center point energy. they have announced that since the hurricane is preventing them from reading meters, they will charge whatever they read last year at this time. and if they over-charge they will refund you - at some later date. luckily we don't have them.

haha.

No kidding! I guess it's because most people haven't had to fight for their lives. Or even been in a fight.

This brings me to an idea...a website,,blog,,dedicated to the art of finger flippin..Yes,, Pictures of folks flippin the bird in all candor..No,, not studio shots,,not staged shots,, but pics of honest to goodness earnest one finger salutes...and maybe a weekly award bestowed on the bestus , most heart felt,,demonstration of.

.Contributions solicited from around the world!.Just get in traffic, start flippin other drivers off and have your camera ready!.Something tells me this has already been done,,but if not, there it is,,free for any ones taking. I'm too lazy, i basically don't give a *@#%.

i don't understand why they don't use the speakerphone function thingy. cops can't see u on the phone - we have a ordinance here that says the cops can stop u for being on the phone in town, thank god there is only one cop in town - they can only see u talking to yourself... and i don't understand how to text with two hands, much less one... it took me over two minutes - we counted - to text "ok we b there n a lil while ily bye"

and also, ppl who get really, really, really drunk and start texting - it's the drunk calling of the cellphone era... they think they're texting legibly (!) when they're really just pressing the same keys over and over again trying to text dirty...

and again, ppl who act like they like you and teach u how to operate the blocker and the edger and how to tint lenses and other stuff until they see that u can do a job better than them and then they refuse to teach u anything else, ever, no matter how much u need them to and how much u beg them... grr

oh, and childproofed bottles, but only when im really, really sick and shaking and dying of plague... that's more a thing that just ticks me off... oh well... they make blow-guns for a reason...

You think balon!s incident was bad check this out: I was getting on the freeway once and was almost run off the road by a tiny lady of Asian decent in a T-Bird who was putting on her makeup and could barely see over the dash. When she saw me she actually speed up and started to veer into me, I think I missed the guard rail by an inch slamming on the brakes, And then, here it comes, as I was looking at her drive away she flipped me off! 8O 8O 8O

Oh now that made me nostalgic. The first time CovJr laid eyes on Lucimay in the flesh she was flipping off someone. Good times. :(
