Thursday Thirteen #10 (Welcome Back!)


Thirteen Things that Irk me about Petty People


Well, it’s like we were never gone, isn’t it?

Thirteen Things that Irk me about Petty People (rough week at work …who me?)

1. They are so focused on themselves that they don’t realize that they’re hurting others.
2. They take the joy out of the simplest things.
3. No consideration of anyone else.
4. Lack of Depth
5. They make mountains out of molehills.
6. They pout …and it isn’t even cute.
7. Whining …just give me the cheese and no one will be hurt.
8. They whisper, like no one around knows that they’re talking about other people behind their backs.
9. The way that they travel in gaggles …*shudder*
10. The emphasis on material possessions and “keeping up with the Jones’.”
11. The inability to sense or appreciate the world around them.
12. It never occurs to them to try to change anything in their lives.
13. They focus on the inconsequential part of an issue, rather than trying to make an impact upon the big picture problem.

Thirteen Toys/Games I Loved as a Kid





1. Sit & Spin – wheeeeeeeeeeeeee some things never change. LOL
2. Operation – there was definitely something missing in that man’s anatomy …just sayin’.
3. Simon – Drove my Mother crazy with that thing. ;-)
4. Shrinky Dinks – I wonder just what we inhaled when those things were baking?
5. Stretch Octopus - Like Stretch Armstrong, but a purple Octopus
6. Easy Bake Oven – I can’t believe that they turned it into a microwave and made it Pink!
7. Fashion Plates - Anyone else have these? The tops and bottoms interchanged and you put a piece of paper over them and rubbed a crayon over it to make different outfits.
8. Lite Brite – I love that this is still available for kids!
9. Barbie – I’ll admit it, Dammit!
10. Colorforms – TOO much fun!
11. Baby Alive – Man did that food stuff that you had to mix up STINK!
12. Strawberry Shortcake – and all of her smelly friends …
13. Books – I know that they aren’t toys or games, but it wouldn’t be a recap of my favorite things as a kid without books. I had a deep closet in my room and all of my clothes (obviously) were short, so my Mom set up a library in there. I had a lamp and pillows and all of my books lining the edges of the closet. I would sit in there for hours and read.

Thirteen Simple Things to help the Environment


1. Wash your clothes in cold water.
2. Turn off the lights when you leave the room (providing that no one is still in there *g*).
3. Use canvas bags when shopping instead of plastic.
4. Use paper bags when you shop if you forget your canvas bag.
5. Replace your light bulbs with high efficiency bulbs.
6. Don't let the water run while you brush your teeth.

8. Support someone who is teaching how to live a greener/more eco-friendly lifestyle.
9. Keep your fridge and freezer filled so it runs more efficiently.
10. Keep your blinds/curtains drawn during the day in the summer to keep heat out, and open during the day in the winter to let light and heat in.
11. Consolidate errands to save gas and emit fewer carbons into the air.
12. Send an ecard for a birthday or holiday rather than a paper card, or make sure that the paper card that you send is either recycled or "tree free."
