Things that are annoying beyond measure:

 

Slideshows for what should be a simple article.  

 

Clicking on a link only to get a paragraph and having to click on the "read more" link, only to get another measly paragraph and have to click on the "Read the complete story at washingtonpost.com".  Grrrrr.  

 

And headlines that are so off the wall and misleading from the actual article.

IVY!

AND, the new blue screen of death for an article!

I swear they are doing their best to limit accessibility to true/real news stories.

It's a plot by the liberal left..

I wish I could!  I am over halfway through Path of the Assassin by Brad Thor.  My boss, though also an avid reader, frowns on it at work.  Well unless it is an insurance policy.  The most mind numbing reading ever.

 I am listening to "As You Wish," by Cary Elwes.

It's only 6 CD's, so a fairly short book. I'm also reading a YA novel called "Exit, pursued by a bear."

p.s. After I finish his memoir, I am going to watch The Princess Bride. I have no idea how long it's been since I've seen it.

Can I complain about updates on my phone?

Always seems to happen when I'm in the middle of something.

I always decline them because I don't know what they will do.

This will probably get me kicked out of TG but I've never watched The Princess Bride & really have no inclination to.

You might try it sometime, though.

 I wouldn't do it justice. Try IMDb.

It's from a book by William Goldman (which I've never read).

Mandy Patakin (sp?) And Andre the Giant are in it.

I hate the slideshow thing too. Just give me the article.

Phone updates somewhat annoy me. Depends if they've changed a feature I like. I don't care much for the latest version of Android but oh well.

I never saw Princess Bride and don't care to. I have no interest in the movie.

 Me too. I fear it's a terrorist plot to hijack my phone and I will never be able to replace it.

LOL, I'm going to use that the next time my brother gives me crap about not doing the updates.

 That is just so wrong.  You are so lucky I've already banned one person today and that Vette's return has me in a good mood.

It's funny and fabulous.

 It's only been 10 minutes.  

 

But there's a party going on in the "Trump is racist???" thread.

 You hush!  You probably just fall asleep before you can get into it.  You seem to do that at the drop of a hat!

In all fairness to the poster sent to banned camp the party was not thrown because she got banned.  It just sort of happened when Trudy & I got drunk & LL showed up with Jello shots.

 That happens to me sometimes.  Not sure what I do, but it eventually reappears.  I figure LL is screwing with me.

Don't they understand that not all seniors are gullible?

Got a call on my voice mail - "this is to advise you that you are being sued. The IRS has a levy against you. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx, ext xxxx to resolve this matter before you are arrested and brought to court"

DUH! Don't they understand that the IRS contacts citizens ONLY by US Postal Service?

I have a mind to call the number and mess with their heads!  furious
