What are your pet peeves?

That is so annoying. Vegetable soup is soup with vegetables. It does not make it vegetarian by default.

I just got out of the shower and I thought of one of my pet peeves.

I HATE it when the when the conditioner runs out before the shampoo or vice versa. Why can't they just empty out equally?

[Matterhorn Fan]

Because they put conditioner, usually, in smaller bottles. Idiots.

I also am out of conditioner. But I have plenty of shampoos and a couple half bottles of those 2-in-1's.

Speaking of shampoo, one of my personal pet peeves is the way Ralphie likes to collect complimentary shower items from hotels. They collect everywhere in our bathroom and literally liter our shower and sink! Oy.

I like to do that (free stuff!), but then I realized that it's usually junk and I never use them. I just leave them at the hotel now.

If I give you Ralphie's email address, would you tell him for me?

The bottles are really small and they fall through the slats on the shower caddy. And I don't even use those shampoos and soaps and stuff. A lot of them dry my skin and hair out. Yuck!

He did take the ones from the Kahala Mandarin in Honolulu once. That stuff was great. (It was an expensive hotel that we saved up for and spent one night there. It was awesome. I wish we were rich.)

I take the good ones for my overnight kit. The W has Bliss products which are nice. Most of the time they are crapola though.

What would happen if you just decided to deep clean the bathroom one day and the "Tilex" just, oh, I don't know, decided at random to clean these small items right out of the house?

Lani collect the hotel toiletries and sends them as part of care packages to soldiers.

So if you really have a bundle of them and recognize you'll never use them, you might get in contact with her. I believe we'll be doing another round this fall when my brother-in-law gets deployed to Tikrit.

Gardeners who don't know the difference between "trim" and "hack". Gardners who don't clean up after they've hacked. Gardners who say they are going to do something on Monday last and show up today instead. Gardners who don't actually know anything about gardening. Gardners who have never seen a nice garden in their lives. Gardners who think Rosemary and Lavender should be trimmed into bald-looking orbs. Gardners who you have to pay extra to do major trimming because they haven't been doing trimming as part of the regular maintenance.

Maybe my expectations are too high?

By the way, climbing roses are supposed to climb and don't take nicely to be hacked with a chain saw.
