Wouldn’t we all be better off without this person?

Hi Lee,

You left out one little detail about the Athens Senate. It wasn’t long before democracy got so lazy, that they killed them on the senate floor instead of throwing them out of the city. You’d think they could have at least, taken it outside on the steps. 🙂

About the razors? I say the guy who put a battery in a manual razor ought to be thrown out. What’s up with that, let alone 5 blades to do it with?

Yaaay!!! Lee, my favorite thread!!! so glad its back again.

Has anyone noticed that the shouting Oxyclean guy is now doing MORE commercials? We wanted him gone long ago, BUT IT SEEMS SOMEONE OUT THERE LOVES HIM. :confused:

I would like to kill that man on the channel 4 news. He come on every day at 5 0’clock. Then he will say something like, “A 6 year old was killed by a flyin horse turd, more at 6”. So there u sit for an hour, thinkin, how in the hell does that happen?

I would like to see the Geico Gecko get eaten by a large hungry cat.

Actually I would like to see a large dinosaur eat the caveman after he eats the Gecko. don’t like this Company or their Commercials.

Oh Larry, I totally agree with you. I hate that damn lizard and would like to throw him into a fire.

[B] I totally agree with you on the Gecko lizard, I’d love to see someone step on the stupid thing, Just who are they trying to sell insurance to anyway. As for the loudmouth guy on the oxyclean commercials Id like to see him either get lockjaw or a big piece of duct tape put over his mouth. We have a commerical in ky with an obnoxious little black haired lady, ranting about $10,000 dollars if you were injured in a car accident. I’d like to see a lid put on that garbage can of a mouth she, has just to shut her up every time I see that one I change the channel.[/B]

That stupid head-on commercial where they repeat the same thing over and over “Head-on, apply to your forehead” over and over to fill the 30 sec commercial time. Whoever made that commercial needs to take a long walk off a short plank. Is that all they could come up with for a commercial? Time to fire the advertising company too.

While we are walking people off the plank,
How about the Sonic Drive-Inn commercials. I don’t know if they are all over the country or if it is a regional thing but it makes me think that you have to be [B]STUPID[/B] to eat at Sonic. Some of the other commercials give you the same impression. I wonder if the people writing these things are as stupid as their commercials???

I hate to open a can of worms here, but I think we could live without Dr.Phil. I get so sick of seeing him everywhere, and of hearing my girlfriend say, “You know, Dr. Phil says men should….”

Oprah is bad enough, but us guys at least have some ability to marginalize her as just a silly celebrity woman with goofy ideas for women. My GF can say, “Oprah says (fill in the blank). Maybe you should try it.” I can say, “It’s just another one of Oprah’s warm and fuzzy ideas for women. Forget it.” And it’s done.

But Dr. Phil throws out the same idea about “sharing your feelings, etc.” and my GF says, “See, he’s a manly man and he’s not afraid to share his feelings.” Thanks, Dr. Phil. You’re making it tough on all us guys out here.

I say let him keep doing his counseling. On the International Space Station. With no communications with Earth. And next time Oprah wants her show to relate to men, have her call Charles Barkley…..

Hi,
I would like to chop off the head of that big “chicken” that rides a dirt bike as his song is being sung! “big hucking chicken”. I’m sure they made that sound like the “F” word to make it a “CATCHY” tune.

I agree with Jerimy about the “head-on” commercial. It has to be number 1 on my list for the MOST annoying commercial ever! I thought it was regional, but I guess everyone gets to see it unfortunately.

Liz,
I agree with you about that chicken. The first time I heard it I ask my wife what I heard and she explained that it did not start with and F.

Yeah, does anyone remember the study done back in the ’80’s? The researchers found that assuming the worldwide average of X number of people per family, and a large sized 3BR/2BA house on a standard sized lot (.5 acre?), that EVERY PERSON ON EARTH would fit (very comfortably) inside an area the size of Texas.

The sky is falling? Not according to the facts.

[B]I literally hate that hucking chicken commercial, wish some one would put the thing out of its misery. Another one I hate is the Geico commercial with the 2 cavemen this is what I think of both those stupid commercials. [img]http://bestsmileys.com/peeing/2.gif[/img][/B]

I also dislike most of the cell phone commercials especially the one where the guy flops around on the floor and the one where the guy hugs the substitute family. I still wonder who thinks up this stupid stuff and expects people to buy there stuff because of them.

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”]Speaking of cellphone commercials I wish Cingular wireless would stop making the claims of being the all over network. That is one huge lie, I have cingular wireless they don’t even have a tower where I live, & will not consider putting a tower in this area. I even offered to get them the access rights for land to place a tower on, I got this response all the funds have allready been apropriated for 2006 & 2007. So I may as well have been talking to a concrete block wall. I literally hate companies that like to brag. ALL OVER NETWORK WHEN PIGS FLY ! 😀 [/FONT]

[B]I almost forgot this one I literally hate that loud mouthed jerk doing the oxy clean commercials. This would be a good use for a roll of duct tape. 😀 [/B]

Amen on the Oxy Clean jerk. The stuff don’t work anyway. I have found that about 90% of the stuff that is advertised don’t work like they claim. false advertising I think but no one cares.

Picked up the phone this morning to hear some female idiot tell me “I want to talk with you regarding female rights.” I snapped back that I had been a feminist for 50 years and hung up. Doesn’t the do-not-solicit register apply to non-profits? I HATE TELEMARKETERS!

The telemarketer* who wanted to talk to me about women’s rights. I very patiently snarled that I had been a feminist for 50years and gently (well, maybe not very) hung up.

*Doesn’t the federal do-not-call register include telemarketers for non-profits? If not, why not?

When telemarketers used to call my uncle, he would ask them for their home phone number so he could get back to them. Of course they got flustered and said ,”I can’t give you my home phone number.” His reply ,”well then don’t call my damn home anymore, got the picture idiot?”

Interesting info on the annoying head-on commercials:

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](Link deleted by administration)[/SIZE][/FONT]

I just love the political phone calls where a recorded message from some congressman or other political busybody calls and tells me why we should not vote for our incumbent congressman or governor. I really love hearing from some guy in Iowa telling me who to vote for in NM.
Lea

Political candidates who try to shake your hand you are leaving or entering a railroad or subway station.

One of my coworkers would “accidentally” spill some of his coffee on the candidate

Marge,

The federal do-not-call list does not apply to non-profit or political calls. As for why not, I have no clue, I feel it should apply to all non solicited calls.

Thanks, Bill; that explains all the annoying phone calls–the pols want money.

If the man that was arrested in the Jon Benet case is really the killer, then the world truly would be a better place without him.

I will offer to escort him out of this world for free.

Hey Brandy,

I’d escort him back to Thialand to do his time. Out of the world would be too easy on him.:)

Hey Marc,

You can transport him back to Thailand, but not before I do my torture routine that will make him scream in the worst pain.

The guy is a weirdo all right, but so far nobody has explained how he got in the house and the ramson note asking for the father’s bonus.

I know that this is no laughing matter, but as usual, you had me in stitches!

Only in this forum would this work.

I would like to ban the doctor who instituted the following policy:

“ALL GBS patients will receive an IM heparin shot every 8 hours while in the hospital, to prevent blood clotting.”

This is important for those who are bed-ridden, but what about the many of us who recover enough to move around on our own? And do the nurses have to smile as they grab the fat-flab on our bellys and stick us?

And finally, who was the first guy to stick a piece of glass in his eye to discover that contact lenses actually work?

Lee,

That’s the kind of punishment that I have been talking about for years. I think my punishment would be an excellant way to deal with these kind of animals. Did you read my way of punishment? I think it’s in a different thread.

Wow, Lee, what a great story!

Swimm I agree with you on those shots. When I went to inpatient rehab I thought they were finally over with, turns out that wasnt the case and they were even debating sending some home with me as well. One of the nurses told me one night he would show me how to give myself that injection for when they sent me home with it I told him that I’d seen it so many times already I had it down (I didn’t tell him that if they sent me home with hepperin I had no intentions on actually doing them).

Anyways, the person I would vote off the planet would have to be the girl on the Massengill douche commercials. You know the one who is walking down the beach with her mom and starts asking if she douches. I mean come on women don’t really have conversations like that on the commercial.

The hospital person who started my day with this little ditty: “Have you had a bowel movement?”

Regards,
Marge

[B]I’ll second that one, I still think we’d be better off without the big mouthed oxy clean jerk. Or other commercials with annoying, obnoxious idiots that act like they have a high speed motor running their mouths.[/B]:D

The idiot ad men who make commercials and we don’t know what the hell the damn thing is about. There are way to many of them.

We would be better off with whoever wrote the new Medicare Part D Plan.

Okay, what happens now that the prosecutors dropped the case againist John Karr for lack of DNA match in Jon Benet’s murder?

Shouldn’t he go back to a Thai jail to answer charges there? He’s still a pervert and needs to be punished in a country where he has done harm.

Maybe they’ll catch him doing something else and arrest him again. I just hope it’s not a crime againist a child.

I still think we could do without this person in the world.

The doctors and physical therapists who told people they would never walk again and alot of you ignored them, worked hard and are now walking.

Agreed, Lee. My favorite is sending young girls to the homes of perfect strangers to sell cookies.

Dear Crumudgeon and Marge,

Unfortunately I have got to the point where I just throw those fundraising packages away without a second glance. They try and dangle a carrot in front of the childrens noses by saying that if they sell X amount they will get cetain prizes, or will only be able to attend a special pizza party if they have brought in a certain dollar amount. Like you, I have HAD IT!!! I have spent most of my daughters school years living at her school, helping out where I can, giving time, time, time, time, time, and where possible, money.

Marge, on Saturday I saw band members, both boys and girls in their band uniform, running from door to door trying to sell/raffle or get sponsorship – the neighborhood was unfortunately what would be termed as not desireable. Anything could happen ……..

I’m afraid money blinds our school systems, its all that gets spoken about lately. 🙁

Well I was going to say:

the oxyclean guy
BOB who has a new manhood
Any infomercial with an English accent
Any real estate get rich quick scheme

but most of all, Jerry Springer

But, since I’m a band director, I’ll point this out.

At my school, we get NO / 0 / nadda, funding.

I donate 2 hours a day to do general music classes to the K through 3rd grades.

We do a school wide fund raiser in the spring at the lower school that brings in between 3,000 and 5,000 a year. I take that money and have renovated the lower school music room using my own labor. I purchased equipment for all classes to have music whether rythem band instruments, games, DVD’s and the like, a 27″ TV and extra speakers to go with the stereo that I donated.

I have used that money to shop on EBAy for instruments at cheap prices so that I can repair them so that any student can rent them for $25 a year instead of the $35-$85 a month that the music stores charge. So far I have been able to purchase the following instruments:
12 flutes
40 clarinets
8 alto saxes
3 tenor saxes
1 alto clarinet
6 french horns
9 cornets
16 trumpets
8 baritones
12 trombones
4 tubas
1 bass clarinet
2 peterson tuning machines
6 snare drums
4 floor toms
2 concert bass drums
12 sets of bells
2 xylophones

I did however splurge and buy myself a nice conductors stand and some decent repair tools but I bought a used office chair that is comfortable for me to sit in for the sometimes 3 or 4 hours a night I sepnd in the lower school band room repairing instruments for free.

In the letter I send out to the parents with the fund rasising package I give them a list of what we have aquired from past fund raisers and what I plan on purchasing in the future. Alll parents are invited to come by the music room at open house and see what we’ve done.

I’ve also added a stereo to the cafeteria so that classical music is played during lunch to calm the savage beasts.

My fund raiser does pretty well every year because I tell and show them where the money goes.

I have more and more parents saying forget the fund raiser, I’ll send a donation. No all programs can prove where their money goes. Yes I do buy pizzas, but I buy one a week with my own money on Friday for the 4 top music students that week.

I could be a real jerk and tell kids who have not helped with the fund raiser that they have to go buy a $800 clarinet instead of renting them one for $25

Just thought I’d give you a different side of the story.

< stepping off the soapbox now>

Mike,

You are terrific. Thank you for being there for the kids.

I made some monetary contributions but we were very poor at the time. But, as good fortune would have it, I commuted with the president and some managers of our local Little League. So I spent several years as the Little League Secretary as well as a year as Cookie Mother, ferrying cookies to the office.

Regards,
Marge

The other Mike,
I would like to commend you for what you have and are doing. It is refreshing to see someone who is committed to helping young people learn something in school besides sports. In the city of 11,000 where I live they consistently cut music and art programs because of no funds, yet they have a high school football stadium and sports facility that that would make some universities happy. They seem to mange to refurbish the sports facilities on a regular basis, but the band has to hold raffles to buy new uniforms. I am not putting down sports as I played ball in high school and college, but I think we really ought to rethink our priorities. I came to appreciated the disparities a few years ago, when my daughter, who likes music and art kept asking for money to participate in them. When I did some checking into it I discovered what was and is going on.
Larry

Mike, I do think what you are doing is wonderful, and I know it can be such a thankless job, specially when a lot of the parents and children dont appreciate your hard work and input.
I dont consider myself PTA board material, but because of the lack of parent volunteers for any board positions, I agreed to become pta secretary for 2 years and vice pres for 1. Also sat on the principals advisory board for a couple years. I do know how much money is needed in the different school departments and how grateful many of the teachers are for this money. We tried very hard not to send out fund raising packages, and tried to do it in other ways e.g. spaghetti evenings, bingo, silent auctions, fun fairs, school T’s and clothing, student dances etc. Obviously we also accepted donations. Isnt it amazing that you always see the same faces helping out ALL the time (and the same faces just coming for the ‘fun’ but not prepared to help)? After 9 years of giving so much time and energy to my daughters schools, I feel burnt out, exhausted, and sick of the politics (always have), I just hope I have some energy left for when my son starts kindergarden next year 😮 .

Before every election in every town and city in the country, what is the refrain you always hear from politicians trying to get elected? We need more money for schools and roads.

I live in Fairfax County, Virginia – one of the most wealthy areas in the country, and we also pay some of the highest real estate taxes in the country. The taxes on my personal residence literally doubled last year. Yet, we have recently cut back the hours that our County public libraries stay open “due to funding shortfalls”.

Our schools do manage to have students with test scores well above average, but parents and students are still required to participate in the endless fund-raising gimmicks described by many of you, in order to provide the basics for our music and arts programs.

I happen to know a number of teachers personally, who all tell me that they use their own personal money and time to provide adequate school supplies for their classrooms.

The Virginia Department of Transportation handles the road work here. An enormous chunk of the state budget goes to VDOT, yet our roads are a mess. There are enough new highway dept. vehicles parked all around the County, to repair all the roads on the East coast. But somehow, basic road repairs don’t get done, let alone new work. Every time a new roads project is proposed, they ask for more money.

Where is our tax money???? I know and you know, but somehow we don’t do anything about it.

Sorry for the rant, but this subject really touches a nerve with me.

Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive or our /your schools by buying the endless stream of crap sent home with our kids, and attending the fund raisers, donating your time, and doing your best to see that kids get the opportunity to have the programs you support. Without you, the kids would be the ones to lose out.

This one goes out to whatever idiot came up with the blackberry. Thanks to this dude / dudette, I am required to be “on-call” 24×365. I am a finance guy, not a medical person. I (and many others, I am sure) am required to be available for meetings at the touch of a button. Oh, how I used to love my family vacations in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no cell/phone or data capability. Dang Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, etc. for building these great international networks!

Doug,

I totally agree with you! My husband is always ‘plugged in’. When he is at home on the East Coast, he has to conference with Japan and California, sometimes there are calls in the early hours of the morning. The sad thing is, it is expected of them …….

[FONT=”Book Antiqua”]The one person I can do without, is the smiling idiot on the Enzyte tv commercials. I think this guy must have got on some kind of bad drugs, He looks like a total idiot. 😀 [/FONT]

Hello All! This is racer13’s daughter. As you might have noticed in the last couple weeks, racer 13’s e-mails have been confusing. His family needs you to know that he is in the hospital right now treating this mass confusion. We hope he will be better and back with you all very soon. Please disregard any nonsensical and/or confusing contributions he has made. Please pass this on to the whole forum.

Sincerely,

Especially the one that is of the people having a nice comversation in the van and out of the blue there is a crash and the air bags explode. I jump each time! Do safer cars make worse drivers?

REMEMBER SOME OF THE COMMERCIALS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE PROGRAMMING WE ARE WATCHING! THANKS EVERYONE I ENJOYED THIS THREAD.

I have to say that this is one of the best threads I’ve seen!!! So far I agree with all of them.

Lets get rid of fat burning infomercials, money making infomercials and the Tim Daily Show!

As you can see, I have insomnia and watch a lot of late night tv.

what are the feelings on commercials about prescriptions?
I think it is too much information. now EVERYBODY that comes to my house, including my kids see what i am taking and know exactly what it is for. I think that is my business only. The way they describe the medications most kids shouldn’t know what they are talking about. They ask, what do you say?

I say bring back commercials like the old lady screaming “WHERE’S THE BEEF?”

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”]I liked the one with Santa Claus riding on the Norelco Shaver head ![/FONT]

That long list of possible side effects really bugs me every time I hear it. I guess the drug companies are protecting themselves. If someone has one of these rare side effects they can always say “I told you so.” But wouldn’t it be enough to say that there may be side effects and to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking the drug.

It always amuses me to hear about the drug that controls acid reflux…but comes with the side effects of headache, diarrea, muscle pain, cramping, bloating and constipation or some such list…I think I’d rather have the acid reflux and just down tums like there was no tomorrow. :rolleyes:

I really hate the “Mom have you ever had that not so fresh feeling” commercial. I mean really – who came up with this gem of advertizing! I cannot imagine ever sitting on a swing and having this talk with my mother. (Although I did one day just to be ornery and watch her blush…we both got a good chuckle out of it but agreed it was not very realistic)

Had to have some tests done yesterday at the hospital. I left after two hours of tests and going to pharmacy. Local bus stop is in front of hospital, which is located on a major north-south New York avenue and about 200 feet from ambulance entrance.

A private-car service vehicle was parked in bus stop and I gently (or as gently as someone still on steroids) told driver to move. He did not and beeped horn, urging me to get out of his way. I snapped and said “no you idiot” (a tad stronger since this is New York), urging him to move his damn car. He did not and smirked so I poked at car with the rubber end of my cane. He still didn’t move so I poked more strongly. He started screaming that he was calling the cops because “you dented my car.” Needless to say, my language got stronger and he got nastier. He did not call the cops though I told him to do so, yelling that cops would be highly amused to know that he wanted them to arrest a 65-year-old woman wearing oxygen and carrying a cane for assault on a deadly vehicle.

And how was your day?

Regards,
Marge

Good for you, Marge. Thanks for sharing your story. It was funny to read, but
I am sure not funny at all when it happened to you.

I liked the valet parking attendant they had at the Red Cross where I went to donate platelets. Hubbie and I pulled up, waited while he read the paper and listened to something through his head phones. We waited some more. Finally we got his attention. He looked at us, went back to reading his paper. Finally I shouted something to the effect of take the headphones off and get up. His excuse? He thought I was a cab, dropping someone off. I do not drive a yellow Chevy, I drive a blue Jag. IDIOT!!!

You go Marge!! I loved your story.

Marge,

You make everything intersting, love you always!

My new fave…

One of the candidates for Attorney General of New York State called today to tell me she was fighting for women’s rights.* She is the District Attorney of Westchester County who is being investigated by the current Attorney General for hiring a former NYC police commissioner to illegally record meetings (hehehe) between her husband and his girlfriend. Her husband did some jail time for tax evasion; she did not even though she signed the joint return.

*the woman’s right to be dumb and a sleaze.

We would be better off without the idiots who closed down the World Trade Center Site to fast. They are now finding more remains in the last 2 days which will bring closure to some families.

I could certainly do without the driver that was in front of me yesterday at the red light. (I won’t mention if this driver was male/female as rudeness is not limited to gender/race/religion, etc) As this driver was busily talking on the cell and drinking the cup of coffee, the light turned green. I patiently waited a few seconds then gave a fairly polite honk. Of course, this person then saluted me (Why with only one finger???) and drove on out of my life and into somebody else’s to be a thorn, I’m sure. I’m sure you have seen this type of RUDE person. Can we get rid of them???

okay this was a while ago but…I could do without the 1st nurse I had back in VA while I was in hospital (the 2nd of 3 times).

I was supposed to be getting morphine in my IV every 3 hours, but since I had finally fallen asleep the nurse did not administer the pain med when she was supposed to. Exactly 3.5 hours later I woke up screaming in pain (it hit me like a ton of bricks with no warning). The nurse actually yelled at me and told me I should have woken up earlier to tell her I was going to be in pain in the next 30 minutes! In fact, when I told her she was supposed to have given it to me earlier she argued that since I was asleep I did not need it. 😡

When the doctor came by a few hours later I asked him to instruct the nurses to administer the pain meds as prescribed and not at their convenience. She was removed and a new nurse was assigned to me (who was great I might add).

Sometimes I feel like I wear a sign that says “I am in extreme pain but you should ignore it and act like I am faking it all”.

Dr. Phil. I can’t wait for him to trip over his ego.

Frank used to call Dr. Phil, Dr. Fraud.

I’ve often wondered if his bubble will ever burst. There was something once about him hiring private jets to fly him around the US and not paying his bill, wonder how true that was?

I could do without the new employee at my bank who told me yesterday that I don’t have any accounts with the bank. Meanwhile I had my checkbook and savings book with me, he looks them up and says gee I’m sorry , then he proceeds to tell me that my driver’s license is expired, it most certainly is not expired. So I told him and the manager of the bank that he really needs to find another place of employment when he made that many mistakes in 3 minutes with a training person standing next to him. Maybe the trainer needs to find new employment too. Geez, what gene pool did these 2 tellers come from? Gee that felt good to get that off my chest.

Doesn’t “competitive, aggressive, and potentially dangerous” describe most all sports. No wonder you see the news reports of our nation’s children getting fat. Next thing you know they will outlaw grades and report cards since that too is competitive and we wouldn’t want that.

I totally agree with you Lee. Some schools even ban volleyball. What in the world are children suppose to do, sit around and just look at each other.

Seems to me the people who are banning all activities in our schools are probably the little weenies who never played any sports at all in their childhood. They need to stop their whining and let the children be children and play all the games we played as children. When you take away certain things and tell children how bad it is for them, you are creating more curiosity on their part and they will defy you just to see what it’s all about.

Guess then that I would be considered aggressive and possibly dangerous because I played volleyball, dodgeball, basketball and of course the ever dangerous archery. I still do archery whenever I can. Stand me in a corner and punish me for being athletic.

I’ll be rooting for Miles come the new school year.

[B]Any idiot celebrity who cannot control themselves, certainly the world would be a better place without them. Voting them off the island too.We really need to clean the “gene pool” every now and then folks.

Thought I’d bring this back up so we can all have our gripes.[/B]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4][COLOR=blue]Here’s something I 😡 HATE with a Passion, All those stupid Get A Lawyer commercials on tv. Wouldn’t we all be better off with out these. [COLOR=red]A vote to Kick Them Completely off the Island. 😉 [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I could live without the person at the cable tv company that [COLOR=”Red”]always[/COLOR] tells me the same thing when I call about the same unclear channel reception, “Yes, we are working on it.” Months of same answer! May as well hire a robot!

They are gonna force me to get Dish Network or similar!!!!

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4][COLOR=blue]Well let’s see here’s something else to add to the list, I have AT&T phone service. That was previously Bellsouth, since then I have gotten more than one CST Rep. That has some kind of attitude problem, & has gotten smart & snappy with me. I’d like to see these jerks stomped down in a sewer line, with the rest of the sewage. 😉 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE=Lee Spurgeon]I vote for a sledgehammer to the forehead to the guy who devised the automated phone service for my HMO. You can wear your fingers to little stubs before you reach a real human being and God help you if you want to actually talk to your doctor.[/QUOTE]
[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”2″]How about ALL automated phone service, especially on a small keypad when your fingers don’t work right in the first place?
Hate all those commercials for erectile dysfunction and the ones that demonstrate just how much liquid your maxi pad will absorb.
Don’t want to hear any more about Jon & Kate plus 8.
murdelize the caveman, send the gecko back to Australia.
And please, do folks[I][B] really need[/B][/I] to be chatting loudly on their cell phones no matter where they are? I really get worked up about this one. I’m on steroids so my temper is somewhat near the boiling point most of the time so I have to fight the urge to snatch them bald headed. There, now I feel better.

[FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=4][COLOR=blue]Here’s one you can add all those Viagra & Cialis commercials. Like I need that crap anyway. 😉 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=4][COLOR=#0000ff]or calling the phone company repair service, getting a stupid pre recorded voice & when I do get hold of someone. Those jerks telling me you don’t have the inside wiring maintenance on your calling plan, if the repair person has to enter your home you will be charged for it. That literally infureates me to no end, STUPID IDIOTIC JERKS ![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I could do without Dell customer service, or lack there of, not to mention they do not even speak English!!

Dawn

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]I do literally hate those commercials on tv, with people that acting like they fell off an idiot wagon. Or Turnip Truck as some call it. 😉 [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”2″]How about the ER Doc who, when I told him I was confused and frightened, that I’d lost all sense of time and couldn’t be sure how much pain killer I’d taken, leaned over and said[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”3″][I] ‘Well LADY, you need to write it down!'[/I][/SIZE][/FONT]
Thanks for the advice DOC, now get off the island. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[B]To the real estate guy who was showing the house I’m living in, I need to clean his gene pool ASAP. He didn’t know the difference betweeen the first floor apt or the 2nd floor apt. I’m on the top floor(2nd Apt) he asked me how to get to the top floor from my apt. We only have 2 floors(2 Apts) genius, now get the hell off my island you brainless twit.:mad: 😡 [/B]

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”2″]Bless you Lee for starting this thread, what a great place to vent!
Between here and the Tavern, no matter how bad I feel, re-reading the posts always leaves me laughing and feeling better.
Thanx

[FONT=”Verdana”]We would [B]all[/B] better off without the moron mindlessly rubber stamping “NO!” on our insurance claims![/FONT] (Especially meds and treatments!) 😡

Carla

[B]Aren’t you all happy that Lee started this thread, it’s good to get the frustrations out and a little “gene pool” cleaning isn’t to bad either.[/B]

Well said and I couldn’t agree more! A pox on all network news execs!

Hey Lee, you want to take a run for the presidency? You have my vote.

Carla

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”2″]Thats why I never watch the “News”
Oh alright, I’m too busy poppin’ the Pred and watching the Food Network to find new and innovative ways to pack on the pounds and Discovery Health to see if I have any new diseases:D
Now let’s track down the genius who invented those grocery carts with the kiddie car in front, tape his feet to the floor and let the kiddies’ parents run repeatedly into his shins and over his toes instead of ours? eh?[/SIZE][/FONT]

I would be better off without me

Dawn, I am sorry that you feel this way. You add so much caring to our GBS/CIDP family and I am glad that you are here. Hugs to you.

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4][COLOR=purple]I think we all need to send Dawn [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”7″][COLOR=”Blue”][CENTER]Dawn, hang in there. It sounds like you could use a big hug. Would you settle for a cyber hug from two hug bears?[/CENTER][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

You guys are kind. Sometimes thigs just get overwhelming. I would never leave Kevin or my older son Nick. They are the only two things that keep me going.
Thanks for kind words
Dawn

[COLOR=”Purple”]Wouldn’t we all be better off without the person that came up with those intrusive pre-recorded political phone calls?![/COLOR]

Carla

[SIZE=”3″][SIZE=”2″][COLOR=”Blue”]Amen, Lee! Well said.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE]

I think we’d be better off without the idiot who thought it was a good idea for my doctor’s office to solicit me for money. About once a month I get this nice glossy begging letter from Johns Hopkins asking me to donate a minimum of $5000 “to further research.” RIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTT. Sure pal, got loads of cash left over to throw at you… :rolleyes: who’s idea was it to turn over the patient database to the fundraising office? seems like a violation of privacy to me… 😡

We would all be better of with a do over on the last 7 years without the Bush administration.

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”][SIZE=”3″]Lee
You always manage to hit the nail right on the head !

How about the person or persons who decided that ‘Super Delegates’ should be the ones to decide who “wins” the Primary?

I read that at least here in Pennsylvania, they had already made up their minds [B][I]before[/I][/B] the Primary, so i wonder [B][I]Why Bother[/I][/B] to vote if it’s going to be disregarded anyway?
[IMG]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh47/oldbat2ccats/cow_30.gif[/IMG]

i think i must have been napping in Civics Class, oh so many years ago when they explained the reasoning behind that one!

It’s almost as bad as having George W.’s brother Jed who was Gov of Florida throw out our votes in Florida when G.W. ran against Gore.

Off with their heads! [/SIZE][/FONT]

I had to read these from the beginning; I didn’t want to repeat four people That should be beheaded before they leave this planet:
1. Brandy mentioned easter grass; I want to add the person who invented the packing peanuts that stick to everything in my home after I open the box, what a sadistic maniac….

2. The Dell exec or whomever that decided that the people in India are the chosen ones that help me with ALL my Dell questions that I have to repeat 3 times and still can’t undersstand the answers. I have asked for an American rep. and still get India!!! I am really easy to live with, but Dell has ruled my pleasant positive personality :p :p :p :p

3. Agree with one that has been repeated-that gecko and caveman are one reason that I rarely watch tv.

4. Network news execs that think only sensational negative news should be reported. Is there so little good news that they think really isn’t important enough to garner my attention? No wonder other countries think badly of the US-they only see the stupid rich Hollywood anorexic kids “misbehaving”,etc. I am really proud of my country, but want that negative news exec beheaded.

Guess all my feel good part of my ivig has worn off from this past weekend. Thanks for letting me vent. Emma

[FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=3]Hey Emma you left out 1 bunch for the beheading, how about adding the jerk speculators on the stock market. The ones that are driving up the price of oil & causing the ruination of this country.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=purple]I truly wish those idiots in washington would leave things along, all I hear is this crap about DTV. If you want to continue watching tv after Feb. 17 2009, & you receive your tv signal with an antennae. You either need a tv with a digital tuner or a digital converter, well I have the converter boxes. What they don’t tell you is if it starts raining very much, you’ll lose your picture on your tv. Just like when I had satellite tv, this Sucks leave well enough alone. We’d be better off with the idiots that came up with that idea. [/COLOR][/FONT]

We have Direct TV Terry and believe me you are right. Be watching a great movie on a Sunday night and the rain comes it to make my TV into snowflakes! LOL:D
