The Holidays is a hell of a time for your car to take a dump. Mine always breaks down in the dead of winter, when you have to crawl under it in mud and snow and 20 below zero. Its always something you have to lay under it in the snow and ice to fix it, never under the hood stuff. Under the hood stuff only happens in the good weather.

Whilst im on the cinema, i also hate it when a group of loud and annoying youngsters sit right behind you when there are loads of other seats available and then proceed to giggle and whisper and kick your seat throughout the film
I hate that also.

I got a notice from my bank that they are going to charge a 7 dollar a month fee. But I kind of expected it, all the other banks are doing it. Every time you turn around some SOB wants your money. Higher gas prices, food prices, everything is going up except wages, and they are going down. Screw it, if they take all my money Ill just go on welfare and let the goverment support me. :x :x :x

Yep i have to say thats very annoying. I dont understand why teens feel the need to sit right behind me when there are so many other free seats, and then to start kicking my seat and laughing during the movie, is it just a fear of being alone or what? :?

Thats why i always try to catch a later film- less annoying 15yr olds around

I can feel your pain, Big Huey, to an extent, except that I live in Southern California where we don't have any snow and ice to crawl around in to fix the car.

My car just took an 1800 dollar dump a week ago. Merry Xmas, right? I hope things get better from here for both you and I.

Merry Xmas to you, too, Mel. 1800 dollars, that sucks. Im a little farther south than you, no snow here below the border either. I dont miss it one bit.

So someone in our town robbed the baby Jesus figure from a crib displayed outside the town cathederal, and if that wasnt bad enough, I heard it was just handed in to the Guards...broken in several parts. What on earth is to be gained from such an act? I suspect drugs as if it was just blackguarding it would still be intact- either that or just scumbags, some people are sick. :twisted:

@ Fran, it wasnt me im afraid.

Guys like that if they catch them, should be broken up in little peices.
