Do you guys ever watch Holmes on Homes? It boils my blood when I see the terrible mess that low life con artists (who call themselves contrators), leave people's homes in. Too many laws protecting the contractors and not the homeowners!

There's nothing wrong with music when it's included in a video, or anything, when it's appropriate, but in some videos, like most of them on YouTube, music just DOES NOT BELONG IN THERE!

Here's one example - I want to hear the sounds of the radio-controlled plane, NOT THE MUSIC!

I almost never have my speakers turned so this doesn't bother me. As a former RC pilot I'm impressed with the pilot's skill. I could do a lot of the stunts he does but not that close to the ground. Below 10' you separate the men from the boys. I never quite grew up.

Gee, kinda like AliceT stops doing the pet peeves and LaceyEx has to step up to the plate to continue it.
I never thought that AliceT would run out of pet peeves. Thanks for all the work each day posting those threads to make all of us laugh, smile, or cry. A job well done!

And another question ~ is it true that the asylum in your county area doesn’t allow patients to go online and post at C-D ? lol
