N° 1 made me really angry years ago. In a hospital they gave me a therapist (!!) younger than my own son ! How could I tell my "childhood" to a child ? Crazy. Most of the other points I agree too.
I am gonna try to post a comment one more time grammie. For some reason I have problems posting on all blogs since I changed over. Do you? I was hoping I would see that on your list. :) Not really, just wanted to say I enjoyed your post today and have not commented as much cause the hassle of it gets on my one little nerve.
Hope you have a great day btw and I know you are getting excited and looking forward to Owen coming!!
Take care friend!
What about someone that coughs or sneezes without covering their mouth? That irritates me to no end. Expecially if I am eating!
Aside from slow drivers, the only real irritant in my life is me. But it wasn't until I gave up watching televised movie 'dramas' that this became so. If I'm not driving and not near any mirrors, I'm a very content human being.
