When Murphy's Law applies allatime when you're in a hurry to get things done...and...you jump in the truck to get somewhere and it never fails, there is someone ahead of you who is driving as if they want to prolong the experience. And then...you hit that three-lane stretch of highway and it's off to the races with them. Say you do get around them by punching it...and you slow to a speed a notch or two above the limit...only to look in the mirror to realize the guy you passed, the guy who wasn't in a hurry at all? He is now imagining himself as a big snortin' root-tootin' Peterbilt...an old black and white version and all you can see in the mirror is grill. Things like that can be annoying. Sheesh, didn't he watch the movie? Doesn't he know the end result? What's he got against the one-armed man?

Chipped a tooth the other day and all my tongue can find the time to do is poke at the rough edges of whatever it is...tooth? filling? something...gotta keep busy, keep the tongue's mind off it otherwise it is prodding the edge all the day long. That can be annoying.

I'm annoyed at myself. Yesterday I made popcorn. I forgot to put the cover on the pot and went into the bedroom for a bit. When I returned to the kitchen, popcorn was exploding out of the pan like bats out of a cave. Popcorn and oil went everywhere! I was horrified... Mouse (my dog) was thrilled, she thought her favorite snack food was raining from Heaven. While I was frantically looking for the pot cover, Mouse was dancing on her hind legs snatching popcorn out of the air.

Meanie :p I'm still finding popcorn that flew far. Hubby got something out of the fridge and asked me if I knew there was popcorn on top of the fridge :( (he's quite a bit taller than I am.) I don't know how I'm going to get the popcorn out from behind the stove.

I'm sorry girl, that must have sucked, but you wrote it so comically! :smile:

I hate that tongue that gets a mind of it own!

It is relentless.

You want to tie it up! You even wake up with the tongue stuck. And then you just stick it out. But it still gets ya. It knows.
and it waits.

Yes, my last toothache time was very attractive. :O_O: :tounge: I

It has gone away now. All fixed. (unless it is in hiding_)

News anchors! When a flake of snow is predicted, they have 30 people in the Tri-state area bundled up and reporting every 2 minutes holding rulers. A million reports and video of salt trucks "Rolling out"

Ends up being a "dusting of snow"

And every thunderstorm in west Kentucky has an "area of rotation," so head to the basement...here comes the tornado.
They say it so much now that I completely ignore all watches and warnings. So I guess I will be killed by a tornado even though I have a huge, nice basement in which to crouch.
