and/or firetrucks have already arrived. If they can't help out they should just move along and stop blocking traffic.

Girl, that stuff is a bunch of carp crap! They're not that damn happy about all the things that they do . . .and a lot of it is just 'improvised'!

People who use too much perfume or cologne..Yikes it is worse when they have body odor to begin.

Scented garbage bags.

I have a hard time finding unscented ones. The garbage smells better that those obnoxious scents.

I think I might be the only person in the world who doesn't like the scent of Fabreeze. It makes me sneeze my head off :( My first experience with Fabreeze was after buying a neighbor's old couch. I'd seen the commercials about freshening up musty furniture with Fabreeze so I tried it. Couch smelled like a cheap hooker for weeks :(

I agree with fljoe0 on the scented garbage bags and arista overly perfumed people. Gag. I don't want to be able to smell someone unless I'm thisclose.

lol... Our nextdoor neighbor used to wear a ton of vanilla perfume and she was one of those people who would stand thisclose when she talked to someone. One day we started a conversation on the sidewalk in front of my house. I kept taking a couple steps back while we were talking and she kept moving closer to me. We were eight houses down the block when the conversation ended.
