I guess this might be "thoughts for thursday"??

wow, evidently pops is quite the hit with his inaugural celebrity clause.  although i shouldn't be surprised about him being a hit.  as i recall correctly, i think every other girl in my h.s. class told me he was a hottie...and i think that's a conservative estimate.  anyway, on to other subjects.

gas stations.  smoking.  common sense would tell you that these two generally don't mix.  oh crap...there i go again throwing that "common sense" term around loosely.  ok, so i know there are signs posted practically on all sides of every single pump, but apparently people can't read.  normally it bugs me while i'm pumping and maybe for another 2 minutes afterwards and then i'm over it.  and it really wouldn't be that big of a deal except that this happens roughly 2 out of 3 times i fill up at the local kroger.  well, today sent me over the edge.  before anybody jumps to any conclusions, no i didn't rip somebody a new one about the whole "combustion of a flameable gas" concept...although sometimes i really really want to.  i can just picture it, me screaming at the top of my lungs so that everybody in the entire parking lot can hear me.  anyways, here's what sent me over the edge...it's probably human nature not to confront somebody about this so i can't fault anybody for not confronting somebody who does this when i haven't done it either.  but you would think that the person running the register that's located at the pumps would at least mention it to somebody who is standing there talking to them with their cigarette hanging out of their mouth while they check out.  maybe i'm just crazy.  does this bother anybody else???  or is ohio the only state that has stupid enough people to do this???  or maybe i'm off my rocker and this really isn't a very stupid idea.  hmmm.  anyways, before i close this post i want to make it clear that i have no ill feelings towards people who smoke by any stretch of the imagination.  it's their decision and it's not like i haven't done things that are detrimental to my health.  however, i do have ill feelings to those who are completely retarded and decide it's ok if it's my life they play with just because that can't wait another 6 MINUTES to light up.  ok i'm out.

oh yeah, i've thought the same thing about people when i see them with smoke hanging out of their mouth at the pumps - or them throwing it on the ground to put it out.

some people just don't have common sense. sounds like most of them live in ohio - hahahaha!

Yeah, I hear you.

Here's what I've been ticked about lately. Whenever we go to the park, there is some white trash that has to light up with 100 kids around. Seriously.... is it necessary? I just feel most bad for their kid, because it happens to them everywhere. Obviously a park is WELL ventilate but still, come on. And then throw your butt on the ground? Gross! 1 year olds pick that stuff up and put it in their mouth. Actually, I think 1-5 year olds will do it! Ick!
