Cranky Corner

The television ad that uses the song "Sunshine" by Jonathan Edwards edits the words from:

Sunshine go away today, I don't feel much like dancing,
Some man's come he's trying to run my life, don't know what he's asking. When he tells me I better get in line, can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up, I'm gonna make him mine, these ain't dues I been paying

and

Sunshine come on back another day, I promise you I'll be singin'
This old world she's gonna turn around, brand new bells'll be ringin'

to

Sunshine go away today, I don't feel much like dancing,
When he tells me I better get in line, can't hear what he's saying
Come on back another day, I promise you I'll be singing




Doens't rhyme!!!!!! :fighting0087: Drives me crazy. :witsend:

a post cranky corner..and you started it...why am I not surprised lol:p

I've been mighty cranky lately, and it doesn't even take a lousy song that doesn't rhyme to get me there! Just a bunch of ingrates at my place of employment and a big zit. :D

That's a joke, right?

Edit add: Of course it is! The :p tells me so! :D

A big zit???? What the heck are you doing with a big zit???? LOL

Kidding, of course, nothing like menopausal acne mixed with wrinkles to brighten our day, huh? Throw in a few "difficult" people and you've got primordial ooze for the crankies! :D

I know...i still get zits :confused:

AND all the menopause symptoms...AND horrible periods...and people wonder why i'd rather be a guy??? :eek:

I too am cranky...been cranky all week...and I'm not even sure WHY...:mad:

I too am cranky...been cranky all week...and I'm not even sure WHY...:mad:

And, hence, the cranky corner. ;)

Come, sit, be cranky! :D

I have to deal with cranky people everyday. I used to be able to handle it, but lately....I want to kick someone!

I teach several exercise classes per week (been doing it for 30 years)it still amazes me at how people feel they can blatantly talk/critique my class as if I am invisible. The majority are woman and that just makes it even worse! Just yesterday a 75 yr old woman who had taken my aquatics class once was in the locker room before my class bad mouthing me to the other woman.
Then on top of that she went to my boss and bad mouthed to him. The other 20 regulars from my class were very irritated, but she held the floor & went on & on. (My boss & a few of the ladies told me right before class)

Okay so i really wanted to drown her. This woman hardly moves. She doesn't act like she evens wants to exercise & she had a miserable puss on her face the entire hour. THEN....she approaches me after class & says "class was great, not like the last one" and walked away!

Talk about cranky!!!

L you just need to come to NY and hang with JJ and just chill for a little while, after that if you still want to kick someone we will go find someone for you to kick!!!!

Yes, cranky is contagious! Come, sit, be cranky!!! :D

I must confess I'm making myself more cranky by reading & posting on some of these threads. lol

Wouldn't it be nice to know who has you on ignore?

Isn't that interesting??? One never knows, does one???? *bouncing eyebrows*

It does get obvious when you post & you make referrence to someone's name & you get no reaction. It's like hide & seek.:tongue2:

:rofl:

I had not idea that it could be so much fun! I think the only way to know for sure is to send someone a private message asking, "Do you have me on 'ignore user'?" - which, if they do, they won't get, so they won't answer, and then you'll know ...... UNLESS they're out of town or something!! :p

I've been cranky all week b/c I have a cold. For me it's pretty much a matter if I be illin', I be cranky!

You are welcome! We don't discriminate. Crankiness is not a requirement - ESPECIALLY since you brought cookies! :D

IM cranky! i am sore..tired..underpaid...I got Lackonookie disease and I wanna go home..any questions? lol

I empathize with you, as I'm familiar with that illness. It's similar to the other ailment I have in addition to my cold, that being Nottalottapoontang Syndrome.

Dangit Chatt - arent'cha going to pass out booze with those cookies??? :mad:

I want cookies!! How about a recipe thread? Isn't that so Martha Stewart of me? And while we exchange recipes we can debate over the fat content & nutritional values not to mention our opinions on the lovely Ms. Stewart. lol

LOL, Molly! I don't know, cookies and booze ... it just seems wrong, you know?

Okay with me, Lova, you can talk about Martha Stewart all you want if you bake and share cookies while doing it! :D

Have a Biscotti;)

Do cinnamon & brown sugar pop tarts count?

ACK.........do they have Amaretto in them??? LOL

Have a Biscotti;)

Oooo, to go with my second cappuccino!


HEY! How's anyone supposed to stay cranky in this dang cranky corner if we've got all this good stuff here and we're having so much fun??? :mad:

:p

I would love a nice bailey's kahlua & coffee with some fried ice cream and a little scoop of dirt on obama o/k

LOL Chatter.........the world will still be a mess tomorrow :p

I feel more down than cranky. Actually I feel like this...
http://www.todohistorietas.com.ar/mafaldamundo.gif

It is like the world is sick.

Horrible earthquake in Peru. (Do we have a member from Peru here or is it Ecuador?). Hurricane in Jamaica. Tsunami alert in Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica. Poor miners trapped/dead in the US. The situation in the Middle East. Realizing how the Kyoto agreement is turning into a scam. Conflicts in Panama, 4 people dead in protest (that is a lot of dead people in my little country). My tummy hurts and my house plants are dying.

I am sick that there are 181 miners trapped by a flood in a mine in China. And to further read that every year, THOUSANDS of miners die on the job in China.

Otherwise, when I am a little cranky, I feel a lot better after reading some of the posts in the best of craigslist. It helps me realize that I have not be singled out by stupid and rude people, that there are others like me that have reasons to vent their rants.

Too cranky to eat...too cranky to drink...too cranky to think straight...whoever invented algebra seriously needs to be drug out into the street and shot right between the eyes...then drawn and quartered...I'm too dang old to be going back to school...:mad:

cheetos and beer RULE!

Cranky alert!

Okay, I thought the guy was cool when he wrote the book, "He's just not that into you" but he had a 19 year old male and a 38 year old female that are in a relationship ... perhaps married? not sure .... and his attitute STUNK!

Here's all I could stand to see: the guy seems nice enough but is totally unmotivated; the woman is very motivated and is going to use her drive to get him into college, make sure he gets good grades, etc. Okay, now the host kept saying: "But he's 19!"


My thoughts before I turned off the show:

A) As IF 19 year olds DON'T go to college????? Duh.

B) This man would find a woman to tell him what to do at any age. I guarantee if he hasn't found her by the time he's 40, he'll still be looking for her.

C) Same thing for the woman, I'd venture a guess that she was as ambitious and intent on getting her boyfriend/man to be successful at 19 as she is at 38.

As has been said in other threads: not all issues are age-related just because it's an agegap relationship.

:pppbbbttt:

Stinking phishing e-mails.

Things that make me cranky AND CRAZY:

1. My son running the car out of gas and not mentioning it to me.

2. Someone eating the last cookie.

3. People putting empty juice or milk containers back in the fridge.

4. My cat jumping on the table when I'm eating.

5. People leaving clothes on the bathroom floor.

6. Gas prices!

7. Running out of coffee!

8. Weight gain!

9. A sink full of dirty dishes that I didn't create!

And the number 10 thing that makes me cranky...running out of wine!

*Raises glass* here's to cranky corner!

Chocolate always cures my cranky mood. :)

Ok peeps, the cranky corner is open for business. Jen and Angel, bring the drinks over, will ya?

I called a friend today to wish him a happy birthday and to offer to buy him lunch or coffee. This call was made at 10:30 a.m. He sent me an email at 2:30 and said he wouldn't have lunch with me unless I let him change the oil on my car (i asked him to do this a week ago). It wasn't convenient for me AT ALL at the time (I was downtown in meetings for work) and he said to just forget the whole thing! WTF??? Invite a friend to lunch for their birthday and they give you BS???

CRANKY Time...

we're gonna need more than a " cranky corner" - I'm gonna take up a city block all by myself.

Chats "cranky" is just too polite. Maybe "cranky" can be a code name for what we REALLY feel!! Yea I'm CRANKY all right :p Pour me one sis...

I'm cranky because I was supposed to have a "date" tonight. It wasn't a big deal but I was going to get together with someone.

He canceled and actually I didn't care at all. In fact, I was glad he did. But I'm still annoyed. I emailed him yesterday and asked him if we were still on for tonight.....he said absolutely. Then he canceled.

He didn't explain why he canceled. I'm finished with that situation.

Oh, it doesn't matter and it's not relevant but he's 33. An age gap thing....but I've had same age men pull the same crap.....so age really has nothing to do with it.

Trish that sux...just hearing that makes me even more cranky...he must be an idiot...

Trish that sux...just hearing that makes me even more cranky...

LOL! I was pi$$ed off at first but I really was glad that he canceled. A few months ago when we first met my feelings were different. I was open to something between us. Now I'm not sure and I told him that. Maybe he canceled because he got a better offer....a sure thing.

I'm only annoyed because I was honest with him and he said it was fine. He said no matter what he just wanted to spend time with me.

I just don't want someone to insult my intelligence.

Actually, I had a much better time tonight with a man who's intelligent, sweet, kind, adorable, handsome, sexy, and a fabulous friend.....I adore him....

Happy weekend, Everybody!

Ok, anyone got a shot of to-kill-ya? I'm cranky big time and have no idea why. Um, a double shot please! And keep them coming.

Now I'll have a real reason (hangover) tomorrow to come here and be a cranky crank. :bgrin2:

Ah Fae, it's all cool. It's 90 freaking degrees outside and it's October. I could have stayed in Florida for this weather!

Actually, I had a much better time tonight with a man who's intelligent, sweet, kind, adorable, handsome, sexy, and a fabulous friend.....I adore him....
He sounds..... gay. lol



j/k :p

Bubbleee, just come to Wyoming if you want to enjoy cool weather. The high at the moment is 43.

Wow, that's hard to believe! We are soooooo hot here - even at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning! :eek: Every year, I am always amazed to be reminded that the rest of the country is quite different!


43 brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr The heat don't feel so bad now!!!!! :D

I lived in Cheyenne for three years and totally loved the weather, cold, sunny and dry! There was a problem in winter with jogging though, I got cold induced urticaria at -17 below. Was just through there last month and was wonderful weather, dry, sunny, high 70s. The altitude really got to me this time, not used to that in the flatlands of Texas. It was 88 here today, so 43 sounds really good!!

it was cold wet and foggy in mn today high only 51 be thankful for your sunshine and warmth my heat is on now for the winter!!!

And when I'm tired, I get cranky. Anyone else tired or cranky?

I made a beautiful pizza tonight. Bubbly, golden, crispy pepperoni, perfection in pizza! I ended up dropping it face down on the floor :(

driving home from a friends house today...normally takes about an hour...decided to take the expressway cause its usually less hassle....2/3 of the way home the expressway was all backed up due to construction...almost at a standstill so i got off at the next exit....construction on that road too...2 lanes instead of 4....sat through 3 or 4 lights to get through 4 or 5 of the intersections....took 2 hours to get home. then when i got here my dog had peed on the kitchen floor and i didn't see it and stepped in it and fell down!!! WTF thank goodness it's the weekend.

dropping it face down on the floor :(

couldn't have fallen face up so you could save it could it....makes you want to kick something doesn't it

You made my fiancé cry a little with that. He died a little inside. That's almost sacrilegious (sp?).

Oh...he said he still would've ate it and that if you don't want it fish it out and he'll take it. (ewww)

I'll send it off to Alex ;)

Wow, I'm feeling cranky for you! Pizza! Mmmmm

Thanks Bubs, Angel and Jen, I feel better this morning and can laugh about it :D

The loss was so tragic, it took me a few days before I could compose myself enough to respond: Zolliepup, please accept my most sincere condolences for the loss of your pizza. I thought losing a delivered pizza would be one of the worst things that could happen, but losing a perfect, homemade pizza is much, much worse.

Zolie, I took some pictures at the service. I know you were quite distraught and probably didn't take any yourself, so you can save this one:

You want cranky? Cranky is when you are stuck cleaning tea off the monitor because STAN doesn't do beverage alerts!

:giggle: That's a good one, Stan! (Sorry about your monitor, Lady.) It's so tragic - the pizza was so destroyed that they didn't even use a round coffin.


I hope it isn't too soon for zolliepup to appreciate humor! :p

Stan, I have to know how you did that?!!

Okay, I'm cranky today because I have really bad cramps (and a hangover). Can I say "cramps" in mixed company?

They're so bad I can't go to work until they go away! :(

I am tired, peeps, and that makes me sorta cranky.

And I went and got my car oil changed today because I'm not waiting around for that uber cranky friend of mine to do it. Cost me $57 bucks...boo hoo.

Fifty-seven bucks??? They'd better have wiped your a$$ and given you Grey Goose Vodka for that!!

I absolutely loved Pizza huts Eulogy to the pizza Zolie lost..however wth is up with dominos..Bringing that dang dipping sauce to the service!:eek:

I've been nibbling on a container of Breyer's Butter Pecan for about a week and wondering, "What IS it about this that's so awful???" (OF COURSE not awful enough for me to stop eating it!!!!) ... and it suddenly hit me: the pecans are salted!!!!!!! :eek: Ewwwwwwww, who the heck wants salted pecans in their butter pecan ice cream??? :confused: Worse, I don't think they're actually salted ... more like they were soaked in saltwater. Yuck.

I freakin' HATE butter pecan ice cream, even if the pecans aren't salted!!!

I take that one step further and freely admit that I hate all pecans (and walnuts for that matter)... I know, I know, you can call me a nuttest, but I have to be who I am!

I just want to say that I appreciate all the cards, flowers, and well-wishes sent regarding the loss of Pepperoni Pizza. This past weekend we had a wake and celebrated by creating and eating his brother Sausage AND Pepperoni Pizza. The wake went off without incident! I shoulda taken a picture;)

I would call you nutfree, but if you're radical about it, that would make you an anti-nut-ite! :D

Ah yes, the best way to get over a ruined pizza is to make another pizza! :)

I used to LOVE Breyer's Butter Pecan ice cream. Now I almost never eat ice cream at all.

*lighten up Kat, lol* Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving, perhaps??

:rofl:

I have been in such a mood for pizza after the "lost pizza" episode! So, tonight, I bought a freshly made pizza from the grocery store deli, and brought it home to bake myself. I put the pizza on foil and baked it. I removed it, and the friggin' thing was STUCK to the foil!!! I guess I was supposed to put olive oil on the foil. I am friggin' CRANKY! I was peeling foil off, bit by bit, as I ate the damn thing!

Good on ya for sticking with it Polly!

Should I be cranky about this? I know that charges vary by area, but I just got charged $180.00 for 1 1/2 hours of work by a plumber ... is that right?

I hired him to install a new faucet for $90.00 and when he had to move the garbage disposal to get to it, he charged me an additional $80.00, which seems high to me.

I'm asking because he's supposed to come back to replace the insides of a toilet and I don't know if I should call him up to tell him to forget it or if this is normal.

Thanks in advance for the input, gang!

Well Chats, did you have to look at his butt crack while he was under your sink? And if, so, was it a good one? :p Definitely worth factoring into a plumbing cost....

The plumber charges a hundred bucks to show up and work an hour around here.

:tongue2:

Trust me, I didn't look! :no:

Now that I think of it, I had an electrician charge me $180.00 dollars for about an hour and when the air conditioning man comes and flicks a switch or tell me nothings wrong, it costs $85.00. Dang, these men (and women, I assume) sure make a good living.

Okay, so it's the going rate, but I've decided I will still be cranky about it.

:mad:

Chatter, that sounds about right for over here on the west coast of fla as well. I only hire independent people now who don't charge me an arm and a leg anymore. They're out there.

Once I even had the guy who worked for the company come back and work for me on the weekend and paid half the price.

They're outrageous.

Chatter, that sounds about right for over here on the west coast of fla as well. I only hire independent people now who don't charge me an arm and a leg anymore. They're out there.

I agree wholeheartedly, the three workmen who's charges I quoted were all independent business owners. I always try to hire people with their own business because, if I'm going to pay an arm and a leg and an elbow, I at least want the money to go to the person doing the work!

:mad: Did NOT need to read about pecans, ice cream and pizza.

I started a 10-day fast on Saturday. I'm seriously cranky...although not anywhere near as cranky as I was yesterday. I think I'll feel more normal tomorrow.

Post-fast fact that makes me cranky just thinking about it: I can't go eat a fat steak or sushi at the end of the fast. You have to wean yourself back onto food. I get to drink orange juice and eat vegetable broth the first day, maybe some veggie soup the second day. :rant:

I missed this. Did you live through it, SciGoddess????

Is it just me, or is that commercial where people dance with their Dirt Devil vacuum broom REALLY annoying????

Am I the only one that absolutely refuses to buy an iphone because I'd have to use AT&T? (Whether I will ever buy one or not when I can use another provider is irrelevant.) I hate AT&T.

I was not happy with AT&T either, and then they went and bought the cell phone company I have my contact with (Cingular). I have/had a Cingular contract and a Verizon contract (six cell phones in the family). :( I have no desire to have an I-phone.

And the commercial I find really annoying...because I hear it soooo much..is the Taco Bell commerical where the guy working the drive-thru take an order, and then starts talking in the sexy low voice about the food someone ordered....

I hate the majority of commercials, which is probably why I have a child going into advertising...LOL!

I HAD a Cingular phone that I was very happy with until it was cancelled just weeks before the takeover of Cingular was final - so it wasn't "AT&T" that cancelled it, it was "Cingular". :rolleyes: Yeah, right.

Ooooo, you are SO LUCKY! I am not big on gadgets nor knee-jerk consumerism, but ooooooo, iwant an iphone!!! I am just waiting patiently until they allow other carriers. Even though a part of me is totally disgusted with myself for being such a sucker! LOL But, hey, I still have my pride, I will never buy an iphone as long as AT&T is the only provider, but that's a good thing - heck, I've already "saved" $200.00 - no telling how much more I'll save in the future! :D

Don't know that one, (see below) but it sounds annoying.

Isn't that so often the way??? Years ago, people used to say, "If you want your kid to be rich, be a hippie; you'll greatly increase the odds that he/she will be a suit, carry a briefcase, and work for IBM." :)

Although there are some commercials that don't effect me one way or the other, there are others to which I have INTENSE reactions of love or hate! (Yeah, like that's a surprise! :p ) We've tried several times to start "commercials we love (or hate)" threads but they don't work because a suprisingly small number of commercials are shown nationally.

I love commercials. My favorite vaccuum in the commercial is the broom vac that goes squeeky squeeky squeek.

My current fave though, is the herbal essence commercial that shows this gorgeous shower of shiny wavy brown hair just bouncing and swishing looking very healthy and beautiful...then the person turns around and its a chubbby, older biker guy with a beard. lol.

Oh! My daughter LOVEs that squeeky vac commercial! She also loves the eHarmony commercials - she always stops what she's doing to listen to the song! LOL!

Know what makes ME cranky? That stupid Barnyard cartoon that has a MALe COW with UDDERS!!

And the creator doesn't CARE. He says the udders aren't there to define gender - he just thinks udders are funny. :eek:

OK, so putting boobs on Tom & Jerry would be OK, too?

What idiots. And now it's on kids TV - teaching our children that male cows have udders.

Gimme a break. :rolleyes:

This review blog TOTALLY gets what I'm trying to say:
http://www.flickfilosopher.com/blog/2006/08/barnyard_review.html

That whole movie is one big EWWWW if you think about it!

DANGIT! :mad:

No matter how much I KNOW that I shouldn't let people bother me - especially when I know from experience who they are - they'll post something that is so unbelievably inappropriate, that in spite of my best intentions, I think, "I simply cannot BELIEVE they said that!"

:mad:

SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!!!

SERENITY NOW! SERENITY NOW!!!

Owhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Owhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Um, Chatt, are we severely cranky this morning?? :D

Um, Chatt, are we severely cranky this morning?? :D

I WASN'T!!!!! I woke up happy! Last night, I bundled my Mom up in multiple layers and we went to the boat parade; this morning, my cat honored me with a visit, cappuccino was delicious, had quiet time to read the paper, read some great posts; I was happy. :(

But I sa-wh-ahe, that as sure as the sun will shine tahmarrah, I will gah-rab back mah happiness and sah-mile again!!!

With God as your witness, huh? :p (Settle down, Scarlett, tomorrow is another day!)

Thank you, Sugah Plum, I'm fahn now!

First, I acted out the scene from Seinfeld to explain to my Mom where yelling "SERENITY NOW!!! SERENITY NOW!!!!" comes from, and laughed really hard.

Second, I realized that the reason I didn't respond to the post is because my response would be as oboxious as their post, only worse, because I'm gooood! :p

Oh heck, yeah, without a doubt...:D

Oh good. I think this is the right thread. I did a search under the term "rant" hoping to find what I used to have in other forums called a "rant thread", where you basically just posted really quick about something that pissed you off. If so, here's my contribution for today:

My ex-husband is a twatwaffle. Plain and simple. Every time I wonder if it was a good idea to leave him, he pulls one of his stunts. Tonight was "stunt night".

So now I'm in a cruddy mood, and I turn to my YM for some solace. But when I call him, he tells me he's reading and can he call me later. :confused: Wait. Didn't you tell me you hated reading, unless you were really really really really really bored? So, talk to me and make me feel better! :aaaaaaack:

Ok. Rant over. I feel better now.

*toddles off to bake some scones*

It's 40- windchill, it's snowing and it's COLD!!!! #$()@*%$()$*)%($*)(*$

There, I'm cranky...

:eek: Holy cow! Where do you live that it's so cold?? (I'm jealous of the snow, however. DC never gets good snow. :mad: )

Yes, Miyoshi, you're in the right place to rant, complain, moan, crank out, and share major or minor annoyances! :yes:

I thought of calling the thread "The Dumping Ground," but I like "Cranky Corner" better, because who among us is never cranky? :p

LOL Chat....yup you nailed the DC area.
Hey Miyoshi....what does one do if their childhood dream was to be both a vampire as well as a ballerina LOL???

Edit:
OH LOL....Chat, you were talking about cranky corner.....it also fits for the DC area as a whole LOL!

I live on the tundra in South Dakota!!! Can't WAIT to move south!!! :yes:

Hahah! We used to call it the "Rant Thread" on another forum I was on. Pretty much the municipal waste dumping grounds for bad emotions, really.

As for being a ballerina vampire, you would just have to make sure you only performed at night. ;)

I wish we would get some measurable snow here. Sounds like I need to visit South Dakota one time.

It's pretty in the summer...in the dead of winter it's very very COLD with lots and lots of snow!! THankfully the snow stopped and the sun came out...but it's still 26-...and that's without the windchill!!!

I absolutely HATE websites that disguise who they are and what their agenda is, I just ran a search for evolution and found a website that claimed to be a science website ... and all they had was articles disproving the theories of evolution and the big bang theory. Not a word about who or what they are.

My only response can't be posted because it's against board rules, but it's one word and it depicts one of the body orafices.

oral cavity?? :bgrin2:

oral cavity?? :bgrin2:


Lower.


[Now if we had sound, you could lower your voice into a deeper range and repeat "Oral cavity?"] :p

Belly button?

*giggles and skips away*

Belly button?

Now see? This is my only "problem" with the Cranky Corner, we always end up not cranky!! :D

:D

My job here is done.

*flips cape and flies away*

Am I the only one who thinks it's unreasonable that holidays like President's Day benefit only a portion of the population and inconvenience everyone else - and that our tax dollars are paying salaries for the day off when the rest of us don't get the day off?

I'd be fine with it if I got the day off...

:tongue2:

you are not alone Ihad CRAP to do monday and crap was closed..was not happy

:tongue2:

Aha! So you're one of them!

:p

:yes:
Thank you, GG!

:yes:
Thank you, GG!

do you know what it is like going to the courthouse to get tags and your DRIVING with 2 days expired! I got PULLED over cop was like do you realize your driving with them I said Well yes I do and had we NOT had president day i would have them and I would have gotten them sat BUt sat sun and monday you were closed...He just frowned said okay get um tomorrow but no driving anywhere else..I so wanted to say Oh and why not I was planning on driving cross country just for the hell of it and see how many times I can get pulled over JUST FOR FUN lol:tongue2:

LOL GG!

I know how you feel...I got pulled over back in October for having tags that were two days expired, driving my b/f car. I didn't even know the tag was expired!

And of course, being that it was not my car, I could not find the insurance card (I thought ALL people kept them in the glove box). So I ended up getting tickets for expired tag, no proof of insurance AND a broken tag light. I felt like one of those people on the show Cops...

"I'm sorry officer, I just borrowed this car...." yadda yadda.

Aha! So you're one of them!

:p

YOU betcha.

I get even fewer days off than most of my other friends that work for private firms. I know other consultants who DID get Monday off! WHAT-ever.

If you want to get down to the nitty-gritty, yes, in some way our tax dollars probably contribute to every single person that gets holidays like Prez Day, Christmas, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. off.

But if you're talking about the fact that it seems like mostly gov't agencies get days like Prez Day or MLK Day (or here in CA...Caesar Chavez Day) off, and that's where the comment about our tax dollars came in...it ain't so.

Lots of private companies give their employees these days off, as well.

I'm rambling...sorry...

Why, when choosing a toothpaste, do I have to decide if I want stronger enamel, whiter teeth, or fresher breath?

It doesn't seem fair.


AND I can't decide! :mad:

You forgot tartar build up, that IS a choice you know...:yes:

OH GREAT! Add one more to the list, thank you very much, not. :p :giggle:

I am SO glad to have been of service Chatt!! We want to keep those pearly whites of yours in tip top shape!!! :yes::bgrin2::p

Chatts, buy them all and rotate them weekly.:rolleyes: And I have to add 'sensitive teeth" to the mix.:Thud:

Chatts, buy them all and rotate them weekly.:rolleyes:

Like I have to buy my cat two cat foods: one for urinary health and one for hairball prevention. Puhlease, they can't put both in one formula?

And I have to add 'sensitive teeth" to the mix.:Thud:

See, this is why complaining can be a good thing - no matter how many problems anyone has, someone else has more! :giggle:
