APPLAUSE. Ever buy cheese that is in a "reusable" baggie? Like, wtf? No, it is NOT reusable. Its a bitch just to open, then trying to close it again??? Fergitaboutit.
Silly man, you expect todays manufactures to stand behind their product? They can't, reason being their stuff is being made overseas. you know that place where rules don't apply, or can't be enforced.
Just heard another American company just went under. They were the last label maker, who's main label was "MADE IN AMERICA"
Regarding bags, I know a a local business that made and screen printed bags for dog food companies, quite a niche area of business, but it was interesting. Simple dog food bags that don't cost a dime each of material. The company ended up going out of business, because they found out that a cheaper bag could be made by shipping the raw materials over to china, have the bags made and screen printed, and shipped back to the US, and then railed back here to Nebraska. Which was fine until the dog food manufacturers found out they could do the same thing.
Don't know what its like were you live, but money is tight for the local goverments. but of course the residents have deep deep pockets, so the city goverments have started to use the police depts as revenue collectors. The preferred method is issueing traffic citations that donot require the office to appear in court. Thereby saving overtime pay and gathering in more money. God forbid getting into a minor fender bender because they now charge you for a cop to come out a write it up for the insurance company. Charges include but not limited to the officers hourly pay scale times 2, the cost of the partrol car use, the admin clerk's cost for writing of the paper work back at the station any hourly pay. Plus the company's fee they hired to do the paper work. Great times we live in now, your tax money just seems to go to help you to owe more than those on give-away programs. Its been said the first natural resource we will run out of is the "AMERICAN TAXPAYER!"
Here is a "bitch" those silly overhead traffic cameras. I got one several months ago for going through (supposingly), a red light, but when I went to court judge called it illegal and dismissed the case. So I kept my perfect driving record. Gawd there is justice in this world. They were even ticketing funeral processions.
That judge will have a hard time getting re-elected. You just can not cut off the city free money ride and not suffer the city goverment's ire!
Waiting to step onto an escalator?! Okay,escalators are not that difficult. Look where you are about to step and step on in stride. Do not walk up to the escalator…stop…wait…wait some more…time the step…and then step on. Walk your normal pace, and step onto the escalator in stride. Thank you.
Bought a new washer and dryer. Somehow had it in my head that we had a gas dryer, which we don't. No I gotta schedule a new delivery.
Uh oh! You must have been behind me. I am awful at getting on and off escalators. In fact, I would always take stairs when I could. Then, our local mall took out all the steps and put in escalators throughout. In fact I'll make it a bitch! Dummies who took out the stairs stink. LOL!
Lesson one, when entering a escalator, one picks up their right foot first, then places it upon the first moving step, transfer your body weight to that foot, stiffin back muscles, pick up left foot, grasp moving hand rail firmly, and ride either up or down said escalator to next level. Secondly place left foot down in a muscle controled effort on last moving step off area, then transfering the body weight to right foot and relaxing back, hip, and left leg muscle. Continue to move off said device in a foward normal human gait. There is no need to kiss the floor or level you have just arrived on, in thanks for riding a man made labor saving invention to help you spend more money and carry more stuff than you need. ENJOY! So sayth "OTIS" the elevator company!
I can't find my cell phone!!! I used it last night and didn't put it back into my purse. I'm so irritated.
Is it an iphone? You can use MobileMe to locate it or alarm it. I use SeekDroid for my Android phone. I've had to use it many times just to turn the alarm on to find it in a couch.
Damn, but I hate this time of year! Every bit of dust and pollen wants to mate with my nose to create nothing more than snot and sneezes. And there is nothing more enjoyable than blowing that crap all over face, hands, shirt and handkerchief. Bonus for me is I get to sit on that wet snot rag till I get home to replace it with another dry one. Let me count the ways I love spring!!
Unbeliveable, gone for a couple days and missed out on the hoodie thing. There were some coments made that actually made sense and some that were non-sense. Would have liked to coment on them as they were posted, but when you snooze you lose. And I lost.
Tried to find out why the ice maker was making a lot of creaking and croaking sounds in the freezer, grabbed a hold of it to try to move it a little to see what was making the noise, and when i reached underneath it, I got burned on 3 fingers. At least I think I got burned, do those things have heating elements in them? I grabbed right onto the thing underneath. Maybe I got shocked, I don't know, but it hurts like hell to type now.
