  199. ... people who have issues with being pissed off. It's cathartic. At one time being an Angry Young Man was a meal ticket. Is it now politically incorrect? We can't be angry, speak our minds, use acceptable words in unacceptable ways ... We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavouring to stifle is a false opinion; and even if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still. John Stuart Mill Where am I going with this, that's what I want to know. I think it's time to go home. Dandelion Patch break.

  210. My overly eccentric next-door neighbors who allow the daily newspaper to sit in their front yard for four or five days before retrieving it. By that time, there's a small army of papers in the yard and I inevitably wind up collecting them all and placing them on their patio. After allowing the newspapers to sit outside their front door for several days, the ungrateful neighbors eventually place the unopened pile of newspapers on MY patio.

  211. My older son's inability to keep track of his spelling list for school. The fact that I am about to get the cold/sore throat that both of my sons so generously brought home from school. The fact that I am on deadline all week for two clients. Take you pick. And I couldn't agree with you more about Mark Steyn, although the "semen flecked" image did make me cringe.

  212. a friend who is frequently self righteous under the guise of humility. who decided to play 'victim', then played cool...and then blew me off with a 'I have more important things to deal with' attitude. the 'have a good week' ending was the clincher. smarmy little brat.
