Thursday Thirteen #13 - Questions

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Questions

  1. Why do people keep saying they hate Daylight Savings time when we just went OFF daylight saving time? We are on STANDARD time now.
  2. Do people really mean they hate Standard Time?
  3. How come when we just bought a car for our teen child there’ve been exactly 900 articles in our papers about teens dying in car accidents?
  4. Is that really necessary?
  5. How wrong is it that I have a dog massively allergic to fleas? One bite can send him into a frenzy.
  6. Who’s idea of a sick joke was this? (someone please invent pet brushes that will kills fleas too, k? Thanks. Would make my life easier.)
  7. Why does my husband keep bringing home candy from the office when we still have 20 pounds left over from Halloween?
  8. Why don’t trees drop all their leaves at once?
  9. Why can’t Jay Leno and David Lettermen write their own damn monologues? (Don’t flame me for this one. I understand the reasons behind the WGA (writers) strike and why some actors, show hosts, etc. don’t want to cross the picket lines.)
  10. Where’s the rain we were told we’d get today?
  11. Why did a friend have to IM me about the shrimp he had for lunch right as my boss was remoted in to my computer?
  12. How come my husband is funny and witty and comes up with a billion and one absolutely hilarious things to say until I ask him for funny material? Then he’s got nothing.
  13. Why do people leave emergency OMG the sky is falling voice mails and demand someone call them back asap but don’t leave their phone number?

  1. I miss living in Arizona as we didn’t change the clocks. We just left them the same year round. Was a whole lot easier. Oh, but we also had trees that DID dump their leaves all at once. One morning you’d wake up and instant leaves EVERYWHERE.

    I also don’t like those long voice mails with no number…

    Smiles,

  2. Well, I can relate to 1 and 2. I like standard time, I don’t like daylight savings time. It actually doesn’t do anything, it’s because of the change in seasons that it gets dark earlier, not because everyone sets their clocks back. That said, why bother with the whole thing anyway? I did a TT too, it’s here: http://lifes-adventures.net

    Cheers!!

  3. Nice Thursday Post! I love Thursdays, the kids are in bed 7:30, then Earl, the Office, Greys, and ER are on! Can you say no laundry , and take out for dinner on Thursdays?????????

    Hope you have a great TT, stop by my blog if you can!

  4. These were pretty funny! Just wondering, could it be that, technically, Leno and Letterman are also part of the Writers’ Guild and are “obligated” to strike also? Just a friendly question, I swear!

    I don’t like the artificial time change either, why mess with the natural order of things (waning daylight)? Oh, right, big-farm interests, and energy savings (supposedly).

    As for your rain, well, we sure don’t have it ;)

  5. Marina,

    I doubt they are part of the guild.. ya never know, though!

    LOL Deb. No take out here. Frozen pizza instead.

  6. 1. Well, SOME of them mean they hate the time change thing all together. SOME mean they hate standard time, so it all depends upon who you’re talking to.
    2. yes, some of them do mean just that.
    3. So you will begin getting gray hair like the rest of us who went through that with 3 kids (all boys which is WAY worse than girls).
    4. Yes, you must be reminded that teenagers are easily distracted, hormone driven, authority resentful monsters at all times.
    5. Not wrong, not right, just is — get Frontline and Capstar (frontline for the IGR that keeps the darn things from reproducing and Capstar to kill the adults real quick)
    6. Ummmm that would probably be GOD.
    7. So it’s not at the office where he spends more waking hours than he does at home, thereby reducing the temptation to overindulge when stressed.
    8. I don’t know — will have to google that one :)
    9. Because in real life they’re not funny
    10. I don’t know — it didn’t show up at my house either.
    11. Murphy’s Law
    12. Too much pressure.
    13. Too much adrenaline — don’t you know that kills brain cells??
