Douchebag:  *digs around in their giant suitcase sized purse* Twenty, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty two.....oh...lemme see....Twenty, twenty-five, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty------wait, I have change!  Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty, sixty-five, seventy, seventy-five, eighty, eighty-five....oh...I don’t have enough...lemme just give you another dollar.  Cashier:  From $57.00.... Douchebag:  WAIT!  Lemme give you the six cents.  One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six. Cashier:  From $57.06.  Your change is ten cents. Douchebag:  Can you give me two fives for this ten?  Do you have a roll of quarters? Me:  OH MY FUCK.  MOVE THE FUCK ON BEFORE I SLAP THE FUCK OUT OF YOU! Douchebag:  *glares at me as though I were the one being retarded* Twenty minutes later...after Douchebag gets all her change put away. Cashier:  Your total is $56.96. Me:  *swipes debit card, enters pin and waits 10 seconds or less* Cashier:  *hands me my receipt* ~~~~~~~ WHY DO THEY DO THAT?  I propose that cash be eliminated.  Just think of the savings from not having to print dollars or mint coins!  Not to mention the savings of TIME which is much more precious to me than anything else right now since I don’t seem to have much of it.  Just swipe your debit card and move the hell on.  Companies would save money too because the cashiers would be more efficient not having to count change and wait on people like Douchebag.

Still. Fuck cancer.  I hope it chokes. SUCKS! 2009-02-28T06:27:19-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/dear_nhl/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/dear_nhl/#When:02:34:08Z Please buy some HD cameras for Canada.  It is annoying to try to watch a hockey game broadcast from Canada as it looks like I’m watching the game through a thick layer of dust.  No, it isn’t dust on my TV.  I checked.  It is almost not worth it to watch if it isn’t in HD.  I can’t clearly see anything that is happening.  Please fix this immediately. Thank you.

Why?  Because working with “The GP” gives me tourettes.  Now, I’m not playin’ y’all.  I’m not saying that to be mean to tourettes sufferers.  And I’m not just saying that because some tourettes sufferers say curse words or inappropriate things.  No, when I’m out with these people, I have other issues.  Tics.  Things I can’t control. Maybe I have social anxiety.  But I’m not really that way around other situations....just when I’m working.  I have work tourettes. Examples: * I see someone walking down the aisle and I say to them, “Hi!  Are you finding everything okay?” Now y’all should know by now that I do not give two shits about whether they’re finding things okay.  It just comes out of my mouth without me even knowing until it is out. * I walk up to the counter and I smile. WTF?  I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME.  I DON’T SPONTANEOUSLY SMILE AT PEOPLE EVER.  * I’ll help a customer and be all smiley, selling, selling, smile, smile, thanks, smile, smile, have a great day, smile, smile.  Then I turn around and I feel like my head is going to explode unless I make a face that tells other around me just how much I fucking hate “The GP.” * If someone asks me for something that I don’t really want to do or asks me to go somewhere that I don’t want to go, I curse (you KNEW cursing was going to show up eventually, right?)...I curse enough to make a sailor blush. So you see, there is no way that I should be allowed out in public.  I never know how I’ll react to the ignorance of some people. Some people make my eye twitch.  Some people make me spontaneously smile.  And if you know a SINGLE THING about me, you’ll know that I AM NOT LIKE THAT EVER.  That both an eye twitch and a smile are, in my book, equally horrifying.  I’m pretty sure I need to be medicated.

Anyway, my new hairs: Everyday Stuff 2008-11-26T19:23:32-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/the_beginning_of_the_1990s/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/the_beginning_of_the_1990s/#When:20:59:50Z And here I was.  In my High School Senior photograph from 1990.  I didn’t realize I was so fat in high school!  I mean, I wasn’t really fat but my face...well, it must be holding on to some baby fat or something.  My cheeks aren’t that puffy now and I’m WAY bigger than I was in high school! Keep in mind that this is a photograph of a photograph so the quality is notsogood. Anyway, thought you’d all enjoy my BIG ASS PERMED HAIR.  *snort*   Everyday Stuff 2008-11-21T20:59:50-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/what_a_stinker/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/what_a_stinker/#When:17:53:56Z So, like Happy Halloween and stuff, y’all.  I’m not one to dress up or one to pass out candy to beggars...but I do love dressing up my dog.  LOL!  You KNEW it was coming, right?  Of course you did.  So, anyway, here is Dixie’s costume for this year.  Actually, it is a bit large for her but the Small looked so little and the medium is what I usually buy her...but I guess I should have gotten the small.  I mean, I can alter it and take in the straps and stuff...but yeah, I’m kinda lazy.  Isn’t this a look?  LOL!  She looks so put-out by it. heh Actually, she was in hate with standing on the folding table.  She knows when she stands on the folding table that she is either getting her nails clipped or brushed with THE OMFG RAKE...which isn’t a rake but is just a comb that strips her undercoat.  Anyway, she hates it. I guess I could have brushed her hair but that would have added to the trauma of being on the table. I LOVE this picture of her.  This is the look she gives me when she thinks I’m being a FUCKWITTED MORON. And this one!  With the ears...they make me LOL to death! So yeah anyway, Happy Halloween.  Have fun taking your children to strange houses and begging for food.  Hope that works out for ya’.

What the fuck am I talking about? This: Is it me or is that Creamy Sweet Corn Soup frowning?  :( Completely Random Crap 2008-10-07T01:18:09-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/commercials_are_dumb/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/commercials_are_dumb/#When:06:25:19Z I don’t view a lot of commercials because I don’t watch much television and what television that I do watch is normally pre-recorded on the DVR so that I can fast forward through them.  However, I was watching “live” television tonight and this commercial was aired: What. The. Fuck?  Now, I don’t know what the hell the people at Purina People Chow (Jack In the Box, you see, the chain of restaurants used to be owned by Ralston Purina..makers of Puppy Chow and Dog Chow and Cat Chow....thus, they are referred to by me as Purina People Chow ) were thinking when they approved this commercial, but I think it is slightly disturbing and WAY annoying.  In fact, Jack In the Box had another annoying commercial a few years back.  It featured a bologna eater (you see, I refer to single men who have crappy, dirty cars or those who wear sweat pants as bologna eaters because no one in their right mind would ever have a crappy, dirty car or wear sweat pants unless they were single and nearing middle age losers with crappy jobs, thus meaning they ate stupid, cheap food like bologna sandwiches as they trotted along in their WoW game in their mother’s basement) anyway...it was this guy who was eating this huge-ass burger and shit was dripping off of it and he was making slurpy sounds and eating like a bologna eater would eat (in my imagination) which is all loud and messy and without a fork and knife or napkin. Anyway.  I hate Jack in the Box commercials.  Though their breakfast burritos are kinda good even if they do have potatoes in them.  And their tea is good...but not as good as McDonald’s iced tea.  Completely Random Crap 2008-09-29T06:25:19-08:00 http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/whats_in_a_name/ http://kentuckygurl.com/index.php/site/whats_in_a_name/#When:05:06:53Z Today I was shocked.  I was reduced to only blinking at someone because of the ignorance which they displayed right in front of me right into my ear. A woman that I know casually told me that she was not voting for Barack Obama because of his name.  *blink blink blink* Then she goes on to say, “You know, that name.  I don’t trust it.  I mean they say he isn’t, but I just can’t know.  I mean, his father was.” *blink blink blink* A NAME?  You aren’t voting for someone because of a name?  I’m not voting for Barack Obama because I don’t agree with most of what he says...not because of his race, his gender, what he had for breakfast, what color his tie is, whether or not he is regular, what religion he is or is not, how many socks he owns or his name. I was floored, y’all.  I didn’t know what to say.  I couldn’t even pretend like I didn’t know what she was trying to say.  All I could do was blink.  I mean, I live in the People’s Republic of California.  Peace, love, equality for all...and the rest of that happy horse shit.  I really hate ignorance.
