I am right there with you! My major gripe right now is work related so I won't get into it. But it just seems like I can't go 5 minutes today without somebody seriously ticking me off! But for my husbands sake I'm hitting the gym after work to burn off some of my anger before I get home.

And in NJ, by law, you must use a hands free device to use your cell in the car. However, that never ever happens. p.s. NJ has the worst drivers in the nation so I am feeling you EZ.

my gripe is dumb punk kids on the bus! It is not okay to talk loudly, say inappropriate things, do pull ups on the bar that you're supposed to hold when the bus is full.... not okay!!! ugh and don't get me started on their dumb little butts hanging out of their sagging pants. 1. you're in the pacific northwest and are white 2. you look ridiculous 3. i don't want to see your junk! I actually saw a kid once trying to sag his sweatpants!!! WHAT?!?!?

omg and the teenagers up here that think they are gangsters crack me up! They would die after 15 minutes at the school i went to in California...
If they only knew what that style really ment, then I'm sure they wouldn't ever do it!!! It's a prison thing..and I'm pretty sure most of them have never been to prison.

Btw..I'm young, and I dont text & drive. I HATE that!! Some loser almost ran us off the rode because he was texting. This was in the middle of a snow storm too.

Lol, I passed a guy who was sagging half way down to his knees with my bf the other day. It was just one too many I guess, cause I actually said to him "Hey, if I wanted to see your penis, I would ask!" So his oh-so-macho retort was "Well, if I wanted to see you lose weight I would ask!" Ha! All he did was tell me I look good fat, lol

Yep, we have all the laws here too and I will say most OBEY....but so many do not...

Seriously I drive the freeways a lot and I cannot believe how many times I have had near accidents from someone texting or not having a clue where they are while on the phone.

As far as those saggin' pants go...

I will be 56 years old on Saturday...when I was a teenager the cool thing was to pull our boxers up a tad above our Levis so they could be seen with our shirts off...

or pull them down so they showed below our shorts...

which was easy back then since our shorts barely covered the family jewels

But seriously....this saggin' thing still continues...

how original...

a 15 year old fad...

come on kids...come up with something new!

The sagging pants thing drives me nuts. The top of your pants is called a waistband for a reason! Fortunately, for the next couple of years, I don't have to see it everytime I go out since my family is stationed overseas and the base has a dress code that addresses baggy pants and underwear and midrift exposure, among other things.

Grenade shuts down I-5 in San Clemente

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) - Traffic is moving again in both directions on Interstate 5 in San Clemente after authorities safely detonated a military grenade found on the freeway.

All northbound and southbound lanes were closed around 11:40 a.m. Friday after motorists notified the California Highway Patrol that an explosive device was sitting on the roadway. All lanes were reopened about two hours later.

The CHP says a bomb squad robot safely moved the grenade to the shoulder and placed a protective covering over it.

CHP Officer Chris Goodwin says a sheriff's bomb squad later detonated the device and determined it was an inert military grenade with no explosives inside.

The shutdown caused a traffic backup of about six miles.

Oh I didn't miss date night

My date was at home...already in her jammies...nose running wild and warming up leftover Costco chicken noodle soup....

date night is always Friday night...never the same in our lives....sometimes whoopee and sometimes the newspaper....last night it was the Olympics...

we are married and that's how we roll

aww date night is wonderful!!

my gripe today is that my family is about to get hit by another tsunami and i can't find any news about it and all circuits are busy over there so i can't call anybody and even if i could- it costs $3 a minute to call them even though they live in a U.S. territory! WHEW! sorry- i'm really stressed and worried for them. They live in American Samoan and still haven't recovered from the first tsunami yet. I feel terrible for the people in Chile too! The tsunami warnings are all the way up to the oregon and alaska coasts and russia! scary stuff.
