Title: Gratuitous Gratefulness
Post by: hackess on August 14, 2014, 12:42:50 PM
Inspired by a meme making the rounds on various social media whatwhozits, I'm starting our own thread. Every day you remember to read this forum, let alone be motivated to post something (you lazy selfish bastards), list the 3 things for which you are at least somewhat OR not at all grateful. Might as well throw in the fun of guessing which way you lean. (Ahem, slightly to the right. I've *seen* the pics.)

1. Temperate weather.
2. Automatic-drip coffee machines.
3. A questionable conscience.

I second friends who make terrible decisions - am watching one on fold right now and there's no easy or clear way for me to tell him he's going down the wrong path

- This non-stop election BS
- Unseasonably warm weather in the northeast. Can we just get this over and done with now?

Bonus!

- My neighbors who have been running a leaf  blower for about two hours now, yet only have about 200 square feet of grass to tend to. How is this even possible?!

You might be on to something, here. It just seems like a never-ending stream of contractors and other vendors coming by their place as of late, and I've only been living here about a month!

I think their Poland Spring water delivery should be here tomorrow morning if memory serves me right.
