Whats bothering your little mind today?

Mine: Seems I now have to sign on to this site about every day. Even after I do, if I want to bid on something, which isn't often, I still have to sign on again. Can' think of another site that requires this much trouble.

Carry on.

Agreed. Figured it was just me. Aggravating, but also give me a second chance to say to myself "Self, just what the hell are you doing bidding on those crappy cigars, anyway?" It's like a little cbid public service.

Ya, I noticed that too.

Anyway, my rant of the day... moving... moving sucks.

Changing offices, moving west!

My rant isn't new today...its been festering for a week:

We live in a townhouse with assigned parking (2 per unit), very few visitor spots and limited street parking within a half mile. One of the kids drove up to visit last week, so I took my car out to find a visitor spot, but none to be had. The house backing up to ours is vacant and for sale. I parked in front of it, but in the morning, I found an empty space where I'd left my car. I talked to the neighbors on either side who claimed ignorance, but did say the owner comes by once a week or so. Tow company had been called ("by owner of the space") at 12:14 AM. No clue who called, but I was mad as hell:

-Who would have a car towed from a space your not using? When, clearly it had to be a neighbor's car? WTF? It could have been one of the folks on that street who's been using the spot since the house is vacant, but still??? WTF?
-If it was the owner, wouldn't they prefer to have a car parked in front of a vacant home to deter thieves, squatters, etc?

-How does a tow company get away with charging $180 for a 3 mile tow and 9 hours of storage??? I think there's some local regulation of rates, but if so, my county is clearly siding with the predatory tow companies.

-And again, wtf kind of people have what is clearly a neighbor's car towed from a vacant space? It's a good neighborhood generally, but this pizzes me off. (We have admonished one of the families on that block about putting trash out days before pickup....I guess this might have been a little payback, but fluck

Were there any signs that said trespassers would be shot?

I hate when my wife buys the yogurt with the foil lids instead of real lids.

Soapbox time? Ok! I hate when you go to a restaurant and they really try to push their “Special” of the day on you, then when you ask for a drink, they try to push top shelf ingredients in it. If I want top shelf, I will ask for it in a chilled glass, neat with some sort of chaser.....

Oh, and finally I really hate the restaurants that demand a 30% gratuity on groups over 5 people. Found this in the fine print at an IHOP in Boise Idaho, and not just 30% of your bill, they demanded 30% gratuity of the overall bill from each of us. Needless to say, I have never darkened the door of an IHOP since.

2hrs of grinding and pulling to remove a tooth on Tuesday. Barely any solid food since then, and NO cigars allowed until next week.

Yay to Vodka and Vicodin.

I had to sign in just to respond... it's getting stupid.

Stupid Nor'Easter hitting tonight into tomorrow. 50MPH winds and ton of rain.....blah...I'd rather it be snow.

Cacman must have really pushed that tooth up there.

Toe surgery today. Only pain killer allowed acetaminophen. Work will be so much fun tomorrow.

I was wondering why Carl didn't go to a dentist.
Sounds like he went to a blacksmith.

It was a rear molar with a twisted root that wouldn't come straight out. Also had a bone graft put in for an implant later.

I thought you were against Drs pushing opioids? don't you know there's an epidemic?

I think the epidemic here in Oregon is everyone being biased against tobaccos. Can’t even light up a cigar in Corvallis without getting a dirty look.....

T******n cigars makes you sign in every few minutes.

Isn't there a whole thread about doctors and big Pharma pushing opiates? I forgot who started that, though it was quite a rant.

Really wish whoever had posted that had managed to talk to cacman... He shoulda known about it before he went to the dentist...
