im hacking up nasty stuff and its making my sore throat feels better. I havent taken any Sudafed since Oct and im trying to keep myself off of it.

Good advice I heard on Dr Oz: take a shower and wash your hair when you get home, before you go to bed, to avoid contaminating your pillow and bedding with pollen during heavy pollen season. Also, wash glasses to remove pollen. Common sense, but not things I've ever considered.


you are a goof!
sublimosa said:   ^^^^omg, I kept going over and over MA's rant letter by letter to figure out where the grammatical error was and thinking he was either crazy or I was a giant buffoon---
but I never expected the apostrophe to be in dog's so I didn't check there until after about the fifth run-through!!
Maybe she just forgot a word-like "I want to date a guy who likes dog's tails."....
MA, What were the words we should all know how to define?
(I'd like to gauge my vocab, intellect and standards against hers.)


@corgs:


Well, AT&T has officially gone down the toilet. Got a call center in India, put me on hold and then disconnected me, farkin figures....


they didn't disconnect you on purpose. they weren't in a good coverage area

Dear alarm clock: PLEASE STOP WAKING ME UP!

Thank you!


stupid little paper tags on tea bags that aren't securely attached to the string and come off when you try to tear them out of the little paper packet thingy

MadAnthony said:   I opened an online dating profile to discover that it started out with a several paragraph rant about how she doesn't want to date anyone who isn't educated, doesn't have a large vocabulary, ect (complete with a list of several words you should be able to define).

Which was ironic since her profile was full of gramatical mistakes, such as that she wants to date a guy who likes dog's.

Unfortunately for her, I only date women who know when to use the possessive tense.

That's a huge pet peeve of mine. Why do so many people confuse possessive and plural?


I was just about to buy a $50 Century 21 gift card to use the AMEX/Twitter C21 online promo, but the fine print states that the promo doesn't apply to gift cards. C21's website sucks so, if I can't buy a gift card to use in store, the promo is worthless.

It sure would take a lot of $50 gift cards to buy a house, no?

IDK. Maybe they can tell by the information on the charge? You should try it and let us know if it works.

I bought a $25 TJ Maxx gc and a $25 Marshall's gc from Staples.com this morning and that purchase worked for the Staples/AMEX promo.


Poison ivy is like Whack-A-Rat, ya never know where it's going to pop up next.


system development guys: Hey, we need you to deploy this software

madanthony: Hey, guys, after reading the documentation, there are a couple different ways it can be configured. How do you want it configured?

Well, it's been confined to my hands and forearms but I had a small spot on my chest this morning. Still a battle I'm winning, scrubbing it till it's raw works works every time.


People that have like 20 cars lined up behind them on a curvy mountain road but refuse to pull over.


Sneezing 10 times in a row. Stupid allergies.


^^used to take zyrtec every day until last fall but since doing the saline nasal spray didn't need it any more
was just smugly telling my sister last week that she ought to try the nasal spray and she'll be fine
and what happened to me this past weekend? started sneezing incessantly despite the nasal spray
time to start the zyrtec again

listening to people who know little about computers give each other technical advice that's not exactly accurate

Weekly visits with the in-laws.


someone was giving me specific CLI instructions...after i already typed them in

(he was watching me do it)


people who can't tell the difference between a macbook pro and an imac


I have one hour left at work... and our host server is down. I can't do ANYTHING. Can't input adjustments. Can't researc accounts. Nothing.

And unless it's down for a long time... I don't get a separate time code for "down-time"... so this counts against my production.

Fudgebuckets!
