Peeve of the Day

[BOP]

Old? Nah! Age is but a number, BOP. 56 for me this year and I am far from old acting.

Anyway, we went in December - and I LOVED IT! Foxhound signed on because I really wanted to go and I booked the tickets as soon as I saw the commercial on TV. The seats were nearly booked then, too. He could have backed out & I had any number of GFs who would have gone with me.

IF you love the Osmonds- like I did when I was a younger gal - no doubt about it, they put on a great show. Classy, no vulgarity. Good clean fun. I didn't have to put up with a bunch of mouth breathing, pants hanging to their knees idiots in the audience either. Winning!

Glad you had a good time! That's what counts. I was never into the Osmonds or the Jackson 5 when I was little. I was certainly aware of them, but not really a fan. I'm staring 59 in the face, so I can definitely relate to the age thing. Some days I feel 20-something....okay, 30-something, other days, you'd think I was 80.

I will not use those self-checkouts even if I have one item that will total a one dollar bill. If the store is not going to give me an extra discount for doing their job, of say 5-10%, what's the point? So the chain (corporation) can reduce its workforce? I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for the privilege of scanning and bagging my own purchase while at the same time increasing unemployment. They really have trained their customers, well. Suckers.

:like: Discount? They are driving prices up while performing less and less. How many full time employees do these stores even have anymore?

 

[ArkRescue]

I keep getting ads for age spots and concealed carry...!

Well see, there you go ................. just pack your gun over an age spot, problem solved.

it keeps the rifraf off the streets

Not saying that you are, but I find men to be the some of the slowest of the self-checker demographic groups.

We're methodical, and we don't roll our crap on top of yours when you're trying to bag.

 

[SoMdDude]

Self-checkout: I love it! What I don't love is when the person behind me starts scanning their groceries and sends them down the belt....right into where I'm trying to bag my groceries. Dude, really? Just hang on 15 seconds and I'll be out of your way. Stop bombarding me with your stuff. It's annoying AND I might just accidentally stick your groceries in my bag.

Why are people so rude??

I make sure I turn and give the person behind me the evil eye while im baggin my sh*t up... but some woman with a attitude started doing this once, I took the first two things she scanned and sent down the belt and threw them in the aisle, she sure as hell got the hint and waited after that

If I behaved like the way I see a lot of kids behaving, my Mom would have filled my mouth with soap. I swear, I still burp up Ivory once in awhile!

I hear ya!!!

Strep throat is my peeve of the day and has been my peeve of the day since Monday. :sick:

I think that is what I had a month ago - lasted like 2 good weeks. It went away on its own, but my voice took a 3rd week to go back to normal.

Strep went away on its own? No antibiotics? You're lucky it didn't lead to rheumatic fever.

You didn't get any meds with it? You're better than me. I thought you had to have an antibiotic to get rid of it. I was crying with pain the 2nd day into and got an antibiotic when my strep test came back positive. It seems it has left me with a cold and congestion though.

Hope your feeling better Sweets.

Thanks! I actually feel almost human like today.

I went to the dr and they said I didn't have a fever so it wasn't a big deal.

Did you have the red bumps and white crap in the back of you throat?

 

[ArkRescue]

Did you have the red bumps and white crap in the back of you throat?

I never looked. It was sudden onset, no fever, no serious congestion, throat hurt constantly, trying to swallow was very painful, and I lost my voice for almost a week, and slowly got my voice back over the following 2 weeks (total 3 weeks). I guess it's possible that it wasn't strep? But I have NO other symptoms, which seemed very strange.

Sounds like you just had a severe sore throat, not strep.

I'll never know now, but it was horrible. Glad that's over. Initially I thought I had finally caught the flu again after so many years of not having it (last time I was 19 I believe). So still no flu and I don't get flu shots either. I must have a kick-butt immune system because I am around sick people regular at home, work, and relatives.
