Pet Peeves 12

I commented to her that night that while her response to "Forks over knives" (which says most diseases are caused by obesity and a vegan whole food diet will cure most diseases) might be correct, she had the exact same response to "under my skin" (a documentary that says most diseases are caused by lyme disease, and that treating the undetected lyme disease will cure most diseases). She might be freaking out correctly now, but she freaked out in the exact same way earlier. I can't afford to change my life everytime she watches Netflix!

I had a similar sort of reaction to some documentary we watched about trash. Baby albatrosses with bellies full of soda bottle caps means hubby now has to put bottle caps in a box to ship off to some company in Ohio that recycles them.

BABY ALBATROSSES.

I emailed a company that's running an online auction about some of their lots, which have computers and desks in one lot, to ask if I bid on them and won, and picked up the computers but left the desks behind, if that would OK or if they would charge a disposal fee or anything.

The answer I got back was "we'll work with you"

How about a yes or no?

how many times did he say "the cloud"

List in chronological order EVERYTHING you have done since high school. This would include places of employment, hospitals, teaching institutions, private practice, corporations, military assignments, government agencies, and locum tenens assignments. The Board requires you to account for any and all time. NO time gaps will be accepted. You will need to label any unemployed time as “vacation”, “sabbatical”, or “moving” (whatever is appropriate). Provide details regarding these time gaps in the Description field. A CV will NOT replace completing this section of the application.

Sorry. I feel your pain. BF is taking his board renewals this year. I have to list how many primary surgeries he's performed the past year. And get letters from both hospitals attesting to his good character and work ethic. I've got to hunt down his CME's for the past 3 years. And several other things. Plus get him signed up for a refresher class AND the test. He can't just waltz in and take the test. He has to prove he's still competent. I guess that's a good thing but it's a huge pain in MY ass. i just have to say, the support staff is not at all helpful.

webferret said:   Fires in NM. I can't imagine how horrible it is to be there. I do know that I am tired of the smoke and crappage in the air here. Line at the pharmacy this evening was long. Way long. Everyone getting antibiotics for the sinus infections.

That's why I was there.

Can't be that much worse than the southside when the Great Dismal Swamp is on fire.

you don't go to an event that is supposed to honor someone and then proceed to insult that person

unprofessional. and yes, embarrassing.

Ummm... Rickles?rickles is a comedian. insulting can actually be professional for them

trying not to make this a political thread

just...new guy insulted last guy

My poor addled MIL who asks my husband at the last minute to pick up a Father's Day gift for her to give to his dad. The gift is a specific pair of shoes in an uncommon size. Evidently, my husband or his brother was wearing a pair of pull-on work boots one day when they were visiting and their dad liked them. She can't remember which one of the guys was wearing these shoes and doesn't remember anything specific like the brand of shoe. Hubby has a couple of different pairs of work boots, so we're guessing it was him since BIL mainly wears flip-flops or athletic shoes. We had already looked at one tractor supply location yesterday and they didn't have the boot in his size (I doubt they make it in that size or if they do, it would have to be special-ordered). Hubby is starting to get stressed out. We're hosting a Father's Day fish/shrimp/alligator fry at the house on Sunday for everyone, so between work, preparing for this weekend, and dealing with a leaky faucet connection upstairs that we just discovered yesterday he doesn't need any other pressure put on him.

I checked Amazn a few minutes ago and found a better make/model in the right size and can have it here tomorrow. Thank the gods for Amazn.

MIL either has no concept of how inconvenient dumping something like that on him is, or she does this kind of crap intentionally because she knows that he will end up paying for part/most of it.

Just found the PERFECT shoes for a wedding I am going to in August. PERFECT!

I refuse to pay $295.00 for a pair of sandals.

This makes me sad.

Car requiring repair. Bill for said repair.

Eye twitch. That annoying muscle spasm in your eyelid. I'm just thankful it isn't a bilateral upper AND lower twitch fest.

dog now refuses to eeat his dry food

dear media - sometimes your ass-kissing of certain people is as obvious as a recent bad decision in boxing

Seconded.

eBay message from the high bidder of an auction that has ~10 hours left on it, and 13 watchers. Current high bid is a few bucks less than the last one on eBay sold for:

dumbass ebayer said: Hi! How Are you? Im gonna be paying this auction today... And i wanna know if you could stop this auction, because i've won this auction already... Thank you very much!!!

Umm, no. It still could get more bids. And I really hope it does, and not just so I make more money.

Evidently, if I want to do warranty repairs on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display (Mid 2012) I need to take two classes and another certification exam.

It looks like they are online, but still...

When we come across someone my husband knows but who hasn't met me... and the person and I just stare at each other, waiting for husband to do the proper introductions...

And then he doesn't. >_<

Oh, I do that all the time. Your hubby doesn't remember the person's name. He wants you to introduce yourself so he can pretend like he knew all along.

Yep. And he knows to return the favor when I don't introduce HIM to somebody.

the same face-palm you learned in jiu jitsu?
