Pet Peeves

I'm sorry, Hubby said no. We have these things:

I understand…..the babies are starting to fledge
I had a newbie out this morning that was soooo sweet! Took me a little time to figure out which nest to put it back into because it wasn’t attempting to fly yet and had a small peck spot on its head already (probably from the pheasant chicks I just put on the ground)

Yeah, nice to hang out inside with the AC! I've been to FL twice, spring and autumn. No way you'd catch me down there in the summer.

Is this your 2nd indiana summer or 3rd? This one is shaping up to be more typical whereas the last couple have been extremely mild
Get ready to sweat!!!

Second. First summer was fine. We had a few weeks there where it was very hot and humid but overall I thought it was not so bad compared to Virginia.
We already have our sprinkler set up so we'll be ready when the heat comes

Classes should also include driving a standard - learn to shift gears. I realize that most people may never want to own a standard vehicle but it is a good idea, IMO, to know how to drive a standard in case of an emergency.

All my kids have learned to drive in my '66 bug.

Mr muddy is already saying he’s not leaving the pool and a/c until fall

I wholeheartedly agree. (On the other it can serve as a millennial anti theft device.)

Any of you seen the videos of Ukrainians making off with Russian military vehicles?

Exactly! I always said every Driver's Ed class Should include driving a big rig & a truck towing a trailer, even mopeds to get the feeling of what it's like not having the protective cab, so Everyone can realize what's involved with driving, maneuvering, parking & stopping larger vehicles, heavier loads & defensive driving practices. Once a person experiences that, the light bulb in the brain clicks & a new-found respect & hopefully compassion develops. I believe there would be less subcompact cars zipping around & stopping suddenly in front of big rigs, & these idiot road designers would realize, ya gotta have some additional room for larger loads.

Guess it weeds out the dumbasses.. it's only common sense..something that large cannot slow down going down a hill.. that's actually in driving manuals you take to get your license but most kids don't read them. If your gonna be stupid get in front of one and slow down...serves your ass right to get run over! If a semi gets in the fast lane to pass me..I don't speed up. I slow down and let them pass. Not to mention the idiots that don't use indicators when they are in front of one. Pet peeve for me parents who let their children play in the road?? You are responsible for your child if it gets run over you should be charged not the driver.. my hubby was driving on a back road..it was a blind curve ( he was with his mom and sister) something told him to slow down, if he hadn't he would of hit a toddler and a five year old trying to get her brother off the road. The white trash mother was yacking on her cell phone. My husband said some choice words from what I hear. Some people expect other people to watch there children. It is the road people. Rant done..

Pet peeves/vent: don't sit there and tell me all the things I'm doing wrong. It isn't constructive at that point, it really is just tearing me down. And really, I already know what I'm doing wrong, it gives me constant anxiety to the point the Dr just prescribed Prozac. Is my house spotless? No... Is my kitchen cluttered? Yes, do I have dishes piled in the sink? No, so I have toys all over the floor? No. So I have things everywhere? No. Like yes it's a bit untidy but many people would just call it lived in, not messy. I know it isn't where I want it to be and is a little out of hand right now, but damn. And apparently I shouldn't have gotten chickens before the coop was built and that was just crazy irresponsible for me and so. Much. More. You know I should make my kids? Idk I should get them busy on something instead of just letting them entertain themselves while I work on the coop, and I should force my daughter to come out and help because she was in watching TV, and I should take time off of work to work on everything but work is super busy/overwhelming right now so taking time off isn't going to make that better. And and and. I'm over it right now. Sorry to dump on internet strangers, I've just had my limit.

Sounds like you had a run in with the in-laws.. I hear you loud and clear! I know exactly what you are saying.
