      This is what we tried to do, but now that the snow is melting, we're finding that we missed quite a few.

        I was nearly brushed by a sideview mirror from someone doing it this morning. Another person actually ran after the car and started pounding on it, he was so pizzed.
        You should probably look both ways before you cross the street...I learned that when I was 4.

          I remember when one of my chores was dogsh*t pickup. Winter and spring were always the worst. Winter requires a shovel, and then in the spring you find those half-decayed mounds that the scooper can't handle in one bite.

              I hate paper cuts. Haven't had one in years, until today.

                The woman in the cube next to mine is interviewing a person for information, pretty normal stuff. The problem I have is that the interviewee seems to think that the two women are across a canyon from one another rather than in a cube a mere eight feet wide. She's talking so loud that I'm having a hard time drowning her out with my headphones.

                  I have an Extra subscription and choose to follow two teams with it, SCSU and MN. The logo for the U of MN seems to have increased in size by about 40% over the past few weeks. It's been blocking site content for everything to the immediate right of the logo within the www.uscho.com domain. The SCSU logo that also displays for me doesn't have this problem.

                  I was trying to use the Contact Us tool for the site but I can't. Why is that? Because the U of MN logo is blocking the submission button of the Contact Us page. Ironic.

                    I've experienced the same problem. I just quit following Minnesota.

                      Done with my tax returns for another year.


                      If I add up "only" local property tax, state income tax, Fed income tax, social security and medicare, we paid 34% of our total income in taxes. That's all the way down to the first dollar, not a marginal rate, either.

                      Add in sales taxes, gasoline taxes, taxes on cable bill and cell phone bill and internet bill, it gets even uglier.

                      I wouldn't mind if we were getting comparable value in return, but are we really getting anything close to what we pay for?

                        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                          I got a raise, and I actually get less take-home pay. This grinds my gears (not in a political way, just the fact that it happens). Wonder if I can decline it.

                            Increase your 401(k) withholdings and your take home pay will go up again.

                              Shoes that come with laces far too short, making them a pain in the *** to tie. Seriously, how hard is it to cut laces to length, consistently? I bought a pair of nice kicks and the laces on one of the shoes is probably a total of 4 inches shorter than the other one. Ridiculous.
