Wow. I can feel the tension coming out of the computer!

Rather than focus in on the negatives, how about a list of ten things that make you happy?

Fricking left lane bandits! Move over and let us by! [sm=chairshot.gif]

Number 4 and number 10 are my biggest pet peeves.

hahaha.. lets look at this.. that doesnt make sense.. letting children be themselves means having no control, kids are crazy energetic sponges, thats why they get into everything.. bc they are learning.. lol..

doesnt seem like you are very tolerant.. lol

That was 100% intentional and most certainly has the appearance of being at odds with one another. There are people who won't let their kids do anything and others that spoil their kids rotten to the point the appreciate and respect nothing and no one. There is a huge gap in between these 2 points.

As for the intolerance part....certainly depends on the subject matter (and fatigue level).

You can still have control over your children, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC, while letting them have fun. There are too many unfit parents out there who let their children control them. Children are like dogs... you have to establish the rules and stick to the rules in order to maintain discipline. If I acted the way some of these brats act at the local grocery, my back porch would have been red and I would have been in my room for the rest of the day. It's about stepping up to the plate and raising polite, respectful children.


It bothers me when construction happens and there is absolutely no attempt to keep or replace the natural beauty destroyed. I'm not saying that new construction shouldn't happen because it's good for the economy and infrastructure, but it bothers me when 100's of trees are removed and only 15-20 are planted. The math just doesn't work for me and now a road I usually traverse on two wheels for the scenery is significantly less beautiful.


People who preach that prejudice is wrong. It doesn't necessarily link to your race. I am prejudice against anyone I meet until I know about their character. I will judge a book by it's cover, at first, because that's the image of yourself you have chosen to present to the world. I will not apologize for it nor will I stop.


And slow people in the fast lane, dishes, rounded off bolts.... all make my list.


When my computer misplaces a file I spent 2 hours modifying for a class...
