Things that annoy me (15 Viewers)

I'd prefer 'sweaty balls' to that much snow

It all comes down to what one is willing to tolerate, this is extreme, that's for sure, nothing like it for 11 years, then 49 prior to that, so there you go.

We've had the worst heatwaves here for over 50 years, makes me wonder if 'climate change' is real, may be time to move to cooler climes, but where

On to another topic from my morning reading that I just find nutso, actually 2 things:

Admittedly I didn't follow the Olympics because frankly, for me, it doesn't interest me, that said, here are 2 IMO head scratchers:

A. Men's Hockey - the poor sportsmanship of Canada - the comments in the press after losing are frankly classless. The better team won that night period, just like any other sporting event.

B. Men's Hockey - in the US, there are a large voice of people now basically crapping on the Men's hockey team because they were invited to the White House and they were happy about it. Hello, it doesn't matter who is President, getting invited should be an honor no matter which party is in the seat. Just absolute derangement if I have ever seen it. The team won, they are being honored for it, again, period.

Add the US women's hockey team for turning down the White House invitation due to "previous commitments." Wonder why the women are not in the public eye nearly as much as the men's team.

If there are Americans trapped in Mexico due to the violence who can't get out, why are Americans still being allowed to travel there? There was even a news report on about college kids who are planning to head down for Spring break. A bad idea even under normal circumstances but completely nuts right now.

Yeah, saw those reports. Was surprised at the numbers of Americans going there. Seems very carless, and then of course they expect the US to come and rescue them if they get into trouble.

Often same with people who hold dual citizenship, such and such a place they always consider their home, but when something happens......

I have made this point before-we have regressed in terms of maturity over the past 70 years, and that is a symptom of the childishness that obtains in our society.

I have accumulated 5 days worth of orders that needed to be dropped off at the post office in either East Taunton or on the Green in the center of town, schlepped out of here at 9:00AM to go to the East Taunton Post Office, the roads were a pooeshow, combination of a slushy mess or worse yet, packed down icy snow, a combination of a bobsled run and a downhill run, slick as Hell, get to the East Taunton Post Office; it's closed, not shoveled, not plowed, nothing, no one there..............turn around and head to the Post Office on the Green, another bobsled run/downhill run to Taunton Center...............that Post Office is closed too, again parking lot not plowed, a guy sitting in his car said "The distribution center on Myles Standish Road is closed too, no mail coming in or going out of Taunton.

I ended up going all the way to Westwood, a 45 minute drive, I used to go there back when my Mom was alive and I'd check up on her a couple of days a week then go to the Westwood Post Office, they were open. Westwood got "just" a foot and a half, but their roads were down to the asphalt everywhere, they did a top shelf job plowing in that town.

Not for nothing, but this is ridiculous; I can 1000% understand being closed on Monday, give them a pass on Tuesday too, but today/three days later? And no lots plowed yet? So are they planning on just taking the rest of the week off and keep both post offices and the distribution center closed? So zero mail coming in or going out of the city of Taunton?

If it was 1826 or 1926 or even 1978, ok then, whatever, but it's 2026, this is unacceptable.

A disgrace is more like it; the mail situation is nothing compared to those with no power, don't get me wrong, but what a mess.

Oh and my friends in Taunton and Fall River are still stranded, no sign of a plow for three days now.

Myself and two friends of mine told them if they need anything in the way of food or God forbid, prescriptions picked up, just let us know, we'll get to them no matter what.

Again; a disgrace, God forbid there is a health emergency from someone going face down in the show while shoveling what is no longer snow and more like cement.

Nothing I'm saying is going to appease your customers...if you're worried about that...

"WHERE IS MY ITEM?" complaint...

and I have no idea what your shipping policy is or how fast you advertise to get it in the mail...
but Ebay won't allow negative feedback...or give you a "strike" on a slow delivery due to inclement weather and post office's being closed...
it's literally an act of God...lol...
hopefully they will open soon...and you can rent a U-Haul to schlep a weeks work of deliveries out...

Thank Christ I did not select the one day shipping window, I'd be screwed had I done that, mine is 4 days just for situations like this. My mountain of orders dates back to Saturday and Sunday, neither of those days count in the 4 day window, so technically, I had until tomorrow to get them all out, they went out today, so I'm good.

It stopped snowing two days ago, the streets are still a mess and essential businesses like the post office and city hall are not open.

This state does not have enough money to pay for snow removal, they are too busy here setting aside taxpayer money for illegals, this is a sanctuary state don't forget.

If you talk to the man/woman in the streets, people around here are steaming mad over this, the next election is going to be a bloodbath; you reap what you sow.

I've given up on my state. One party has done nothing but raised taxes and is among the highest in the country with everrything but the people in my state keep putting the same kind of people in over and over. I don't get it unless they are just stupid.

I can answer for him - San Antonio, admittedly it is pretty hot there and muggy. Personally, I like North Austin and suburb/rural Dallas.

Tom & Mike:

Yup, we live just north of San Antonio proper most of the time where it is forecast to be 92 degrees today. Our place in Austin shows a forecast of 90 so not much of an escape for an hour drive either.

Not bad for a summer in most of the US but it is still February and supposedly winter.

With that being said I do love Texas for a long list of reasons. If you took out the weather it is the perfect place to live.

Me too; people talk a good game, but when election time comes, the same morons will be back in power............imagine people can't get to work, can't get to the grocery store, nothing, these are US CITIZENS that are basically being ignored, when they call to find out when help is coming, the reply is "At some point, we can't say for sure" meanwhile all the illegals in this state are taken care of.

Disgusting.

Well we got 3.5 inches. Still cancelled my Monday morning flight on Sunday before one flake fell. My wife told me mail not until Tuesday and then every other day this week. Asphalt showing by 9am Monday morning. Broken State. And yes our State seeming puts illegal aliens first too in a lot of areas. Absolutely wrong but somehow people allow it and vote the same idiots in. I just don’t get it.

Annoying. Paid disruptors in local politics. Spent my week with data center projects in public meetings in local counties. 90 percent of the so called local citizens who spoke against were not actually local with most not even from the State. A reasonable person has to start asking what the heck is going on.

Imagine that simpleton in the giraffe get up is a paid protestor, been arrested in several places, that anti SOTU protest he ran was more like a bad SNL skit.

Or the other fruitloop black woman who was singing, again with the singing.

PLEASE make it stop.
