Things that annoy me

August heat without rain:grumpy:

Welcome to Texas! :laughing:

Running outta beer and being too lazy to drive to town to get more

 

[farmgirl19]

If ya have less than 4 cases of beer in the house, you are running too low. As a co-worker always says, "I'm not worried about running out of oxygen, that woul dbe a quick death, but running out of beer, that's another story!" I've taken to saying that too! :laughing:

I've had this happen to me a couple of times, usually in Government Offices.

CASH NOT ACCEPTED.

In this case, Visa was not accepted either.
And I typically don't carry check blanks with me.
And, of course, I was 100 miles from home

Point to the words under the seal. Tell em your only going to present payment on this bill once and this is the time. Get their refusal in writing and signed.

I was wondering about that myself. How can anyone, government especially refuse legal tender?

I was wondering about that myself. How can anyone, government especially refuse legal tender?

The first time I encountered the issue was in St. Louis. I'm trying to remember which office it was in, but I assume they just did not trust their employees, or perhaps a risk of theft of daily transactions.

This latest time.

I went to Office A.
They told me that I had to file the paperwork at Office B (about 5 miles away).
Then, in Office B, they said they needed a check so that they could send the check with the paperwork back to Office A.

Our esteemed (in their minds) government.

Common English usage misconceptions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Misconception: Infinitives must not be split. "There is no such rule" ...

I stand corrected. Educated, actually. So now I don't have to remember to not do it.

poison ivy

(You boys are rarely happy! :laughing: )

 

[robbyr]

Farmgirl, Try this. The one on the left helps if ya use it ASAP after getting in the poison oak/ivy. The one on the right helps the itch to not be so annoying if ya get enuff in your system.

 

[farmgirl19]

Thanks, hon! Too late for the Technu. i didn't even kmow I was near any poison ivy, until I broke out with it. Yes, I've been doing antihistamines and booze! With poisin ivy, one just can't scratch enough!

 

[murphy1244]

I get that stuff three times a summer.

 

[farmgirl19]

I used to, but it has been 3 or 4 years since my last "fun" with it.
