wind

wind that blows everyone's leaves in our yard
we have no trees in our front yard but the wind likes to blow them here from left, from right, and from across street

That I can't burn the leaves in my backyard due to a silly city ordnance... don't they know I was a Boy Scout?!

Wives that chuck out useful things, that you only realise once you are looking for that thing to use.

No... but I still have my Boy Scouts' Handbook, laundry bag and collapsible cup.

(pet peeve: people who don't appreciate the resourcefulness of all that old stuff! )

 

[jameseb]

Spammy people on the forums with silly posts!

My pens disappearing from my desk zone.

People stealing pens.

 

[LaSorcia]

Cheaply made toys that break within 30 minutes and make children cry.

...i apologize....i've been known to keep the pens that i've used or borrowed, as if they're "glued" to my hand....i honestly forget i have them (it's because i'm always writing and a pen is sorta' like an "appendage" for me, and i'm oblivious that i have just walked off with someone's pen...

i DO, however, once i realize that i've "done it again", take them back with an apology AND choc'late or a funny card AND an invitation for them to yell at me if they see me doing so again....



Pens that stop writing Ugh!

 

[brinny]

I forgive you, brinny! Thanks for the choc'late!

LOL! You're welcome, and thank you.

Big Tech monopolization of and "taking over" smaller internet service providers and swallowing them up and running them out of business....

When a profound and timely message is given by a minister or pastor and the audience/congregation "claps" as if they were just "entertained" or watched a "good show". In this message in particular i'm referring to, the speaker was going to close in prayer, but the audience/congregation applauded, drowning out what the speaker repeated about closing in prayer, several times.

 

[jameseb]

When the trash can is obviously full yet people keep stuffing it so that garbage spills out in the bin...

What? That is horrible. I hate services that degenate into cheap entertainment instead of being a chance to commune with God. That is why I tend towards older, stuffier churches. You know, more stately affairs. My minister always incorporates 5 minutes of silent prayer into his services, likely to the annoyance of many - especially as he also keeps the children present for it, which can be trying. I like it myself, though I have small children as well.

i agree...i begin wondering, didn't they even HEAR his message? This message in particular was about the depravity of the concentration/death camps, and also how that evil ties in to our OWN need for a "new heart" from God. It was a sobering message, and prompting us to prayer and examining our own hearts.

What i found out after listening, is "whose" church it was. Then i understood. Then i prayed for the pastor of the church and the congregation.

When it snows reeeeeally lightly overnight and there's just a smidgen of it on trees, bushes, and grass.....

I want to pick my seat once I see who's inside!
