They lost Sat 2-1, Monday 3-1 and then 2-1 on Tuesday. They scored more runs in one inning on Sundays game than they did in three whole games.

119. I don't mean to sanctimonious, but I hate the word "hate" in all contexts...
Wed Oct 3, 2018, 07:16 PM
Oct 2018

When I was in fifth grade in NC, I learned one of my first truly meaningful life lessons...

For some reason... I told my teacher Mrs. Clemmons, the African-American wife of the school principal, that I "hated" a particular classmate. She sat me down and took the time to carefully and emphatically explain to me how loaded the word "hate" was historically and morally. At the time there were lock-downs at our schools because of race riots at the high school... I remember that we had to break the points off our pencils before boarding the school bus every day.

I don't remember exactly what she said to me that day, but she talked to me while holding my hand at her desk... squeezing it every so often for emphasis. To this day, I wince whenever I hear someone say "I hate" something or someone. I appreciate her for teaching me this.

Sorry, if I pooped on the spirit of this fun thread.

... on driving (NYT best seller... sorry can't remember name), roundabouts are safer than regular intersections. The reason is that they absolutely require driver attention.

They don't require anyone's attention and that is the problem. There are those of us who do know what to do and there are those who absolutely do not and do not want to learn. We even have a how-to video on our county website. I really dislike the double ones. They have 2 lanes on each side and on and off ramps scattered about.

2. The almond butter I bought at the health food store before I read the label and realized it contains palm oil.

3. Buying a piece of clothing at the thrift store without sniffing it first, then realizing it is infused with an awful synthetic perfume that won't wash out.

136. 1) People who don't know how to make change

If my change for a ten is 4.37 learn how to hand me my 63 cents in change first...then hand me my four dollars...then hand me my damn receipt. Don't stack the change on top of the bills and then hand me the receipt.

2) people who lack "situational awareness"... I really don't want to hear your telephone conversation. Take it outside...especially on airplanes.

3) Miami-dade County...everything about it relating to it's drivers, traffic, roads...

I have no use for them whatsoever.

2. Bloody movies. I've never even sat through The Godfather. I can understand that there is sometimes a need for violence to tell a story, but why do we all need to see it? If I see someone put a gun to their head, hear a gunshot, and then see a body laying on the floor, I'm smart enough to figure it out. No need for me to see a man sitting on the head w/ gray matter on the wall behind him.

3. The Real Housewives of _____ (fill in the blank). These women have all the money they could hope for and none of them seem very happy and yet they all are hanging around with their unhappy co-stars. There must be someone else they can spend time with that they won't argue with. And if they're that filthy rich, why are they being paid to put their lives on display? Nene Leakes is laughing all the way to the bank. (I only know her name because I have, over the years, been checking the Bravo network for Top Chef episodes.)

178. I hear ya about eye make up.......I have worn the royal blue mascara from Maybelline for over 40

years. Then last year around August or September it was gone off all places I could buy it. Called the company "oh it's. been discontinued". My signature item.......GONE. My life hasn't been the same. Ok, I'm kidding about my life not being the same, but damn. IT WAS ME. Now I'm someone else with an imposter blue, there is no blue like Great Lash Royal Blue from Maybelline.

I wore the blue for awhile many years ago.

Maybelline still has their standard liquid liner (black), which I have used for over 45 years myself. I've tried the new kinds of liner to create smokey eyes, but instead it looks more like "black eyes". They just don't work for me. I hope they don't dc their liquid liner.

People who "borrow" things but never return them.
People who give you a ration of right wing male bovine excrement
and when you call them out on their nonsense, they say,
"What's the matter, can't you take a joke?"
