What Annoyed You Today?

[Marcel]

Sorry to hear about that, Marcel.
I saw the news about the Tram incident in Utrect thought about you while I was seeing the news coverage.

Yeah that one hit close home

yeah, that one hit home hard. Both my wife and I have often used that particular tram.

But it's not what I meant here.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That just stinks.

What annoyed me today? Reading about yet another "reboot" of a movie or series.

Is there no originality left in movieland? Can't they come up with new ideas anymore? Do they really have to trash my childhood by remaking movies and tv series using the old characters and stories, but just reskinned with today's sensitivities? What's wrong with making a follow-on suitable for today's PC environment rather than trashing the old films?

It's easier to "reboot" a movie because the plot and characters are already established.

So for little effort (and imagination), the producer can cash in on an already successful franchise.

How very true. Unfortunately we see way to much of the same thing in the music industry these days.

Frost is starting to come out of the roads. Very painful for the next 2-3 weeks. I need to start planning my vacations for this time of year

Frost? We ain't got no stinkin frost in south Louisiana. We did have two months ago during winter when it went below freezing three times.

 

[Shortround6]

frost in Louisiana, maybe

Frost heaves in Northern areas.

If they are lucky, if not

Those last two don't appear weather related. The highway Dept. builds roads like that and Bubba's tire truck looks like an axle shift. I'm at the I-10/I-12 line so we don't get much winter weather like the others a little farther north of the Interstate line across the south.

The Bottom photo is from Ellsworth Maine and the driver reported hitting a pothole just before the the "accident"
I have lost 3 tires in 2 years on a Hyundai Velocity and was lucky I didn't loose a rim on potholes in New Jersey.

I will let other "northerners" relate their experience with "frost" which can refer to the ground freezing to a depth of 2-3 feet in the US (Canada may have rules of it's own)

Every year the frost heaves my garage to the point that the main door won't open and the side door won't close.

The frost had to be very severe there. As we may notice even the road shrank. Anyway the distance there has been reduced.

That's exactly what the doctor prescribed. Knock on wood (no pun intended, well yeah there was) but so far no side effects.

You might wanna try a ketogenic diet before going on those drugs. The long-term affects of both those drugs isnt good.
Give it a shot. If the diet doesn't work you can always go on the drugs later.
I had the same issue A1C and blood sugar to high, although it wasn't to out of hand yet. Anyway the ketogenic diet fixed me right up. At least so far so good.

Car accident last night, 4th time this car has been rear ended. Luckily I had installed a 2" Class 2 receiver hitch that stick out about 3" from the rear of the vehicle. That took the brunt of the hit, but carp still went flying inside my car and my head whipped back a little. Neck and shoulder muscles are a little tight this morning.
The guy has almost hit me a minute or so earlier when he cam flinging into a blind intersection, it was dark but I think he had a stop sign.
Asked him if he wansn't paying attention, and he said he had a tough day with working 2 jobs, running a business, and going to college? I said that doesn't excuse you from paying attention!!! I'm sure he was on the cell phone.
