Pet Peeves

[Glacier]

My wife called me a dogspoiler. I am so offended.

The word separate peeves me. I always want to spell it sepErate, and I have to actually think about it when I type it, because neither of its two pronunciations matches how it's spelled. Why does it have that stupid first A? (Yes, yes, I know the etymology, shut up). Why is it /ˈsep(ə)rət/ as an adjective, but /ˈsepəˌrāt/ as a verb? Argh, English is such an annoying and arbitrary language sometimes.

You are only a faint shadow of a feeble wannabee.

I may have said this one before.
Posters who don’t add a link to the story they are talking about, is definitely a Pet Peeve of mine.

The smell of bacon when you don't have any in the house.

Where is it coming from?
Our basement suite.
Our tenant is cooking bacon, which he does three or four times a month.
We buy bacon once or twice a year.
Of course the smell permeates our house. I look at my wife, knowing full well the answer
"We don't have any bacon, do we?"
More of a statement than a question.

I think our next cellar dweller will be a vegetarian.

Maybe even take it to next step and rent to a Vegan.

Tsk, tsk, tsk - should always have a package or two in the freezer for such emergencies.

How can you NOT have bacon in your house???

(My son made bacon cheddar broccoli soup last night, it was divine!)

It crashed a few times, apparently.

It did finally go live sometime after 8:30 am . . . and it is taking a while to finish. I've been working on it for not quite an hour.

A friend said it apparently only takes 15 minutes to complete.... she said that is bs.

Apparently the province greatly underestimated the response.

[Lady tehMa]

Still working on it =_=

Edit: 1 hour and 45 minutes. =_=

And I am still waiting on the confirmation email. I have a confirmation number, though
