You know what i hate?

[Ckbrew]

It does look beautiful. The treck through the woods carrying 10 gallons of gasoline nearly did me in. That snap crackle pop above my head, oh what a feeling...


A look from the other end the next day.

Sounds like an adventure to a city folk like me! I'm real glad you have that extra jenny. Our power went out for a bit, last week. When it came back on, I got three telephone calls and three emails telling me the power was off.
We are getting a bunch of rain. Not a bunch, really. Just rain. Our rain makes people sick and homeless. Flooding occurs that further overflows already overflowing and broken sewage treatment plants and makes buildings unhabitable.

Just a few inches here. Was gone by late afternoon. Lots of wind. Got over 20" at our camp in the Adks. Heading up on Sunday for the eclipse and check for damage.

I hate paying good money for poor quality seeds.

Cox doesn't do email anymore. They sold it to Yahoo. Without doing a thing, I already have 5 junk-mails. I am still trying to figure out how to remove ads from my in-box. Ads go to external sites so there is no unsubscribe option. When I go back to my in-box after viewing an ad, the ad is still in bold letters and cannot be deleted. With Cox, I hadn't had spam in several years. I don't even get pop-up ads.
Change sucks. I hate change. Even had to redo my password. Luckily, I know about settings.

I tried to use "cox" mail, never gave anyone the addy, and each time I looked at it it was full of spam. Only a few spam emails can be sent to electron hell (not thousands), I dont even remember how to get in now, I found it to be unusable. Goooooogle mail is also yahoo.
IF you have Firefox you may be able to block spam/ads with their add ins (as I do) works on tubi and pluto as well, movies with no interruptions.

I hate the hold cell phones have on people and companies that lie and take advantage. I am unable to stop friends past a certain age from downloading apps they are convinced they need through unsolicited emails, texts, and pop-ups. God damn the pop-up! Computers are so much easier to secure for old people.
We are in the beginning of a decline of a well colonized civilization. Ethics are unconstitutional. Advertisers are liars, cheaters, and thieves without exception.
What's the next conspiracy theory? I want in!

[Rwise]

Because I have not found a cord long enuf to go across town! That and AT&T sucks monkey b~s, they even sent me a bill for NOT being a customer, no I did not pay it!

[Gingerbeard]

Geez. I'm old enough to have been told to take a quarter with me when I went out, just in case I needed to make a phone call. I guess you don't have telephones across your town?

[Rwise]

All the pay phones are gone, one of those old boxes bought me a tank of gas when I ran out with no funds (or card), the return coin box was running over all the way to the coin slot!

[Gingerbeard]

I'm the kind of guy who puts things together. I am putting these things together.
Post 681.4 you said AT&T sent you a bill for not being a customer. Now, you say they paid for your gas. Who did what first? You stuck it to them, or they stuck it to you. Either way, someone really got stuck.

[Rwise]

Those that got stuck were the many peps that shoved a quarter in there and lost it not getting to make there call for a bag of weed. Each one of them donated to my need for fuel. There wasn't enuf for beer too.

[Rwise]

And they had already realized they lost their coin, wrote it off and found another phone to stick another quarter in so they can get that bag of weed.

[Rwise]

This kind of crap, and I was shopping there, no more!

GrowGeneration IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

He has an extensive career in penny stock failures alongside his father, Abraham Salaman, a twice-convicted fraudster with ties to the mob.

Maaaannnn... you caught me at a time Rwise .
I no longer have a problem doing business with criminals, for, I am an American capitalist with world purchasing power! Giving my money to scumbag American criminals is low on my list of poor personal morality.
My house is stuffed with goods from countries with zero human rights. From countries my country hates. Made from a myriad of forever products. Made from minerals gathered through serious earth fucking. Probably full of asbestos, radon, and Camp Lejeune water.
As long as the customer service is adequate, I will do business with these people.

[Rwise]

So you dont mind having your credit card info sold on the black market?

[Gingerbeard]

What credit card? If some mafia fuck tries to use my information, all the other organized crime types will laugh their organized asses off. It would be the financial ruin of the mafia. Thier seller rating would drop to zero. I get your point. But, really, I am not someone who worries about getting ripped off for my information. I am no one who owns nothing.
If someone in another country steals from me, that is the end of it. Ain't jack for jack to be done about it. I'd just have one more reason to hate some entire damn dirty foreign country from somewhere else I never wanted to go, anyway!
If someone in this country steals from me, there is a chance to get remunerated through fraud laws and watch the thief get ass raped by an angry pre-op transvestite guard in a federal pen.
My neighbor just laid into me about getting ripped off a few times, domino, online. She is the poster child of beautiful human beings who are targets for scams. My god how naive! Recent, first gen immigrant. Middle age. Neo-techno. Nurse at the VA. Supports family back home. <5'-0" <100lbs. Timid. Lives alone. Blesses and prays for people. I felt like a turd for weeks because I was unable to drive the 110 miles to get her to LAX at 5:30am. The people who ripped her off need to be set on fire. Extinguished. Then set on fire again.
Shit ain't the way shit used to be, man. You could tell when the guy at your door wasn't the real Avon lady when he told you your shampoo brand by the smell when you opened your door.
Anyway. A good thing is that people are beginning to be sentenced to longer terms and are being caught more frequently.
I was already pissed off when you posted Rwise and am super baked. I'll bash on bad actors all day. But it is night and I need to go to bed. Probably wind up deleting this in the morning, anyway. Thanks for letting me rant on your rant.
