My personal belief is that they're trying to make money since the city, county and state have been in a budget crisis. We've got traffic cameras everywhere - they should just start mailing people traffic tickets instead of making people deal with the puffed-up police officers. But they probably need to justify their budgets for LEOs, too.The forum member formerly known as perzephone. Or Perze. I've shed a skin.

We don't drive gangsta cars with fancy spinning hubcaps or anything, we're not trolling hookers in Northtown, we can't speed because our little Neon starts vibrating if it hits 60mph. And it's not just me & my husband - I'm hearing more & more people complaining about getting pulled over for the most petty stuff over the past couple of years.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
I waited in line at 5am till 8am. Only to be told the doctor that sees 'new patients' is not in today. I'm not a new patient. I use that clinic often. But my main doctor is in my city. Because they demand it be so. Now they demand my doc to be there, but he's not. So now I have to try to go again tomorrow (gonna wake up at 4am in the dang morning) so I can stand in line and be first or third, like I was today. Hopefully they will see me.Satan is my spirit animal

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
It is not "uppity" or "fancy" to want natural materials in one's home. Mankind has been building with stone, wood, clay, etc., SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME. Plastic laminate, formica, etc. is RECENT. Same for organic food. Hello - that's what food is. Not hydrolyzed textured extruded artificial genetically modified irradiated powdered plasticized cancerous junk.sigpic
Can you hear me, Major Tom? I think I love you.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
My mom was talking with this lady at the cook out about how the new leader of her national social group (the elks) is going to be a woman and the host's fiance looks right at them and says "that is wrong". He doesn't think women should have positions of power and kept saying that is wrong every time they tried to convince him women can do any job men canThey moaned and squealed, and pressed their snouts to the earth. We are sorry, we are sorry.
Sorry you were caught, I said. Sorry that you thought I was weak, but you were wrong.

Re: Gas and oil commercial
Have I ranted about not having my car back? It's been in the shop for over a month. Over $10k in damage repairs. Brand new car... I've only made two payments on it and both of them were when the car was out of my personal possession. What the actual fuck! Thank gods I don't have to pay a dime for the repairs or the rental but come on!!! I want MY car back!�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!
From someone that grew up where everything was made from wood I can understand why you want real wood things. Plastic and other synthetic stuff has no soul in some ways. I do miss the feel and presence that real wood has.MAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED
all i ever wanted was a normal life and love.

Annnnndddd....my new rant for the day is I have to attend a baby shower later, which means I have to record all the big races of the day and not look at any email etc. until after I get home and watch them! (So I won't know how they turn out before I see them.) First world problems, I know. LOLsigpic
