The Daily Peeve / Rant

Tradd's experience with the slow driver reminded me of this old commercial:

Haha - that was funny!

I thought granite was expensive, at least in countertops, compared to say laminate. What in the room was granite?

Oh you people! Haha.
I meant to say something like “granted, it was newly decorated…“But it was nothing special believe me.


The old hotel we’re staying at next week in Sedalia is cute and all that historic and has a very nice restaurant, assuming that is still open

Well next time it's in the Boston area, let me know. I could have at least steered you towards something more to your liking:

The Boston Motel problem was that I wanted it right by the airport, I wanted a shuttle that would get us to the airport at 5:30 in the morning, and I didn’t make a reservation until about a day or two in advance. I paid dearly for that.

Left work yesterday and got as far as outside the parking garage before I saw that my low tire pressure light was on. Stopped at a nearby parking lot and used my air pump to fill it up. Then got up this morning to leave for work and saw one of my headlights was out.

Were you trying to say - granted it is newly decorated? Do you use your microphone to answer posts, perhaps? I find that I have had to say some of your posts to the drift ofyour intent but that is good practice for when I start answering using audio.

I paid half that for a fairly decent motel last fall and swore high rate that would never happen to me again - $100 to 150 is my usual.

yes! I do dictate many posts here. Thus the bad wording, sometimes incomprehensible.

Turkish Airlinea Cargo is useless and incompetent. Predates covid and the current shipping chaos by many years.

Shipment from India to Chicago. It was 80 drums on 4 pallets. They put it as 4 pcs on everything. It’s a special kind of entry that Customs has to manually release. Customs here said it should be 80 pcs. Turkish refused to make the change for more than 2 weeks. We’re well past the 15 days allowed for clearance after arrival so I have to cancel the original entry and redo it.

I let loose on the Turkish Cargo manager at O’Hare. He said they were short staffed. I told him there is a huge difference between being short staffed and refusing to make a change Customs requires. Told him I strongly recommended the customer never use Turkish again.

Sorry for the grandma rave, but I smile every time I go out to pick cucumbers and recall how my 4 y.o. grandson calls them "tree pickles"

Grandma, you posted this in the 'rant' thread but that is a cute story to share.

Well, it would be a rant for Iris Lilies, those damn trees dropping pickles all over the yard.
