Yesterday I walked into an antiques stores with a cup of ice-cream. I asked if may enter with the ice-cream. I was told, "yes, as long as you don't eat it."
Heh? Her not-so-helpful customer said "Just take it outside."
Yeah, thanks, I will...and not come back.
Just put up a sign that says "No food or drink, please." Please!
I guess they thought it was better for you not to eat it, but just let it melt and drip all over their antiques??? Some people... Most of us learned to eat without spilling our food when we were what ... five? I agree, they just need to put up a sign. |

Today is not going well. I should just STFU.
In a discussion about venting?! No way. VENT! Let it out. Get pi$$ed off about someone or something. Alright... What, is it, like, Global PMS Day today or something? If not, what excuse can you possibly offer? Maybe this should go on the "questions only" thread. |

"We've been married for xx years and you STILL can't figure it out? Look, here's a quarter. Why don't you call someone and see if they will help you PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR A$$." Based on that, I guess the answer to your question is "no". Now, excuse me. I need to make a phone call. Alan |

I saw a t-shirt in the store that said "There is no PMS. This is my personality."

Okay, I'm eating lunch in this fast-food joint today, and the guy at the next table's cell phone rings. He puts in on speaker, LOUD, and proceeds to have his conversation walkie-talkie style for everyone to hear.
Apparently the caller was in his vehicle, was trying to find something that fast-food guy had given him directions to, and was lost.
"No, Joe, you're supposed to be going south on Pine Street. PINE STREET."
"I thought it was on Oak Street."
"No, that's Joe's Automotive. I told you, it's JACK'S Automotive."
"Well, I'm going west on Maple right now. How do I get to Pine Street again?"
It was so enjoyable hearing both sides of this conversation (as I'm sure it was for all of you <g>).

"The Salvation Army band played
And we drank lemonade"
.......
"it felt like the world was on fire
With John F Kennedy, and the Beatles"
....
"Ooh la la la lalla, Life in a Northern Town
when all the work shut down...."
I am trying. I could play the whole thing now, as I got it on one of my 80s compilation CDs. Gotta love them one-hit wonders from the 80s.
Class of 1985 rules.

Sorry, I've spent most of the day banging more of my head against the wall. Someone upthread mentioned David Alan Coe, who I have truly not thought about since 1988 or so. No. No no no no no. In the meantime, here are the Dream Academy lyrics. They're not bad, actually: Life in a Northern Town
A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down.
The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town. * The bye-bye business is hokey, but otherwise, it beats, well, a lot of other stuff, then and now. |

We have a duplex next door, full of families with teenagers. One particular set of kids likes to park their dilapidated truck out front, with the subwoofer-enhanced stereo up at full volume blaring rap at all hours of the frigging night. (Seriously, this is a 1980-something Chevy Blazer rust-bucket POS with a $2000+ sound system.) Our bedroom's on the complete opposite end of the house and I've been literally vibrated out of bed 3 of the last 5 nights well after midnight.

I think I would call the police to file a "disturbing the peace" complaint. |

Yemama-
Call me old and crotchety, but last night I called the cops on a noise disturbance. The kids a few houses over were setting off fireworks that were way beyond the allowable firepower in my state. Plus, they were doing it at 10:30 PM. It woke up my toddler which ended up costing me an hour and a half of prime writing time. They set one off so loud the police could hear it over the phone. After that, the police sent a car over right away. We had peace and quiet in less than 10 minutes (except for the terrified toddler). The best thing about doing it that way, rather than trying to go reason with teenagers(assuming their parents were not there allowing them to risk blowing their hands off or burning down the neighborhood with contraband aerials), is that the offenders never have to know who called. I would definitely call in your case.

This was my inclination as well, but my husband is one of those super non-confrontational types. I think that next time it occurs, I will call the police and send a letter to the property owner about their tenants. This family also drops litter EVERYWHERE - they're a regular bunch of obnoxious pigs.

Huh? :~) So we're trying to play (note "trying") nine holes of golf yesterday at a pretty nice public course near my house, and the foursome ahead of us, each of whom was way worse than me (and that's saying alot), slowed play down to a trickle but were so ignorant they didn't have a clue about allowing us to play through. They blamed their slowness on the foursome ahead of them. There was no foursome ahead of them. Liars, liars, liars. Plus, I don't care if it hurts men's egos: if you cannot hit the ball more than 50 feet, use the damn yellow tees. You should not be playing from the blue tees. Grrrrrrrr. |

Mr. Alan, Please tell beautiful spousal unit "Thank You" for the useful phraseology. I can foresee many instances where this will come in handy. |
