(11-30-10) I think it's really sad when you keep realizing stuff that you lost in "the move", except that "the move" never actually happened.
(03-25-10) I think a stupid tornado warning no where near me preempted The Office. I'm going to beat up Jerry Tracy. Lucky for him I can just watch it on Hulu or NBC on Demand, but I have to wait until tomorrow. Why can't they figure out out to selectively do weather break-ins?
(06-27-09) I think I wish the GPS could somehow know about detours, traffic jams, and crying babies...it originally said we'd be home from the beach at 2:30...we got home at 5:30. Destin to B'ham in 8 hours! Woohoo!
(06-13-09) I think I am not comparing myself to Job or anything, but I spent this morning with no wife, no baby, no cable, no power, no phone line, and lots of rain outside. What's a geek to do?
(05-16-09) I think I'm not sure whether it's because of me getting older or because of the Scream Machine and Georgia Cyclone both getting older, but wooden roller coasters are not fun anymore. They just hurt!
(05-10-09) I think ESPN is broken. ESPN is showing pool, and ESPN2 is showing poker. THESE ARE NOT SPORTS.
(04-29-09) I think Obama has already preempted prime time TV for pointless press conferences more times than Bush did in 8 years...this has to stop.
(11-19-08) I think it's nice to fill up the car with gas for under $30 again...
(11-04-08) I think I can't believe Fox is showing election coverage tonight instead of House.
(09-18-08) I think I would like to figure out how to make my TV automatically turn off during ESPN's "Dr. Lou" segments. I can't take another one!
(05-03-08) I think that no matter how many times you say to yourself, "I will not allow this place to make me want to strangle someone" before going into Wal-Mart, it doesn't help.
(12-28-07) I think that every time I go to Wal-Mart, the lower prices come closer and closer to no longer outweighing the unpleasantness of going there.
(07-24-07) I think it's funny how I badly wanted a CD player in my car all throughout high school and college (I eventually got a disk man with a cassette adapter), and then a few years after I finally got a car with an in-dash CD player, I never use it and wish the car had input jacks for my MP3 player. By the time I get one with that, I'll really just want the chip implanted in my head that gives me music whenever I want it.
(06-29-07) I think it's really frustrating that grass has no trouble growing through the mulch and the Round-Up in our flower bed or on our landscaped hill, but I have huge dead patches in my yard.
(06-27-07) I think sometimes I'm convinced that somewhere out there, a crazy old man who works for a clothing company spends his days coming up with new ways to add more stickers, tags, pins, plastic, and cardboard as the packaging for shirts, and he has an evil laugh as he thinks to himself, "They'll NEVER find all of these!".
(05-24-07) I think that no matter which curtain cord I pull first, it's ALWAYS the wrong one.
(11-26-06) I think this is the earliest in the year I've ever gotten sick of "Jingle Bell Rock".
(11-02-06) I think I'll be really happy after election day...it will be nice to be able to listen to the radio again. I just can't stand the ads!
(09-13-06) I think that before you pay $8 for shipping from a website that you're ordering a hard-to-find item from, you should probably first make sure that the website is not for a small locally-owned store a few miles away from your house.
(08-16-06) I think the "shuffle" function on Windows Media Player is really hung up on Christmas music tonight for some reason.
(06-05-06) I think that Angel, who listens to the radio all day while we're at work, is really sick of political ads.
(04-11-06) I think I must be getting old when I have to search What I Think before posting a thought to make sure I didn't already post the same thing a few months ago.
(04-06-06) I think that, no matter how trendy they are, those wireless headsets for cell phones will always look goofy.
(03-21-06) I think that, as if the sock fairy cleaning us out and leaving several pair mateless wasn't enough, now the muffin pan fairy has come and stolen our muffin pan!
(02-15-06) I think Chapstick tastes much better than Blistex.
(09-01-05) I think I'm trying to figure out if I can use the high gas prices to get away with saying "Sorry, honey, we can't afford to cut the grass..."
(08-05-05) I think it might be a bad idea to leave a case of Diet Dr Pepper in your trunk for several days until either the heat or the jostling around causes a can to puncture.
(06-27-05) I think the problem with stain-resistant shirts is that if you don't also have stain-resistant pants, and you spill a drink on your shirt, it just rolls down onto your pants.
(06-15-05) I think it was really sad today when the cashier at Subway used one of those pens to make sure the $1 bills were not counterfeit. Not that I've put a lot of thought into it, but I can assure you that if I ever get into the counterfeiting business, it will NOT be with $1 bills.
(05-31-05) I think allergies are pure evil, especially when they affect your eyes and you can't wear your contacts, and especially when your glasses are broken and you had to fix them with tape.
(04-20-05) I think that, for some reason, it really annoys me when people get their "up here" and "down here"'s mixed up. For example, when talking to someone at our Minnesota office, you do not say stuff about the weather "up here". We're to the south of them! We're "down here"! Get it right!
(04-06-05) I think (to the tune of "I Fought The Law And The Law Won") I fought E-Trade and I won.
(12-24-04) I think there should be a federal law against blue Christmas lights.
(12-08-04) I think that Cheerios burps are among the worst.
(11-17-04) I think I may have finally won my battle with AT&T. What have I learned from all of this? NEVER call AT&T...email them!
(10-21-04) I think I hate it when you have the hiccups and so you're holding your breath trying to get rid of them, but then you have to yawn, and you can't decide what to do.
(08-25-04) I think I made a big sacrifice in the name of health today...I had Diet Pepsi at Subway instead of Dr Pepper. Needless to say, it was not good. As if to taunt me even further, when I tried to top my drink off as we were leaving, the Diet Pepsi sputtered and shot all over me.
(08-11-04) I think I can't wait for Lawn Mowing Season 2004 to be over.
(07-07-04) I think I'll never understand why people freak out when gas prices get near $2 a gallon when a 16 oz. bottle of water costs the same or more.
(06-24-04) I think the battle of man vs. a leaking toilet can be a grueling one, but I am always victorious in the end.
(06-21-04) I think the government should get moving on outlawing foreign customer support call centers. I think Americans have the right to a customer service representative with English as a first language. And yes, this is a major reason I despise AT&T.
(04-07-04) I think if anyone was wondering, I still hate Bellsouth. And now AT&T has decided to join in the mix of evil companies.
(11-10-03) I think the quality of customer service that you get from a company is directly proportional to how much competition that company has. My insurance agent's office, for example, has always been overly nice and extremely helpful and willing to do just about anything to make me happy. They know there are a hundreds of other places I could go. Bellsouth, on the other hand, is always the exact opposite. Except for going all wireless, there's really not another option.
(08-18-03) I think there may be no worse fate than getting that song from the Fanta commercial stuck in your head.
(08-02-03) I think way too much time and energy has been spent designing hotel hangers that you can't steal.
(06-22-03) I think that the worst type of spam is the spam that is advertising anti-spam software. That's like a home security company breaking into your house and leaving a pamphlet.
(06-22-03) I think the drive home from a vacation is one of the most unpleasant things in the world.
(05-28-03) I think I don't understand why anyone would design something that uses 3 batteries. Everyone knows they only sell them in multiples of 4! Yeah, I could buy 12 batteries, but how long would it take a stupid caller ID unit to go through 4 sets of batteries?
(05-27-03) I think my allergies have finally outsmarted Claritin.
(04-03-03) I think I'd really like to get some time with the Iraqi information minister and slap him around a little bit. It'd be nice to slap Saddam around some too, but I don't like to touch dead bodies...
(03-04-03) I think that no matter what time of day I go to Wal-Mart, it's always restocking time.
(01-14-03) I think I'd like to point out that there are no less than two different 2003 Johnny Depp calendars available on the internet. One has to assume that at least one copy of each has been bought, so one can further surmise that the end of the world can't be far off.
(01-08-03) I think the fact that there are remote controls for gas fireplaces makes me just a little bit sad.
(01-03-03) I think victory is mine! All of the blinds are finally up in our house!
(12-26-02) I think Time Warner Cable has joined Alabama Power as having the only good customer service departments I've dealt with lately. Well, and Auto Trader, of course. :)
(11-13-02) I think events like the Vulcan Run don't make a lot of sense to me. So I'm supposed to pay them to allow me to run? Something's just wrong with this picture. First off, I could run anywhere I wanted for free, although I don't see that happening either. Second, I'm pretty sure they'd have to pay me for this arrangement to have any shot at working out, but it'd definitely have to be more than the $15 they're asking.
(11-07-02) I think people should be slapped anytime they respond to the question "Did you get a haircut?" with either "No, I got my ears lowered" or "No, I got all of them cut".
(09-27-02) I think I haven't complained about how much I hate the Wal-Mart in Homewood in a few months, so just for the record, I hate the Wal-Mart in Homewood.
(09-22-02) I think whenever I have to actually go inside the gas station to get my receipt, the gas should be free. I'm not suggesting this, I'm demanding it. Write letters. Email your Congressman. Legistlation should be introduced. Regulations should be passed. Maybe I'm just nieve to think that "pay at the pump" should also include "get your receipt at the pump", but I'm sick and tired of the receipt printers at the pump running out of paper. I'm about to boycott the Shell station next to my apartment for this very reason...it's happened the last two times I've been there.
(09-19-02) I think it'd be pretty scary if you were at the dentist, and your hygienist was all upset because she "lost a patient in the chair this morning".
(09-03-02) I think if we find a house we like, we should get top priority over everyone else who wants it. You know, just because...
(07-15-02) I think the falling stock market is thwarting my plans to retire at the age of 30.
(07-10-02) I think companies should realize that if I didn't want their credit card last week, I probably don't want it this week either...
(06-24-02) I think it really bothers me that bottled water has an expiration date on it. The stuff is millions of years old! How is a couple of extra years in a bottle going to hurt anything?
(05-24-02) I think we have finally spent all of our department store credit from the wedding. We have a few bucks left at Wal-Mart and Linens & Things, and that's it! And we've only been married for 10 months!
(05-08-02) I think as much as we all hate junk mail and junk email, nothing comes close to the annoyance of telemarketers. Mail and email are both passive; we can deal with it when we want. Phone calls are not. We received 3 within a 10 minute span on Saturday morning, from 10:00-10:10 AM. Ordinarily, this would have woken us up and we'd be even madder. I know they're just doing their job, but I cannot find it in my heart to mind being rude to them and hanging up on them. If they had any conscience, they'd change jobs.
(04-28-02) I think the phrase "tough pill to swallow" has never really meant much to me, because pretty much all pills are hard for me to swallow.
(04-27-02) I think we'd have a lot more money if we never left the apartment on Saturdays.
(04-19-02) I think that getting a haircut is one of my least favorite things to do. It's right up there with telling a little girl that you just ran over her kitten, but fortunately, I haven't ever had to do that.
(04-16-02) I think I don't appreciate the fact that I've had to call Charter to have my bill fixed each of the last three months.
(04-09-02) I think there should be some scientific studies into the psychological damage caused by the frustration during those few minutes when you have a new CD or DVD and can't get the stupid plastic wrap off.
(04-09-02) I think onions don't make the trash can smell any better.
(04-02-02) I think those two annoying guys from the 7-11 commercials need to be severely beaten every once in a while.
(04-01-02) I think the one thing that I've learned about trying to plan out and budget your money is that there is no such thing as a "normal month".
(03-12-02) I think it's a little scary to work in a neighborhood that pizza places won't deliver to for "safety reasons".
(03-09-02) I think anyone who doesn't understand why my blood pressure is sometimes off the charts should watch an Alabama basketball game.
(03-07-02) I think I don't believe in the concept of scales to weigh yourself on. If I *ever* get the same reading from two different scales, I might change my mind.
(03-06-02) I think the fact that a telemarketer is calling from a charity rather than a business makes me hang up on them no slower.
(03-04-02) I think the problem of "sorry, all I have is a twenty" isn't really a problem, nor is it something you need to apologize for.
(02-27-02) I think if I hear one more thing about Enron, I'm going to...put something clever here.
(02-07-02) I think if an 18 year old kid is so full of himself as to stage a live press conference on SportsCenter to announce what college he's going to play football at, it's only fitting that he go to Florida State. He'll fit in quite nicely.
(01-28-02) I think that there may be nothing worse than being sick enough to feel lousy, but not sick enough to stay home from work.
(01-27-02) I think it's really sad when, no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to spend all of the credit you have from gift cards and returned wedding presents.
(01-16-02) I think I should stay away from my blender any time Brandon is at the apartment.
(01-15-02) I think I've somehow lost my ability to open soft drink cans without making a mess.
(11-25-01) I think when I get a little older, I'm going to pretend that I'm losing my hearing. Then I can get away with ignoring Tammy when she calls me from downstairs because she can't open a jar or she thinks she sees a bug.
(11-21-01) I think too many hours of my life in school were wasted doing busy work and word searches.
(11-16-01) I think once Tammy and Brandon both have jobs, I won't know what to do...I won't have anything to worry about anymore!
(11-07-01) I think there's nothing fun about the "fun size" candy bars you get at Halloween.
(10-24-01) I think it should be unconstitutional for me to have to wake up before the sun does.
(10-17-01) I think it's not fair that my wife sleeps a good six hours later than me, yet goes to bed at the same time as I do.
(10-15-01) I think Alabama fans are going to have to rethink their tradition of holding up four fingers in the fourth quarter...maybe if we held up three, the players would think it was still the third quarter and keep playing decent football...
(09-24-01) I think that every street in Atlanta is named Peachtree, Piedmont, or Lenox something (Drive, Road, Circle, Parkway, Terrace, and everything else you can think of).
(09-19-01) I think when you can't see the scales because your belly's in the way, there's a problem.
(09-10-01) I think Ricky's household tip of the day is to never try removing metal anchors from a wall. They bring a large section of the wall with them.
(08-18-01) I think I should never brag about not losing socks in the wash...ever since I wrote that, it's been a massacre! There are orphaned socks everywhere!
(08-06-01) I think US Air is evil, and that the Nashville Airport is not a good place to spend your first day of marriage.
(07-10-01) I think I must be special...I've never lost a sock while doing laundry.
(06-28-01) I think red lights and stop signs should not apply to me.
(06-11-01) I think I should have the right to skip all of the weekdays between now and the wedding and just deal with the weekends.
(06-08-01) I think getting up before the sun does is a very bad thing.
(06-04-01) I think a good way to figure out how much time a home improvement project will take is to take how much time you think it will take and square it.
(06-04-01) I think it stinks that for the first time in pretty much ever, the beginning of summer has no significant impact on my life.
(05-29-01) I think I have ten minutes of free time between now and the wedding.
(05-22-01) I think that none of the people who work at this resort speak English as their first language.
(05-08-01) I think folding clothes is really pointless...if you think about it, all you're doing is organizing the wrinkles.
(05-03-01) I think that when someone makes me brake and lose my cruise control, I should be able to break that person's nose in several places.
(04-09-01) I think that if there is such a thing as "car heaven", my old Corsica will definitely NOT be there.
(04-09-01) I think if your response to the offered trade-in value of your used car includes the phrase "but the gas alone is worth $10", you have a pretty crappy car.
(04-04-01) I think that the traffic lady on the radio who says that things are "moving smoothly on the interstates through downtown" isn't looking at the same interstates that I am.
(04-04-01) I think I don't want savings on long distance, I don't want another credit card, I don't need vinyl siding, I don't need my carpets cleaned, I don't want to join the military, and I don't want to give blood this week, so QUIT CALLING ME!
