What annoys me is all the political memes on FB.

As if we don't have ENOUGH political ads.

I share HWW's annoyance! :-(

Cramer, have you heard of "Let Me Google That For You?"

I hadn't, but I googled it. Good idea, but it still might not enlighten some people.

I think it's more of a snarky tension release, but a good one. Hard to fix stupid but lazy people might get the point.

When did the majority of people forget the basics of driving. I mean, seriously. People drive like they are the only person on the road.

I don't know what this says about me, but I was sure this was going to end with Quislet saying that his Facebook friend was confusing "Kettle" with "Kegel."

If i am an offender, i can block you on those posts. I do it for others, and it is quite easy to add you, too.

I find your posts more humorous than political, Kent, though politics are certainly involved.

There are certain others that are just mean spirited. As much as I agree with the left side of things, demonizing the right, Romney, and the Tea Party serves little purpose other than perpetuating the narrow-minded and self-serving antagonism that already exists. Portraying others as ignorant, buffoonish, and corrupt does little to address the very real differences in world views and fears people have and which lead them to vote as they do. Such attacks, in short, preach to the converted.

So, you don't need to block me, but thanks for the offer. Chances are, the true offenders would never see themselves as such.

I find it annoying that some of my friends will call me up on a Tuesday to invite me out on a Wednesday evening. On Tuesday I tell them I may not get off work in time on Wednesday, so I can't commit.

On Wednesday I keep them informed of my schedule and advise them it might be best not to wait for me, but they insist on waiting. And when the evening rolls around, and I'm still tied up at work, they call the meeting off - AND they get mad at me! I warned them, didn't I?

I haven't been to the comic store in three weeks.

My store only keeps them on the shelf for three weeks. I must go tonight.

Too much work during the week. too much going out of town on the weekends.

PB, doesn't your comic book shop have a pull list for the regular customers?

yes. It does. I do not use it ... I like to browse the racks, for fun, seems more romantic than just picking up a package. also I like to drop or add comics due to any tantrums I might spontaneously have (usually resulting from guest pencillers.)

I may have to start using a pull though as I'm getting busier.

My dog rolled in otter poo this morning. It's not as bad as skunk, but it's pretty bad, even after a good rinse. And of course she wants to get all chummy now and sit in my lap and spread the joy.

Having a pull list doesn't mean you can't still browse the racks. Even if I buy a title not on my list, I still get the pull list discount. Plus my shop always asks if I want to add or drop any titles when I go to pick them up.

I imagine that if you don't do the "I don't want to buy this particular issue" move too often, then the CB shop shouldn't have a problem with it.

I've found that most shops are good to their pul list customers because they know that those customers will buy on a repeat basis.

Our dog does that a lot too, FC. He also pooped on two of my backpacks the other day. Ugh!

The most I have done lately was post a single story on fanfiction.net that wasn't DC related, and try to spread word on a kickstarter project.

When I'm not at work I'm sleeping all day and doing absolutely nothing on the internet.

I'm stuck in another rut and I don't know how to get out. God I can't wait for another convention.

Spent a lot of time at the drawing table tonight, with only minor time out for chores, but... I'm going through one of those patches where nothing will jell the way I want it to.

[grumble]

I need to get out of this hyper-critical frame of mind I've been in now for, oh, over a bloody YEAR and just finish something already.

*sends some good vibes cleome's way as encouragement*

Attagirl, cleome! Knock em dead!

cleome, get out the crayons and draw on the walls. ;-)

I just don't understand my roommate's thought processes at times.

He likes the blinds down so that the neighbors can't see into the apartment.

In the summer, I have the windows open, including the one in the bathroom. The window is right over the tub/shower, so I pull the shower curtain for the window aside to let the air in, but pull the other shower curtain half way across to block the view of the toilet. Yet my roommate, who is afraid of anyone looking into the apartment, pulls that shower curtain back so that both are open and the neighbors on that side have a clear view into the bathroom.
