Rant And Vent Thread

[OkEd]

The tips of my thumb and two fingers on my left hand are blistered from having plastic melted to them last night ( beer + fireworks = trouble), my brand new Kubota lawn tractor keeps overheating for some unknown reason and it is raining... again.

BUT I'll be in PDC in a few days so it isn't all bad

We've had nothing but rain for the past few weeks over here on the other side of the pond. Playa del Carmen can't come round quick enough!!!

Did Someone say Rant!??


Suzie, I understand that the heat and the humidity can get old pretty quick.......But it is where I feel the most at home.

Stampede! The Greatest outdoor show on Earth!! Starts tomorrow!
NOT QUITE!!
What audacity to call the Stampede the "Greatest outdoor show on Earth". These people have obviously not travelled. I have seen better shows, parades, amusement parks in small towns in Europe.
How about the parade. It has got to be one of the biggest disapointment to tourist that come to Calgary. Where is the Pagentry, the spark, the stars??
What the hell are religious floats doing in the parade? They have no place there. It is obvious that the Stampede board wants to keep the parade an "all Canadian" affair as there are rarely any foreign guests save for some American marching bands.
You want a great parade? Drop the Canadian flag and pick up the phone. Call Disney to send a float and mascots, call some major colleges to send marching bands and acrobatic cheerleaders, call Vegas and get some "special guest" to be in the parade.....Ha, I can think of one Canadian float that would greatly impress tourists......Cirque du Soleil.

Get some world class musical talent! Not just some local unknown, Heck they can't even get their own Shania Twain!! Believe it or not they have one called Shania TWIN! Want Canadian? Call Cirque du Soleil...have them bring a float!

The streets:
The streets are full of dust and gravel left over from winter. What a shame. The main pedestrian mall and downtown sidewalks are full of "goo", Spit, stains. The city does NO street cleaning. Great impression for the tourists.

Due process, my arse

Oh, and I'm damp too

That SUCKS ... I am rant-y and rave-y and vent-y for you!

At least you aren't at work!

I'd almost say this qualifies as a "brag" and not so much a vent or rant.

Rant:
1) Work! We're perpetually short-handed, so I have to do my job and someone else's. It's been almost two weeks of doing that, and it's exhausting.

2) Steamboat Springs Police Department! It's illegal to be a teenager here - not just my opinion (I have a teenage son, so I might be partial), but also many others' opinion. In fact in the last election, the man that won the sheriff position used "unfair treatment of teenagers" as part of his campaign platform. And it's ongoing even so.

3) Lazy, able-bodied people who don't work and consistently expect others to help them out. Steamboat seems to have a high percentage of these. I have "friends" who don't work, and expect me to pay for everything because I have a job. Or who borrow money from me and then take their sweet time about paying it back, while still having the fundage to afford going out on the town every night. I am about to the point where I am going to tell these people, "I give up TIME to work, you have all the time in the world. Let me borrow some of that, OK?"

Whew, I feel slightly better.

I had to call my doctor because it lasted more than 4 hours.

[Heather]

No kidding, I feel your pain, Rita. All this incessant sunshine and heat is really getting to me.

It's just so wet in the yard that no one can go outside lest we lose them in the mire... we can't get into the areas that need weeding without sinking 6 inches down... and I hate the feeling of coming in all wet... my hair and clothes...

And we start renovations in 10 days... so maybe then I'll add that to the rant later on... right now I'm just happy something is actually slated to begin happening!!

There is not enough freakin rain here!!!! The grass is dryin' up, the ground is cracking...if it weren't for the lake irrigation, it would be a complete mess! We are about 12 inches down from normal.....

109 degrees here in northern nevada! I hate the heat! no precipitation in the forcast, just heat heat heat. Argh!

Good thing you did, because if a clot forms they often have to fillet it out.

[Kellyk]

Sorry for those in a draught but &*^%$#@ this rain is driving me CRAZY!!! This has been going on so long that I'm now convinced this is the way it's going to be for all of eternity

At least the kids shooting off fireworks in the middle of the street until 2 this morning had no danger of setting the trees on fire

Didn't you hear - it's all about me...
