How about when people slow way down and then they put their turn signals on?

How about people not using their turn signals and people who have way too many items in the express checkout line. I really hate that.

That supposed boost is only for a couple years, then the entire bill falls to the state-which is why so many states said no thanks-the money is no more likely to be available in a state’s budget in a couple of years than it is now unless the taxes there are raised to maybe 70%...

Yeah, but is 6 cartons of yogurt 6 things or one? What if they’re all blueberry?

You worry too much about the future. It’s free money today. ;-)

You’re lucky. Your slowpokes actually use directionals. I can’t stand the ones who see a really long line of cars and scoot past in another lane and then some idiot LETS THEM RIGHT IN!!

And it’s not like they are over by just a couple of items either! And they look at you like what are you going to do about it?

Which always prompts the spouse into saying “We live in a SOCIETY here” nice and loud.

Kramer: Jerry, this is the way society functions. Aren’t you a part of society? Because if you don’t want to be a part of society, Jerry, why don’t you just get in your car and move to the East Side!

Glad you got it all worked out - As I’ve said before - this area is a huge cultural mix and I’ve even seen full on burka wearing women at my grocery store.

I never thought I would agree with you on that, but I think I would prefer some country living now.

Storming here so I’m reading the instructions for the citronella collar to quiet Barky McNutticus.

Citronella is supposed to calm dogs?

No, it will spray him in the face for inappropriate barking, which is his favorite kind. Maybe it will keep mosquitos away too.

How did the collar work? The Yorkie next door needs one-he yaps so loudly when it storms that I can hear him from the deck and he is over an acre away-I could almost regret having rescued him from Husky girl’s jaws when we first moved in. Their other dog, a Mastiff never barks unless there is someone/something around...

We got a few sprinkles here, but nothing that could be called “rain”...

You should give it a go-a simple place that can function off-grid if need be, start a basic garden, get some chickens and the county ag agent can tell you how to expand your garden and keep livestock, if you want. I doubt you will ever want to leave...

Hey, everyone. Recovery sucks big time. Had to go off heavy duty narcs to be able to eat. Today was first day I did not live on ondansetron. Two visitors. Why do they come when you are on commode? Timing is everything. Only thing positive to say is I looked you all up. Don’t know when I will feel like it again. Later.
