Pet Peeves

[notabitail]

I keep trying to watch these new shows on the streaming apps, and my goodness... either people can't act, or writers can't write. It's like everything was written by aliens that have no idea how humans interact. Totally breaks immersion.

One example: some middle-aged, beer guzzling, park ranger will not speak like he's a Gilmore girl. Give me a break.

The Studio C new cast episodes aren't as funny. A good chunk are super awkward to watch.

My egg/chick/rooster/pullet selling business is advertised by word of mouth, which, by default, means that it is mostly through church.
One of my absolute worst pet peeves, is when I unload the cage to set in a shady spot, and someone walks up, looks in the cage, and says, “Wow, is that a chicken?”
It makes me want to drop everything in my hands, look at them, and say, “Nooo, it’s a feathered, two legged dog!”

A BIG pet peeve of mine is when a stranger touches your back or shoulder randomly as they pass by you in a tight area. Mainly in a cramped grocery store isles or a sitting at table in a restaurant. If I do not know you.. do not touch me!

We were at a cattle sale and Hubby was off looking at cows. An obnoxious guy kept trying to rub my back. I didn't want Hubby involved because I didn't want him to end up in jail. The next time the guy tried to rub my back I took my 3' McGrath Hot Shot off of safety and zapped him in the knee. The Hot Shot knocked his leg out from under him, I walked away with a smile on my face.

Wow, good for you!

Yes. Rib injuries are definitely some of the worst pain you will experience. All you ladies that have had children don’t all pounce at once. I said some of the worst pain.

How about a Broken Hip. The EMTs were trying to put me from the ground to the stretcher without any pain medication! They got really upset when I bit them!

Apple made a "Memory" video for me that's a compilation of all the bullying videos I took before euthanizing my sick bird. All set to this upbeat music. Part of me wants to laugh, and part of me wants to throw up.

When I was about 13, my beautiful 18-yo sister came down from her room to answer an unexpected phone call with no makeup. I about had a heart attack. I almost didn't recognize her. She had no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no eyelids, no lips. Her hair was an unruly haystack. I determined then and there to never wear makeup. I always wanted to look the same, day or night. I thought, pity the poor guy who took her to bed at night looking like a movie star and woke up next to her looking like Godzilla. Yikes! Nuh-uh. This is the face God gave me, take it or leave it. Besides, men don't make their faces all fake. Why should women? Crazy!

I was around 13 when I started Jr. High. The older girls would conduct makeup classes in the girls bathroom. I decided to join in the fun but always washed my face before I went home. One day I came bouncing into our kitchen and suddenly remembered I still had makeup on! My Grandmother was washing dishes, she turned around and looked at me. She handed me the soapy dishcloth and said "ONLY OLD BARNS NEEDED PAINT". That was over 65 years ago and I never used makeup again.

Good for you!!
I don’t have any sisters, my mom doesn’t wear makeup, and I was homeschooled til college so I never learned to use makeup. I am very glad for the very reason you stated. Sometimes I feel like only the makeup-plastered, mini-skirt-wearing girls get all the attention, but I know that I could never be like that, let alone be happy like that. I would rather be at peace with myself than popular, and I am lucky that it’s an easy choice for me.

Samsung put my dead chicken as a memory once.
