When did common sense become such a rare commodity?
Why do we need fish flies (aka May flies and Canadian soldiers)?
Why aren't elected officials in Washington subject to the same insurance concerns as the rest of us? Perhaps more of us need to run for office just for the life long insurance benefits.
Why are the two political parties such big businesses? Ever feel that they are lobbyists are really running the country and what you and I want is barely heard or considered?
Why aren't long time customers rewarded occasionally for their loyalty? One son just switched cable and internet companies. He is getting more than we have, for less money. Hubby called and asked if we had to leave and return in order to get a deal after being told that was for new customers only. He squawked long enough and loud enough that our rate has been reduced by $20 per month and we'll get HBO for a year. You know they aren't going broke doing this. Wouldn't it be nice if long time customers got a perk instead of just the new ones?
The rudeness and common sense rants came about because I went grocery shopping. On a Saturday....what was I thinking???
The fish flies, government, politics and cable rants are all self explanatory. Now if I can just get the bug guts stains out of hubby's golf shorts, the last of my crankiness should dissipate.

You hit it on the nail! Hubby is turning 65 in Nov and we are getting calls and mail to alert us to the fine details (and their expertise) of Medicare. DH was hired by the FDA back in Sept of 1972. That means that we are not covered by Social Security and have different options than those that were hired later. BIL is federal bank examiner and falls under Social Security. I, on the other hand, being a housewife for most of my married life have no Social Security benefits. I lack enough quarters to qualify, even though I paid into the system for the time that I did work out side the home AND when I operated a home business. Because of the travel demands of hubby's job and the serious illnesses of our daughters, it was best for me to stay at home. I am grateful that hubby has a pension, but we would not be making it as well if it weren't for a FIL who left us a chunk of stock.
Fish flies could make anyone irritable, dear. Blame it on them. Nasty smelling creatures. It's always a joy to walk in the early morning feeling and hearing, crunch, crunch crunch as you walk. Blech.
I rather enjoyed your post and never heard of fish flies before.
It is high time we just say what we feel.......period.
