Funny you should mention that... I never buy meat at WM.  I always buy my meat at Chief Supermarket (about 2 blocks from WM).  It's locally owned and I've been buying it there for years.  For instance:


Link.


I also buy fruit and vegetables there when I go for the meat, and any special sale items.  I stop in about once a month, then divide the meat into freezer baggies for one (moi).  I brown the ground chuck and freeze it to use for spaghetti sauce, goulash, Spanish rice, etc.  I'm not a big meat eater anyway... I prefer bigger portions of veggies with a small serving of meat.  Anyway, everything else costs more there, so it's over to Walmart I go about twice a week.

I love the household things at Target, and my friend and I use to go there all the time.  I was there about 3 weeks ago and they had Tidy Cat litter in 38 lb. pails... buy 2 @ $10.99 each and get a $5 Target gift card for free, so I did it.  Twas a good buy.

I find rude clerks everywhere.  I was just at Home Depot and had great assistance by a guy in the electrical department so I made it a point to tell the front desk that.  And from now on, screw the rude ones cause I'm telling the front desk about them too.

I don't shop at Walmart but I do at Sam's Club.  There's never anyone around to ask questions but they've instituted a "be friendly" policy which includes saying at the checkout, after they've looked at my membership card, "Did you find everything you needed Flaggie?"  Excuse me, but my membership card has my first and LAST name on it so, as I've suggested to them, at your next store meeting suggest that you folks use LAST names like "Did you find everything Ms. Flagday?"  I grew up calling people Mr., Mrs., Miss, and later Ms.  I'm frigging entitled !  In my world, until you're given permission, I don't want some 19 years old clerk calling me Flaggie.  

You can imagine how much I detest the world if I still insist on being called Ms. Flagday!!!!   

Yeah, good luck on that one Flaggie old girl.  

All sorts of strangers call me Kathryn, and it doesn't bother me at all.  They did it at Sam's (when I had a card), they do it at my bank, my doctor's office, etc.  After all, it is my name.

I was a school crossing guard for 19 years, and all the little kids called me Kitty (as do my friends and family).  I didn't want them calling me Mrs. so and so, OR Miss Kitty.  Yuck!

I'm Kathy on the internet, so I have 3 names.  

Four names if we include "Hey, You!!!!"  

What's annoying me so far today is everything,so I'd best be going. Y'all can thank me later.

Never mind, don't thank me!! Cuz if anyone talks about this post that's gonna annoy me, and then...


Aw, forget it.

There is water leaking from my light fixture and there is a big damp spot in my ceiling. -_-

Kai...you're kinda like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh...You've always got a dark rain cloud following you around!  

Said in Eeyore's mono-tone voice:  Everything's broken...and now my ceiling's damp.




Poor Kai!  

I'm annoyed at being an endomorph!

"The ENDOMORPH
The body of the extreme endomorph is round and soft . The physique presents the illusion that much of the mass
has been concentrated in the abdominal area. This may or may not be true. The arms and legs of the extreme
endomorph are short in length and taper. This may give the appearance of stalkiness. The hands and feet of the
endomorph are comparatively small, and the upper arms and thighs are often more developed than the lower parts of the arms or legs. The body has a high waist."

Kai, have you gotten that fixed yet.  I had that once and it can be bad.  I have small nightmares about that.

Peace to you, Shaotie.

OK.  So I haven't been on here in like forever, and that's annoying and I'm sorry, but I'll try to update everyone (who cares) on my blog later.   As for what is annoying me...

There's this guy I know, and he is such an a-hole.  I don't even know him very well... and maybe if I got to know him better, I would like him... but it's much more likely that I  would just hate him all the more.  

But what's annoying me about him today is the way he talks to people who he considers "cool" or girls he considers pretty.  He kisses up so extremely, that it's disgusting to be around.  

The other thing he does is act "holier-than-thou" to people who (according to him) aren't "cool"  or girls who aren't pretty.  Not only does he make snide remarks, and disparage people and ridicule anything he can about them, he also takes pride in doing so.  He's rude and obnoxious to those he considers beneath him.  

Now, I know a lot of people do these things, and it's usually one or the other, but to do both is just so intolerable, I can't handle it.  

Fortunately for me, I don't have anything to do with him.  I met him once, and couldn't STAND him.  And while it's not always right to make snap judgements, the more I hear about him, the more I think my first impression was the right one.  I have come upon multiple people who feel the same way that I do, and thus have nothing to do with him.  But there are a few people I know that have to deal with him and as he considers them beneath him, he has a tendency to make snide little sarcastic remarks to them just to aggravate and annoy.

And it annoys me I think even more than the people I know.  They just have learned to tune it out and ignore it.  But it pains me to stand by and watch people get beaten down just because they are used to it.  And in some ways it annoys me that they have become used to it.  Since when is it ok for us to get used to bullies, and jerks, etc?  

If you see someone being a jerk on numerous occasions, why don't you stand up and say, "Dude, that's not cool.  Grow up."  Or stop making excuses for them and stop being friends with them.

Where do you draw the line?  I mean, if someone was killing people, would you stand by and say, "it's just what they do."  or if they were shoplifting, would you say, "it's who she is, there's nothing you can do about it.  I guess I'll just pay more to cover the store's losses."  I mean, yeah, these examples are a bit extreme...  but where is that invisible line?  

Obviously, you won't stand by and watch mass murder...  but some people will stand by and watch spousal abuse.  Some won't.  Some will stand by and watch a bigger kid pick on a smaller kid.  

Is physical abuse different than emotional abuse?  It annoys me!

*sigh*  That's my rant.  Sorry.

He has one redeeming characteristic.  He pissed you off enough tomake you come back here.  Hi. Glad to read you.

I'd use the Jab to set up a right cross and then start working the body if he is still vertical..I am also tired of being tolerant of people like this.

Maintenance is supposed to drop by and take a look today, but I doubt they'll show. There's a huge wet spot in my wall too, and my water is running uber hot today. >_<

Kai  -- get on the maintenance people now!!!  Insist that they do something NOWWWW!!!  Use your extra special powers if you have to.

Cynda -- welcome back!!  Okay...this guy you're talking about....is it Mark?     Just kidding.  Those kind of people are disgusting and they attack people because they have low self-esteem (plus tons of other problems).  I'd be the kind of person that would tell him that his behavior is unacceptable.  I'm so confrontational sometimes!  Good luck....vent here and put on a good face for real life.  

They came! I have black mold! he closet where the water heater lives is filled ith black junk.

The people who lived above me move out a long time ago, but the idiots left their AC running the entire time so their condensation tank filled up and leaked into my apartment. Now I have  disgusting mold problem that they're going to spray with an enzyme tomorrow. >_<

this is the sort of thing that happens when bad Neighbors and nature combine..enzymes are cool though you have to admit.

Not having electric for 3 full days, courtesy of the leftovers of Hurricane Ike. Every so often we get the liquid remnants of these storms, but nothing like the winds we had Sunday night. It was like the freakin' Wizard of Oz.
No electric means no showers (no water heater or well pump) refrigerator stuff at Mom's, no tea or coffee in the morning, using my cell phone for an alarm, no Internet or TV (but that's pretty far down the list.) I had 179 e-mails waiting. I went to my sister's for a shower Monday night, but that's about 30 miles away, and about $7 in gas.
I can't wait to get my shower in the morning.
Oh, and the new job has it's warts hanging out. For real. I prolly won't last the weekend. I'm still getting unemployment, so it'll be okay. But I need to go soon, before that changes. With the huge power outage, cable went too. And those people are such babies. Calling twice a freakin' day to ask where their calbe was, and when will it be back? Don't they read a paper, or anything? are they under a rock, to not know what's going on? Well, seenms they do, but they still want their 'Springer/Desparate Housewives/Dumb and the Breastless. OMG. We fielded 11,000 calls Monday and 9233 on Tuesday. If I never hear the phrase "Yes sir, I'm sorry to hear that your service is out. You are in a known outage area, and we are aware of it and are working on it." Then after a couple of seconds, "No sir, we don't have a time frame for that." I was listening, as part of my training, and they actually called when they didn't have any power. How the f*** do they expect to get their TV to work, without electric?!?!
A**holes. For real.

I want to start a new thread and my images don't want to load.....or show ......I feel stupid!

Are you hosting the pictures somewhere, like photobucket? That's the one a lot of us here use, and I do, as well. It's free, unless you want premium service.

thanx for the suggestion....maybe I should try that.....seems I have software problems...I'll try do delete
some junk as well.
