LOL!!! You're funny because you're a sheep. LOL

Plus, I'm pretty sure he doesn't need your help STILL blaming the previous president. He has a firm handle on blaming others.

I'd have to say politicians on both sides grind my gears right now. They all seem to care more about securing re-election for themselves than even attempting to fix any of the problems right now. Everyone in Washington is doing nothing and blaming everyone else for everything.

Old hens on the bus that won't shut up.

Studded tires. Especially people running studded tires in August. Or people like my neighbor in his 3 that just this weekend finally swapped out his snows on steelies for the stock wheels.

People that think having a specific political party "in power" makes a lick of difference.

Where to begin?
- Speedjunkie and Erod both make excellent points....as does Huzer; oddly enough (ha ha).
- I'll agree to disagree with Geo. (You're still blaming Bush? :lol:

)
- Huzer makes a great point becuase BO was suppossed to bring unity and be able to 'get things done'. There seems to be *more* indecision/bickering/lack of productivity ever since he took office.

[changes subject away from politics]

- People who make delayed/short rent payments:rolleyes:

How it takes them forever to re-pave a street. They tore up Alameda last week and let it sit that way for four days straight. Does it really take that long for four lanes. It took them less time to do both sides of Speer.

It is taking them a while, but I am really glad they are paving Alameda. We take Alameda to I-25 for all the Broncos games and man was it a pain. So glad it is being redone.

In the "old" days of the net, they would do that to indicate they were left-handed. Now why anyone would care they were left-handed is anyone's guess. It may mean jack-all nowadays. Who knows.

After reading this page I just wanna say I hate politics in general. I hate watching it on tv, I hate reading about it on my news web sites.

I feel nearly powerless to do anything about it. Sure I'll go out and vote, but after that I feel its pretty pointless to discuss things further.

^Haha very true.

On the road improvement topic...when they put up road work signs and close lanes for 10 miles, when it takes them a year to finish just a mile of the road, making you slow down to 35 or whatever for no reason at all.

Also, when they leave the road work speed limit signs for months after they're finished with the work, like on Academy and Woodmen here in C Springs. Makes me think the cops want them up to be able to write more tickets...which infuriates me even more haha.

That road's condition pissed me off so bad anytime I took it to university, would cuss up a storm at every bump/pothole...
I believe they are converting alameda to one lane eastbound starting at downing, and adding turn lanes from alameda to downing, (no more illegal left turns) hopefully that helps traffic... Downing is always a nightmare around there. I was so mad when they took out the traffic lights on Washington and replaced with 4way stops, all that did was cause more traffic on downing, now it's a mess! I lived in cap hill before and wash park is just as bad now....

Also grinds me when they have 'fines doubled in work zones' when road work Isnt Taking place, seems like they do it to take in more mooniez.

Either way I hate road work, but love the result and fresh pavement

they may be taking a while to repave because they are waiting for sunday night or whenever they have agreed that traffic will be the least. Also. The cones and speedlimit is there for safety. Just recently two tow truck drivers were killed in a hit and run. They were out there for no more than 30 minutes. Imagine for the workers that spend all day working on the side for the road how much danger they are being put in. I drive 25 even though it says 35. I don't care if the douche behind me is running late and trying to be ricky bobby in his prius.

alex_n/a · Postby **alex_n/a** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 9:14

also I find it extremely annoying when I see "teens" in the lane next to me on their cell phone or applying make up. Women drivers that cut me off and have a baby seat in the back. I mean really your stupid ### is driving wrecklessly with a baby in the car. Also when db in their corrolla prius or other pussy car is driving fast and furious in traffic. They are a waste of gas and space. People do not know how to drive. I drive about 50 miles a day so I run into a lot of idiots. Usually it's women and or teens. And I know that it's sexest but hey. I have yet to see a guy put make up on while driving.

Having a place to rent about to sign the papers for a lease an get told not good for them an their expectations even though I'm the only one that has a job that ever has rented from them. I hate people here in pueblo. Theyre all trashy or all up to no goof. /rant. Have to look for places again... At least on the up side I don't have to break my current lease.

That sucks Christi. Best of luck finding another place. Try craigslist? That's where I found my pad. My landlord is awesome too.
