You know what grinds my gears?

Coming home from taking my kid trick or treating and finding that my stupid-ass dog decided to vomit up a jello-like corpse onto the carpet in my television/writing room.  I couldn't tell what the hell that thing used to be, but it stunk up the entire house and actually had maggots--fucking MAGGOTS--still in its dead body.  Well...on my carpet I guess, not really in its dead body anymore. 
Spoiled crab smelling maggot filled rotting jello corpse dog vomit.  Trick or treat, indeed.
I puked three times cleaning that disgusting pile of shit, and the stank still ain't out of the house.

That kinda grinds my gears.

your vivid descriptive skills made that story all the more disturbing.

Incidently, flies give live birth - I discovered this the hard way when I swatted a fly with one of those swatters with all the little holes, and the maggots exploded forth from the fly's body, through said holes, and onto my face.

My gear grinding for today:  This damn story I have to write by Wednesday.  1.  I know I'm doing it wrong, but it's a first draft so I don't care and 2.  It's going into dark places so I don't want to finish it 3.  There's a halloween party tonight, but because of said story I'm not feeling sociable so 4.  I'm watching the original Night of the LIving Dead (to procrastinate)

I'll tell you what grates my cheese!  The actual act of being put in a bad mood, that's what!

Somehow that reminds me of "Zombi". You know ... Maggot Face?

What grinds my gears is when my mother, the hardest working and sweetest woman you will ever meet in your life, is being forced into retirement because her Parkinson's has gotten so bad that the HR people have decided she's a danger to herself at work.  Not that I don't actually agree with them, but the way Social Security, disability, and general health care are currently set up, there's no way she can support herself.  If something doesn't happen she could loose everything.

I'd always hoped that by the time this day came, I would have enough success as a writer that I might be able to help her, but I'm not there yet.  I feel helpless having to watch her go through this.

I'm so sorry to hear that, NC.  Sending you and your family lots of positive thoughts and energies.

It saddens me greatly to see yet another large group of human beings vote to oppress another in the land of the not so free.

I'll tell you what grinds my gears:

I think my girlfriend's just dumped me because she's no longer my friend on Facebook.  Is this what the 21st Century has in store for us?

LOL Facebook dumped. That's gotta hurt hehe.

Before you slash your wrists make sure it ain't a FB glitch. Or even....try talking to her!

Oh no!  Is it cuz you see her pic in the top where it shows suggestions?  That could be FB having you "reconnect" with her.  I don't like the way FB is trying to tell me to do things now. 

Facebook can kiss my ass!  I use it to play bejeweled blitz.

She's refusing to talk to me, which is why it's evidently bad news   But an unexpected side effect of this whole debacle is that I've thought of a new character to put in my current novel, who goes around ripping people's hearts out.  Hello, teen angst!  How I missed you haha

Sorry Rev. 

See there is always a silver lining

I may have a Letter From the Dead inspired by my exwife.....

Still sucks, Rev.  I'm sorry.

Being a Rev., isn't it disallowed for you to have a g/f?

DW

Naw DW, that's a Priest. And they can have altar boyfriends.

You're going to Hell Doc...but I'll be there too, with Ozzy...
