Things That Annoy You

Have to get this annoyance out of my head, please bear with me... Waited over 2 months for an eye appointment with the VA because of double vision in only 1 eye..(the web warned of the cause being a stroke) They sent me to an appointment to get new glasses, go figure. Here is the annoying part: I use a CPAP machine every night and find out, on my own, that the breeze from around the mask can cause severe dry eye which can cause double vision. Also discovered a product called "Tranquil Eyes". These look similar to tanning goggles and retain moisture in your eyes while sleeping. Why the hell did my doctor, who also prescribed the CPAP, not put 2 and 2 together? It's the damn VA medical system, overworked, overloaded and no chance to be held accountable for a screw up... My vision is back to normal, no glasses needed, go figure...

Glad you caught it.

One thing that annoys me is sports writers that didn't vote for Alan Trammell for the Baseball Hall of Fame.   He only got 40% of the vote today in his last year of being eligible.   *sigh*

He and Whitaker were so cool they were on Magnum PI with Tom Selleck:

But why??! Emergency Bacon, why? I'm just sitting here snowed-in, but still with electricity, reading the last remaining glimmers of sanity on the Art Bell threads, feeling all kumbayah with the world ... and now, this.

I literally just found out about sixteen hours ago what "GAF" means. I feel like I've missed out on some of the best years of my life.

[whoozit]

The misuse of the word literally.

[Jackstar]

The misuse of the word literally.

I Googled it for the first time then. Somehow I never got around to doing that. These things happen.

I get annoyed by people who assume I freely lie, like their fathers did. But you--you're different.

I'm glad you didn't literally die.

I've been obsessed with making avgolemono for the last couple weeks. I've always loved it, but lately I haven't really wanted to bother eating anything else. Tonight, I fucked up, and added the egg mixture directly to the hot broth, instead of gently coddling it.

The results are trulyliterally distasteful. I'll probably never make this mistake again. Learn from me.

Yep when someone says "It's literally raining cats and dogs", I better see Fido and Furball falling from the skies.  Actually, recently I looked it up, and it's now legit to use it as a way of showing emphasis, rather than in it's strictest sense.  I suppose it's the same fate that once befell "truly" and "really".  Still, now that I've come to accept it, I'm literally over the moon about it.

That and random, it's now being used to mean weird.

It should be "The Random Musings of Falkie2013".

[zeebo]

It should be "The Random Musings of Falkie2013".

Or just The Musings of Some Random Guy.

[Roswells, Art]

It should be "The Random Musings of Falkie2013".

I think 'mind-numbing' should be somewhere in there.

What's the view like?

It's literally out of this world.

People who still haven't taken down their outdoor Christmas decorations. Come on, folks. It's February for Christ's sake, and His birthday celebration was over a month ago!

Hater!

Meanwhile, here are instructions on how to construct a Hobo Stove.  The Unabomber did it.  Howard Hughes did it.  And if the Three Wise Men had had access to cans, they would have done it.  You can do it, too:

I'm just sick and tired of St. Valentine getting tossed aside in the post-holiday hype and hoopla that seems to last longer every year.  At this rate, it will collide with Easter in a few years and people won't know if they're supposed to be celebrating a birth or a resurrection. I'm not sure I want to live in that world.

I consider Valentine's Day to be personally insulting. This can't be just me.

Al Capone certainly had no use for the sentiments traditionally expressed on that day, if that's any consolation.

[ItsOver]

I'm more than annoyed that Hell is too good for this punk scum.
