    Today - just about everything.  You've heard the expression, "No good deed goes unpunished?"  Well, that's been my day.

    The first thing that came to mind is the fact that has become undeniable and that is that schools do not teach kids how to measure dimensions.  They do not know the difference in height, width, length, or depth.  In the online shopping world this skill has become just as important as the posting of price.  Today, it wasn't even that complicated.  I was ordering tape and wanted to know how much tape was on each roll.  I found the area where that information would be and was informed the roll was 3.5" by .75".   I screamed for a full 6 seconds.  Then I went to another store.  I just run into this all the time.  Dimensions for office chairs make all the difference for me.  I have to have a seat no more than 15" from the ground.  That is not easy to find.  I have never found the dimensions on a website to be remotely correct.  And seat height?   They don't even seem to know what that is.  The last chair I bought Office Depot had the seat height as 36".   Don't blame this on COVID; I'm really sick of that excuse for everything!

    Lazy bastards who leave shopping carts just anywhere in car parks. The corrals are there for a reason.

    People still displaying USA presidential candidates' signs and flags on their properties from the November 2020 election.

    And it's very lovely getting to see this flag flying on one person's property:

    I’m liking this because This post was edited by my2cents at November 4, 2022 9:43 PM CDT.


    Did this pic survive in its original form for 15½ months, or is it just that glitch thing that changes the edit date and time on every post in a thread when only one post in a thread gets edited?

    At least there is no censorship around here, right?

    Not for opinions. Just cursing, adult content in main areas and posts about other users.

    The four-letter words in my original post in May of 2021 were changed very soon after I had originally posted my answer in 2021 and I was notified about the change. 

    I still allow myself to get irked traveling by the guy's property who was proud of his flag. For some reason, his flag fails to make me want to vote for his man any more than I already do.

    I did not know about that glitch. 
    But I know, I did not edit it recently.

    AM does this thing sometimes where if someone edits their post, it changes the edit dates and times of all the other edited posts within the same thread.

      The international tilde market took a hard hit the first two quarters of 2020, recovered slightly the third quarter, divebombed even lower the last quarter, and finally was back to normal this past few weeks. The worst part is that not one financial news outlet breathed a word of it. Grrrrrrrr.

    Yes.  :)

    I remember thinking the dollar bill in the gif looked more like a tilde to me than a dollar bill, so that's why I chose it.  :)

    That you're using irk which was my moms favorite Irish word. She always said that it would go over like a lead balloon. She always add ish to adjectives. Over my dead body. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at November 5, 2022 8:12 AM MDT

    Poor spelling and excessive verbosity.
