I can't stand it when someone thoughtfully starts a thread, and the next thing you know, people are talking about what a cool car they had or have or baby pictures or getting their gall bladder out or wearing underwear. What's wrong with you people!!!
Okay, here I go, though it'll probably ruin my chances for attending the reunion:
Not having the right tool when I've taken something halfway apart
It's corollary -- running out of something in the midst of using it
Budweiser
rap
country western music
computer problems
lying awake at 1:00 in the morning
people glancing at their Blackberry's while talking with me
lukewarm coffee
hair (mine) in the sink
stepping on a slug
cottage cheese mixed with Jello -- it ruins both
guys wearing baseball caps backwards
political coworkers
I was going to write one to Bill Clinton from Monica, but feared where it would go.
I'm guessing the country western music is the one you didn't want out of the bag, as evidenced by the 3 CD's full of 60's music you sent for us to use at the reunion. Think we can get it loud enough to drown out the live band? BTW, I love country western music, as well as several other kinds.
Lukewarm coffee also drives me nuts. It's not hot enough if it doesn't burn the roof of my mouth.
Nice painting/drawing you did of Woody Woodpecker.
You know what you get when you cross country and western with rap, don't you?
Crap!
You get crap.
So Larry, although I like the original Hank Williams music, as my mom played it all the time in the 50s and 60s, I do not care for current country music and I definitely will walk a mile to avoid hearing rap!
Call waiting and people put me on hold while they answer it,
People answering their cell phone while we are talking ,
noisy gum chewers,
people eating with their mouths open,
noisy crunching or slurping of foods, especially if they are behind me at the theater,
People who talk or make noise at the movies.
littering,
negative people, whiney people,
being tailgated, (I usually step on my brakes),
mattresses flying out of the back of a trailer that is in front of me on a narrow winding road,
getting the wrong hairing coloring job. (One time my colorist made my hair turn out jet black. I looked like Elvis' sister)
people who hurt animals or defenseless people,
people who think animals have no feelings,
Commuting in heavy traffic (I refuse to do it anymore, hence I live in Payson),
Being given advice when I have not asked for it,
When I give others advice when they have not asked for it. (I am working hard on that one)
When my dog humps my cat,
getting slivers,
stubbing my toe,
biting my tongue (in both senses),
runs in my nylons (Hence, I try not to wear them),
lies,
the corporate world,
money being the motivation.
When the thread gets all messed up on my sewing machine,
the bobbon running out of thread and having to rewind,
being disappointed (I try to prevent that by not having expectations)
cow tongue sandwiches.
Gail, I know of a counseling service you can send your dog to. And one to send your cat to if the one your dog's going to doesn't work. And this is happening in Payson? Whoa!
The band is one thru Rustler's Rooste. I believe they could have a different one every night. I know they have a live band 7 nights of the week beginning at 6:00 P.M. Because it's a western kind of place, I would imagine it plays western music. The night we did our meeting there, there were 3 guys in cowboy hats playing. The good news is, we don't pay a dime for it. Those who want to dance can go inside and do so. We are outside on the patio where they've said we can pop in our own ipod music (thanks Larry) if we want, just as background. Not sure how the logistics will work with 2 sounds, but we'll find out. It may just be more desirable to listen to theirs in the background so we can comfortably talk to one another.
We are also having our own bar set up outside. Worst case? Those who don't like the music can start drinking early and you won't care.
Gail,
That was a hell of a list, maybe your should get a massage yourself!
I've heard Delamater has the best in the west. Go for it!
Tommy W (not to be confused with Tommy S.)
Cow tongue sandwiches? Now there's something really disgusting. My mom tried to serve us cow tongue one time. Our family ate liver, pickled pigs' feet, pork rinds, head cheese, chicken giblets, but we drew the line at tongue.
Nice list, though, Gail. I like it! You can add tailgating to mine, as well. It's the national pasttime in Cincinnati. I've spent hours fantasizing about what I could put in the back of my pickup to surprise tailgaters with. 500 million jigawatt lights, skunk smell squirter, a paint cannon, a catapult that would launch cow patties, a gattling gun, a 15-foot steel spike that would puncture their radiator, lasers, acid, 5-pound steel balls . . . .
I save those kinds of thoughts for (I'll insert my list here):
married men who say they're getting divorced - and don't
telephone solicitors
people who walk their pets but don't clean up after them
newly minted drivers who think city streets are a NASCAR track
cigarettes (they are at the top of my list!!!!)

Larry,
You know, the pickins' are kind of slim up here in the hills. You would be surprized at what happens up here.
After sitting in a tractor all day, thinking great thoughts with wonderful ideas, I just can't stand coming home and not being able to remember anything I thunk up all day!

Deere, John, sounds like plowing the ground, nothing like spring grass, weeds, and the smell of fresh turned earh, can't beet it, but can't stand the hems.
Cant stand not being able to gain any wieght, and having to remain the same wt as high school, unable to look mature, and wishing I could wake up in the middle of the nite. oops, its growing, gotta go
