  7. I live rural, if a squirrel farts we lose power Which brings me to a pet peeve entergy of Ms. Pays millions every year for power line repair and tree trimming so here it is why don’t they bury the power line? last year a cable co ran fiber optic everywhere under ground. Why in hell wasn’t the power co in that ditch with the cable co ? from what they spend in 1 or 2 years maintaining overheads they could bury it and be done.
  8. As you can see, I am letter straight challenged.

  17. My pet peeve is the T-Shirt industry has decided they no longer will install TAGS on the back of the neck on the shirt instead some paper pushing puts stamps the shirt with ink they must save a penny per shirt after you wash the shirt the stamped tag starts to fade Why does this bother me? I am. Husband that rises in the morning and does my best not to wake my wife. She works also and goes in later than I do with a tag you see it and slip the shirt on without the tag, you turn the shirt over and try to find the stamp. You can not see it so you put the shirt on taking a 50/50 gamble you will have to turn it around so to avoid this I turn on the light which wakes my love Ya’ll if momma ain’t happy then non one in the house will be happy, lol. Back to back posts someone is peeved. lol.
