      ...I'm talking about things breaking down and needing repair and replacement...

      Why should they have it any differently than us frail humans (in fact, I think the opposite would be more frustrating)!

      Years ago, after having the "isn't declawing just mutilation" conversation, I asked the vet how to protect my couch: "Choose not to have cats." I chose differently...and about a lot of things since, still feels good (though I don't have a lot of overnight guests :`) But I do understand, and best not get me ranting on the truck not starting...

      I guess I've accepted the gradual degeneration of things, by shifting focus onto the good wonders that cause it, but sudden finality still ticks me off...as will my own. (It also helps that I can't see the chipped paint anymore without getting down on my knees while wearing my reading glasses...or is this just a metaphor for what I just said :`)

        We are probably close to understanding why grandmothers everywhere used to have clear vinyl covers over their furniture. Some even had rooms that nobody were allowed to use.
        LOL 🤣

        My maternal grandparents lived in relative luxury by 1940's inner city Scotland standards- a family of 7 living in a 2 bedroom house with a front room that was only used for special occasions.

          Jackson - here in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada it is still very common in older homes to have a 'parlor' that is kept perfect (ie unused) for things like the wake when grampa dies. I suppose historically they'd also be used if the preacher/priest dropped in for a visit or maybe the Christmas tree. In daily life however they are effectively off-limits. This has seemed to change a bit as people build more 'suburban' homes, yet I've noted the old practice still hangs on. Most new suburban houses here seem to have a big well-loved 'family room' but keep a small (sometimes tiny) formal "living room" that is relatively unused.

          Susan - right now at my home a tap is constantly dripping, the latch on the back door is sticking, the stopper on a lav isn't working, etc. etc. It is a big list and yes it is an irritation when I take notice. I just don't have the time to keep on top of everything. Rather than worry about it I choose the 'ignore it (and perhaps it will go away)' route and try to just see the positives. I'm happy that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, and people to share life with.

          Regards, Ross

                'good old chinese, eh,' implies one of two things:

                1. This person has a good knowledge of things Chinese, for example, history, culture, politics?....maybe has even visited the country?....has Chinese friends and has discussed the paradoxes and complexity of China at the moment?

                2. Or its just a glib racist slur.

                  That photograph could've been taken at an Olympics in any country in the world. The "good old Chinese" comment clearly implied that the photo demonstrated a negative preconception of the state of affairs in China.... which would be justifiable if it was a photo of Chinese military police "suppressing" demonstators with batons (as it would at least be true to form), but a photograph of poverty alongside wealth, or hidden behind corporate facades is no more specific to China than 99% of the rest of the world's nations.

                  Of course two wrongs don't make a right, but here's one to even it up a bit (and yes, what this photo represents pisses me off!):UK.JPG
                  Good Old British eh? 😉

                    Things that really piss (inclusive) me off:

                    “… wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.” (Isaiah 1:13)

                    Other translations:
                    “I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.”
                    “I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.”
                    “I cannot endure iniquity and profanation, even the solemn meeting.”

                      The photo of China could pretty much represent any new development in my town or in just about any other - shiny and new on one side of the fence - derelict and neglected on the other. I think it is a universal double standard.

                        …PERFIDIOUSNESS…?!?

                        Occasionally, we are mor perfidious than Judas…!

                        Memorable scene:
                        "And as soon as Judas was come, he goeth straightway to Him, and saith, Master, and kissed Him." (Mark 14:45)

                          Cornel, please don't take this as an insult, I don't intend it that way, but it never fails to amaze me how unintelligible your posts are. You're obviously an intelligent guy (girl?), but no matter how hard I try I can never extract any actual meaning or intent behind your posts other than quoting what seems to me to be random biblical texts and your brief, almost coded references to them. Why do you choose to be so cryptic with your own words, but so literal with those of the Bible? I'm genuinely interested!... and pleeeeease, is it too much to ask you to reply to my this question without quoting the Bible?

                              Yes, Jackson,

                              …behold an example re. “a thing that piss me of”, “without quoting the Bible”:

                              "You will never know that Jesus is all you need, until Jesus is all you have."
                              (by Max Lucado)

                                    If it’s not suitable, you can inverse that phrase!

                                    Perceive:
                                    "Until Jesus is all you have", "you will never know that Jesus is all you need"!

                                          it pisses me off when people post in a "what pisses you off" thread and then get completely off topic and start being grammar nazis.
