Grinds my Gears
You know what grinds my gears?
Logging onto FB and there are 20 posts from the same guy selling 1 item in all the clubs I belong to-- I mean I wish there was a sale section- or use craigs list and leave social media for socializing-=- no adds- now fake news-- No people posting stupid cats-- why can't it just be the people I chose and the stuff they choose-- not what their best friends mom's uncle had for breakfast-- then label it -- THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER--- NO its not amazing-- its cornflakes-- it was corn flakes yesterday- and it was corn flakes when someone posted it last year-- it is not funny- it is just cornflakes.
They should just stick to fart jokes :-)

I remember someone recommending I join facebook "because there's all sorts of cool stuff you'd really like". 
It's the stuff like this that you've posted that keeps me from signing up. There's too many people I know that would post that same garbage on my page. There's also the people that feel the need to post all of their life problems on FB and I just have no time or desire for that drama in my life.

I have enjoyed re connecting with some folks on FB that I had not had contact with for many years. Over that last few years there has been a real turn to crappy political stuff and some folks seem to spend hours a day sharing far out, stupid, false political views. I have blocked a bunch of the worse offenders. Some were long time friends who for some reason felt they needed to hammer their political or religious views down everyone's throat. If it was caring stuff or uplifting I might not mind, but hateful, critical, the country's going to hell in a hand basket stuff, i don't need it.
Now, what you and your kids are doing, what you did to you truck, where you went on vacation, I like to see that.

That about sums it up Del-- I went through and got rid of allot of the offending parties-- I didn't unfriend them though- I unfollowed them-- so I don't see there new posts unless I go check their page-- It cut down my feed by %50 at least- and I can still check up to see how my nieces and nephews are doing-

got cut off in traffic 4 times last night on my way home-- once was a guy with no lights on! (8:00pm) its raining cats and dogs seriously high crosswind and this guy just zooms past me slams on his brakes to take a corner onto 21st street. Fart can muffler blarring as he tries to slow down-- What gets me is there was no one behind me- he could have waited 1/2 a second and the coast was clear. I almost hit him- it was close.

Local neighborhood crime grinds my gears.
Someone posted up that they had someone break into their car, another had someone throw a dozen eggs at their house, another had their mailbox and post come up missing, pulling it out of the ground. These little reminders of random people being ******, makes it difficult for me to sleep at night. Who does this crap, and what do they get out of it? Why don't they ever get caught?

Things that shaped my life and got me where I am today.
1. Had a bunch of things stolen out of my car in Topeka
2. Got contacted by a security company (Diebold) to do security. (Thought I was going to make the world a better place, just made some company who stole my soul, a lot of money)

I had everything stolen from me in Italy-- but everything was returned by two guys who thought they were going to die-- My landlord ran "a tile shop" but I never saw any customers

Amp was stolen and I laughed and laughed.I also wrapped up my garbage in Christmas wrapping and included a 1/2 lb of warm shrimp shells and chicken in plastic wrapped boxes- My hopes was that it wreaked when they tore into it :-) The packages were stolen in under a 1/2 hour. :-)
