Steppenwolf isn't in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  How can this be?

   Diamonds.  The biggest scam on earth.  It's suggested that a man should spend at least two to three months' salary on an engagement ring.  Who  the heck invented that rule?  One guess.
     A young couple just starting out has much better uses for such money like saving for a downpayment on a house, buying a new car, etc.  Instead we've somehow been convinced that it's normal and expected to fork over two to three months salary to some shyster for a tiny piece of shiny coal. 
    Think your piece of coal has any real value?  You can't eat it, drive it, live in it, wear it, etc.  Say you just spent ten grand on a ring for your sweetie.  As soon as you leave the jewlery store try to sell it.  You'll be lucky to get one tenth of what you just paid for it.   
    What a racket!!

I missed the sweatshirted husky.  That's pretty funny.  In general I think putting clothes on animals is kinda stupid.  Maybe if someone has a little pet with thin fur, and it shivers like heck when going outside, then sure.  But as a fashion statement, I don't really get it.


I was a night owl for a long time.  I've slowly shifted toward mornings because my cat doesn't like sleeping in (ironically), and doesn't like me doing it either.  So when she wakes me up, I get going pretty quick.  And snoozing an alarm clock really doesn't work because she knows what that sound means.  It's time to start yelling and clawing that guy until he gets up!  Grin


I'm not against coats for all dogs, just Huskies and such.  Benji the Little Turd tries to be tough and hang with the Huskies but he's just not built for the cold.  He has four or five coats.

    Stupid, inane songs.  Most people probably just block them out.  Some even like them.  For some reason such mindless noise irks my soul. 
   What an idiotic song:

    People who spend their entire dog walk blabbing on their cell  phones.  They do get kudos for getting off their couch and walking their dog but by being on their cell phone the whole time they've completely removed themselves from the situation.  They are oblivious to the beauty of nature around them, to their dog(s) and how it interacts with everything around them, to other walkers and their dogs, to their neighbors if they're walking in the hood, etc.  They are in Cell Phone Land and might as well not even be there. 
     I bring my cell phone when I walk my dogs but only for emergencies or if I come across a great photo op.  Otherwise it stays in my pocket and I give my full attention to the dog and the walk.

My 2nd job is working part time at a liquor store.  The two things that bother me the most are people that assume it's ok to bring pets into a store and those that are too busy to put down their phone to check out.  A close third would be drive-thru customers that pull in three minutes before closing.

Another is people using the suicide lane as a merging lane because they won't wait another 20 seconds for all lanes to clear.

Jennifer Coolidge commercials.  They're everywhere at least in America.  They're supposed to be funny.  They're not.  They're asinine. Most people probably just block them out.  Really stupid commercials bother me.
