Yay! It's Pet Peeve time!

[MMDad]

So.

Help me understand why the county would spend all that money on cute brick median strips, then not maintain them so that weeds and trees (some of them a foot high) can grow up in the cracks and destroy them?

Because the people who decide it would be great to do these things hire people who don't care to put them in, then hire people who don't care to maintain them, then when the budget is tight they cut the people who maintain them. Then a few years later they all start from scratch, convince people how great another "renewal" project would be, spend tons of money, and make sure they get front page coverage on the Emptyprise for the ribbon cutting that just by coincidence happens just before election day.

[PsyOps]

Since I followed moms footsteps so here goes...Our potatoes, tomatoes and onions were never in the fridge so when I got my own home and family that's the way it was done. There was a bowl of fresh fruit on the table to grab from, so ditto.

Some that others think odd but I do... Peanut butter wasn't refrigerated nor pancake syrup, never had a problem of any kind.

Leave the butter out also....I do.

 

[acommondisaster]

Bread in the fridge is disgusting.

Yeppers on Land-o-Lakes or any store bought. Our homemade in fridge because would mold quickly due to having no preservatives. We did use both at times though. No margarine in my moms house.

Good morning all.

The 10's of thousands of dollars that Calvert County (and Charles for that matter) piss away having graduation at Showplace Arena in Upper Marlboro is one of my many pet peeves.

..... pancake syrup, never had a problem of any kind.

was the Syrup 100% Maple - that will grow mold a couple of months after opening


Log Cabin ........ would probably be good in the next decade

It took two weeks worth of watching over a friends chickens while they were on vacation (in return we got the eggs)

my daughter, age 7, helps the old man, Duke, up the st feed the chickens, in return she gets a couple eggs a week.

she WILL NOT eat an egg at home, unless it is from up the street they are Brown Eggs, and have a darker yoke - and SHE Knows the Difference


I tried to fool her one day

*arms crossed - tapping foot*

Megan: 'dad those are not dukie eggs'

Me: yeah they are

Megan: 'no they aren't dark enough' ...


walks off refusing breakfast

I realy liked the guy that cut off another bike to get into the left turn lane at 235 and Chancelers run. Then he cut off a car next to me by making a U turn from the right lane of the left turn lane.

People who move here because they "love it" and then say "But this is what needs to change".

You mean like complaining where the local high schools hold their graduations?

Just as a point of interest, where did they hold the graduations before the Showplace Arena was built? My kids weren't in High School then.
