Movies or tv shows that get REALLLLLLLY loud during the violent or musical scenes, then get REAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLY quiet when the dialogue occurs. When the violent part hits, I have to play "Find the Remote Before My Eardrums Bleed".

I hate that! Ugh! It happens in music too, especially classical music. My husband has actually taken the remote control away from me before just because he was sick of me turning it way up for dialogue and character development parts and way down for action parts. Too bad for him he can't take away the volume knob on the car stereo.

I mean what were they thinking? You can't hear a darn thing the violins are doing so you turn it up, and then someone starts whaling on a bass drum and cymbals. Gah!

Same problem, and yet to find any sort of lotion or jelly that does anything more than temporarily relieve the problem. In fact, I have this theory that generally, lotions only make it worse over time.

I used to have chronic chapped lips and yet I used chapstick all the time. What I came to suspect was using oil heavy products actually ends up drying your lips out for 2 reasons: a) oil rich environment encourages less natural oil production, and b) oil saturation kills cells so no healing actually takes place.

And wouldn't it be the grandest gimmick? Sell people crap that actually causes their problem that they're buying your product to solve. This is all of course just theory, I'm no dermatologist. But I did manage to kick the chapstick habit by switching to an all natural beeswax based alternative, and then only used it sparingly. I do on occasion still get chapped lips but it's a quickly passing phase as long as I stick it out and don't go get some petroleum and "apply liberally".

Back to hands. Reapplying the same theory, I've basically kept away from oil based products as they do nothing in the long run but leave me with dry cracked hands as soon as I stop using them (or as soon as I want my hands not to be greasy). Also, it doesn't take dawn and hot water to dry out your hands: generally hot water alone is enough, soap will just aggravate the problem. Use mild soap, preferably bar soap as liquid soaps are actually detergents, and wash with cold water unless you really need your hands super free of bacteria. Try to keep from washing your hands unnecessarily, and keep the water temperature as low as possible in the shower. Also, wear gloves! This might be an obvious in colder places, but I'm in a kind of moderate place with long hot summers and short cold winters, so gloves aren't necessarily something people have here when you can easily "tough it out".

Been following the above regimen a couple years now and my right hand has slightly "broken out" for the last day (probably washed it too hard once or twice) but oddly enough, my left hand is looking super. I suspect the right will calm down in a few days as long as I don't aggravate it further, but evidence enough (for me, at least) that slight variations in behavior do make a world of difference. Wish I could take a pic actually because it looks like 2 different peoples hands, but I only have a shitty cell camera.

This is really easy to correct on a PC. I like to steam all my stuff through it anyway. PCs are ftw! Can equalize your volume. Neat trick!

We get two radio basic stations in town. One is the town radio station, which is normal everyday music. I can't stand it because they play Adele every three songs, minimum, and I can't stand Adele's music. The other is a news station in which 60-year old men stand around and talk about things no one cares about.

So we listen to a station from out of town (way out of town!) that plays nothing but rock. Since it's from so far away, it's usually fuzzy. Today it's raining though, so it was nothing but static.

So I turned it to the town radio station in the car, but told my husband I was going to be scarred for life if they were playing Adele.

And you guessed it. The town station was right in the middle of an Adele song.



Stop it! Stop giving her whiny, guilt-tripping, oh-so-sad-is-me, stupid songs attention! Stop giving her attention and she'll go away! Stop playing her songs every other stinkin' song! >< Once a day from her is once a day more than plenty, she doesn't have to be on every five minutes! All day! Every day!

motherfucking Adele
This is why I don't listen to the radio. They overplay anything decent (and most everything else too) until you can't stand it. If it absolutely has to be on for some reason, I always put on the local oldies station.

People who don't know what a file folder is, yet keep asking me how to do something with a computer.

Overall people who don't realize how complex computers are, they expect them to be TV's that do what they want, when they want, and won't think about why.

Youtube bloody ads.

I haven't seen a Youtube ad, ever -- only reason I know they exist is people saying they hate them. Not sure what I use that bypasses them but don't care to tell them so they can find a work around to it like Hulu did.

Ad block plus removes them completely so all you see is your video you wanted to watch in the first place.

Do you use adblock? My youtube ads stopping coincided with getting adblock I'm pretty sure, didn't think it would work on youtube ads at the time but I was pleasently surprised.

People overwriting my fully merited and geared ShellraV (or bar-element spells).

Bonus grinding if they decide to cast the wrong element bar-spell.
