    That's bare only because I removed the breaker to check it.

    It's my kid's breaker panel at their house.

    I hate how people get offended when you ask them who dresses them in the morning.

    I hate that I dropped of two SFR USPS boxes to ship last Wednesday and they just got picked up this week.

    I hate snow!
    And stupid people who can't drive in snow, but insist on driving in it.
    And the morons who think their little 3,000 lb POS is any match for a plow truck, that they think that the plow truck should move out of their way.

    When scumbags get you card numbers and go on a shopping spree.

    I am still fighting Synchrony Bank about my Sam's Club MC. They refuse to send me a clean statement and expect me to pay on bogus charges. I have recorded every conversation with them and am waiting to be dragged into court. They are the most arrogant could care less bank I have ever dealt with. So, if that has happened to you, be prepared.

    Jd got mine back quick this time around.

    Now I’m fighting the city’s insurance company to fix my truck. Think I going to have to lawyer up on this one.

    I hate AT&T.
    I made the mistake of switching.
    They said they would pay $650 per line to pay off phones. 
    I found out after getting all hooked up, we send in the old phones, they evaluate them and pay Verizon what they think they are worth. 
    I still owe Verizon $800.

    Perfect.

    And their service sucks. 
    I'm not talking minor cell coverage problems, I'm talking I can't stand on my front porch and make a call.
    I had to buy a booster to hook up in the house, just to be able to make any calls or send and recieve texts.

    We found out we can make calls over the WiFi, so that helps.

    So now we either go back to Verizon or we found out T-mobile uses Verizon's towers and they are working up a proposal in writing for us and if I like it, we switch to them.

    As entertaining as that sounds, it's the wife who's down sick with it, and she drinks no alcohol, can't take hot sauce at all, and when I told her to buy some fruit on her last sojourn to holy Walmart, she came back with 1, (yes, one) orange and a sack full of lemons.  

    It's wearing her out.  (the flu)

    She's wearing me out.

    Back spasms and sciatica all in full blown gory glory, I'm using a cane to get around the house today, and taking the meds that I usually try to avoid for the back pain.

    Sigh  :( 

    This, too, shall pass.

    i sympathize, my friend. But, every day I re-learn the adage, “Old age isn’t for sissies”. That could be modified to “REALLY isn’t for sissies.....”.   :#

    @Amos_Umwhat 

    I get yelled at if someone sees me without my cane. Seems they are tired of picking me up (which takes 3 of them). Oranges and D3 and B12 seem to help a lot when a cold or the like hits on me. For some reason the oranges (Halos) seem to give me an energy boost. Became dehydrated with the last cold/flu and my wife got me a really big bottle of Tropicana and it worked wonders, did not drink it gently.

    @jlmarta

    I wonder if the "young" of today have any idea how much worse their "old age" will be affected by the cr@p they are injesting today. My vice was my mom's blackberry cobbler.

    Who knows what the long term effects of eating laundry soap will be? Nobody was stupid enough to eat it until now

    I beg to differ, I've heard many a tale of doing laundry on a washboard with a bar of soap andand mak your kids stand with a bar of soap in their mouth when they misbehaved.

    I have heard of this also, however, first hand experience tells me that i did not bite or swallow and spit profusely the first chance i had.

    Once you learned to hold the bar of soap in your teeth and not let your tongue and lips touch it, it wasn't terrible. LOL!
    Except when one of your little brothers popped you in the jaw and made you bite down on it.

    hackers. Just got off the phone with my cc fraud prevention folks. Last transaction by me was with a cigar etailer (not ccom). Won't say which one 'cause I don't know if that was the source of the problem for sure. This is the third tobacco-store-related (maybe) security breach, they seem to be especially targeted by hackers.

    I don’t like people that go half the posted speed limit. I can’t stand people that go half the speed limit on the way home from work. I FN hate that crap on the way home from work on Friday and I got the weekend off.

    Hallalugah, brother Nick! Can I get an amen? I'm typically the most easy goin guy around, but when I get behind people who can't drive my anger level goes to 110%. Was late for work today because some guy decided he wanted to do 35 on a two lane rated 55, and I left 10 minutes early because I know how they drive around here on weekends.

    This is everyday. I have a good drive to get to to work. Hour and 20 minutes. The drivers get worse the closer I get into town. The locals get mad cause I call it Mocksville Syndrome; after the town I work in.

    I have to be careful who I tailgate in my line of work. If it's any of the regular customers they recognize the car and I get to hear about it later - one of the cons associated with living in Mayberry Valley. Had a customer come in mad yesterday because I didn't wave at them...then they asked me what I was doing 20 miles away from work...uhmmm I live over there. What were YOU doing?

    New research shows that if we all kept an equal distance between the cars in front of and behind us -- an approach described as "bilateral control" -- we would all get where we're going almost twice as quickly.
