What's bugging you? (2012)

[splitterpfj]

My internet connection has been bugging me.

I didn't invent Facebook...

Yeah, but neither did Zuckerberg.

We learned today that my S.O.'s eldest sister has some kind of malignancy in her lung. I don't think she knows what kind yet, but gelatinous fluid on one of the lungs is what got the doctors wondering. She and her husband are longtime chain smokers - longer than I have been alive, and I'm in my mid-40s. They are very nice people, but I'm sorry to say I know them less well than the rest of the family because just being around them gives me respiratory distress.

 

Apart from this news just being flat out bad, I find myself kind of wondering, what did you think was going to happen after all that smoking. I feel some guilt for thinking so, yet I'm pretty sure it's what the rest of the family has already been thinking. We'll find out on Memorial Day weekend at the next family gathering. Anyway, that's my bug for now.

At some point, the piper comes calling to those who choose to smoke. I have a hard time feeling bad for those that have taken the risk for so long, knowing that some day, it will probably end bad.

 

The people I feel bad for are the people who get cancer, but there is no known reason for it to happen...

 

This is nothing against your family member hawing, just a general statement...We've all been touched by some sort of cancer in our families... Sometimes, you expect it, sometimes it is a shocker, but it all sucks.

Community being renewed, but with Dan Harmon being fired. What's the point of renewing a series with a unique creative voice and firing the creator? This is truly the darkest timeline.

Ditto. Dan Harmon is the soul of community. I'd almost rather see it canceled.

[NeedMoreFans]

Not only that, but I heard Community has moved to Friday night. I know in this day in age, we can watch it whenever we want online, but Thursday is one of two nights I'm normally not busy. If I can't keep up with Modern Family, how will I do with Community?

Not sure where I should post this, but I lost my wallet the other day, and fortunately somebody turned it in and I got it back. I was going to give the person some money for returning the wallet, but it seems whomever found it, took the liberty of giving himself a reward from my wallet earlier.

Whoever turned it in may have found it empty. Person A helps himself to your money and tosses your wallet on the ground. Person B finds your wallet and turns it in. Person A = Criminal loser. Person B = Good samaritan.

 

Just a possibility.

I'm really beginning to be bugged by the Brewers. I think it's time for me to take a week or two off...

which begs the question: do you still give $20 to the dude who found your wallet on the off chance he found it and didn't steal anything?

 

but i agree with you, i think someone who steals cash from it isn't also going to turn around and track you down to hand it back. it's more effort than any criminal is going to make, plus it would add the extra guilt of seeing the face of the man whose money you'd just stolen.

Allergies have started. Taking allergy pills and my eyes are so red I am worried that the interview committee I am meeting with in the morning will think I am high.

I think you're right that its most likely a different person who took the money, but whether the person who turned it in actually took the money or not, he would probably say he didn't so I'd be left to surmise anyways.

 

I could track the thief by the 2 dollar bill he stole that I'd been hanging onto for years

There is a newer commercial for FatHead where a guy is choking on a chicken wing and the FatHead Justin Verlander comes to life and saves the choking man by firing a baseball into his chest, sort of like a Heimlich maneuver.

 

I don't if I'm bugged so much by the commercial as I am horrified.

 

First the choking guy's friends are just standing there while their friend is on a quick path toward death, then they have Verlander firing a ball right into the guy's chest. Little Leaguers have died from being struck by baseballs, and yet that's the punchline in this commercial.

 

FatHeads are marketed to fans of all ages, and it seems ignorant that they would advertise this way.

In a commercial for the recent "Three Stooges" film, I saw a nun fall off a rooftop...a fall that would certainly kill her in real life! These Hollywood producers must be stopped.

Around this time last year, the city cut down a tree on my terrace. They finally replaced the tree about 3 weeks ago. Along with getting a new tree, they removed the old stump, filled it, and seeded it with grass. Well, they only put enough straw down to cover about a quarter of the spot where they planted the grass. The spot gets full sun...from 10 AM-7:00 PM, so even though I water every night, it dries out quickly the next day if it's sunny. Seed that was under the straw is growing quite nicely. The area that was not protected is becoming a home to weeds, and no grass has germinated. It bugs me that the city did such a terrible job in reseeding that spot.

The general rule that I've found is that when landscapers plant grass, it doesn't grow. When I plant it, it does.

 

You're probably going to have to dig out the weeds and properly replant the part that isn't growing.

at least 30 hours of putting together some artwork down the drain because of a small paint splatter during final tough-ups (not to mention the cost).

The overuse of the word "amazing." That is all.

Speaking from the perspective of one who has worked either on or in close contact with a university campus for over 20 years, I fully agree.

I concur. I am most bothered by this when I pop in while my wife is watching an HGTV-type show about decorating/renovating, etc.

 

Every time the new room is revealed, the homeowner finds something that they are amazed by. Maybe it's a throw pillow, maybe it's a floor lamp, maybe it's a side table. Whatever it is, it is declared "amazing", often through tears.

 

I have never been amazed by an ottoman or a bowl of lemons. The rooms are often fine, and sometimes really great. But a grouping of furniture should not amaze anyone.

Epic.

 

This is the word whose actual meaning & impact has been so diluted recently that bothers me.

This is how I misread this.

My trips to the bathroom are seldom amazing or epic!
