January 8, 200916 yr quiet- you're sounding like Colday Well its true! Yall need to get some flava! Do you speak spanish?? CPT = Colored People's Time! I was going to mention this, that's what my parent's always referred to, but I thought it was kind of racist (my dad was a HUGE racist) so I didn't.
January 8, 200916 yr not a word, but I'm constantly being called a... here's the phonetic spelling... "ben day ho". Well are you an a-hole (this word can be used as dumb@ss as well)? LOL Are you planning on learning Spanish? It doesn't get any easier. The words start to come faster and with more "emotion". LOl

January 9, 200916 yr I always thought Gay Standard Time was not a result of being lazy, but rather it was a inclination to have a drink before you arrive anywhere. I can't even begin to tell you how many gay friends I have seen in my life show up to a party/gathering already drunk.

I can't even begin to tell you how many gay friends I have seen in my life show up to a party/gathering already drunk. And all this time I thought, those people were called lushes and sloppy drunk queens! And I learned early-on not to ride to any event or activity with other gays, so that I could leave when I was ready. For most, leaving before the party died of old age meant making the rounds of all attendees and exchanging a kiss or two and a lengthy farewell to the host, full of meaningless cliches and insincere well wishes. The "goodbye" ceremony was sure to take at least half an hour. I coulda' called a cab or maybe even walked home by the time my ride was ready to leave. my new pet peeve...getting in trouble with the GF after she found out I posted something on this forum....woops! Lesson learned Yeah. Don't get caught! My contribution - One of my major gripes when I was gainfully employed was people who would show up late for business meetings, and then want a full recap of everything they had missed. If a meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. and it's a five-minute walk from their desk, they set their reminder for 2 p.m., not 1:50. When the thing goes off, that means they should check their email, maybe answer some of it, check their voice mail, return a call, and then set out for the meeting and stop on the way to chat about last night's game with a co-worker they ran into while stopping at the restroom. If it was my meeting and there was anyone else present at 2 p.m., I started the meeting. I refused to recap for latecomers who might straggle in over the next 15 minutes, saying that I didn't believe in punishing the punctual. Even if it was someone else's meeting, unless it was a really high muckety-muck, usually I could prod them into adopting my approach. Over a fairly short time, people who worked with me began to take punctuality more seriously.

My mother always says "hello" and "goodbye" are two deadly words and the words the follow after are usually BS.
January 13, 200916 yr My new pet peeve of the week, people that snowblow/plow their driveway but not the sidewalk. Or even worse snowblow/plow onto the sidewalk. And by people I'm including businesses. If your grocery store expects to continue receiving the business of the dozen or so people that catch the bus at the far end of your parking lot everyday, you might want to clear the sidewalks so they have a spot to stand and a way to walk to that spot. Oh and if the people 4 doors down from my house are reading this, I would be the one that shoveled the snow from your sidewalk, including the 3 foot pile, onto your freshly snowblown driveway at 5:30 this morning. You're welcome. :evil: Seriously, there's a bus stop at one end of our road (well just around the corner, but close enough.) and an elementary school and middle school at the other end of the road. The sidewalks are well used in our neighborhood (that's part of why I live there). It has been a couple days, get out there and take care of the sidewalk. It's part of being a good neighbor, sheesh. [/rant]
January 13, 200916 yr I don't like tailgaters and will break-check their asses every single time. Also, when folks follow me in their car as I walk to my parking space. I mean seriously, how much effort would it take to get your lazy ass out of the car and walk the extra 30 yards? Dear God in Heaven.

I'm getting dangerously close to "he had a heart attack shoveling snow" age. I like the challenge of it and find a clean drive very satisfying, but I can see why dudes (and it is mostly dudes) buy it while shoveling, it's very strenuous.

Is it that hard to shovel the drive. Hell, everyone has a snow blower these day or kids. I'm sure there are kids out there that are going door to door (do they still do that?) asking people if they need their drive done. My brother and I had to go out and shover the drive when we were kids and we shoveled our neighbors drive.

My brother and I had to go out and shover the drive when we were kids and we shoveled our neighbors drive. We have a neighbor w/a snow-thrower, he helps out a lot of folks. Weird how people will take the time to do the drive but not the walk--we depend on cars so much I guess that that is the most important passage to clear? My problem is when I beat the plow to clear the drive the bastards will dump that heavy street snow at the end of our drive making shoveling that much more strenuous. I use to do one neighbor's drive for 10 bucks, she was sweet. My mom has a Gravely w/a plow attachment so my brothers now do hers. Winters of my youth smell like exhaust.

My brother and I had to go out and shover the drive when we were kids and we shoveled our neighbors drive. Kids cannot be bothered with this anymore, and when they do offer, it's pretty expensive at $25 a pop. My mom had to shovel her drive 4 times in one day over the weekend just to try to keep up with it (it's harder to remove if you don't keep it up), there's $100 right there for one day. On a fixed retirement income, it's not something she can afford. I don't know anyone on her street that has a snowblower except for maybe one family. It's n/a where I live of course as we are in an apartment.
January 13, 200916 yr Why do you some people buy a SFH's, then don't do the "neighborly" things they are suppose to do? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I know shoveling is hard work, and if you shoveled your drive and left the sidewalk alone, it doesn't really bother me. I live in a neighborhood with a lot older people and I did help out one neighbor on Saturday. (Free hot cocoa made it worth it.) But I got ticked at the guy a few doors up that snow blew his drive onto the sidewalk and kept going over it all day Saturday and Sunday and then did it again last night. He's in his 30's and he's not too poor to use the gas and get his short little strech of sidewalk.

My brother and I had to go out and shover the drive when we were kids and we shoveled our neighbors drive." Careful, the "everyone has a snow blower" line sounds awfully like "I don't know how many homes we have", and no - kids aren't just jumping at the chance to shovel driveways and sidewalks. These are different times we live in, kiddo. Marado, do yourself a favor - run, do not walk - to the hardware store and pick up the following: Note that it has an ergonomic (bent) handle, but more importantly it has the "rolled" scoop. I swear it's the best $20ish I've ever spent - the rolled scoop allows you to get behind the shovel and push like a wheelbarrow and move the snow instead of scooping it and lifting it. It's not as thorough as a snowblower but there's waaaaay less lifting, and when you do have to lift - the bent handle requires less back strain. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

I'm saying, why do some people buy a house but do not understand the importance of maintaining it and the lot its on. Shoveling your driveway and sidewalk. Raking your leaves, maintaining your hedges, etc. So many people say they move into a neighborhood with great schools. Those school kids need to walk to school so why not shovel the sidewalk and be a good neighbor? Then there are people who wait for buses or people who walk. They need clear sidewalks. I know over here on Shaker Square, if a building doesn't shovel, you can call SS and they will contact the owner/building super to make sure they shovel their sidewalk and drive.

These are different times we live in, kiddo. No..no. I don't know how you could equate a snow blower with John McCain. LOL As an adult, the majority of home owners I know, have both a lawnmower and a snowblower in the shed. I'm only speaking from my experience, when we were younger, we shoveled the old fashioned way, with a shovel. It would take forever and my brother and I would be freezing. Finally (after a lot of beggin) my cheap @zz father caved in and got a snow blower. The majority of families in the area had snow blowers or a snow removal service. I guess my cousins kids are making a racket. They were out and about going door to door asking people if they needed their yard and sidewalk walk shoveled.

Thats the same shovel I have, but in blue!
January 13, 200916 yr I'm surprised you don't have one of every color, to fit your mood! Funny you say that. They had one in speckled Gold tone, but it was a lil too much, even for me!
January 13, 200916 yr Kids cannot be bothered with this anymore, and when they do offer, it's pretty expensive at $25 a pop. $25?! Jeez. I think I charged like 5-8 bucks. That was a lot of money to me. I guess there's no reason for boys to go out and do it when their parents spoil them with video games and stuff, regardless.
January 13, 200916 yr Well, you wouldn't want your shovel to clash with your shoes! I was in my work boots, you nut! lol :P
March 10, 200916 yr Shoppers who decide they don't want meat, or any other frozen or dairy item and just leave it on the shelf to get ruined. Tonite I took a $8 pork roast I found in the easter candy aisle back to the meat guy. I think it was still cold enough -- but the fat lazy ass that didn't take it back probably complains the loudest about rising costs. Oh, and people who spit their chewing gum in urinals.
March 10, 200916 yr the phrase "i love me some ..." it really seems to be taking off That and "I'm all about the..." Grrrrrrrrrr.......
