Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
Why would you post this and then not explain what the jackhole did?
Oh, and tba calling out someone for "having to throw in their stupid 2 cents," that grinds my gears just a bit, if only for the delicious irony of it all.
Off the meat/soy thing. Adults who want their kids to win even if it means screwing the other team/kids in a way that is so blatant it is embarassing really grind my gears. Cmon people. If you are going to cheat at least be subtle about it. Your kids weren't fooled and nether were any of the others.

Where did this idea that we can't eat raw meat come from?
My steak tartar was great the other night. Just 'cause people don't choose to eat their meat raw and, given the production methods it's not very safe, doesn't mean that we can't digest it.

Having 10's of thousands of $$$ worth of test equipment at work that I need to use, that doesn't ****ing work when I absolutely need it to, is currently grinding my gears.

I like it. Babies just wreak havoc on the environment. With their stupid parents use of disposable diapers. And then they have the nerve to grow up and use as many resources (or by the time they are of age, more) as adults. Inexcusible. Kill all the babies in the name of the environment!
In the mean time we should only eat engineered products with minimal enironmental impact, or only what you can grow in your own yard.
In other news, idiot co-workers continue to grind my gears. Sourcing a part with a new supplier without consulting me...and now I find his chosen supplier does not have the equipment nor knowledge to make the part right. Line down, and probably 2 months worth of tooling to get good parts. Yippee!
(while we're killing babies, can we kill idiots like this too? All in the name of progress!)

Although, I think a better idea would be to invent a process to turn babies into a renewable fuel, that would essentially end all of our problems.
If we eat all the babies, just think of how much money we would save by being able to abolish all education! The possibilities are endless!

Full rant in the sports parenting thread. Synopsis- the largest team in the league changed the rules and only allowed one event per kid at league championship track meet (5-8th graders). This was announced when we got there. They had arbitrarily removed all the kids who were in the 'second' event they were supposed to be competing in, happily removing our team's participation in any of the field events (the kids had the season records in all but one event). They also DQ the 1/2 mile winner for another team for not being on the race list after she ran and blew the doors off the 2nd place finisher. Viola- with the added 10 pts that they garnered from the 'win' in the 1/2 and our team wiped out of guaranteed 20 points in the shot guess who won the meet? um the team running the event. Go team

Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
The dealership lying to me about the new NC state law, and the law itself.
Per the dealership the state now has a law that license plate holders cannot cover the state name on the license plate. That part is true. The part they lied about was that they told my husband that my UNH Wildcats plate holder holder has to be removed asap or I could get a $100 fine. I can get a warning, but not a fine until Dec 1 of this year. Since I'm leaving the state in 3 days, I think I'll take my chances.
The reason they lied? They are irritated that they have to change the size/shape of their promotional plate holders for the cars they sell.
The law itself irritates me because the state is too lazy to be able to figure out what state a plate is from without being able to read the words North Carolina as I go through a toll booth. Oh, wait, there are no toll booths in NC. (well, not yet anyway).

and you know what else? i don't think a mom with her 3 kids in the minivan going to a soccer game should be able to use the carpool lanes. it's not like those kids would be driving their own separate cars so it's not reducing traffic and emissions. if a passenger doesn't have a valid drivers license then they shouldn't count as a valid passenger.

Went to the farmer's market this morning, and there was a moped taking up a parking space. Not a full motorcycle... a moped.

You should have picked it up and moved it onto the sidewalk, where they can legally park (IIRC.) Isn't the whole idea of a moped that you don't have to take up the space of a car?

Speaking of mopeds. People riding mopeds and mopeds in general make me get a sudden urge to run them the **** over with my truck.

I could take my Wrangler and park behind them, and probably still fit in the spot
That's one of the fun parts about a Wrangler - you get out and find out you're fully in the spot at about a 10 degree angle with about 7 feet behind you to spare.
