For those that finally make it in here to post, here's something new to talk about. I'll start out with my online pet peeve.

Don't you hate it when you go to check your email and aside from all the junk mail you get, there's about 10 messages telling you what the virus of the day is and another 10 telling you to pass this message on for good luck mixed in with about 5 more containing stupid cartoons or bad jokes? Some people (sometimes including family members)just incessantly bomb email with stuff like that. Don't you just want to multiply that by 10 and stuff it back up their modem?

I hope nobody here is like that. If so, all I can say is that I'm glad my email is unknown. huh huh

That's my pet peeve.

Yeah, Gu.

I have an emergency situation here. SO I have to use my Yahoo email address.

Quite simply, I sent out a blanket email begging people not to clutter my email with jokes and such shit.

I got a fast response... WITH a JOKE included.

How stupid are folks, one must wonder? I email gawwd and his uncle that my mom is in ICU, and that life ain't funny.

"Oh but THIS will cheer you up"...

JESUS!

My pet peeve right now:

One side of my family consists of liberal democrats...

The other side...Right-wing Republicans...

I realize I am using stereotypes here but let me tell ya...The shoe fits and they are proud of the labels.

I get atleast 50 e-mails a day with their "viewpoints" and "articles" to back them up.

My family is convinced my husband has turned me into a Republican and my husbands family is convinced I have turned him into a Democrat...So, they feel it's their "duty" to continue with the rhetoric so we'll see the errors of our ways.

This election stopped being amusing to me about Day #23.

Thanks for letting me vent.

P.S...I really think I ought to pay Guru & Miss Libra to make mince-meat out of both sides! :)

I guess I'm luckier than I realized. My family rarely uses their e-mail (we live close enough to call eachother for free). I get very little of the crap Guru mentioned.
Normally, since I don't have anything to add, I wouldn't have posted here. But it's just so stinkin' lonely around here lately! Hurry Neil, I need my friends back!

Well.... glad to see we're all still here or trying anyway. I have two teenage daughters who need to forward their "or no love" emails somewhere. I spend a lot of time deleting before I even read it or open it.

I miss everyone. But been spending a lot of time singing along to my napster library. Checking out the reality run type thing in New York. No live camera to follow though. It's still fun to check out a couple of times a day.

What's peevin' me is never having enough time and having neighbours that need to sleep.

"or no love" e-mails?? Is that a song? Maybe me and the whining weasels could make a song out of it?

Juju Your name backwards in god gib 2 u juj.

...Trippy

It's really nice to have you seem to be settled in and no longer jumping trains and losing your laptop.

I once thought of gathering all your posts and titling it The Teasing Travels of Juju2bigdog.

Your Pop-in-for-a-visit/dive-under-again posts were fun.

Why do you travel so much? Or were you on a tour? Or touring with your band? Got a bus?
Are you coming to my town soon?

Or-no-love emails are the ones that say if you don't send this to 10 people your lover will be killed in a violent accident or at the least you will not get any hugs or maybe badluck.

To receive 100 dollars in the mail tomorrow send this post to 25 others DO IT NOW

Oh. Very interesting.



I guess I better post a pet peeve or Guru will get peeved - bad phone connections that only let me stay online 60 seconds before kicking me off.

Thanks Ju!!

My main one is SPAM. Both email and on the phone. You know, those *ssholes that call at 10:30 PM to sell you carpet cleaning services?

pfffft

Board pet peeves--8 political threads when 1 will do (maybe 2 at the most), and people who start threads and also make the second (or second and third) posts on that thread.

In real life, dishonesty and apathy.

Spouses and children who actually bring their dirty dishes to the kitchen but can't make it to the dishwasher. I know , I know, I need to get a life. But it's two weeks before Christmas, I haven't been able to get to the board, and I'm cranky.

Dig hope things have improved with your mom. Sending good thoughts your way.

Thanks, Wink. All good thoughts appreciated and needed!

New pet peeve: limited handicapped parking in hospital garages, and *ssholes who park there with no handicapped plates. Doesn't THAT just suck?

I'm with Lance on the political threads, BTW.

Digi--agreed on the handicapped parking spots. Need to put a target on those cars and set phasers to "slaughter" or load photon torpedoes...whichever works best.

I'll add folks in grocery store lines who wait till after their 100.00 order is done being rung through before they write their check and attempt to balance their check book while they are at it. You'd think they could have done that in the 10-15 minutes they had to wait.

Lance, I'm only guilty of starting one political thread. My emotions got the better of me, or was it my hormones, it could of been PMS. LOL

Oh yea, I forgot my pet peeve that would be cramps ! LOL And getting email from those Hot Babes sites, which would fall under spam. You know I have never gotten any for Hot Hunks, and I don't think that's fair !
