More Minor Irritations (or maybe rhetorical what the eff?)
1. Convenience/drugstore prices. Does anyone ever buy anything other than junk food or cigarettes in these places? I needed creamer one night. Instead of making 2 trips, since I needed to pick up scrips at RiteAid, I figured I’d get creamer there, too, instead of battling my way into Chopper for one item. The creamer…

A moment of silence
No gripes or minor irritations today, just a moment of both respect, and retrospect. Do you remember what you were doing? I was at work, still in the call center, and the phones were sort of busy. It was on the tvs all around the room, but the volume was down, and for what now…

More Undead Oz! Some dialogue from quite early on
“Dawthy!” Auntie Phlegm gasped. “How could you?! You wicked, wicked witch! Ellie the Ghoul! It’s what you are, hurting an innocent little dog! A witch and a ghoul!” Auntie Phlegm looked as if she were going to faint right onto the floor. Chunk and Mapleface stared at each other with their mouths hanging open. Uncle…

Minor Irritations III (HAH!)
1. Street parking. If you’ve never lived with it, you can’t appreciate the misery. My street is dominated by two apartment buildings. The one directly across is only half in use because fire destroyed one side; the one on the corner, between front and back, has 10-12 apartments in it. There’s parking in the alley…

Sneakiest Preview: the first 2 paragraphs of Undead Oz
Dawthy Pale was a mostly normal little girl, in as much as any little girl is normal. She lived in a boarding house, which was owned by her aunt and uncle, Phlegm and Henny. It was a neat and clean boarding house, and I say this because the term “boarding house” doesn’t sound very pretty,…

More Minor Irritations
1. Line straddlers. Now I have only seen this in certain stores, but whenever I’m in said store, anywhere in the ol’ Cappy D, I see it, so I wonder if its something the cashiers’ actually encourage. People don’t pick one line or another. They just sort of linger in between, ever so slightly doing…

And Some Smileys!
To avoid the idea that I’m a negative person (in fact, its more a case of just seeing the humor, even in the face of minor annoyances), I will also keep a running list of those little things that make us feel warm all under. After a rough day, some of these may just make…

Some Minor (but maybe funny) Irritations
1. Making diseases sound hip. I’m so serious. It’s bad enough that we are suddenly inundated with drug commercials. Remember commercials for booze and cigarettes? Well, I hope those of you who protested those are happy that now advertising is all about adult diapers and catheters. But as if to make aging easier, now we…
