And not every state does it. Talk about confusing! It is a useless throwback like my other gripe:

The electoral college! Some say it is what makes our democracy American, but it is grossly flawed, and gives too much power to a few states. It ends up serving special interests, and undermines the definition of democracy.
I think one vote should be counted as one vote.

I have yet to encounter a state that doesn't participate in daylight savings time... and I've been to ~40 of the great states in this country... care to elaborate on which one(s) don't?

I believe Arizona and Hawaii do not.

[Lordvincent 90]

That's dumb.. (i have not been to either of those states)
Learned something new today

[TheAtheistReverend]

I'm "The Android Guy" at work and answer everyones questions about smartphones and tech in general.
I hate it when someone asks me something like "Can you help me get all my pics onto my SD card so I can put it into a photo printer at the mall?" and I happily oblige, but somehow when I copy and paste, they disappear.

Eff...

And, her phone isn't rooted, so I can't use any of the recovery apps on the market.

At least I have AF!

[BabyBlues]

I can't stand when tv shows say things in Spanish but don't have a translation!!!

[zuben el genub]

Free at last!!!

Political ads off the air!

There really should be some kind of restrictions on PACS buying airtime or their ads vetted. They do have a right to an opinion, but make them put in a disclaimer that the ad is an opinion only and not necessarily all fact. Those groups are the ones with the nastiest name calling I've ever seen.
I live in a swing state, so we got the worst of it.

Just as an aside, since I seem to use my phone differently than most, won't sign up for on air stuff or even reverse 911, I didn't get any election pests except that stupid survey scam. (They claimed they wouldn't give up until everyone answered) I never answered, and don't have voicemail. So minus one for them.

I thought it was funny. Living in a home with 5 boys..... flatulence facts are very necessary!

Have a great evening

[mysticspiral]

Ya I only live with 3, but sometimes it feels like alot more. you also ,have a wonderful evening.

[EarlyMon]

I raised both and from what I have seen, gas giant jokes cross the boundaries.

Then again, I have a granddaughter who looks at the Three Stooges as comedy geniuses.

Very smart girl.

[wyndslash]

Using terms such as first world and third world. I prefer developed and developing countries.

Oh my.... my children still believe "good girls don't do that", and gentlemen don't in front of ladies. Funny when the 20 year old comes home and tells me his date did and by golly, in front of him! He was modified! Lol, needless to be said, she didn't make the cut.

[zuben el genub]

My daughter never cared. She drove a school bus and would wait until the engine had a load on to let go.

She always managed to get the Vulcan. The whole thing was his fault anyway.
"pull daddy's finger"

She preferred Bill Cosby (the comedy records) and Cheech and Chong.

Moving stuff off the passenger seat of my car.

I'll be giving someone a ride, asking them to wait a second while I move my stuff, and the oafs will say, "Oh, I don't mind," while trying to park their rears on my stuff. Two things ensue - informing them that I mind, and never offering them a ride again.

[alsaces daddy]

I always help the person move the stuff, but the clutter on the floor is a different story.

People that know you take great pride in your personal property yet they seem to do everything they can to disrespect it.

Just tell them you forgot to toss the baggie with the dog doo in it if they don't want to wait.

Wow mysticalspirit I am really sorry if I hurt you that is reallly not my style.

I can be a real clown at sometimes and sometimes sadly at these times I can be so misunderstood that it hurts.

And now I don't mean this in any offensive way at all so I guess I will just go ahead and say it.


And I hope these next few words make you smile!


Sorry about hurting you!

Regards

I hate when people use their past circumstances to play victim. Past! It's past people, gone, not here! You can learn a lesson and move on. Nobodies life is perfect. I am (essentially) a single mother of a big family. I pay my own bills, cook, clean, discipline, love, heal, read, book appointments, do homework, give love advice, comfort, scold, and laugh with my children daily (sometimes all before i go to work in the morning) Would life be easier had I not had them...who knows, who cares they are mine and that's it. I went to school while having them, no one gave me an education I earned it. You can't live your life today, if you are always focused on what is past! Grow up, be a responsible adult, take care of business, and stop whining!

You are who you are because THAT'S ALL YOU WANT TO BE!

Ok, whew, feel better!

Oh and 1 more thing..... stop complaining because your fat... get up, cook a meal and move your A$$.... You earned your waistline, and I've earned mine. Through hard work!
Ok ok ok now I'm done lol

Yes... It's my room, my view. Love it! Although sometimes I need less wine. (but whose counting ) lol

[zuben el genub]

Wish mine looked like that. Xmas coming, so projects all over the place. Can't even find a mug of coffee at times.

Oh mine is a mess right now.... although it's what one would call "organized chaos" . Xmas is a messy time of the year for my lair... Oh well.

I apologize for what i'm about to say , just know this is only a feeling. I came home last night and I look down at my scanner/printer. and it has liquid pooled up on it and dripping into it. thats only the first part and at this moment beginning to feel some emotion building up. Then I look up there sits my laptop, Yes my laptop! it was sitting in a pool of juice, now I'm angry, I open up the laptop ,juice inside it. . I took apart my laptop !!!! how the he double hockey sticks. I'm 99% positive it was my 11 yr. old son. we just had a one on one about a simular situation a few days before. now i'm feeling I want to choke him till his eyes pop out. Now I feel uh um uh idk . A bit discouraged...:bangh ead::ban ghead:

[Metroid Prime]

It's all good MS you don't really mean that.
I hate it when I play custom games with my friends and they get all mad and start getting nasty with each other. It's just stupid custom games!

[mysticspiral]

I hear ya and understand. I didnt yell at him or even get mad. surprisingly enough. but I was sure feeling it.

lol Sometimes you just want to yell but you can't. Accidents happen.

[mysticspiral]

lol .

[Metroid Prime]

I also hate it when my order at a fast food place is wrong. I know sometimes they can be new or it might be busy, but you pay to for your order and I think you should get what you paid for.

[mysticspiral]

that jyst happened to me other night .my oldest son and I were walkin through grocery store and this older gentleman kept walkong by us sayin stuff I thought he was talking to us at first .we were even in the checkout at same time.. then we left store . and this crazy fellow pulls out of parking lot and is driving down the main st at night with his headlights off. . idk sometimes

[Metroid Prime]

The freaks come out at night.
Um, I just plain don't like rudeness.

[mysticspiral]

agreed, most definetley.

[Metroid Prime]

I also HATE it when people personally attack me or make personal jokes.
That kind of stuff is childish.

[mysticspiral]

does it ever seem like certain things in life or certain situations im life .... are like a rerun . or its happened before.-? and u could swear they have, but ur told that its not possible. this question I suppose is on a more serious note if you dont mind me asking?

[mysticspiral]

I absolutely most definetley agree with that one especially. ive had my share of people like that . it can also be hurtful in a way. .

[mysticspiral]

I HATEHATE when a person will sit and be in same room and converse with another about me like im not even there.

[mysticspiral]

Hello . im sitting right by you .. grrrrr

[Metroid Prime]

It is hurtful. You mean like Deja vu? I've had that happen before.
I hate it when I take the twisty tie off of bread and when I go to look for it I can't find it.

[mysticspiral]

Im so tired , cant fall aaleep .gonna look like heck tomorrow.

[Metroid Prime]

lol You're going to look like heck tomorrow if you don't

[mysticspiral]

ya like dejavu I suppose. it happens to me alot.there are times even where we were watchin the news and I say this is a rerun and im told not possible. then I say exactly what is ginna happen . then im told I must have heard or seen it somewhere . im not crazy damn it.
