- I have two new additions to my blogroll: 1000 Awesome Things and Stuff White People Like. Both are engaging and funny. Have a look.
- Online merchants, dig: For me a large part of the appeal is not having to talk to anybody. Consequently, it pisses me off when you call me on the telephone, particularly if you leave a message and I don’t get it right away, and my order is in limbo in the meantime. If you have questions, send email.
- Time has a web poll where you can vote on who is most responsible for the financial crisis. I was disappointed that Sarah Palin wasn’t nominated. I mean, hell, why should irrational hatred stop here?
- Speaking of, the last sane person in Washington recently introduced a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve.
- I don’t recommend products often, but I love my Black and Decker cordless powered scissors. You can use them for pretty much anything calling for regular scissors, but where they really shine is with wrapping paper and with those godforsaken blister packs.
- Turn signal bitching is about as fresh as air travel shtick, but give me one here: folks, please use them even if you’ve specifically considered a circumstance and think you don’t need them in that circumstance. “I’m in a turn lane; why do I need to signal?” Dig: you’re conveying to me that you know you’re in a turn lane. Do you see that such is useful?
- Except for the windstorm yesterday, I certainly have enjoyed the mild weather. I have two clean vehicles for the first time this year.
- K-Y Jam. Mmmmmm.

Have you ever read stuffblackpeoplehate.com? He’s no longer writing the blog, but he was very good at it. Scathing and funny.
Double Dig: Don’t use the turn signal if you aren’t turning. Just because that guy ahead of you is turning is no reason for you to indicate it FOR him.
ughh..BLISTER PACKS!!!
Thankfully, it appears I’m not the only one who hates it when an online order has to be tended to from the home phone when I get in from the office! My other peave with online ordering is that apparently, FedEx and UPS, neither one, understands that while my address says a particular city, it doesn’t mean I actually live within the city limits. That’s why there are ZIP Codes.
‘seester: Wow. I never knew about that one. I’ll have to dig into that. You’re right–it’s something.
Buzzregog: I am very occasionally guilty of what you describe, but only in a highly specific circumstance. If the person in front of me is turning, and I’m not confident that the person behind me is going to slow sufficiently (i.e. he’s following too closely, we’re slowing at a greater rate than is customary for the stretch of road, or both), then I might give him two or three flashes. However, if it’s safe, I instead try to adjust my position in the lane so he can see the person turning himself.
Charles: Uh-huh. And don’t get me started on all of those damned wire ties in toy packaging.
Scott: If I wanted to place a phone order, then I would have placed a phone order. 🙂 I am also outside any municipality, but never have a problem with FedEx or UPS, thankfully.
Didn’t you know…some vehicles sold in the state don’t come with turn signals.
LOL – I heard that one morning taking the kids to school and the traffic reporter was lamenting at the fact that some people NEVER use their turn signals. Now, it’s a running joke in our house and my kids are vigilant in reminding me about using a turn signal.
Heard from rather dense girl in college while watching a NASCAR race: “Why don’t the turn signals work on the cars?” I think she was a school teacher. That is all.
