What Annoyed You Today?

Well, Grandma had another fall, so we will be hosting her again while she recuperates. Just a broken wrist this time, but she can't use her walker while it heals. So she will need 24 hour support. Her health and mental acuity are both in decline, so we will be caring for her until we can no longer manage.
It's difficult to watch because she was such a vibrant and active woman in her earlier years. Cancer survivor. But nobody is immortal.

I wish your grandma a quick recovery.

Thumpalumpacus , Same with you, man.

I am really despising LED lightbulbs. They cost a fortune and don't last anywhere near their advertised lifespan. Maybe they mean the bulb will last that long in the box. Mine don't last any longer than the old incandescent bulbs.
At least they don't spew toxic mercury vapor through your house like CFLs when they go bad.

...and people who excuse ignorance by saying "it was before my time"! He died before I was born, but I still know who Bonar Colleano was!!!

LED bulbs should last a considerable length of time.

One major killer of LEDs, is line voltage. They're designed to operate within 110vac to 120vac and if the line current is above 120vac, it shortens their lifespan and it doesn't take much.

The other issue I've seen recently, is low quality manufacturers competing against high-end manufacturers.

I stick with GE, Phillips and Feit - anything else has been a disappointment.

Just remember it's all part of the building back better, strong economy!

Nope, you're wrong!!! They're planning for next embezzlement!

It makes 60 litres *20 cents = 1200 cents or 12 dollars extra pay ... You also have added taxes and something else ... I think it should be around 18 extra dollars for a full tank. Am I right?

No. This is America. We still use gallons. A full tank is 15 gallons, so about $3.00 extra.
Don't give them any ideas, though.

Thanks god I didn't count as Bazaar people do

Fuel with you guys is so cheap. We also got a raise of 10ct (euro) , but that's per liter. Still a far cry from the ~2.50 euro we paid last summer, but we already pay 1.90euro/liter at the cheaper pumps.

I`m quite annoyed about this thread which appears to imply its only possible to be annoyed today. Whereas I can remember being annoyed on MANY different days.

Due to some municipal construction works I went over a manhole cover that was not there before and fell off the electric scooter. I took half a bruised eyebrow, left the other half on the street and a sprained wrist.

Or several times per day.

Card carrying curmudgeon here.

Ouch! Hope you heal quickly.

Thanks. Think so. Fortunately was arriving at work earlier than usual and there weren't any car behind me

If you're lucky,$18.00 might get you 1/2 tank in a 1984 Toyota here in California. That's using the "cheap" stuff.
