    Some relatives. Like my brother said "You can pick you nose, but you can't pick your relative."

    You can pick your relatives' noses. Afterwards odds are in your favor that you won't have to deal with that relative anymore.

    Amen brutha. In New Orleans we get a gallon of daiquiris and pour in smoothie king cups so we can deal with shoppers

    Employees that go to work sick. WTF Our employer give us 96hrs of sick leave and (depending on years worked) 5 weeks of vacation time per year but employees still come to work sick.

    I agree with ya... I would love 4 seasons. We have hot, hotter,to damn hot, and it's ok for a month
    That's what I love about NC, we do get four seasons, but we don't get whacked in winter.  Being from upstate NY, I don't miss shoveling 10 inches of snow every few days,

    I do miss snow on Christmas, but I do like putting up the outside decorations while wearing a short sleeved shirt!

    There are no numbers above freezing in my 10 day forecast. There's even some numbers with this weird little - symbol in front of them. Yuck!

    When I start getting sick I just stop being sick and start being awesome instead. True story.

    Possible test runs my friends agree to that never happen. It's like saying this 100 year old scotch is great but I just drank it.

    This wouldn't be a Vegas Santiago reference, would it? How is Kemper doing? All OK?

    Don't think anyone's heard from him. I wasn't in on that thing was too new to even have it spark an interest and he disappeared right after.

    I hate plumbing jobs--just finished rooting out the storm/sump pump drain, the reamer got stuck at one of the junctions and I had a heck of a time retrieving it, going to have to dig about 20' up to get to the joint. The fool that installed it used perforated pipe and tree roots move right in every year.Our water table is so high the sump pump runs about every 30 seconds during wet seasons or the cellar floods with a couple of feet of water. (the cellar was a bad idea as it turns out). Going to reward myself for a half-finished job with a good stogie later today. Feeling a bit aggravated.

    Man, I hear ya. I was on a construction job in Delaware in the early 80's and we leased a house that (unknown to us) had been built in a subdivision on land that was reclaimed swamp. The basement walls were concrete block and they seeped constantly into a French drain. 

    And, stupidly, the family room had been built in the basement - complete with a fireplace. Mighta been nice if the humidity wasnt so bad down there. We had a dehumidifier with a quart jar to capture the moisture and the jar had to be emptied about every hour or so if you were down there trying to watch TV or something.....

    The postal service.

    I ordered some cigars and they came Surepost. On the day they were supposed to arrive UPS dropped them off at the wrong PO 2 miles away. So I went to the PO, and was informed that the pallets had not been sorted, so I could not pick it up. The next day they ship it to the correct PO (2 miles away) on the last truck, so I still can't get it. The weekend happens and Monday I go in before they ship to pick them up in person. I am informed that they are still in a mixed pallet, but they will place them on hold. I can pick them up in an hour. I come back in an hour to "Oops, we put them on the truck.) So 6 hours later, my mail finally delivers, and the box isn't in there. My delivery is after the PO closes, so I can't even yell at them until tomorrow, when I have to take time from work just to ****.

    Man, that just sucks. I've learned, though, that behavior such as that isn't a constant. You'll find post offices that are well run and some that are run by total ignorami (that's plural for ignoramus

    postal condolences. Could be worse, I spent the day digging a trench full of large roots for the sump pump drain.

    Update: The package has been delivered. Granted, it's to a different town, but at least it got delivered right?
