I have a hard time finding jeans in my size. Even fewer at a reasonable price. I found some a couple summers ago at B2 outlet so I try to make them last. I bought all 4 and they never got any more in.

Nothing made me angry today. I got today and tomorrow off work. Today I’ve just been relaxing inside while it’s freezing cold outside.

Because of the countless fudge shops that the floods of tourists come to in the summer, locals call them fudgies. They fill up stores, hotels, campgrounds, cause traffic jams. So in the summer, fudge is a cuss word.

I find those underhanded accusations of members of the community being stupid and immature for challenging your claims really rich coming from a person who shuts her eyes, stuffs her fingers in her ears and sings lalalalalal when being confronted with evidence that her claims are baseless, illogical and outright false. Someone who gets her "information" from websites that are known for reporting fake news and wild conspiracy theories that make it so hilariously easy to spot the lies.... Yep, that's smart and mature. ::)

Maybe you should heed your own advise and look at yourself. Ask yourself questions like: Why was I banned from another forum? Why do I have to ignore hard facts and logic and replace them with stuff I read on conspiracy theory websites that doesn't even hold up to light scrutiny? Why are so many people on different websites so eager to proof me wrong? How can all of them be THAT dumb while I'm THAT smart?

Blood pressure can change almost every moment, depending on thoughts, emotions, dreams, foods, activities..just so it does  not stay  UP all is OK....look at labels for high salt contents, steer of too much salt, but our body does need some... 

And I believe docs are too quick to test and say "it's high"...give the patient time to relax, do a couple tests at least when patient calms down from maybe the rush to get to the doc's office, and often it's white coat syndrome....docs love to put patients on their drugs, so be smart and take care of yourself first, read labels to sodium content and if a coffee and energy product drinker, cut way back...those energy drinks are loaded with sugars and caffeine.

The only thing that made me angry today was the bad vibes from the neighbors. They keep yelling things at me(bad things) behind the door for no reason. Then they are always slamming the front door. I can't believe this world is full of people like that. I haven't done anything to them. And they keep messing with me! I haven't said anything back to them I don't like to start trouble. So I'm leaving it at that. Good thing I'm moving in just 5 days! Woohoo!!

Having to wait almost two hours for a Windows Ten update to fully install. Normally I would be a good sport about something like that, but I had other things planned for the day (which thankfully, I finally got to). So I tried to be patient while waiting for the updates to finish installing. I felt I had to watch the computer screen in case something went wrong, which thankfully didn't happen.

Knowing how much my mother hates when people slow down before they make a turn, I noticed this as a guy was turning his car to go into the No Frills grocery store parking lot, my mother shouted out "TURN THE F--KING CORNER YOU A-HOLE!"! And I shouted out "YOU DUMB @$$!"!
My mother told me to "shut up!"! But I was already high on adrenalin and I'm not the one who was driving.

And last week somebody treated just a three-way like a four-way stop. I mean a three-way stop is just that a three-way stop.  And a four-way stop is a four-way stop.

I have always assume that motorist always slow down when turning left or right, it is only natural to gain control of the car for that maneuver. Think how the Formula 1 drivers take bends?

Something on FB. In the fanpages I follow, I often like to post a nice comment if a picture or similar post catches my eye. But if someone else replies to a comment by posting self-promotion and including a link to their page or group (and does this to multiple comments on the same post), then that might be considered trolling, which to me is tantamount to spam. This afternoon, one of my comments had three such replies to it, with my name tagged in all of them. So I decided to remove the tag from them and block the three users who posted them. I like to be able to enjoy the fan pages and not have to worry about so many inappropriate replies invading the comment threads.

Something on FB. In the fanpages I follow, I often like to post a nice comment if a picture or similar post catches my eye. But if someone else replies to a comment by posting self-promotion and including a link to their page or group (and does this to multiple comments on the same post), then that might be considered trolling, which to me is tantamount to spam. This afternoon, one of my comments had three such replies to it, with my name tagged in all of them. So I decided to remove the tag from them and block the three users who posted them. I like to be able to enjoy the fan pages and not have to worry about so many inappropriate replies invading the comment threads.
Could it had been this?

Thousands of Facebook users around the world reported issues with their news feeds on Wednesday as a glitch appeared to boost posts to celebrity fan pages and groups to the top of timelines.

From looking over that article, I can honestly say that this had nothing to do with what I was seeing.

At least no further soliciters replied to my aforementioned comment today. I just know that my support inbox has accumulated several new items lately.

I set up my Duran Duran Facebook group in such a way that nothing gets posted until I approve it to be posted.  It's helped me immensely to weed out spam posts.
I mean I got a post from someone wanting to know where everybody lives.  Check box, decline, block, and delete because I don't welcome posts like that and I advised participants not to post their personal information on there because it can be used by identity thieves.  >:(

I’m part of at least one FB group, including one that discusses classic pop-rock music. It has a number of admins who are good about enforcing the rules, keeping it clean. In the past few days, however, there have been a number of spam posts with inappropriate imagery posted. I’m not sure if anyone besides me has noticed them, but I’ve been quick to report them “to the admins”, and usually within a few minutes, said post is gone. It’s times like these when I wish I could be an admin so I could zap all the spam and block the losers who post it.

Update.. on this aforementioned FB group, the lead moderator made a post last night, indicating he was going to make the group private, due to having to get rid of tons of inappropriate pictures being posted by spammers. He also wrote that any future users wishing to join it would be screened to make sure they aren’t spam users. Many people already in the group, including myself, agreed that this would be a viable solution, and thanked him for doing this.

Slow traffic on the freeway this morning, on a portion of the road that doesn't usually have congested traffic. It made me late for work by five minutes.

Nothing today, but yesterday there's something that did. I'll mention it later.

No. That's not it.

I'm still not quite ready to discuss it.

So why post a hint then?

That is what makes me a bit cross (angry is too strong an emotion)

Sorry. Guess I should mention it now.

On Tuesday morning, I received my first traffic ticket. >:( I was trying to avoid getting to work late, and I wanted to bypass the long line of cars on the road leading to the street where my office is, but a motorcycle officer apparently caught me crossing the yellow hash lines right before the left turn lane begins, and he followed me all the way into the office parking lot. Then he did his procedure, which took 5 to 10 minutes.

So, this weekend, I’m going to go online and take care of the issue. (I have 90 days to get it cleared up, so the sooner I do it, the better.) I can do an online “traffic school”. The moral is that I should leave the house earlier so that I can avoid congested traffic.
