Short-Sighted, Stupid, and Insensitive

The Oregon Department of Transportation (hereafter referred to as ODOT) has outdone themselves, and not in a good way. http://www.ktvz.com/news/29284274/detail.html First off, if it really did cost $7500.00 a month for cleaning and maintenance –which I doubt– why did they not ever try to outsource the job to a private cleaning and maintenance service?

Starbucks ROCKS!

http://www.i-dont-think-so.com/?p=661 When I got home from Safeway I immediately called Starbucks to get the mess with the card straightened out.

I have to admit this made me mad since we have this standing ‘date’ and… Continue reading Do You Have Any DECENT Furniture?

Mother Revisited…Or MY Privacy Just Isn’t Important

I discovered tonight that my mother in her delusional rampage on Thursday night actually gave out my cell phone number to a friend and presumably to the Bend Police Department too. Did she have my prior permission to do so? Of course not. A little thing like MY privacy isn’t important to her, but if… Continue reading Mother Revisited…Or MY Privacy Just Isn’t Important

Being Nice Just Does Not Pay…..
