something that bugs me

[nessonite1]

Yeah...ticks can get huge. sometimes one will go unnoticed and they drop off of the dog on the floor. It's like a bloated blood filled jelly bean. And one gets stepped on.....ewwwwwwww......

Yeah, that seems like a nasty sight. Blood mixed with white puss and entrails...

 

[nessonite1]

Actually it's just blood. Just a big pool of blood. If you've ever seen a non-engorged tick they are pretty tiny. A very small, almost perfectly flat bug. There is not much to them before they start to feed. Then when they are done they have increased in size many times. In fact...here is a pic!

Stepping on one results in an audible *pop* and a little pool of blood on the floor. And then, if you didnt notice, bloody footprints across the house. Fortunately it's never happened on the carpet!

Why are we discussing this, btw?? LOL

 

[MistressValerie1]

You should be discussing this at www.ocmb.net 😀

 

[nessonite1]

ROFL Missy Val...I think I'd feel a tad uncomfortable discussing stepping on bugs with people who would masturbate over it!!
Wait...Vlad!! Where's your other hand?!

Nani? Are you saying I have some sick bug squishing parasite fetish? Eww....

No thank you ma'am.

Lets see....something else (for the sake of being on topic)

I've got an appraiser coming over to look at the appartment complex, and this person left the notice to view the premise just TODAY, and they are coming over TOMORROW, so I wanted to make the place look a bit more presentable for potential buyers.

I didn't want to do it, but presentation does help. The problem was in them just telling us today, with little time to prepare. Thats pretty inconsiderate. Ah well.

 

[nessonite1]

I have that problem as well. The property we live on is up for sale and there are constantly people walking around. it's quite unnerving as we are used to having total privacy.
Last year the realtor came by saying they had people who wanted to look at the house RIGHT NOW. I was sick in bed and hubby said there was no way he'd let them in with no advance notice.
So then to realtor actually had the nerve to ask him to open all the shades so people could look inside!!

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Thats really something. Lousy jerk.

Dude...Hire a band. You can't get a better presentation than that. They can play...uh...in the parking lot. I bet you could get an 80's hair metal hold over band for cheap (they're probably tired to playing birthdays and barmitzva's anyway). That's my advice.
Oh...and what ever you do....never, ever follow my advice.
You see, I have a lot of good ideas...
the problem is...they all suck. 😀

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Yeah, thats the ticket. I could threaten and force them to buy the property by blasting metal just like you said until their eardrums bleed!

I see absolutely no downside to that...well...aside from them possibly losing their hearing, coming back later and then suing my ass. 😛

Thank you for that, thank you very much. 😛


Lets see, something else...

Oh, I've got a biggie! One thing that pisses me off sometimes is when you have the right of way to a parking space because you were there first as the car pulling out is just leaving, but the guy/girl in front of you cuts you off by inching their way in slowly just as the recent parker is leaving and takes the parking for themselves when the nice thing to do would have been to let you have it because you arrived first and specfically stopped and waited, and they know this.

One the one hand you don't completely blame them because you probably would have done that too, especially if parkings spaces were slim, but on the other hand you feel like tearing them a new one for the fact that they were sneaky and underhanded about it. It almost makes you want to not be a good person in instances like this.

I just assume that, when I'm driving, anyone else in a car is my enemy. :weird:

Suvival of the fittest, I suppose.

 

[alchemy1]

Actually it's more like survival of the most maniacal. Seriously though, I'm a very considerate driver...as long as people do 3 things:

1. Go AT LEAST the speed limit (not 30 mph under!!!)
2. DO NOT come to a complete stop when turning. Really people, you can turn with your car still moving...in fact, it's advised!
3. Zoom to get around me and then slam on their brakes...I really hate this one.

Anyone who violates any one of the above 3 rules will more than likely be subjected to barely audible harsh language, a variety of curses, and the frantic shaking of a fist in the air.

 

[nessonite1]

It's a speed LIMIT, not a minimum! You trying to get us ticketed?? 😛

DO NOT come to a complete stop when turning. Really people, you can turn with your car still moving...in fact, it's advised!

That will also get us a ticket!

Zoom to get around me and then slam on their brakes...I really hate this one.

Betre add "DO NOT" to the front of that 😛

I don't have license to drive. Im sure as hell not going to you for driving lessons!! 😛

 

[alchemy1]

Hmph

fine. Learn to drive wrong. Go ahead. See if I care. 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

 

[nessonite1]

hahaha we're paying a $300 a year surcharge for 3 years for a smallish ticket we got YEARS ago. And since they never tell us when it is due hubby has had his license suspended twice now for not mytically knowing when to send it. That costs $125 to get back! So needless to say I'm not looking for ways to get more driving tickets thankyouverymuch 😀 😛

 

[alchemy1]

Here's a tip for ya Nessy. Carry around a little pad and pen with you when you are driving. If you ever get pulled over, it WILL come in handy. How? Simple. As the cop is writing you a ticket, you be writing him one. When he tears his off and gives it to you, you tear yours off and give it to him. You know, just be creative. Cite him for wasting your time and being a willing pawn in the state's game of fascism. Also cite him for waisting your money. Yeah, and write in big, bold letters "My taxes pay your salary". Hey, they like it when you take an interest in local politics. It shows them that you're on top of things and clearly someone to be reckoned with. The key here is to get their respect. The cop may become angry, he may even throw your ticket to the ground. If he does, you do the same with his. He can't do that to you. Remind him that he's a public servant and that by acting the way he's acting, he's not serving you very well right now. That being said, ask for a drink of water. The point is that you stay in control of the situation. In fact, write him another ticket for throwing your first one to the ground. Cite him for littering this time. At this point he may become volitile shouting all sorts of demands and stomping his feet. You keep smiling. You keep your cool...and in 20 or 30 years, you'll be a free person again, but you'll be a free person with your dignity intact.
Hey, I'm here to help. 😀
Oh, and by the way...NEVER EVER DO THIS...EVER!!!

 

[nessonite1]

LOL @ Alchemy 😀
We are going to get one of those charity license plates soon. The kind where the money from it goes to widows and orphans of fallen police officers. I've heard they usually let you off with a warning when you're sporting one of those. 😉

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm thinking about getting one of those. My brothers both have one.

My younger brother is on the sherrif's dept. and gave me a special wallet, with a badge, and the message "Officer's family" in it. That will usually get me out of trouble.
