You know what I'm utterly pissed about? Why the F is food so extremely expensive?

I'm paying $10-$13 a dozen for quality eggs. WTF! Right?! What happened to controlling inflation on DAY ONE. I'm just totally and completely disillusioned with what people say. I mean I should so believe them, shouldn't I? They are the most moral, humane, sane, articulate, intelligent beings on the planet? I mean if you cannot believe billionaires, who can you believe?

And when did contractors start being such a-holes?

What is happening to our lovely little world? Daisies and green grass and ponds---- that's what we live for.

Not this greed personified.

Oh and today the lawn service totally did such a partial get-at-it-good-questionable-service. They thought I was away and took that available advantage. Now what to do? I believe in giving folks a second chance (and sometime a third) but geez when does it end? I'm paying $1200 more for a clear out. MY guy (the landscape guy) charged me 3K and now I have to pay the $1200. I think it's time to let him go. In fact that's exactly what I'm going to do. Conflict is not my favorite thing. I so want to believe people are honest. I truly do.

I'm such a moron.

Okay so today I was driving down this major highway and this dumb as a rock MFer truck driver pulled right in front of me and scared me .What am I supposed to do?

I've considered extreme measures.

I've always thought truckers should have their own roads. Think how much better it would be for the rest of us? Instead of a 15-hr drive, it would be like 13 hours? maybe? maybe less?

Let's bring back trains! Damn it. They don't clog up the highways like trucks do. Seriously.

I don't know much about store bought eggs. Closest grocery store has regular for under $3/doz. I checked Sam's (about 90 miles away), about $4 for "organic pasture raised". Neighbor sells home raised, think she said $3. She handed me 3 dozen for nothing last time I was there. Have some family with them too, and I've been thinking about having my own (again). Summer season most have gardens, and also raise our own beef, so, not much thought about a lot of the stuff in stores.

Contractors, never hired one. I just ordered new roof metal, get to it when I can. Helps not having permits or anything to deal with for any construction/repairs, and it's not hard to do.

"Lawn service" Outer lawn gets autonomous/automatic 4 legged trimming occasionally, inner takes about 20 minutes every couple weeks.

How bad was it? (what the asshole did)

Should you get a gun? Is he dangerous? Would he hurt you?

I'm paying over $10 dozen for eggs (of course pasture raised and I pay more if I can find PR and organic.) Absolute truth.

Sounds like happy time with your contractors and lawn service. That's just not the case for most of us. My lawn service was incredibly corrupt. And so was many of my contractors.
