I really just prefer to read it in the paper, myself. Trying to watch our local news is
unbearable--there are commercial breaks every three to five minutes, and that's not an exaggeration. Plus, they may say something like "coming up at 4:30," but by the time you get through all the ads and other guff, it's actually nearer to six before they show the story. That alone has pretty much turned me off watching it--I want my news straight away. I don't care to be lured.

I have a cripe I like to vent a bit if I can. I work for the state of Illinois,USA well they seems not to be able to agree on a budget(cause some are trying to sneak extra stuff in including a 6% raise for themselves.Anyways if it keeps up, well today is the last day all State Police and Correctional Officers will not get paid but have to keep working,and all other state workers just stay home.Well I will be one of the people that have to go to work and not get paid,and I have two kids,and alot of bills.I just wish these people would for once think about the working class,and stop worrying about what group can get one over on each other grrrrrrrrrrrr.Anyways it hasn't happen yet but its getting close.

Tonight, the final gripe.
It has come to the point that this thread may be a bit too much for boards. This is not necessarily the place for this thread, and I may continue this elsewhere. Perhaps as a blog, perhaps in my own personal journals (offline). I may even try to get published somewhere. Afte all this was a "get to know me" kinda thing, and I think everyone has had their chance on that! After all, how many newer users have come in since me?
In the meantime, I have one final gripe. And that will be to gripe aboput some of the things I haven't griped about yet. This will not be a formal, detailed gripe, just a list of things that bug me. Some of them were to be future gripes, some I deemed not right for this forum (the more political ones, I still won't touch religion with a ten foot pole).
What are those things on the end of my shoelaces called? They do have a name.
So, what is it with over the phone customer service wanting to give
you the wrong answer instead of looking it up?
Did the President really just say that, and does he think we will believe it?
The Vice President is in contempt of congress.
My wife's knees are held together with a vicegrip.
Why won't the kids go to sleep?
How can you make a judgement call on an author without reading the book?
If they only made a .... that worked.
Why am I so dog gon cheap?
If I were to join the Republican Party, would I have to leave my brain at the door, too?
If at first you don't succeed, just give up...the message we are giving our children.
Comics are pretty bad these days.
I you could do it all over again, would it really be worth it?
The longer I delay, the better it gets.
This was just a sampling of items that I have started the wheels rolling on or stuck me feet into the gorund and resisted as much as possible. I have enjoyed providing this thread. For those that adreed with me on it, I thank you. For those that disagreed, I respect your opinions.
For my final complaint: I will miss sharing these thoughts with you guys, but by no means start to believe you are done with my opinions yet.
