The exhaust systems on BOTH the cars need replacing within a week of each other,

then the water heater dies 2 days after the 2nd car's exhaust system is replaced!

"Do you want fries with that?"

and although one chain has removed them, they still haunt us at the drive thru with
"Do you want to supersize that?"

That agressive "hard sell" they give you at movie theater concession stands to buy the larger size.

out of state motorhomes

(it seems that these beasts can only go 2 speeds 45 MPH or 80 MPH -- on 2 lane roads either you're behind one belching blue smoke or one is behind you and you can EASILY read the license plate tag that always says "5002 .pxe adirolF")

(get it?)

People who, when using mass transit, have apparently never heard of the concept of a "single file." (Free-for-alls are never free to those whose patience is taxed no end!

)

Okay, it takes a lot to get my goat, but I really get hot :!:

:!: When someone asks, "Can I borrow (fill in the blank)." and then you never see "it" again!

The only consolation, is usually I never see that person again. Then the trade-off was worth it.

Hugs,

I wish all the Canadian govt would come down and pick up all their geese -- we're not babysitters for their wayward flock.
