That will undoubtedly be the best three minutes of my day!

A great annoyance for me is when people ask questions like, "where are they", "how much", "how many" "do they lay eggs" when one has posted a classified for 6 cockerels/roosters in, Granbury TX, free if you pick them up. Doesn't anybody actually read before replying? The second peeve is that...

My pet peeve is people off working, being productive, when they could be updating messages on the Backyard Chicken Forum instead!

Page 178/407 Pet peeve #2, people that are apparently taking weeks to catch up on a busy thread, but have to post a daily update of their status.

I'm finally in with a pet peeve. It's when people pronounce the tree nut "puh-cahn" as "pee-can". The immediately lose any credibility with me that they may have had.

I just take a higher dose of Uloric so I can keep eating more chicken livers ;) (That's a wink, right? Not a pirate with an eyepatch?) :)

Better than that much over the center line, though!

Yeah, no. Those don't classify as pet peeves. They are just wrong. 😐

The real answer to this is hard, and difficult for most. One has to be able to understand the medical issues themselves and manage their own care. I'm a walking medical disaster (mostly, though stable for now) and through a variety of issues I've had to manage my own care, both with civilian...

"Be vewy qwiet. I'm hunting wabbits." WABBIT TWACKS!! WABBIT HOLE!! "Kill dah wabbit, kill dah wabbit..."

Anytime you feel the need for that word-- and to really confuse people, just exclaim, "Hoover!" with feeling. You'll know, and that will be enough.

I have a real problem-- When it come's to classical music, I'm completely baroque-n.

I'm catching up! As you can tell by my comments-- I'm up to February and the low 100s. Only 300 more to go!

You could be smelling skatole, or 3-methylindole. It's a component of mammalian waste that is the normally reason for smelly #2. Or you might possibly smell hydrogen sulfide and other gasses which are not, thankfully, actual particulate matter... so, rest easy! ;)

It's interesting that the description given was complete intelligible and that there hasn't been a real shift in the formal, written, word in 130+ years.

I'm new here and all, but, sometimes? :)

The other factor that sometimes causes problems is that those that are around the mean in some particular area of expertise often assume that others have that same level of competence. I encountered that issue as a supervisor in technical support. Sometimes, the customer wasn't the issue, the...

Very early English teacher taught me that one should always use the full set of words followed by the parenthetical abbreviation. Thereafter, it was permissible to abbreviate that phrase. Over the past 20 years or so I've started using abbreviations after I've used the phrase, but I've given...

Interesting, I'm from a military background and the south. I have not seen the same level of offense from men. Though I can see it, somewhat, if one is near a military base. After all, the normal response from any sergeant to an enlisted that calls them "Sir" is "Sir!, What do you mean, Sir...

Not justifying, but just commenting: Is it possible that the gentle touch in close quarters is to acknowledge your presence? Sort of I'm here in this tight space, but I'm not coming any closer? Sort of a way to maintain some distance even though uncomfortably close?
