\u2022 I don\u2019t mind the huge increase in people moving to this region; it\u2019s the trillions of bugs that get me. Is this the worst summer ever for bug and flying insect infestations? Three times recently, I flicked flying roaches off my neck or arms. Tiny fruit flies, gnats and no-see-ums are all over, even on my coffee maker \u2026 and we keep this house clean!<\/p>\n
\u2022 I\u2019m ticked off that a person wanted at least a minimum $25-an-hour wage. The rest of us old-timers worked for whatever the minimum wage was or even less back in our youth days and we weren\u2019t whiners or complainers. We just did it, figured out how to make ends meet and lived within our means. Like, get a grip.<\/p>\n
\u2022 I am ticked off at crossword puzzles where the answer should be \u201cmic\u201d instead of \u201cmike\u201d for microphone. The clue: Device for play-by-play. No announcer speaks into a \u201cmikerophone.\u201d They speak into a \u201cmicrophone\u201d\u2026 i.e., mic. This debacle is generated by so-called wordsmiths who never sat behind a mic.<\/p>\n
\u2022 I\u2019m ticked off that the United Nations doesn\u2019t recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, although it obviously is.<\/p>\n
The flip side<\/p>\n
\u2022 We went to breakfast at Jack & Mary\u2019s Restaurant on the corner of Curry Ford Road and Goldenrod Road. Our meals were awesome. Good old home cookin\u2019 with very generous portions.<\/p>\n
