And on that subject ,, if ur watching a non major local network like Antenna , ME TV , basically showing back in the day programming, every commercial is either aimed @ the elderly (med-alert, insurance etc.) or low income peoples ( where to get a loan,cheap insurance, or cheap education classes OR those sad animal in cages commercials) over & over & over..drives me nuts. Their audiences are so small that they don't register much in ratings. So, instead of advertising a product for people to shop for, nearly all their ads have a phone number for people to call and make a direct purchase or donation. If the phone doesn't ring, the advertiser moves his money somewhere else. Precisely so...but it ruins the audience who have 2 endure it if they just want 2 reflect on their childhood via watching an episode of ..gee, lets say "The Love Boat" because said viewer wants 2 & knows he or she will get a chance 2 see a young Markie Post in a bikini..
I didn't want to leave blood on your carpet...

I hate rain that should be snow.
This rain we are having would have been at least a foot of snow.
The snow makes everything slow down and no one comes out/ Love it. Happy New Year DP. I agree with you. I prefer the snow just as long as I have power, water, and that I don't have to go out anywhere. Hope you are enjoying the Holidays! Exactly.... HiYa Beans....Happy New Year to you and your Family. I like watching the weather and planning around it so if a storm coming, I get what I need for a good round of cooking foods that go a long way with leftovers and a bunch of snacks, good bread and treats. I also will play my lottery numbers a few days in advance and not even go out for that. If work people call I tell them I’m not around. Its snowing pretty good right now. Hope all Well with you Beans, be well.

When the light turns green & black ppl. deliberatly walk slow across the street making u wait just to piss u off. And NO, I'M NOT being racist! It just happens 2 b a fact. I am certainly not racist either and get that, you need to be a city guy to understand that. I wish I had video time lapse of when I had to travel in rush hour in Manhattan, if you filmed the streets at 5pm when the streets became loaded with commuters trying to catch a train , workers trying to get to bus or home anywhere, you could see the brisk walker’s dodging around people who were moping in groups talking and walking as if they had nowhere in the world to go while everyone else did. They block side walks, stairways, escalators , doorways and crosswalks. I do not miss that shit.

American Airlines is really p*ss*ng me off right now! I heard from my cousin in New York back in September that my flight for Christmas next month might be in jeopardy because AA was pulling out of the airport I was scheduled to fly in to. I contacted American asking for a refund in September. They said the time frame they were pulling out of the airport was October 7 - November 3 and since my flight wasn't scheduled until December 8 and it was still showing as active, they declined my request for a refund. Well, they're now since canceled the flight and I contacted them yesterday following up on my request for a refund. They called me this time (all our correspondence had been via e-mail prior) and told me they couldn't refund my flight because I canceled my flight and requested a refund back in September. I told them I never canceled the flight in September, that I was requesting a refund because they were going to change my flights due to not servicing my final destination airport. They said "it's company policy that we can only process refunds once a flight is canceled." First, I never knew that and secondly, I STILL never asked or authorized them to cancel my flight because I was still going to fly on December 8 to see family for the holidays. I was still going to use the flight so why would I cancel it? After asking to speak to a supervisor the woman on the phone wouldn't put me on with one, saying, "they're going to tell you the exact same thing I am." I asked to speak to the refunds department and they don't accept incoming calls! Are you kidding me!? In the year 2020, this department deems itself so high and mighty that they don't want to be "bothered" with incoming phone calls. GET REAL! So she finally suggested that I contact my credit card company and dispute the charge, which I've done. They've given me a provisional credit for the flights but it'll take another 1-2 weeks until their investigation is complete. They better rule in my favor because I'm not going to be out hundreds of dollars for flights that American Airlines canceled and I never authorized them to do in September. Talk about a mafia! They take your money and never give it back! 🤬
