1. What the hell is the point of the 9/10th thing on gas station signs? (Check Brian’s blog for an example). You know, unleaded fuel will say $2.98 and then have the 9/10th next to it. Meaning…what? That I’m that nine tenths of a cent away from paying $2.99?

2. Who the hell is Oliver Palermo and why do I keep getting his *$&!#%ing junk email?

3. I’ve had some ten or so long lost kin folk die within the last couple of years that I never knew of, but I’m getting all these emails now from solicitors overseas who want to send me the inheritence! Woo! I’m gonna be rich!

4. There once was a time when people wore “driving” gloves. Isotoner used to make driving gloves. (Now they just make…gloves). I wear a nice pair of leather gloves when I drive. I’ve been doing this for about three years now because I got sick of my hands getting sweaty and slimey on the steering wheel and the gear shift. The gear shift especially, since I don’t have a leather wrapped gear shift. It’s just the cheapy rubbery/plastic thing and it’s disgusting on a hot sticky day. Thank God for the $10 leather gloves from Target. Apparently tho’ I’m the only person in the world that does this as I had someone point out to me the other day, “Um, MaryAnne, you don’t need your gloves! It’s hot out!” When I explained why I wore them I was then told I was wimp. Okay, I’m wimp because I wish to have a better grip and control of my steering wheel and my gear shift while driving my car? I am missing something?

5. I mentioned once in a previous post that a lot of modern pop music sucks nowadays. This hasn’t changed since that post. What’s worse tho’ is I often get one of these crappy songs stuck in my head. ARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

6. I’m attempting to make this a top ten list. I dunno why as I don’t understand why it has to be ten. Who came up with ten being the magic number? Couldn’t it have been seven? Seven’s a nice number. Afterall, it’s the Seven Wonders of the World (of which there’s a new list now) not the Ten Wonders of the World. And if it were a top seven list I would only have one more topic to go instead of four.

7. I’ve been told that next year the 4th of July will fall on a Friday. Good, because I’ll tell ya, having a day off in the middle of the week is for the birds!

8. Why is it when I’m traveling on a four lane road and I want to make a left hand turn across traffic, the inside lane of the oncoming traffic will stop for me, but the outside lane won’t?

9. It never ceases to amaze me how some women dress, especially during the summer, to go to the grocery store. I mean…the grocery store! I saw a girl the other day who had on a dress that showed enough cleavage to be illegal. It was a good thing she wasn’t near the melons or there woulda been some big trouble.

10. I have ten fingers, I have ten toes, but do you think I can come up with 10 topics for this list?
