You are wasting all the Earths non-renewable resources..!

I could start lighting indoor fires...but then I'm still using wood!

Actually there's a concern about CO after hearing the story that RBP told us. These old battleships can break down..

Try burning old tires, not only do you get the heat from the fire, but the smoke is a good form of aromatherapy

[Hal-9000]

Had to leave the room at times....who did dat???

My internet keeps crapping out. I keep losing my connection. This is like the 3rd time in the past 2 days. I'm glad I'm not a day trader. I probably would have lost thousands of dollars with the one that just happened 5 minutes ago. Although, I've been seriously thinking about becoming one so if I do, I better get a more reliable connection or ISP.

I may be going full Gran Torino here in a minute.

My Dad used to have battles with parents parking in the back lane and dropping their kids off at the nearby school. I've encountered a few myself who parked in front of our garage and our garbage can.

I've actually had to go to the school (more than once) and get the principal to make intercom announcements asking if the parent with the blue minivan could move their vehicle...so I could get out of the garage and go to work.


Some women have sworn at me...right in front of their kids. Because they break the law and can't walk the 50 yards from the street instead.

Some brief history:

My dear old Dad used to go out and yell at people. I tried to warn him that they knew where we lived, but we didn't know where they came from. One year he put down roofing nails on the little strip of grass outside of the fence where they typically parked. I understood his anger. We were responsible for the upkeep of the grass and the people had no respect. Then he gets two mysterious flat tires...parking in a garage

So over time, he got older and stopped battling with people. He used to put a rope up across our garage pad, because people used it constantly for turning around and it developed a crack. He would go out every day and connect and disconnect the rope. He eventually stopped that too.

Then he finally had enough. He got two railroad ties and placed them along the edge of the grass outside the fence. People stopped trying to park there in a hurry. One day some chick got high centered on one and thought to complain to my Dad She called the cops, and the cops apparently said - This gentleman owns the land, he can do that if he wants. And by the way, why are you trying to park illegally on his lawn? And by the way, do you realize it's illegal to park in this alley (it skirts a park) and drop your kids off here? She was livid (I was at work )

Then my Dad called parking enforcement and told them that parents park illegally in the alley twice every day, at these times. If you want to write some tickets, come on by

I guess parking enforcement did write tickets..which caused another problem. The parents started parking closer to the school, while still in the alley, and then racing to and from to avoid the tickets. So my Dad again complained and said the parents were driving too fast down the back alley, and someone was going to get hurt. Parking enforcement gave my Dad no parking signs and speed limit signs and asked if he would post them on the telephone poles! So he did

Long story short, my Dad has fought the situation for years and finally gave up. You know I love and miss my Dad a whole bunch, so I have to decide if I'm going to continue the good fight.

And after writing this...I think I will

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You definitely should

I went and asked the principal to make one of the intercom announcements, asking if the parent in the red Toyota could move their car, as you are blocking someone's garage.

Woman comes out after dropping off or picking up a kid and has a little girl with her. Little girl is probably around five or six.

The gist of what came out her mouth as I watched her from my garage with the garage door open:

You think you're a fucking big man. Telling the school on me and trying to embarrass me. Well fuck you. Fuck you you big piece of shit. I can park anywhere I want and you shouldn't complain. Things can fucking happen to you if you're not careful you know. I have rights you cunt (yes, she dropped the C-bomb).

*The whole time the little girl had her head down and looked like with every new sentence, she was going to cry. Like she had heard Mommy before and was embarrassed to be standing there.*

As the women was explaining 'her rights' to me. I said - Ma'am? Your car is parked right in front of my one door garage. I couldn't get my car out without hitting you...

Then she started another blue streak - So you're fucking threatening to hit my fucking car now??? So you want to fucking hurt me???


Lance, some of these parents are scary. I've luckily only met a few that have been ignorant to that degree. But it makes me wonder when people park right in front of a garage door or block our garbage can long enough so the garbage pick up guys didn't collect our garbage. Those people scare me because they think everything they do is fine, and don't criticize me or else..

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That's just insane...and to do that in front of her kid

[Muddy]

You should always videotape crazy and post it on social media.

[Hal-9000]

I saw a minivan come zooming down the alley one day...probably going around 30 or 40 mph. Then I see the driver. Brown lady in a hijab with at least five kids in the vehicle. Both hands nailed to the wheel.

Sometimes you expect one thing...

Oh, look at that. The washed-up has-been porn star has retracted her statement that she had an affair with the President. She was lying about it all along. Imagine that.
