It's possible that I'm cranky. Okay, it's probable that I'm cranky. And in my crankiness I may be a bit less tolerant than my normally sunny tolerant less cranky personality allows me to be. I feel like I have extreme aggravation on speed dial. Things that would normally merely annoy me are driving me bats. The kind of bats that makes me want to throw things. Things like rocks.
But because I don't to set a bad example for my children, I've decided to throw a few metaphorical rocks instead.
My Targets
1. The medical and scientific community - why hasn't the treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome changed in twenty years? Everything else has. Oh, and an extra rock for Dr.Coven who implied that I was being whiny when I mentioned the carpal tunnel, exhaustion and heartburn I've been experiencing lately.
2. People who send me emails with ridiculous political or medical allegations without doing any research on them. It's not really hard to check Snopes.com or Truth in Politics, you know? Or if you don't want to research it, don't freaking send it to me. Because I WILL check and I WILL reply.
(PS If you receive the one that makes false allegations about Obama and is supposedly written by NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, delete it. Definitely fake.)
3. Parents who don't allow their children to grow up - have you heard about the parents of college kids who give them wake-up calls, argue with their professors about their grades and confront their roommates for them? Do you want any of these kids to be your doctor, lawyer or child's teacher someday?
4. Whoever brought high waist pants back. Because those pants just look ugly.
5. The reality "stars" on VH1's show "I Love Money" and the producers paying them. Their time is up. Let them crawl back into their trashy lives where they belong.
6. Everyone who speeds on my cul-de-sac. Where the fuck do you think you're going to go?
7. The Travel Channel. Because The World Series of Poker, while on the channel practically every night, is not a travel show.
8. Politicians who are pro-life but vote against expanding health care for kids, day care vouchers, sex education, tax breaks for lower middle class families and everything else that will help after the children are born.
9. My dryer. The buzzing noise it makes to signal that it's done is the most grating noise I've ever heard - and that includes when both of my children are whining.
10. Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Because people actually take them seriously.
Anything/one you'd like to throw a rock at?
