What grinds your gears then?

The State Park is cool, too.

[Uncle Joe]

couldn't have said it better. This sounds like my "religion."

Sounds like mine, too....ATHEISM.

How I feel whenever I mention on the Internet that I'm a Christian

[Steel2Velvet]

For the Christian, the only opinion that should matter is that of Christ.

It quite agitates me that a lot of great modern albums will only be pressed on vinyl in the UK and I'll have to play shipping out the wazoo if I want to import them.

Case in point:

Admiral Fallow's "Boots Met My Face"

Ed Sheeran's "+"

just to name 2 I can think of off the top of my head.

I messed up with my fantasy baseball roster

Johnny Cueto was starting today but I just checked my line-up and he was on the bench. Nothing I could do because it was an afternoon game. What is with baseball and afternoon games in the middle of the week? Don't people have jobs?

[miamisammy29]

You see? Now, if you traded him to my team when you had the chance, you wouldn't have had this problem.

[Rayzor]

Ironically, that is true. I have a large pitching rotation. I've noticed most of you use 4 relievers, but I only use 3. The rest are starters. I'm constantly switching pitchers around, but so far that formula has worked.

I'm upset today tho because I usually make adjustments 2 - 3 days in advance, but I guess that trade with RJ reset my roster somehow (half my batters were benched?)

[RonJonSurfer]

When the new players came over, obviously the ones I traded were no longer in my line-up and the new ones didn't automatically go into the line-up. I had to put them in to replace the traded players...other than that it seemed to work well.

[Rayzor]

My roster got muddled up a bit more than that. I was only expecting the 2 roster spots to be empty, but for some reason I was also missing 2 other players and the changes I'd made the day before were reset to what they were 2 days prior. Strange...

[Skuff]

Getting one of my best friends to switch into my AP Chem class so I'm not alone is proving to be difficult...

[Ombre Vivante]

Went out with some colleagues last night for some drinks. Things were going great until I got totally FRIENDZONED! outta left field. I was going full-force too, so that abrupt stop felt as if I got the wind knocked outta me.

Another facepalm moment in the lyfe of Bitter Almonds

[Ombre Vivante]

Oh, and I found out I didn't need to buy the book in my CE class, so I just blew 60 bucks for nuthin'

[Shawna]

Things were going great until I got totally FRIENDZONED! outta left field.

'splain.

[Ombre Vivante]

Hahaha. I paid a little extra attention to a girl I fancied and asked her to lunch with me a few times a week to gauge if there was mutual interest: the conversation goes great every time, there's shared laughter, body language and non-verbal cues are coordinated, all the signs are there, and then... I make my move to ask her out. BAM! She says we're just friends in a sneak ninjamove karatechop and kick to the head into the abyss in front of everyone, and totally dodges the answer by trying to set me up with one her friends; that was adding insult to injury. I quickly stomped out that fire by laughing and telling her we're not friends, nor would I want to waste my time pretending to be one. Then, I ordered another round of beers for everyone at our table

[TheLizard]

I can't see why she wouldn't be interested in someone with such maturity and grace.

[Ombre Vivante]

Maturity and grace in this instance would've been an invitation for her to walk all over me. I know how she treats her "friends." That was a double-negative and reads a little off [even for sarcasm], by the way

[TheLizard]

If you knew she treats her friends crappy, why would you want to date her?

[Ombre Vivante]

Because she treats her boyfriends differently

[TheLizard]

In that she has a vagina that boyfriends have access to? I'm sure there's a vagina out there for you that doesn't require getting ******* on to access.

[Ombre Vivante]

Exactly, so you do get what I was saying. I never led on that I wanted to be just friends

I bought a new Canadian flag to replace the one in the front of our home. Brought it home, unwrapped it, and it's made in GD China. My Canadian flag, was made in China.

[Ombre Vivante]

Sometimes, if a price is too good to be true, then it is... or it's a crappy bootleg from China. If you're specific about what you want, then you should probably buy vintage/used stuff that is still in good shape, which was most likely made in North America

[pinkstones]

Everything is made in China. Companies exploit the cheap workforce there. Why pay a Canadian X number of dollars to make that flag, when you can pay some Chinese kids 1/10th of that to make the same thing?

I don't agree with it mind you, but that's the economic breaks. Not just for you, but for lots of countries.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm eating Chinese food made right here in the US just to get even.
