Coyotes can be really neat.
At Midnight, in rural or small town New Mexico, a chorus can is spellbinding!

Pet peeves, lord where to start...

charley · 02-28-2019, 09:05 AM

I have no real pet peeves... hmmm...

trying to think of one... oh, got one...

My favourite Japanese weekly goto-resto for a nice feast upped its price a few months ago on all its menu items (actually didn't really bother me !), but...

The last two time I went there, the tuna sashimi was so anemic looking, it didn't even look like tuna; so I mentioned it, and the sushi chef came over to my table, and said: "yes!!, it's tuna!!"...

I smiled, nodded, and said ty, and ate my two pieces, and everything else in my deluxe bento box, and left... almost perfect!!

They sneaked in a cheaper cut of tuna - bah!

So, have been researching online for a replacement resto, and I will be trying out a new resto today

Now, I have a list of restos, so I guess that is my only pet peeve, because I will have to go out and try them out, so as to settle on one; all that effort, and I have no idea about a truly good replacement.

As you can see, I am so spoiled that the slightest deviation in my lovely paradisaical routine is vaguely a "pet peeve", since I expect my feast to be perfect!

Rereading the above, I realize the extent to which there are people starving in the world, and there I am having such silly expectations.

Moths. It's especially annoying when I find one of my favourite sweaters with moth holes.

If anyone has tips other than stinky moth balls please let me know.

Stone-Butch · 03-27-2019, 06:48 PM

to rid your closet of moths hang small cotton bags of lavender crystals or bay leaves.

to rid your closet of moth eggs hang cedar balls

One repels moths, the other kills their eggs

they should be used together.

hope it helps.... works for me.

In TV shows or movies where they shoot scenes with men standing at urinals or women sitting on a toilet!

REALLY REALLY... you tell me there isn't another location that that scene can't be shot?

Sidebar: And if you notice the men SELDOM wash their hands afterwards! Remember that the next time you're sitting at a bar at Happy Hour and you go to reach into the bowl of mixed nuts or other such goodies...

Ha! lol I just saw that in last night's episode of BILLIONS. The character's a jackass so I was not surprised. Then I wondered if it was written that way or if the actor made the I'm a disgusting pig! choice on his own. Either way … ick!!

If you keep a watchful eye out you'll also notice scenes in Law & Order, The Sopranos, and many others!

Given that a lot of cis men consider their penises a God-given right, I'd be surprised if many of them consider washing their hands at any time... kinda like washing their hands after touching a statue of Jesus.

I never shake hands with men: whether they be 2 or 100 ( especially if they are 100, lol ). It can get awkward if the proffered hand is out there hanging limply but really, I refuse to be bullied into an apologetic or explanatory stance. "I don't want to shake hands; nothing personal. I just don't want to."

Not good enough? Bring me your"sanitary" hand-wash kit, a paper towel and
then we'll talk .
