Oh but come on. You gotta have something that gets to you. You do have something. You really do. Else you'd be perfect. Do you WANT me to open a thread on that?

Shalom Isaiah,

Nope, not perfect at all. I am however a cancer survivor. I was unsure whether I was going to live or die. I was unsure whether I would be here to raise my children, or be buried next to my 3 1/2 year old son. At that time I understood that there is more in this life than little "pet peeves." That experience of almost dying 5 separate times changed how I see things, and people.

Obviously the L-rd did choose to let me live, and I still understand that I should look at things through the eyes of Jesus and in the light of eternity as I did then on my deathbed.

So no, I really don't have any "pet peeves" because there are more important things to spend my energy on. Like being the best wife, mom and daughter of Jesus that I can to bring Him glory. I don't have time to worry if someone doesn't do something the way I think they should, or they do something I think they shouldn't.

If someone uses a word incorrectly, so what? I'm gonna get upset about that? No way!

And since I can't change other people, just myself, if I do find myself getting upset about something stupid like that, I think about Jesus and if that is important to Him. It's not of course, so it shouldn't be important to me.

Hey, if you wanna open a thread about that, go right ahead!

Wal-Mart check outs....It doesn't matter how many they have, there's only 2 or 3 open. Same for Lowe's and Home Depot.

[None]

1)People who don't think before they speak/type, like myself.

2)People who point blame.

3)Hypocrites.

Just say..... "Well Bless Their Heart"

Fixes everything except sin.

Now that's true! In the south, you can say anything about anybody, and as long as you tack on, "Bless their heart," at the end, you're OK. Like this: 'Yeah, FresnoJoe, he's a real so-and-so, bless his heart." See? It negates the negative "so-and-so" comment.

Mornin' Joe!

Yikes!

I'm sorry for what you've gone through, but please don't bite at me because I didn't know!

Shalom Isaiah,

Bite at you? What are you talking about? There was not even one hint of a bite (or even a nibble) towards you or anyone in my post.

Perhaps you misread what I said? I was simply opening up myself and sharing my heart. I have no animosity towards you, I don't know how you could have gotten that impression, but I am sad that you do.

Please remember, we cannot see each other's faces and hear each other's tone. Sometimes, written words can be read several ways. Please give the person the benefit of the doubt when you are unsure of their meaning, me in this case. And in this case, you have read my meaning wrong.

This was a deeply emotional and painful post to write and I made myself vulnerable by writing it and my thoughts were not on you or anyone, but in glorifying G-d. Again, I don't know how or why you saw my words as a "bite" against you, but nothing could be further from the truth.

My pet peeves are:

1. People using "Jesus", "Christ" or "God" as swear words (they don't yell out "Bhudda" to curse, why insult Christ?)

2. People using obscenities and other swear words several times in one sentence. Some people seem incapable of saying anything at all without adding 30% swear words.

3. People doing 80km in a 100km zone who won't pull over and let you pass. (I tackled one woman about it and she said "I don't feel safe doing 100km anywhere" - I was speechless.

4. People who say "that aggravates me so much" when they obviously mean "irritates me so much".

5. People who have their headlights on full beam during bright sunlight, during the day (what, are they being "extra safe" or something?)

6. When you are going down a rural road and somebody comes towards you just before a bend in the road, with their headlights on "dip" and they shine right in your eyes and you can't see where you're going.

7. People who write "your" when they mean "you're", or "their" when they mean "there", or "there" or "their" when they mean "they're".

Oh, and of course another "pet peeve" is people who complain all the time, especially about trivial things.
