Welp, given the degraded spelling, looks like you left a deposit of BRAINS for me to add to the next pizza so I guess we're even.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
My supervisor is angry at me for stating that I thought that it was rude to shut down the streets in the town I work in for 2 days in a row two weekends in a row. Apparently I was insulting Catholics... I would think the athiests or muslims or anyone else was rude for doing that too. Heck I get annoyed when accidents do it, and they don't take that long... WTF turned that into a freakin religious statement? It is annoying and inconvienient for bloody everyone involved... not just me, so go be broody and pissy elsewhere, I am the person gonna be stuck here at work for 3 extra friggin hours, not you...http://catcrowsnow.blogspot.com/

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
I bought a three hundred dollar chair in january, and I've already broken it. It keeps happening, I don't know if I'm buying crappy chairs or just sitting in them wrong.Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.Comment

This is the sort of thing that reminds me I'm lower-middle class...it would never occur to me to pay 300 bucks for a chair, let alone 1500.Originally posted by ChainLightning View PostChildren love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure.
