My life almost flashed before me this afternoon as I saw the turning SUV coming straight at me and slam on the breaks. I sprinted the rest of the way across the street, pointed at the little white man on the light, and shouted "Walk sign ( Read more... )

You know what really grinds my gears? People who post pictures from concerts on facebook. I know I've been guilty of it, but there's a difference between one or two pictures in your "random" album, and an entire album of 200 photos from so far up you can't even tell how many people are on stage.

I'm talking about the ones who see me wheeling my suitcase, and honk, thinking I want a cab. But I don't need a cab. I'm wheeling my suitcase to my car or apartment. Were I in need of a cab, I would be standing on the curb waving my arm, ( Read more... )

You know at the bottom of most coupons, it says "Cash value of 1/100 cent." Does anybody ever collect 100 and try to redeem them for a penny? Where would one redeem it?

I missed it!! I was going to post on April 7, 2009, that it was my five year anniversary with Livejournal. But I forgot. I made my first entry on April 7, 2004. The title of that post was "The beginning of a short lived phenominon (sp)...(i can't spell, that won't be the only typo ( Read more... )

You know what really grinds my gears? When I get "pre-approved" credit card offers for credit cards I already have, and emails about paying my bills online when I already do. Way to waste paper and ...emails..., Chase!
