Post gripes.

Those that can't post gripes?

They're lurking!

2. Is this in response to something/someone?
Or just a general observation?

9. I've just had too much caffeine, as usual.
Green Tea: it's good for you AND it makes your head spin.

7. Griping and posting and doing are not mutually exclusive!
And I like to gripe. It helps me maintain my sanity.
At least I'm not running down to the corner store buying weapons or downing huge quantities of tranquilizers.
Gotta problem widdat?

Peace :P

10. I think they are
although I am tapping my foot and sucking on a piece of candy as I type this. You can post a gripe, post, and do in the same day, but not all at once. Soon I will turn on the TV for the evening weather report.

But who could not like griping? Let's all hold hands and sing kum-bah-ya instead.

11. Let's hold hands,...
,...and move, together, against tyranny and towards ourselves.

Let's do that.

12. It's demeaning to compare my "doing" to your candy sucking
And I most certainly can gripe and inform at the same time!

Basically, this is how I see it: If you're not pissed off, you're part of the problem. And if you're pissed off, it's best to let it out, else you'll develop ulcers (or neck bumps like Homer did!). And I hate that song Kumbayah.

15. We'll throw them in a pit and force them to listen to us sing Kumbayah!
Over and over and over again!

How's THIS for a noninformative, gripey post?
