So, here is my rant for the day. I had to run to town for 1 thing at the store so I just decided to go to the grocery store that is 2 minutes from the house. Well, guess what? They didn't have it. All I wanted was plain old Prego spaghetti sauce, my husband's favorite. I had to go down town to another store to get it. Then when I was waiting to pull out, (with a line of traffice behind me) 2 cars decided to pull in at the last second. Ever heard of blinkers?! Anyway. I am almost home and got in the turning lane and the post man was stopped in the oncoming lane, but the car behind him wouldn't stop and wait on him to move and came into my lane! Grrr. I couldn't exactly whip back in the other lane because an 18 wheeler was behind me. I made it between them somehow. I don't think that little escort wanted to play chicken with me, I drive a crew cab diesel truck! Oh, and then my husbands paycheck wasn't in the mailbox. Late for the 4th week in a row. I love this rants thread. That is terrible!! Kudos on that crew cab Diesel truck though!! You had said it looks like we would have alot in common and it looks like we do!! Love those big trucks!! I sincerely hope your hubby's check shows up soon! What a bummer for you and for him too The paycheck situation is more of a problem for me. I need to know how much Vera I can buy this week. LOL! As for having things in common, I am just an old country girl. In high school I was very active in the FFA. I love to hunt, we have some cattle, put up hay (although I don't get to help with this because I have to take care of the little ones, but maybe when they are older), my favorite things to wear are broken in jeans. I do love my makeup and Vera. Even when I hunt I like to have makup on. (Just in case I get that big buck and pictures may be needed.) This is how redneck we are. My youngest son turned one the other day and we had his party outside. After borrowing tables and chairs to sit at, we still needed some place to set up the food. Well, I told my husband to go out to the farm and get the 25ft flatbed trailer that we use for hauling hay or tractors. We parked it in the yard and I spread a table cloth over one side and voila-insant buffet line. My husband's stepsister just laughed and said "You might be a redneck if"... BTW-I love the picture of the pink tractor.

BTW-I love the picture of the pink tractor. Love it Love it Love it!! Amanda, I think we may be long lost Redneck Dream Barbie sisters!! I don't see a thing wrong with your buffet line! We too have hay and I get to help because my son is 17 and he has to help too. We even go over and help our friends with theirs We have soybeans, corn, and wheat at different times of the year. I also have a deerstand with carpet, heat, windows, and two office chairs for me and my son to hunt together in. And yes I must have my makeup on for deer pics too I can hardly wait to have my tractor finished and all pretty pink. I don't know if you have the store Gander Mountain where you live but you should look online if not and check out the "High Maintenance Camo" line for women!! It is so cute!! I must have some of that stuff!! I drive a Jeep that is jacked up sitting on 33's that we take trail riding and have a diesel pickup, Ford Focus (daily driver for gas milage LOL) and a good ole redneck Mustang GT from 1995 LOL!! We are so much alike its scary! Shoot me a friend request on Facebook if you have not already (Jamie Nifong Tucker on Facebook)

Everybody knows it's flu season and everyone is aware of the Swine flu. So how about the guy who sits behind me in my Asian civilizations class comes in on Friday and asks if he can borrow our notes because he was out for a week with the flu. I asked him if he had gone to the doctor, he said yes and that his sister had H1N1 too. ARG!!! So he's sitting behind me, openly coughing on the back of my head. Luckily, I work in a pharmacy and get a free flu shot, but last time I had one I got sick. So now I'm in a predicament of whether or not to get one all because this guy was in class and not at home like he should've been! If he gets me sick, I'll be in the right enough mind to sneeze on him and give it to him again.

Nicci I too work in a pharmacy and you would not believe the number of inconsiderate people who come in with their Tamiflu rx's, coughing and hacking all over us! All of the other girls have been laughing at me because I'm carrying around my own personal can of Lysol!

Mind you, I'm the only woman in a pharmacy of 5 men. They sure as beans aren't going to do it. And the next customer who asks me if they can have tamiflu without a script is going to get ignored.

Allie I get amazed every day at how crazy people are. I know you don't feel good, no I can't get your prescription ready before everybody elses, and I sure as heck don't want you breathing your nasty germs on me! LOL It just kills me how long people are willing to sit and wait in the Dr's office, but let them walk into the pharmacy (WalMart no less, where EVERYBODY can kill 20 minutes at the most) and they want their medicine yesterday. I've started telling people that it takes about 20 mins for the pharmacist to make sure I'm not trying to kill them! That has shut them up for the most part! I mean c'mon, I'm not fixing your cheeseburger, I'm giving you medicine that could potentially save your life or kill you! All done now!

Well said Nancy! You get some exalt for that soap box. I agree 100%. I could rant all day about my stupid patients. I had an elderly man (87ish years old) get stuck in the drive through because he got out of his car to reach the drop off and got stuck trying to get back into his car. 1. Why are you driving at 87? 2. Why are you getting out? Put the car in reverse and try again. 3. I charged you meds to Medicare part D because that's what I'm suppose to do. It's not my fault the drug isn't covered! Now stop cussing at me you wrinkly old man! That's all. K, I've used up all my rant time for the month of September. *gets off soapbox*

Trichelle she's not kidding! Those wrinkly old men are the meanest people on earth! They will cuss you out in a heartbeat! We have a man who is beyond legally blind who stills drives every day. About a month ago he left his truck in drive when he parked and it rolled into one of my coworkers cars! He tried to make it her fault! Why in the world is he allowed behind the wheel of a car?! Nicci, most of ours can't understand why Med D won't pay for their Viagra. How can you nicely tell an 80 year old man sex is not a necessity? Much less in front of a crowd, you're already yelling because he's deaf as a door nail?!

I missed a VB t-shirt for $3.25 with free shipping and a silver keychain for $5.00 with free shipping! Seems like everytime I can score a deal I am either busy or just plain forget to look!! Drives me crazy!!

Okay, So here is my rant of the day. So, I have been having trouble with the control panel in my care not working. So my dad took it, and they said that there were 2 wires touching and said that i wouldn't have anymore problems. WRONG! Got in to go to church yesterday night, and the wouldn't work again. So he took it back this morning, and it's going to be $165 JUST for a new cluster to make it work, PLUS labor. ughh.
