    I hate conference calls with a WebEx included. We are in the process of completing our quarterly business reviews with all of our large vendors and they are so boring! Plus it never fails that somebody forgets to mute their line and disrupts the call or the presenter isn't speaking loud enough for all to hear.

    Just a pain in the ***!

    I am so irritated with the building owner at work. Work in a doctors office. Yes, there are germs. But, he bought an ionizer that was supposed to just be turned on when we left. But, because he is cheap our roof has been leaking for over a year. Well, it leaked more than the usual spot and soaked the carpet (happened last year, too). Well, now all I can smell is the mold/wet wood/wet carpet. It is nasty. So he has the ionizer running full board. I cannot stand the smell of that either. Feels like my head is being crushed. So I shut that off today - but the over powering smell of wet whatever is taking over. If he wasn't so darn cheap and FIXED the issue, it wouldn't be this bad!!!!

    I saw something today that caused me to revive this thread. Any parent who buys and uses a leash for their kid. If you can't keep track of your kid or if it simply too much effort don'[t reproduce.

    People talking on their cell phones while driving. What is so important that it can't wait until you get home at night?

    I have yet to see a child on a leash. I suppose it might be a parent's solution to a child who keeps wandering off. I don't keep our daughters on a leash, but we do have a system/rule. Michelle (will be 5 next month) holds on to my skirt with one hand and then holds on to Miriam (7) with the other hand. We proceed that way wherever we are. They can let go if we are, for example, grocery shopping and they are picking out fruits and vegetables. We go grocery shopping every 2-3 days because we eat a lot of fruits and vegies and they have learned to pick them out. They are now learning the various kinds of meat and seafood.

    They are not on a leash, but they stay attached to me no matter where we go. If we go to a park to a playground, they stay within sight of me and return to me regularly to "check in." They are permitted to go off with other kids in the neighborhood but are under strict orders to immediately return home if the other kids go home or go somewhere they are not allowed to go. I've been told I'm too strict. I don't care. They respect and obey my husband and me just as I respect and obey their father.

    Walking in the French quarter in New Orleans two different kids. They were not home made so somebody is selling them. Who thinks walking a kid like a dog is a good idea.

    I too do not agree with them.

    I guess I have no problem with it. It's a safety thing, some kids just have the tendency to run. Can catch the parent off guard.

    Getting jobs lined up so I can keep working. Be surprised how many times you here from people that they just go down the line in the phone book and whoever picks up first gets it.

    Having a package shipped to your house using your physical street address ( which they need ) only to have UPS or FedEx send it through the US Postal Service. The USPS returns the package back to sender because of no PO Box number. There are only 60 some people in my town... geeze you wouldn't think it is too hard to figure it out and not return my damn package to sender !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cabelas and other companies needs to allow you the option of putting both the physical address and box number. Now I have to wait another week and a half to get it after I made a call to Cabelas. They were very helpful and I do appreciate that.

    I don't know if I have posted this here before but this is one that bothers me greatly. I HATE when the neighbors pull up the wrong direction so they can get their mail from the seat of their car. This isn't the old days in the country when you had a long @$$ driveway. Your F N driveway is only 60 feet. Get your @$$ out and walk and get it.

    This one has started to erk me recently. I made the move to 80lb limbs this year on my Obsession Evolution, and whenever it comes up people scoff and proceed with "You dont need to pull that much!" as they then tell me "Im only pulling 70lb, never had an issue." sigh...yes. I am well aware of the capabilities of a bow and the power generated by them.

    If you want to get technical, you dont NEED 70lbs, plenty of big game animals have been, and will continue to be, killed with 50lb setups. I can comfortably pull 80lbs, without any more effort than pulling my 70lb bows from the past....i simple WANT to shoot that heavy of a limb. I like shooting heavy arrow and big mechanicals....therefore the more @$$ i have slingin the telephone poles i call arrows, the better. Just because you cant/wont/dont want to pull that much doesnt make you the end all be all of what is considered "enough." rant over haha.
