Bitch, Rant, Complain...

[KCALB SIRAY]

I hate Christmas movies. Every single time I se a parent tell therte kid there is no Santa, i want to rip there effin head off. Not because I believe in Santa, it's just that they are about as smart as a box of rocks. Maybe it's just me, but they were written by idiots as well. If there is a Santa in the movies, and the parents don't believe in him, how can he come into a house, leave presents for the kids and the parents don't question the extra presents under the tree the next morning? WTF, they drink too much egg nog or something?

I like some Christmas movies. Like National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Chevy Chase is GREAT. And then there is the Charlie Brown Christmas. It's just classic. Like, what, 30+ years classic now? But the majority of them do portray Santa in a bad way. The post office in general sucks. They have all these rules in place to help protect everybody, but it is like a condom. You're still gonna get F*ck*d and end up with a bad case of OUCH when it's all done. And there is no real satisfaction with it either.

And then there are all those fat people driving with their bodies as close to the steering wheel as they can possibly get, so their arms don't get too tired while driving. If their car ever gets in a wreck, they will be squished, and the air bag will crush their chests, and brake their face pretty good.

And if their is such a health problem in the US, why are gymns so d*mn*d expensive? If they were free, and the goverment paid out to the gymn everytime a person went in, instead of the people paying out, I bet the hospitals would thin out QUICK! Junk food is cheaper than health food by a long shot, and everybody is poor. Wonder why everyone is getting so fat? Obesity is now the #1 disease in America. YAY! We beat starvation!

Who needs a gym?? I'm 70, and within 15lbs of my very trimmest weight. Now, cover your ears, young'uns, I have a 4-letter word here: work. I have never been in a gym, moving drywall and 2x4s around seems to work fine. My treadmill has to do with walking everywhere within range. My exercise bike has wheels on it, amazing concept.

Worst thing about work is that it gets stuff done, thereby generating the need for more work; it never ends.

Junk food is expensive! Apples are cheap. And if you cook your own food, not only are you healthier but you generate less garbage. Oh, no, there's another 4-letter word! Cook! But that leads to another one! Read! Read a cook book... another 4-letter word! My, I sure am a pottymouth today, eh? I don't remember the last time I had a burger, or a bag of chips, or a Coke, or a chocolate bar, and my memory hasn't failed that badly yet. I'm a fairly good cook, but my wife does most of the cooking (she spoils me). There are 40 or so spices in my kitchen, and I'm not afraid to use them...

So there is my rant: people are lazy: too lazy to work, too lazy to walk, too lazy to cook, too lazy to learn. Soon the only regular exercise people will get is acting as pallbearers to their (recently deceased) obese friends... ;-)

I'm tired of people thinking that because I'm overweight, I'm too lazy too cook,walk or work. I own my own company (electrical construction), and do all the work. I'm sorry that in the winter, I like warm food for lunch. I'm sorry that the medication that I take for anxiety (due to chronic Lyme Disease) slows my metabolism. Mostly I'm sorry that the high horse some people are on doesn't throw the rider more often.

One thing I want to bitch about is the NY Governor wanting to place special taxes on non-diet soda and other soft drinks including Gatorade and other sports drinks, and fast food because the people who drink and eat them are more likely to be obese and require increased medical care in the course of their lives.
However no mention is made of the people who engage in risky sex. A person who goes out and has casual, group, heterosexual, or homosexual sex is much more likely to contract a sexually transmitted disease, and possibly pass it on to others then I am causing increased medical costs be being overweight. Most blood pressure and cholesterol drugs are now generic and cost much, much less then HIV cocktails and herpes meds.
This is not to mention IV drug users, for whom there are methadone clinics and other forms of publicly funded detox and rehab facilities.

my yaris is the worst car in the snow ever. seriously, its ridiculous. i got stuck 3 times today, only in about 6 inches. maybe the tires are the factor but come on, my 84 tercel was a tank in the snow with 20 dollar tires. after getting out of being stuck and parking in my driveway, i started it and the tranny made a loud clunk. if it does it in the morning ill be piiiiiiiiiiiissed.

I hate mine in the snow too. I've never gotten stuck, just how it drives on the highway with snow on the road. I feel like I'm going to die the whole ride home. (an hour commute each way)

[kenkyd]

its manual, with goodyears and i didnt really rev it all that much. once or twice getting mad. but i went out now and started it, and tranny clunked. shut off and tried again, and tranny still clunked, tried a 3rd time and yeah. after it warmed up, and i started it again, no clunk. in 1st and to top of 2nd gear, hear a weird humming sound, might be just snow in wheel wells. but if i am in low gear and step on it, a slight clunking occurs. if it does it in the morning i will call dealer. would that be covered under warranty? (not saying i got stuck)

I hate the fact that my deli uses cheap napkins that fall part once they hit your hands or mouth. I used probably 20 napkins when I could have used only one or two thicker napkins. Cheap ass deli

Turn Signals....use them! I don't care who you are, where you're from, or if your foot grows out your nose at an alarming rate. Not interested in how it is used, how it's truned on, or what you call them. You could call them clickies, flashers, indicators, turn signals, toggle brights, thingamagiggies that light up, I don't care. Put your phone down, call your girlfriend back because Billy just asked Laura out and your big brother is dating Laura, who really likes your BFF's little brother Jeremy, because he's so not going out with you after the pool party incident, ohhhh myyy effing GOD! Use the damn turn signals.

i almost never use turn signals. but i also dont go cutting people off. i am more careful than many drivers due to my job(auto accident claims) so i dont even watch for blinkers, i watch tires, just for those people that u are suggesting. but not all people who dont use turn signals are bad people..

Sorry, bobselectric, I don't see why you take my comments personally. If you have a disease that alters your metabolism, that's one thing; if you fit my description and have no excuse, that is something else. I would also think that diet is vitally important to you, so that you would be cooking for yourself and eating properly. I know people with Krohn's, and their diet regimen is strict indeed.

I see the people generating a sweat walking from their car the the McBloaters (or its drive-through), and ordering burger, fries, and a large drink (non-diet), then find themselves trying to access the medical system; they just make me angry. Bitch, rant, complain...

It isn't that I have taken your comments personally, there are many reasons why we are as we are.
It seems that every new years, when most people make their resolutions to work out more, or lose those pesky extra pounds, that folks (not meaning you, just in general people)make comments as to why you should follow their two or three week old lead and "hit the gym" or "try this diet". Stick with it and then walk a mile in my shoes- that way you'll be a mile away and I don't have to hear some of the same crap all the time

I appreciate the concern healthwise- sometimes the medicine is as bad as the disease. I no longer freak out uncontrollably (or have those violent impulses---JK) but I carry twenty five pounds more than I am comfortable with.

No offense taken, also none implied. All friends here...at least till the meds run out
