Things which are annoying

[pegkerr]

The Twin Cities movers and shakers have been wooing both parties for 2008 political conventions. This morning the announcement was made: they landed . . . the Republican convention. Yes. Well, at least it was St. Paul, rather than Minneapolis. Still. My state will be overrun before the election with Rush Limbaugh dittoheads. Rawr.

The girls have been Very Annoying and Extremely Rambunctious in the back seat of the car during all the endless errands I had to run today. I have warned them repeatedly to pipe down. They are ignoring me. Why can't they ignore each other, too, instead of squabbling?

I have two bristly hairs on my chin which are driving me crazy, and tho' I pursued them for, no lie, fifteen minutes with a pair of tweezers tonight because I am just obsessive that way, they are still too short to grasp and pluck out. Long enough to be annoying, too short to grasp. In desperation, I ran a razor over my chin. They are still there.

The woman who thought she could lend us a cello for Delia so we wouldn't have to rent brought it for her to try today, and it is too small. We will have to rent after all.

My parking rampThe ramp where I currently park is going up $40 a month.

The Senate Democrats caved and pass the bill "granting the President leeway to decide which other interrogation techniques are permissible." Well, no, on second thought, that is not annoying.

That is infuriating.

You have your own parking ramp? I am Confused. How does one purchase one's own ramp?

(If it's some kind of a typo, well, I apologize for being poky. I'm just curious!)

And also angry. 65-34. What the bloody hell?

Ah, but think of what else is that week/end! We have the every lovely and traffic-snarling State Fair! We have tens of thousands of college students and their parents in town to start school!

I am so grateful that I will be out of town by then. Thank God.

If I may make a suggestion, Peg, ever since I was a teenager I did not hesitate to pull over if my passengers were being too unruly. Since I was a new driver and many teens have accidents while distracted, this was a fairly reasonable demand.

As an adult, it firmly reminds people who's driving the car.

What size cello? We've got a 3/4 size- is that too small? It's got a wolf in it, but not too bad...What quality does she need? Really superb or "enough to not be noticeable"?

My condolences. We had them here in 2004 and they never moved out of their Republican Controlled Cattle Pens to see how Real People live in NY, but were still very annoying.

*hugs*

They passed the torture bill? How could they?

Ah yes, the curse of the chin hairs. Sally Hanson wax strips. Rips those hairs right out.

A pretty good description of life, I think. :-)

Both of our senators here in Florida approved this thing. The Democrat is up for re-election. This is going to be a hold-my-nose vote because his opponent is Katherine Harris, a woman how may be both evil and crazy. She is also the woman who certifed the ballot count here in the 2000 presidential elections.

I really had more faith in Bill Nelson to do what wa right. Anymore, it doesn't seem to take much to destroy that sort of faith.

The Senate Democrats caved and pass the bill "granting the President leeway to decide which other interrogation techniques are permissible."

As I wrote to my Senator (McCain, of whom I *had* been proud until he caved) normally when people argue against strict laws it's with something like, "Well, we're not going to elect bad people to the Presidency, so it's reasonable to leave it to their discrimination - surely anyone we'd elect would never be in favor or torture."

Except somehow we did and he is so I still can't fathom how that seemed like a sane thing to do.

Wow. Do you know where I can find a list of people for voted for this? If Boxer or Fienstein voted for this, I won't be a happy girl...
